> What do you mean by using the key cluster module? I don't have it, but how does that help you when you need to use a laptop?

Well, I put a lot of mappings in the cluster module (tmux prefix, tmux macros, another alt, still playing with what's optimal there), but idea is to focus onto the cluster module what'll not be available on common/laptop keyboard so when you do have to use it, your muscle memory won't press the wrong buttons, since they aren't there. I don't think it completely removes the issue of muscle memory and changing keyboard, but for me it certainly goes a long way.

Similar thing with trackpoint module, when I use trackpad, my hand still starts moving in right direction and prepping a finger to move a cursor.

As a result of those two things, I really rarely experience dissonance using my different keyboards. The only thing I do notice is how it's terrible to use non-split, so I just try not to do it as often as I can.
Thank you for writing the obvious.
Instruction Byte count is the wrong metric here 100%.
Instruction Count (given reasonable decoding/timing constraints) is the thing to optimize for and indeed variable length encoding is very bad.
Likely a generic name for a resident.
You're being downvoted but your point about FAANG engineers not being "special" resonates to a degree with me. I think every team need engineers, that are learning, to do the drudgery — even (especially?) FAANG companies. (I did mostly that in my own career.)

To be sure, FAANG companies have their luminaries that are some of the brightest people I have ever known. Among engineering they are recognized as the really smart ones — the ones you go to when a bug is kicking your ass (for example — or when you need to re-architect the entire graphics pipeline of your product in order to stream 60 FPS 1080K video).

But they are not representative of the rank and file at big companies.
I feel you. The attempt from the article author to frame Hotz' comments as something deeply intellectual made me laugh. I don't dislike Hotz, it's okay to have opinions and to be passionate about what you do. But to put him on such a pedestal as if he was some kind of paradigm-shifting genius is ridiculous.

He's a nerd, he likes engineering, AI and crypto, dislikes universities, sees himself as a genius and thinks the unabomber manifesto is deep philosophy. Wow. How original.

I setup Git to use Perforce’s P4Merge as the Git mergetool. P4Merge is cross-platform and free and quite good.
For YouTube, that has been the case for a while in Germany. Certain videos (usually semi-pornographic, I think I only encountered it for black metal music videos) will require age verification. And that is despite my Google account being 18 years old…
I'm seeing some logical leaps here... I suggest asking clarifying questions instead of making strange assumptions.
Moved from development to quant trading. Still involves writing code but that's not the focus, and the code is for yourself, not somebody else. Much more satisfying having such a direct feedback loop between your code/research and its impact on the markets in production. Also feels more intellectually stimulating in that many of the problems you solve don't have an existing solution (or at least not one in the public domain). And very satisfying if you're a competitive person, because your every success is in a sense the failure of somebody in another trading firm.
This is super interesting. Curious how using stilts helps in a swamp land as my assumption would be that the stilts would get stuck. Obviously there was some practical advantage or they wouldn’t have done it, though. Also why did the swamps dry up? Was this because of weather changes or human intervention?
That's not a concern unless your application is broken. An application should stick to one DB instance for one and the same isolated task, not open multiple parallel connections to interact with.
It's been a bit different in each of the companies I've had it, but fundamentally it's about using product expertise, general tech skills, and problem-solving to help the people who are using the product. Sometimes there are planned/scheduled/proactive projects, but the primary responsibility is responding to and helping with whatever issues customers are running into. This means the job can be unpredictable, because on any given day you don't know what's going to come up, but I like that - it keeps things new and interesting.

Support requests come in through whatever channels the team uses (every team I've been on has used email, some have also used Slack/phone/videoconference/etc.) and include things like bug reports, questions about best practices or how to do something with the product, and sometimes feature requests. As a support engineer, I take ownership of the support requests and do whatever is appropriate to drive them toward successful resolutions for the customer.

Because software products can change quickly, this often involves learning new features or systems. I often get support requests about tools or workflows I've never seen before (or that have changed significantly since the last time I looked at them) and have to quickly get up to speed on them. I learn best when it's in service of a goal, so this works well for me - I'm trying to help the customer accomplish their own goal and that motivates me to dig in and learn.

If it's a bug, I also investigate and try to reproduce the reported behavior. Sometimes the issue isn't what it appeared and the problem was that our documentation or UX was unclear, in which case I clarify things to the customer and file a ticket to fix the docs/UX. (Or just fix it myself - the amount of direct work I've been able to do in the docs/product has varied between companies, based largely on their size.) Sometimes it is a bug, in which case I'll try to come up with some alternate way for the customer to do what they are trying to do and then also file a ticket to get the bug fixed (with clear repro steps and getting as close to the root cause as I can, depending on how familiar I am with that part of the code base).

I also try to be proactive and serve as a customer champion - in most companies I've seen, product support has the broadest view of what issues are coming up for customers, and that can be valuable signal for the product team on how to prevent issues before they happen.

That's it in a nutshell. :) Always learning and applying expertise to help people succeed. I think it's a great fit for people who don't need to be in the spotlight but like knowing they've helped individuals and who work well in a rapidly-changing environment. (I think it might actually be kind of a dream role for technical people who have ADHD.)
Yeah, the DID you receive from the attestation service can be used multiple times, and is assumed to be immutable, so you sign messages with your private key to prove ownership of the DID but generally reveal no other information. One concern would be that a backend integration might exist between the Australian government’s attestation service and Google’s system, in which case there might be benefit to the existence of an alternative public institution that is committed to privacy which has the demonstrated authority to verify age.
>"Once you've worked with love, you won't want to work in any other way."

Interesting quote. It really makes me think about the great resignation and WFH movement. I think lots of people truly were asleep to how bad their job and consequently life had become due to working with all the negative corporate aspects of America. This is a succinct way to describe the trend.

I wonder if we will see drops in pharmaceutical and alcohol sales in the coming years.
I went to law school and am currently a biglaw first-year. Trying to switch back to dev though (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29690759)

Basic reasons for switch: 1) self-taught dev, so felt like I was always playing from behind; 2) wanted to pursue interests I had before going into tech; 3) felt like I wasn't productive in college, and thus wanted to have an intellectual experience.

I didn't think at all during law school that I would go back to being a dev (exiting to in-house counsel role in tech was always a possibility). However, working full-time in law has made it clear this is a huge misfit for me culturally, and also the work of being a lawyer mostly involves a bunch of low-skilled bullshit. I thought that I was leaving a more superficial industry to go into something with more intellectual depth and thoughtfulness, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Happy to elaborate if anyone wants; previous times I have mentioned this on HN, people really wanted to know more, but I was unable to answer them in time, unfortunately.

There are myriad reasons that mileage could decrease. I haven’t experienced this recently, but I have had random decreases in mileage before.

Someone else in this thread mentioned having the gas tested and that could be possible but i would consider it unlikely.

If you’ve checked spark and air filters, my next questions would be transmission and tires. Are your tires at the proper air pressure? Is your transmission slipping at all? Are your plugs fouled at all?

I’m all for rebuttals of just-so stories but that comment is wholly unconvincing.

He just says “actually it didn’t happen” in 5 different ways.

But, like, they speak Spanish in Lima and Mexico City and they don’t speak Aztec or Quechua in Madrid. The Europeans did in fact colonize portions of the entire world. There were German armies in Namibia and Dutch in Malaysia and Spanish in Patagonia.

That seems... notable?

I literally have no unique insight at all into why that happened. But it does seem like an interesting question.

I guess the answer could be “no reason” or “it was the result of a non-determinative complex adaptive system and the concept of why isn’t really relevant or repeatable” which are fine responses. But that comment you posted seems to just be refusing to engage with the question.
Imagine you are visiting hacker news, and for some reason you have to prove your age, but you don't want HN to know who you are, nor your age identity site to know you're going to HN

One way to do this off the top mf my head would be

HN issues a unique number (say 4096 bit) to you when you create an account

You send that number to your identity provider along with confirming proof of age

The identity provider signs that the number is valid and posts it to a public source

HN downloads a list of 4096 bit numbers posted in the last 5 minutes and confirms the one associated with your account is on the list

HN will know that "Identities-r-us.com" has proven your age, but nothing else

IRU know you had to age approve a site, but there are many sites downloading the lists so they don't know which one
Late career switch to fine leather bookbinding. Love it. I’ve always been interested in crafts, and they offer an immediacy and a tangibility that’s lacking in technology, especially in the cloud. Also, it’s a community that thinks in terms of decades or centuries instead of weeks or months, which is refreshing after riding the JavaScript rollercoaster for the last few years.

I’m currently apprenticing with a master binder who’s nearby.
~ is not ->

ptr->field in C is (*ptr).field, at which point you are in whatever C's equivalent of a "place (lvalue) expression" is. This creates a weird discontinuity where you -> for the first step and then use `.` for subsequent steps and then do the standard "just kidding, it was a pointer offset all along" thing of slapping `&` in front of it.

My proposed ~ always keeps you indirected so you just use ~ all the way until you actually want to load a value from memory (which in C would implicitly happen whenever you have a nested ->).

I was given a fresh copy of Windows at work the other week and had to install all tooling afresh. I decided to take the opportunity to try meld.

The first merge I did, even after reading the website, I couldn't fathom it. I understood the paradigm of merging into $BASE but couldn't figure out how to simply take these 5 lines from $REMOTE and these 3 from $LOCAL, so went back to the trusty Beyond Compare.

Might give it another shot.
I haven’t actually shipped anything but I’m working on a couple blockchain related artworks, and I occasionally talk to other artists who are active in the art part of the NFT world, as opposed to the “financial instrument dressed as a monkey” part.

Two things seem to be an emerging, er, consensus:

1. Having the blockchain part (the NFT for instance) actually have some real relationship to the art is much more interesting than just having pointers to artworks that are fine without it.

2. The exciting thing is that people can go and do what they like with the NFTs (etc) without your permission. This applies to non-art too I think: nothing is stopping you from making Mutant Ape Yacht Mashup.

So, I contend that “decentralized user interaction with artworks via a system the artist doesn’t control” is a use for blockchain, though I admit it’s a pretty fringe one.
I've been using Kubuntu for a few years. There are no snaps, and not too many opinions, everything is option. I only use LTS to avoid breakage. I also avoid Neon to avoid said breakage and the packages are too exotic for my need. Kubuntu LTS is good on its own. Good luck on your journey.
If you're talking about Tether/USDT (which is a massive fraud by all appearances), that isn't an exchange.

Decentralized exchanges can't just mint more tokens, unless they deployed the token for that contract with an allowance for them to mint it.

AKA, the largest decentralized exchange, Uniswap, does have a Uniswap token. But they can't just mint it whenever/however they want, the contract (which anyone can audit) doesn't allow it
Looks like you can adjust that:

Are you talking about the air pollution from idling? It's elitist because it's minor, and not the sort of thing that citizens would naturally try to prosecute each other for.

Should citizens police each other for eating beef? Driving older cars? Not passing smog tests? Not supporting nuclear power? Cooking with natural gas? Flying on planes?

It's not the kind of society I want to live in. It's not the kind of relationship I want to have with my neighbors. They're the kind of situations that call for carrots more than sticks, and certainly not secret police.

Edit: looks like the idling law was primarily sponsored by a city councilmember back in 2015: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/council-member-wants-to...

It wasn't like a bunch of citizens got together to tackle air pollution, and somehow came up with that as the most sensible solution (vs, say, emissions standards or the autostop/autostart systems in newer cars, or better transit and biking). It was just some bureaucrat trying to score cheap political points by having citizens snitch on delivery drivers and such who are already underpaid and just trying to get by and do their jobs. Did this measurably improve air pollution in NYC? No, it just gave rise to a cottage industry of the equivalent of ambulance chasers.

It’s not clear that the things you mentioned are bad unless you read them with a certain bias. For example, punishment for adultery was a long staple of many groups throughout history and still today. And honestly I don’t see how this is a bad idea if implemented correctly. Perhaps by narrowing your view of acceptable values you’ve blocked out the diversity of human experience.
> It doesn’t happen by luck or happenstance. It takes highly skilled management in addition to market timing.

Market timing is just a euphemism for luck.

> Luck isn’t what makes people successful. Hard working people put themselves out there and increase the opportunities for lucky events, but without the hard work and effort the luck wouldn’t be able to happen.

Bullshit. Hard work without luck is often just hard work.

> Looking at successful people and pointing out some advantage they have is just a coping mechanism. Assuming you don’t have some disability, no one is stopping you from succeeding except yourself.

This just sounds like self-help seminar platitudes. I'm recognizing Bezos had advantages lots of other people did not have. He's was a well off white male with connections in the US. He would be notable if he didn't have some manner of success.

Discounting the luck of circumstances is foolish. Idolize Bezos for his business acumen but there's no need to white knight for him if someone points out he started off on second base when you're claiming he hit a home run.

Future Farmers of America[0] is common as a high school program especially in agriculture heavy areas in the US. My particular chapter focused on horticulture, dairy farm, and leadership structure. This involved hands on, on location apprenticeships with large animal veterinarians, various crop farms, etc.

When you are older and out of high school it’s sort of like a Linked In/resource.

Show HN: Hear what you see: Neural net to convert video to audio
WYSIWHY is a neural network that transforms an input video into an audio sequence in real time. It does so by compressing each image using an autoencoder and interpreting the resulting code as a frequency range.

This could potentially be useful for the visually impaired, helping with indoor navigation. It could also be used to transform an infrared or ultraviolet video to sound and thus enable one to perceive otherwise invisible colors.

In a usual autoencoder, the elements of the code vector are independent of each other. This makes subtle differences between adjacent elements of the code vector hard to perceive for humans. The resulting audio sequence would sound like indistinguishable white noise. For WYSIWYH thus an encoder is used which hierarchically structures the code, meaning that large differences in the input image result in large differences in the output code. This also results in adjacent elements of the code vector being correlated. This makes the autoencoder’s code more friendly to human perception.
I find it somewhat hilarious that a site "reclaim the net – Push back against online censorship, cancel culture, and privacy invasion. Informed by principles on digital rights" wants me to give them my email for their newsletter on my very first visit. Before showing me the article, or anything.

Yes, I would like to reclaim the net. From sites such as that one.
"like a cave man" → I advocate for cherry-picking what's really useful in our modern societies: internet, a laptop, runnable water, electricity, and saving energy and resources for all the rest because we're reaching our limits on this planet. But that's hard to pass this message without making people feel "guilty" (which again is not my point at all)
Really all across California, there seems to be this huge battle between the status-quo and the demand for change.

On the one hand you have the obvious demand for change. Housing if far too expensive, far too difficult to build and thus costs and astronomical amount which skews the economics of home building to the higher end of the market.

The top wants this change. The citizens want this change (for the most part). The solutions penetrate down levels of government until they are stopped dead at the lowest level. The bureaucracy at a certain level realizes they are on the chopping block and halts progress on change. They push back, their unions push back, the works.

So what you end up with is a bloated government agency, bloated for the sake of being bloated, making life miserable for the majority of residents, all of the sake of keeping itself in it's current bloated state.

The only thing that i see fixing the mess in California is if the guys at the top eliminate these many of these agencies. But they won't, because these agencies workers have unions, lobbies, the works. So the system will likely stay. Politicians will stay in the good graces of bloated government agencies which will only become more bloated and oh...the citizens? Who cares them.
Yes! There are text filters but those are kind of a static setting, found somewhere in the Preferences menu. When I wrote my comment I had in mind some user input that could be more interactive for one off, line based filtering. Although you are right, the already existing filter settings can be used for what I said, if one already has a regex that works fine for the current text being compared.
