I am trying actively to understand experiences like these to be part of a better workplace culture/experience. What I often find difficult is how to approach these subjects from a position of genuine interest without putting people off. Without being insensitive.

I know there is no "cookbook" of talking to other people. But sometimes I wish to me it were more easy to share and learn.
To go against the other comments here, I couldn't get used to it (building new muscle memory - let alone switching). Years ago I bought an ErgoDox. One of the main things I underestimated is that it has an ortholinear layout: the keys are straight above each other instead of being staggered like on a traditional keyboard.

I went from typing 110WPM to 30WPM. After a week of practice I was at 50WPM. Two weeks in and I was at 60WPM. Most importantly, typing was now an activity that required thought, instead of simply flowing. At this point I was sufficiently frustrated and felt slowed down enough I stopped and went back to a traditional keyboard.

I'm sure that with enough time I would reach my original speed and effort. But I have spent more than a decade building this muscle memory, and I didn't feel it was worth it to spend another decade building muscle memory on non-commodity hardware.

Nowadays I'm on 130WPM, so any barrier to switch is even higher. I do understand that my experience is very atypical since I am (supposedly) in the top 0.1% percentile of typing speeds.

At least we can count on you to show up and defend Russia in each and every thread about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine is far from perfect, but Russia is a full-blown terrorist-state.

Do you even recognize that Russia has invaded Ukraine? Are all the videos and pictures of bombed residential buildings fake/CGI? Done by Ukraine to gain sympathy?
Show HN: I'm writing an MMORPG game for learning programming
Hi, I've been developing an HTML5 MMORPG game where people can submit code to play a game, like collect items, destroy defense towers or kill monsters, etc.. I've been working on this for over 1.5 yrs (all my spare time) and now it's ready for preview, does anyone want to try it out? It's mostly opensource (and the rest will be opensource sooner or later)

Please access it with PC, it's an HTML5 game: https://bytelegend.com/

I really want it to expand to more languages, but right now I've only finished Java part. I wonder if anyone can help me with other languages. Besides, I'm not a good game story designer, but I really really want it to be a game with a fantastic story. Any help will be appreciated.
I have €4586 left. I can't trust myself anymore
IMVHO the resignation have other reasons: people start to realize that in modern times we do not work to live but the contrary and since life it's limited in space and time that's not good at all.

In the past we even work more, BUT such hard work was compensated by significant economical results hyperinflation and modern neoliberal economy have erased today. Or to apply the Occam razor: in the past you can get rich working hard, now the "global" target is owning nothing and being happy (with an smiling "stupid" [1] face) witch is far from being an interesting target.

Understanding that resources are limited and big growth is not sustainable the only answer is trying to reach stability, owning enough to be happy in their own homes, with the maximum possible autonomy, fighting people who do their best to avoid leaving peoples autonomy. As a result peoples tend to looks around, who can try to follow "agro-dreams in modern age" while others simply "sleep" as much as they can, having no stimulus, feeling no possibility for a better future so "better live today, tomorrow I'll be dead anyway" and also others try entrepreneurship but struggle in the present time where there is no room for real innovation and small businesses.

The toxic culture is not much "inside" companies but in the neoliberal society, to erase it we need to erase neoliberal thinking witch is actually responsible for the biggest world wars, suffering and deaths respect of all others regimes of the past...

[1] I do not know a "correct" term in English, "stupid" here is in the sense of the ancient Greek's concept of the "useful idiot".

DIY: Building an Air Raid Siren (2012)
By forcing you to think about your code's interface before thinking about its implementation. That means you get larger components that fit together based on the problem requirements, rather than components with interfaces that are only locally optimal.

You can see this same thing in action when watching functional programming live coding sessions: most live coding is bottom-up, but they still write the function signatures before writing any code.
> The M-code is transmitted in the same L1 and L2 frequencies already in use

Let's quote the whole thing, shall we?

The M-code is transmitted in the same L1 and L2 frequencies already in use by the previous military code, the P(Y) code. The new signal is shaped to place most of its energy at the edges (away from the existing P(Y) and C/A carriers).
How about this then? The sanctions are implemented by a wide ranging alliance of democratically elected governments, meaning they have a mandate behind them and legitimacy. These malware efforts are vigilantism.
I don't think fetching arbitrary code over url's is somehow better than npm.
I think the biggest misconception about mechanical keyboards is that they exist to give a specific experience (clicky/loud keys).

Mechanical keyboards are all about choice, some people like to stab keys and want the super duper heavy-duty springs to resist their stabs (bottoming out, which is the biggest source of clacks, is usually seen as a bad habit) while others want their keys to be like typing on air. And yes, some are all about making it as noisy as possible because that's an option.

I personally have settled with Boba U4s, probably the most silent switches I've ever had, even more than a lot of non-mechanical keyboards, though the noise is but a small part of why I like them so much. They are on a split keyboard with many less keys than you'd find, which helps me have a comfortable hand arrangement and as little hand travel as possible. Anything else just feels uncomfortable and unnecessary nowadays.
Well, games have a leg up on the competition in this regard - games tend to have some update logic which is called 60 times per second.

If you can restrict the code that runs between frames, you can just replace the logic everywhere between the frames, and not have to worry about what code the threads are executing at this time - since game logic is not running.
> I love typing on both of my old Mac wired keyboard as well as my mechanical with inch-high keys.

I find that hard to believe, if what you like is meaningful feedback. I'm in the same camp as the parent, in that I don't like mech keyboards (MS Sculpt for life), but the old apple non-chiclet keys were so mushy to me. I would always prefer to re-map a commodity dell keyboard with similar looking keys but more satisfying click.
Obligatory XKCD [1].

Does anyone else find it fascinating how quickly things get complicated? As the article mentions, the three body problem is the classic example. For two bodies it's easy. Add just one more and there's now no general solution and you get a bunch of edge cases like Lagrange points.

I too thought I understood the general principle of Lagrange points (including stability) but then JWST comes along and starts orbiting Earth's L2.

These Benchmarks are all rather useless because they lack the necessary details on methodology and context. For example Shadow of the Tomb raider may very well CPU Bottlenecked with that 3090 give it only runs a 10900 (non-k?) and who knows how the port for the M1 Ultra is done? Is it running x86 Emulation and something like DXVK or is it a truly native port?

Note that it is actually possible to eliminate this interrupt as well. The PIO and DMA could push pixels out automatically without any CPU intervention. However, I am not doing it here, because precise Vsync interrupts are quite useful. I could switch framebuffers here without any tearing effects. This is also critical to implement FRC for greyscales.

I hope one day, 1-2-3 years from now, you realize what really happened in Ukraine - and that you will be ashamed of what you wrote.
It doesn't. It signals a particular point in time to improve the design.

Good design is a creative activity and cannot really be forced, only given space to grow.
It very much depends upon what "deep space" means to you:

* escape from the solar system altogether? That requires a big change in velocity, about half as much again as what it took to get to its current orbit.

* chuck it into the sun? needs more change than escaping the solar system

* or just a different orbit to the current one with less chance of being inconvenient? then you may as well leave it where it is - there are already a bunch of Earth Trojan asteroids around the Lagrange points which pose a similar likelihood of becoming inconvenient and being much bigger pose a greater hazard.
I know what you mean.. but apparently you can buy one! I haven't, so I can't verify it.

And there seem to be training manuals etc.
I’ve seen this service mentioned here or on reddit (can’t remember which) that does goggle apps backups: https://www.cubebackup.com
not sure they do individual accounts, and I haven’t tried using that service yet although planning to test it. anyone else has?
I am still greatly disappointed by the insistence on end-to-end black-box models.

In the end, as impressive as these results are, they are fundamentally trending in the wrong direction. All the benefits and certainty (e.g. security, correctness, and reproducibility) provided by theorem provers and model-driven systems are thrown out the window in favour of fast but potentially wrong or insecure results.

The worst part of this development is the psychological aspect - humans have a tendency to rely on machine generated results and view those as superior. The disconnect between working code and correct or secure code respectively is going to widen using this approach.

A glaring example is found in the blog post: the image manipulation example (7.) contains an error that the author failed to even recognise or mention. Instead of turning the uploaded image into a mosaic as intended, the generated code simply creates a fixed-size black-and-white checker-board pattern. This is clearly neither a mosaic nor image manipulation.

It is a very impressive tech demo, but generating actual software that can be trusted and rigorously checked against requirements will end up using a formal description (i.e. programming language, theorems, or modelling akin to UML) anyway.
That sound you heard was me rolling my eyes at the bunch of nonsense they started off with, which seemed sucked straight from the mouth of a plastics industry PR lackey. The squeeze nipple thingy is pretty brilliant, but an ecological disaster.
I've gone from using WordPress to static sites and back again because I missed having all the features that WP offered. Even Ghost is simpler but still nicer than any static site I've created.
i rarely find myself in a situation where my typing speed on a regular layout is the limiting factor for input speed. When coding I don't type a lot and i'd likely get the same input speed on any reasonable layout after a while and when typing normal text i'm much more bound by how fast i can think about what i want to write. The only time i feel limited is when trying to transcribe while someone is talking but that's also a solved case since Shorthand and special typing equipment for that exists. I doubt you can type on any ascii based layout as fast as someone can on a shorthand typing system with equal training when it comes to natural language transcription.
The main packaging issue is the single-use target. In the past we have had a concept and an industry about recycling packages in various ways but to "simply" and "make things more efficient so profitable" we decide that a single-use solution is better.

That's was true in an age of raw material abundance where a light and disposable package means less transportation cost, simple infrastructures, less distributed human labor requirements etc. You can pack milk in a factory and directly ship it to stores where the only need is putting them on some supermarket shelf. In the past there is a need for glass bottles who are fragile and heavyweight, they need to be cleaned up, there is an industry to wash/recycle them, many stages in line etc...

The result of modern food packaging is that we are able to concentrate stuff, few big factories in exotic places, more products on shelves, cheaper product. However now we start seeing that such efficient move is not sustainable... I bet in the future we will came back somewhat, and such move will hurt MUCH...
Well that explains!

The absolute worst case for open sourcing ("abandoning") a project is showing everyone else what you did and what results you reached or didn't, meaning everyone can avoid doing the same thing again, which is still a positive. All other scenarios are even better.
This is not correct. The stock’s future price is represented by its current price. Options are contracts that give you the _option_ to buy or sell a stock at a certain price on (or before, if American-style) a certain date.

Options are priced low relative to the actual stock price, but they move proportionately to the price, hence they have higher leverage.
I have that issue. I use the caps key as my "wm key" on i3, and I press it all the time on other computers when I want to change apps, etc.

But somehow, the different layout of an ergonomic keyboard doesn't bother me. I can go back and forth between my MS sculpt and a laptop with absolutely no issues aside from the position of home/end which aren't in the same order.
In the restricted three-body problem, where two massive bodies orbit each other in a circle, the Lagrange points are literally points - anywhere but the five exact 3d coordinates and there is a net acceleration away from your location.

Not sure if that's what you mean, but if you're happy to assume that the massive bodies (e.g. Earth and Sun) are spherical, then you can exactly replace them with point masses, without approximation, so there's no multiplicity in Lagrange points coming from that.

Of course, orbits are not circular, and there are external forces too - other planets' gravity, (tiny) orbital drag, solar wind pressure etc. so in practice it's all a bit different anyway.

As Jason mentions, the most important contribution here is to make the code more readable and improve documentation.

But there are also some fairly unambiguous improvements - switching from SHA1 to BLAKE2 for extracting the random bytes for example.
It likely very much depends on which reviewers you get, for eg Google Zero folks are probably good at code review. I think crev probably handles that through trust scores for reviewers.
> Transportation costs and breakage are perhaps higher, but maybe that’s a cost we should accept?

I suspect that transportation and breakage costs are higher only because we don't account for externalities when considering plastic: in other words producers don't sustain the full costs and are effectively subsidized by the society at large and the environment (through increased healthcare spending, lower QOL, higher obesity rates, lower fertility, and other environmental costs that will be sustained by future generations).
What do you mean with unmaintained Chrome?
I first assumed it was a PDF and when I got to the video thought "Wait, browsers do video-in-pdf now?"
Same here, although I go through phases of high and low activity. When I was learning to code I would write daily blog posts about problems I ran into and how I fixed them. At first I was unsure, since I thought these things were just too basic for people to care about. But writing also helped me process and internalize the things I learned, so I did it anyway. I got so many nice emails and comments over the years from people who found some random tip I posted helpful for their own projects.

Also, we forget that these new "techs" come every year and its boring to track each of these. Companies are using this as advantage.
The answer: "Bridgetown is optimized for web developer happiness." :D

Like the goal of Hugo: "With its amazing speed and flexibility, Hugo makes building websites fun again." (It didn't, I couldn't get past the fact that the docs were hard to understand.)

I think tools need to focus on clear description of feature sets and leave the decision on what emotions to have to users.

You can have the numpad on the left, but I rarely saw keyboards like that. I saw some odd "left-handed" rubber dome keyboards, but that's it. You can also have a distinct numpad and put it anywhere.
The L2 orbit is just an orbit around Earth but pretty far way; you can be anywhere along that orbit. :)

I've not been in the loop, what was this?
I find the height of mechanical keyboards too high (ie they are much thicker than apple keyboards) and it causes strain on my shoulders.

I am much more relaxed typing on a thin keyboard like the Apple ones.
Interesting to see how deep learning is applied to search using learned vector representations of documents (podcasts) and user queries.
wow, that's a weird limitation.

The README says: "SSR is currently disabled for the Next.js app as the app will be fully client-side rendered for iOS and Android. This is a limitation we are working to address in a future update."

I guess it's because CapacitorJS pre-bundles the entire PWA for the App Stores:

"Of course, you also could load the app completely remotely by changing the server.url configuration for Capacitor to point to your SSR'ed Next.js app, but that has other challenges such as App Store approval if the app doesn't check the boxes for Apple to qualify it as an app that has enough native integration (at that point this is on you, not Capacitor)"

https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st...

But I don't understand why SSR would be disabled for the NextJS PWA on the web?

Maybe the creator Max Lynch aka. @mlynch aka. @yesimahuman could provide some insight here.
Well Lagrange was the OG of differential equations. A lagrange point is basically an area where the vector field of the DE is 0.

That's not super surprising. The 3090 is a beast. The fact that they've gotten into a similar ballpark to maybe the 3070 based on those numbers with a SoC is pretty impressive, though.

That said, am I the only one getting annoyed with shallow comparisons of the M1 products? Or is SEO BS hiding the good stuff? It seems like the rule most sites are following is 50% or more of your benchmark graphs should be Geekbench which is quite eye-roll inducing when you've been spoiled by comprehensive benchmarks in the PC market for decades.
These malware efforts are not too different from western companies voluntarily pulling out of Russia, they’re also engaging in their own kind of “vigilantism”.

The question is whether or not this kind of “vigilantism” is bad. It’s not obvious to me that it’s any worse than McDonalds or LVMH shutting down their stores in Russia.

There’s no doubt sanctions have wider backing, but that’s hardly a moral argument. The legal side is indisputable and pointless to debate.
> Could AI generated code mean the death of coding?

A rose by any other name...

"Coding" is the formalisation of ideas, algorithms, requirements, and constrains. This task is and will continue to be challenging. Whether you use "prompt engineering" or a formalised language doesn't matter all that much.

I'd be more interested to see whether such black-box model can solve programming problems like returning the best (by some criteria) N items from a read-only medium using a limited amount of resources (e.g. x amount of RAM and t milliseconds).

Given the immense amount of training data it's hard to distinguish a clever search method with some mixing and matching (i.e. copy-paste-programming) from general problem solving abilities.
Does dpkg support merged-/usr-via-aliased-dirs?
From page:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_Does_dpkg_support_merged-.2Fusr-via-aliased-dirs.3F
If you have a system that has been installed recently (since Debian buster) or switched via the usrmerge hack, you might want to consider using the dpkg-fsys-usrunmess program (but beware that it should not be used in systemd's emergency mode) or reinstalling. For further information see Teams/Dpkg/MergedUsr(https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/MergedUsr).

So every recent Debian installation is broken?
If so, why no one talks about it?
yeah, same here. After trying a dozen of these "simple" static hosting tools, I always go back to Wordpress , and recently, Ghost.

The problem with static tools os, they are only simple if you write 5-6 blogs (in total). Once you start writing more often, the lack of a good editor, styling becomes painful.

You can bash Wordpress all you want, its still the best way if you just want to focus on content without jumping thru a lot of hoops.
