If I'm stressed from overwork and you have skepticism about claims of hours worked that is insulting because you are either claiming I'm a liar or claiming I shouldn't be stressed. The reason why telling a stressed person that they shouldn't be stressed is insulting should be self-evident.
Code by Petzold is 100% my choice as well. It is an incredibly good book to describe not just code but computing and ultimately computing machines. I would give my 18 year old self Code and it would've done a very good job of piecing all the college courses that I would end up taking.
The EU army would be a layer of bureaucracy less, not more. So far the plans have not gone anywhere because national governments have been unwilling to give up final authority over their armies ("No German will command a Frenchman into battle!"). This has been partly due to historical mistrust, partly due to political considerations and partly due to a lack of urgency. This means that setting up any military activity in EU context (such as Operation Atalanta for example) requires going through all the individual national governments and asking for troops.

A true EU-wide army would be a standing organization with pre-approved funding and means that could move much quicker than the current system. Investing in armed forces is also important, but adding up the funding of the individual member states already brings you quite far compared to basically any country except the US and China.

Well it's still McDonald's we're talking about, it's still going to be 3mm thick patties and very sweet sauce. But with less soy derivatives, non caloric sweeteners and corn instead of wheat I have the impression.
> what would a competitor need to defy Google

Google is hiding important information on purpose... so don't do that.
I wonder if this thing will ever fly, and if it will, will it fly in less than 2 decades after the comparable US effort has entered service.
I'm actually surprised Google would say this is from the DPRK government without also saying it had has been verified by US federal government authorities. Usually they leave it for others to deal with statements at that level.
“Seeing like a state” taught me what high modernism is and it’s pitfalls (since I - and I imagine many readers of HN - are already familiar with its strengths and achievements e.g. modern medicine).

Poor Economics is a book in a similar vein that talks about how policies that sound like they would be effective can backfire.

(I am a software engineer and found both of these books approachable and interesting.)

I’ve only taught a handful of people to build software, but what I’ve seen is there is a world of difference between writing words and dragging encased blobs around.

One person in particular has a real knack for breaking problems apart and understanding them. He could explain things really well that demonstrated understanding, but converting that understanding into the syntax the compiler would accept was an enormous barrier. He overcame it with time and practice and that was so exciting to see for them.

Could they have learned faster or differently with something like blockly? I don’t know. I’d like to think so.

You are right, you look past the coloured blobs you are doing the same thing, but for some people at least the syntax and keywords can be an enormous barrier. I suspect even more so for not-so-frequent developers
Unfortunately, Apple uses Thunderbolt, and they're the only ones who do 5k/6k. We absolutely have the bandwidth for 5k120 over DisplayPort, but Apple insists on sticking to Thunderbolt.
Did you read the first article?

That broomstick example gets paraded around a lot, but this was on a vehicle, that wasn't supposed to have a gun in the first place.

There is a lot of valid criticism on the readiness of Germany's armed forces, this isn't one.
That's a beautiful question. I am not intimately familiar with Singapore's planning processes. The authors above (Jane Jacobs, James C. Scott) would argue that the best cities/countries are ones that have a centralized strategy that leaves enough leeway to enable each community to optimize their specific situation on their own.

I don't know if Singapore does that or not. Do you have a POV?

I've been meaning to read Lee Kuan Yew's "From Third World to First" to learn more but haven't found the time.
Thanks for the input. A nit, sorry, but maybe relevant to readers learning a little about anti-phishing: homophones sound the same ('-phone' refers to sound, like telephone) but differ in meaning, such as 'write' and 'right'. I don't know the term for ycombinator.com / ycornbinator.com, which is a real problem, of course.
The most wild thing, to me, is how effectively it has been taken over by scam artists. The other day I tuned into a 'startup pitch' show where the premise is you pitch your company idea to an 'investor'. Unfortunately in practice the investor applauds your idea, and then claims he will 'invest' engineering time worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he needs you to 'prove you are serious' by investing tens of thousands of dollars of your own money.

I'm sure after putting up the cash you are handed some janky app worth nothing close to what you paid, much less his supposed investment. While maybe not being illegal, it was incredibly predatory. The 'entrepreneurs' weren't being asked the most basic questions about their business, and were clearly not financially in a place to invest the money he was demanding. Rather than helping them achieve an entrepreneurial dream, he is sucking up the limited money they have (perhaps even inviting them to take on debt) without any real hope of success.

It seems like every channel on Clubhouse is some version of exploitation, whether it's about crypto, your love life, or your money. I don't know how I would moderate that away if I was them, but it seems like the time to do it was several months ago, and now might be too late.
Neither of these things are true.

While I've never seen it defined this way, I think the distinction comes down to this:

An engine deals with assets in depth, and exposes runtime abstractions to them.

A framework does what is necessary to expose I/O and load the assets, but aims to be minimally opinionated about how they integrate into the application.

For example, in an engine you might have abstractions for applying collision, physics, and rendering techniques onto an image asset, so that you can achieve a useful result just by configuring the data correctly. A framework would give you a way to load the image and display it, but leave it to you to add more detailed behaviors by writing new code.

In effect, engines are never totally done until you have a feature-complete application. Often it works out that you need a scripting layer to define a certain kind of asset(e.g. dialogue tree logic), and then what you have is an engine extension; if the asset is defined independently of the scripting system, it can be made portable to another engine.
"After the war, U.S. intelligence officers scoured Germany for useful scientific and technical information. Four hundred experts sifted through billions of pages of documents and shipped 3.5 million microfilmed pages back to the United States, along with almost 200 tonnes of German industrial equipment."

Permits are the highest they've been in the past 5 years. This is almost certainly supply chain and labor effects and we will feel them for years to come. Here's a link to the Census Building Permits survey: https://www.census.gov/construction/bps/

You can read a brief info graphic here: https://www.census.gov/construction/nrc/pdf/newresconst.pdf

Note that "starts" of new buildings is close to permits, but completions are flat. There either isn't enough materials to finish these projects or there's a labor shortage to complete these projects.

edit: not agreeing with your supply and demand argument tho there's lots of reasons people can't build in certain areas (where people want to live), but house prices are going up across the board, there really is an effort by the owner class to buy everything up and flip it to rental.
Amplifying Others
Ok, that looks like a nice tool. Thanks!
Thanks. To zeroeth order I understand it as "the power of inaction", but clearly the connotations are supposed to be much more positive than in my earlier usage.

Whether what I'm describing is nihilism I'm not sure, but it might be. ("No True Nihilist"?)

Certainly what it is is passive.

It seems easy for renunciation to go bad, to become a degenerate, contemptuous, and self-indulgent thing.

Maybe the idea from Hinduism (as I understand it, and translate coarsely) is better: Always put yourself out there, and do care about your execution, but don't be attached to the results. That might be a better way to avoid suffering without encouraging depressive (passive, inactive) behaviors?

The conservative would struggle with: How does one "go with the flow", if the flow goes over the falls? How does one go with the flow and with Nature, if, in the short term (where we have to live), the flow seems to be against Nature?

And how do you deal with all the nasty game-theoretics of it while keeping your decency? Do you really just keep turning the other cheek, or do you need some proportionate response strategy from Repeated Games?

I'm really not sure.

I think part of the answer has to be wanting less, materially. Maybe that's a thing that a couple can do, together, because they get something more valuable in return, e.g. a family.

But I'm just thinking aloud.

I think this is why I like Ecclesiastes so much. "You're not alone: This guy in the Bronze Age had the same struggle, and wrote it all down, honestly." (He didn't reach all the conclusions that the Buddhists did, of course.)

shrug

I should go do something useful.
Maybe EU should keep some weapons for itself, instead of exporting everything:

What do you conclude? We shouldn't care or do anything? The Internet, the medium, seems to greatly increase the volume of scams and from everyone, not just countries.
I think it's more than that. Surely having a money printing machine like steam makes it easier to ignore stuff like this, but you also have to remember that Counter Strike was a fan-made mod in the beginning and now it's one of the most played games on the planet and Valve produces it itself now. There's got to be a baked in appreciation for how letting fans do these sorts of things can directly boost their profits.
Thank you for being curious about what we're building!

- Our nonprofit-focused model is based on early research with users who saw greater value in giving to nonprofits than collecting payments for themselves. We partner with Getchange.io to ensure transparency and accountability in payments to nonprofits.

I also gave up on Linux. I ran Ubuntu 20.04 for about 6-8 months for work and play. I got tired of having to find workarounds for software.

I bought a Mac M1 mini late last year and shit just works. I don't regret the purchase a single bit. Would I prefer to be on Linux? Definitely.

Hopefully, software bundling tech like Flatpack and Snap will make the distribution and stability of software a lot better in the future.

Still false equivalence.

The Russian harm to innocents is orders of magnitudes higher than the US harm to innocents. It actually appears to be a core strategy in Ukraine, Chetchnia, and Afghanistan. They are firing artillery at civilian dwellings, cutting off food/fuel supply lines, and firing at refugee lines that aim for Poland rather than Russia.

The US has a bad name from drone strikes, but those are done intentionally to minimize harm to innocents and Are avoided when the harm is too high compared to the target. There are very few cases of the US military intentionally firing on civilians.

you are talking to the wrong person if you think I have a God/righteousness complex about my country/government. I am heavily critical of my own.

But Russia’s invasion is as idiotic as most of the worst Trump/QAnon conspiracy theories.
I made a web site that catalogues how various companies/projects use code search:

The Google one in particular has a great breakdown of how they use code search by use case (examples, exploration, etc.).

And here are a bunch of known code search tools: https://codesearchguide.org/tools

It depends on what your needs are for a monitor. If you are used to 5K 2xRetina then 4K will be a little off. I am currently using a 27” 4K display scaled to 1440p. It is not quite as sharp as a true 5K display but it works well enough. Until recently the only 5K monitor was a pretty weak LG. The new Apple Studio display does finally bring out a desirable monitor but I’m not ready to spend that much for a personal display.

Stay away from an old 2K 1440p at this point. Since Apple removed the old sub pixel rendering, those 1440p panels look too soft anymore. The 4K scaled 1440p looks much sharper than those.
For the record, the 'Feels Like' temp usually takes wind speed into account. It's probably not necessary for the dev to include that factor manually.

For me it showed 79F and sunny as 'pants weather' (my Feels Like temp is 87F), I'm not sure I fully endorse this algorithm.
That's interesting. I didn't appreciate how much of this weather:attire relationship is cultural. You do still at least wear long-sleeve shirts at that temp right?

I come from a more continental-climate-area in the US so I'm used to a range of temperatures from -15C to 35C. I just can't imagine wearing shorts under 15C unless I am exercising or indoors.
The top line metric that the financial markets care about for the major postpaid carriers is ARPU (average revenue per user). As soon as this number goes down, so does the company’s market cap. The C suite really cares about making sure this number continues to go up.
Yes. There was a period of several years when Google's results were better than Yahoo, but once the human search engines bankrupt, the algorithmic SEO just kept getting worse and worse =/ Too bad...
Not at all. A great UI fits in with the system it is deployed on, it is not a unique snowflake.

While I appreciate that it helps the blind community, the deaf community was really left out. I personally saw at least one complaint about this in a group that I'm in.
The key here is that the icons next to the entries robustly tied the menu entry to the icon in the toolbar: "this menu item does what the button with this icon does".

Getting rid of the icons in this case means you don't get a hint that this menu entry is an alias for that button (or vice versa).
Mint uses T-mobile as its underlying carrier.
How will WebAssembly save us?
> Kinda astounding how the firefox v1 was not great but ok, and it got overall worse in literally every redesign since then. v1 remains the best UI firefox has ever had to this day.

As someone who's been using it since the phoenix/firebird days, I disagree strongly. There have been hiccups along the way (particularly the tabs appearance in proton), but in general the UI has gotten significantly better with each redesign. Looking back at the v1-3 UI all I can see is how much vertical screen real estate is wasted on things I would very rarely click.

Certainly it cannot be the one that is widely portrayed in ALL Western mass media, because that reduces to common knowledge and not a measure of geographical knowledge. Long live Liechtenstein.
I tried running in -5C (23F) in my 4” running shorts this year! It’s fantastic. Put on some gloves and a hat, an extra layer on top, and you’re gold. After 5km you’re back to being a sweaty beast.

Biggest problem ended up being all the soaked through clothes when I stopped. Instant omgsocoldwtfamidoing. But while you’re moving it’s great, you can even run faster than normal because heat dissipation is one of the biggest limiting factors in workout performance.
Singapore does have the advantage of being compact and having the ability to set policy at all levels at once. The US can't do that, because cities and towns depend on the state and federal governments for funding, but those same cities and towns have some autonomy in how they run day-to-day governance.
Thanks! I started the mood tutorial and was a bit surprised by the YouTube video, but overall it seems good. I am not really the target group atm, either.
This is awesome! I was hoping someone would take WebGPU/Dawn and package it up in a form that is usable outside Chromium. Building it yourself is nontrivial.

Portable graphics has always been a big issue. Back in the day OpenGL was kinda sorta portable, but in practice that never worked out very well. Drivers were buggy, platforms came with different versions and different extensions, Windows didn't come with GL drivers by default, mobile had OpenGL ES which was different. And now Apple has deprecated OpenGL so the dream of portable graphics at the OS level is truly dead.

WebGL is the most portable graphics API that exists today, and it's actually possible to use it from native code if you want (using the ANGLE library) but I don't think anyone does, and that's understandable. WebGPU should be different. I think there are a lot of good reasons that native apps should consider using WebGPU.

This had great impact on me…and the quick read of Ptashne’s “a genetic switch” really pulled me into molecular biology. They helped me start to conceptualize how a group of inanimate objects (eg proteins, lipids, nucleic acid) can collectively be “alive”, including reproduce, and “make decisions”.
have you taken this to any FAANG companies? what about doing demos in asia for investors or chip companies?

i am in a similar boat as you. different tech/industry though.
Wow, easy and effective, well done!
> How is that so different from "the best ever" is beyond me.

"the best ever" implies it is the best.... ever. Inclusive of all competition. "the best firefox has ever had" limits the comparison to just firefox.

> What browser did you move to after you uninstalled Firefox because of the click in the URL thing?

I made my own ui skin for chromium. I'm not terribly happy about using chromium but I couldn't figure out how to use the firefox engine for it - another strategic mistake by the incompetent buffoons at Mozilla not making this easy, and of course doing the whole browser myself is a big job (heck, even the UI skin is a big job, there's a LOT of things still on my todo list, but it minimally works without driving me absolutely nuts which is more than I can say about Firefox's recent versions).

> To me it actually makes sense - I think most of the times when a user reaches the URL they want to put a new one, not to edit the existing one. This behavior makes that easier.

Most the time I want a new one, I'll open a new tab and thus have a blank url. If I'm clicking on an existing url, it is because I want to edit it.

But if I do want to replace it, the old double click behavior to select all made this utterly trivial too: single click to edit, double click to replace. Hell, they even used to have an about:config thing to make single click select all, but in their infinite wisdom, they removed even that hidden config option to turn it back off.

With the new behavior, editing a url becomes quite frustrating. The work around is to click, wait until the double click time period elapses, then click again. Don't do it too soon though, or it will do the completely useless "select word" thing instead. If you click a third time, it will now select all again! Fourth click? Back to select word. You must wait for a while before you can just click to edit.

Oh, and do you use middle click on X? That single click select all... does NOT assert the PRIMARY selection. But double and triple click do! So if you single click it, it looks selected... but it isn't. Double click out of old habit? Now it is wiped out. Ridiculous.

So this change marginally benefits some users (who probably don't really care) while being devastatingly crippling to the people who do. Maybe some utilitarian function can say +1 usability point times 10 million users outweighs -1000 usability points to 1000 users.

But I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. Mozilla is a niche product at this point, maybe they should start caring about the 1000 users they have left.
