Try to love yourself and enjoy some moments while they are there. Your expectations come to quite some part from the society trying to make you function. Don't let them get you down too much. Go outside on a sunny day, stop, look, close your eyes and like something you saw, or just the air you breathe. There are more people that have cheerful moments because you are there than you think right now.

My personal site, been around since the mid 90s. Lots of posts about programming, code golfing, math, etc.

For several years, I spent ~50h a month writing one (hopefully) high quality post. Haven’t been able to keep that commitment lately, so it’s more like a post a year at this point.
I am not being trite:

Thats the point! There is no single point except to exist and from that to try to exist peacefully with your fellow people.

You are right, we are here briefly. No different than a flower blooming for a time. Whats the point to blooming just to die? Thats the point.

As alan watts said... the journey itself is the point.
Having kids is the last straw that breaks your dreams. By that point you’ve committed to the parent lifestyle and your life as it has been is over. You now spend the rest of your days providing for your family and viewing everything through the lens of a parent.
This. Otherwise what would be the point of chiplets? (aside from being able to mix process nodes as appropriate / cost-effective).

Of course this is why what Cerebas is doing (and what the article is about) is stupid.

For those who are interested you can look up ‘wafer testing’.

Ask HN: Best Video editing tool library for web development?
I'm currently trying to find the best video editing tool for implementation and I've been lost with all the tools out there so I was wondering if anyone had first-hand experience on one and can recommend (specifically in react)

my use case is this:
A Regular media player (stop, play, speed, change resolution, w.e) with the abilities to:

* play specific parts of the video using JS
* highlight specific parts
* changing said highlighted parts
* not an iframe
* minimized display
* progress bar with mini-frame display
* (optional) adding overlays
Stage 3 does not always happen. There are a few remarkable counterexamples, but most research software does not usually finish taking the form a product.

In my experience, what happens is that some prototype works quite well and gets used in the next project. But the next project is building a new prototype, not improving the previous one. After a few projects, the person who wrote that first prototype already left the department, but there are people who depend on it to get results. If enough time passes, you will have some piece of legacy code that very few people can understand.

The problem with academia is that, while the prototype is an excellent topic for an article, the real product, a maintained (and maintainable) software project, is not. And getting funding in academia to do something of no academic interest (ie. that cannot be turned into a paper) is very difficult. If the software is of no interest to some industrial partner willing to spend money, that code will just keep moving between the USB drives of PhD students, probably branching into slightly different versions, until someone is brave enough to start working in a new prototype and the cycle starts again.

> What's the point of it?

Live for others.

You (and I) are incredibly fortunate. We have our basic needs taken care of. We have more than that. There are many, many, people in the world who have problems that you can help solve. That could be - spending time with a lonely elderly person, volunteering with the homeless, building a website for a charity that can't afford to pay for a great one, building a startup that solves a problem for people... teach someone a skill. It can be anything.

Live to help other people. They need you. If you don't get much out of it - don't worry, they will. So if you're not particularly bothered about what you do, go help them. The world is full of important problems and people that need help, there's a vast number of things to work on that will make a difference to other people.

Is it "normal" for Americans to not only not be able to speak a foreign language, but to not even know what the word "polyglot" means, and look at one like you would look at an alien (one from outer space, I mean, not one from another country)?
You seem to be operating under the assumption that the Fortran compiler will catch pointer aliasing. In fact major implementations of Fortran do not (for technical reasons).

So the standard just says "don't do it, LOL" but then you are able to write Fortran violating this. Which is how you end up with bugs that go away when you switch optimization levels.

> I've messed around with this same graphical language, though only on paper. As I understand it, the lambda/apply nodes are the two morphisms for reflexive objects[ https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/reflexive+object ]

That's a useful pointer. It's interesting that the nLab folks seem to specifically point out higher-order abstract syntax as the underlying intuition behind these 'lam' and 'app' morphisms. So if actual string diagrams exist for these, the same sort of graphical representation may well be applicable beyond the untyped lambda calculus itself, to any syntax that has some equivalent to "variables" that can be used for substitution as in beta-reduction. (Note that the graphical representation of a typed lambda calculus is fairly obvious and intuitive, but only because functions then get different types based on their arity, etc. and this is directly reflected in the visual syntax. Once you go untyped, it doesn't seem that this can be true.)
Maybe that's true.

It's certainly true that many parents spend 8 hours a day _not_ looking after their kids, but working on something. We have an enormous power of choice in what we work on, so choose something meaningful and your life will "not be over".

That's right and maybe in some way this new policy accidentally leads to good things, in that it may incentive sites that embed Twitter's content on their page, to simply bypass that.
I've written C# professionally for many years, though it's far from my favorite language. I write 90% of it in Emacs, reserving Visual Studio for managing .csproj and .sln files and unit testing with the Visual Studio test framework. Once my workplace switches over to .NET Core, I hope to be able to get rid of those uses. Actually writing C# in Emacs has been fine for years, with Omnisharp, and now with LSP is about on par with VSCode, except you have the rest of Emacs available at a keystroke.

I've tried Java with LSP, and I think it's on par with Eclipse rather than JetBrains these days. The language server is fine, but I've never gotten it to understand, e.g., an Android Studio project.
I know what you mean, I also took a double-take when I read that sentence. But when I read a bit further I decided it was just poor phrasing initially.
How does his ego effect anyone who doesn’t work for him? I read most of the announcement and he’s promising research papers and lecture/teaching materials. That’s good, no?

Wolfram’s over the top next level ego, to be sure. But he’s on the side of science and reason, so he’s our ego-maniac.
Yes, switched from AWS to Google to Azure. Don't switch to Azure unless your employer forces you, you will regret it. Google is great on a technical level though, especially if you do things with Kubernetes.

Switched from GCP to my own server hardware. After doing the math it came out that it would pay for itself in less than a year. Depending on individual usecase, cloud can be prohibitively expensive and running a server for a small business really isn't nearly as hard as they'd have you believe
Restrict is used where it matters.

Just because Fortran does the equivalent of implicitly using restrict everywhere does not mean the compiler actually statically checks for abuse. You can just as easily write bad pointer aliasing code in Fortran and depending on what optimization level you built with you may or may not experience memory corruption and/or segmentation fault at run time.

You are not prohibited from taking another job. Also, because developers really only do 4 hours of work a day on average and spend the rest of their time thinking, it is easy to multi task two jobs.
This doesn't have to be true, though it is for many.

If you can find a version of your dreams that pays the rent and puts food on the table, you can still chase them.

Your financial metabolism does go up though, and the total universe of options shrinks. Ramen profitable doesn't mean actual ramen when you've got a spouse and kids.

I found that I've gotten much further in pursuing my dreams after having kids than before. Maybe it's just coincidence, but I feel a lot of the skills I had to learn to be the kind of parent I wanted to be translated almost 1 for 1 to improving my business outcomes.
From OVH to AWS. 30% TCO reduction. This was before the fire.
It's true that the pace of change appears to have accelerated.

I grew up under the threat that the USSR would nuke the U.S. and 70's culture was beginning to wake up to problems of oil shortages (embargoes), over-population, pollution. I am not sure I perceived the world as a stable, predictable thing even then.

But the Boomers had the rug pulled out from under them when the Summer of Love rolled in and suddenly the gender roles and marriage contracts of their parents generation "Ozzie and Harriet" lifestyle were shattered. Women entered the workplace, the decline of the blue-collar living wage, automation...

And I suppose the generation before began with the Great Depression followed up by the rise of fascism and WWII...
That sounds encouraging, thanks!
If you want to be happy you’ll never be happy.
I generally don't comment but I have to in this case:

Your wiki is absolutely motivating. I have spent close to 1h on it now and I'll be spending more. I will also be "stealing" from it!

Really great work there.
It does limit your options, but also helps you focus and teaches you to be patient and less self centered. It opens your eyes to a world that’s hard to otherwise appreciate. It’s not a panacea of meaning but for me, i’ve found myself able to achieve more growth now (two kids) because it’s forced me to confront and attack the thing that was holding me back: lack of focus and most importantly being very selective in what i choose to do.

Hard disagree.

I wasted a lot of time before kids.

All of the things I’m most proud of I’ve done since having kids.
Hence why you need automated integration tests, where possible.
Especially for regressions.

They tend to have much higher value than pure unit tests.
There is no meaning in life except what you make of it.

You can argue those goals are just external influences that got imprinted in you in a period of your life in which you were prone to start dreaming.

Still, why not follow the goals you feel you should pursue?

Do what makes you happy, do what you can look back and say "that was cool", write a book you would read with your life actions.

I would be shocked if facebook didn't have specific research on how people interact on facebook rather than having to depend on some vague general observation.
It's true that sometimes we find something fulfilling late in life. But we should also factor that our mind (and thus perspective) biologically change as we age. So what you find fulfilling now at 50 may not be something you may have enjoyed in your 20's or 30's. I remember as a teenager I used to consider kids below 10 dumb pain-in-the-asses. Today, as an adult, I mostly enjoy interacting with them and find their perspective and curiosity really interesting.
> ...like I said it’s not a long-term solution.

I think the Witness, while not having a story in any sense, had more to say to its players than most games. I came out of it with a new state of a mind - not some major change, of course, but somewhat refreshed and looking at the world ever so slightly differently.

It's somewhat more like abstract art or perhaps lyrical poetry than it is to normal story telling, but that doesn't inherently detract from its quality. The quotes and clips it uses have a very clear theme and the idea of making a game about discovery, as the blog here I think correctly puts it, is interesting and at the very least different from most games.
If that’s how a person without kids feels, isn’t having kids just creating another person who has to have kids to find meaning in their life (and on and on and on)?

With the certainty of climate change, it feels like adoption is the only moral/ethical way to do this.
In Germany the milk in plastic tastes fine, although the plastic is more like a ziplock bag with some rigidity to it so it stands up straight and pours well.

I wasn't trying to say the plastic is the cause of the taste difference. I emphasized the plastic in the US because thats been my observation. However if you check the expiration dates in the US, milk in plastic tends to expire much more quickly than the milk in paper cartons. So there is more going on than it simply being different containers.
(GP) I actually have a 21 year old.
When I married he was 7, so I probably lost the craziness of the early years. However I raised him as my son the best way I could.

I don't know where to add this question without it seeming off subject, but seeing as we're heading into spring, seeing Germany has quite a wealthy economy with a good QOL, that many if not most workers get 5 weeks of holiday, the chip shortage is leading to slowdowns in the automotive industry etc etc... why doesn't the government just go cold turkey, give people a month or 2 free holidays while drastically reducing public lighting, telling businesses to stop heating their premises at night etc ... I mean we had a dress rehearsal 2 years ago with the onset of Covid, this would be easier as people can still go outside it'd befor a good cause and probably give a boost to domestic spending .... also curious I heard a lot of gas is used to make fertiliser... of course it's over-simplification but maybe a lot of that fertiliser is used to grow grain, corn to feed the meat industry....so maybe eating fewer bratwurst would be a healthy, ecological and ethical step which would send a f...U to the rest of the world saying we too can think outside of the box :-)

Completely agree that Japan has done better. Putting some numbers on it:

UK 21,461,556 cases, 313,247 cases/1M, 2,468 deaths/1M, 68,513,217 Pop
Japan 6,832,377 cases, 54,313 cases/1M, 226 deaths/1M, 125,795,510 Pop

So its the deaths per million that is 1/10th (2,000+ vs 200+), while the cases per million are more like 1/6.

I just figured it was an evolutionary (sort of Darwinian) march to where we are now. Throw enough stuff at the wall and you'll quickly find what sticks.

But to be sure, when I saw I was wasting away flipping through the 100 or so cable TV channels (around about the year 1999 or so) I cut the cord.

Of course, the web was not nearly as intoxicating then. I have the new cord around my neck now.

Have you been to Iceland? When I visited a few years back, the grocer had a massive wall of “milk”. All the usually skim, low-fat, whole, etc. And also a massive selection of sour milks and milk-yogurt-cream things.

As I don’t speak Icelandic, I grabbed a sour milk by mistake. It was horrific. Into the trash it went. And back to the store I went.
