I don’t think there’s a great explanation for it being linear. But if you ask him I expect you’d get some combination of:

- writing it in a mad frantic rush[1] every day and just getting slower over time

- it being harder to write novel things, or there being more to read in the morning

- family life, eg he has a toddler and would work in the early morning so maybe helping with the morning rush or going to bed later as the kid gets a bit older.

- covid breaking the usual schedule of ‘work frantically in the morning then come to the office to chat to colleagues

- linear increase in time spent reading fan mail in the morning

[1] I think he’d definitely say something like this.
The French are so confident in their national ID cards that they still have drivers licenses that are a flimsy piece of paper. New ones are an actual card, but as they don’t need renewal, lots of flimsy pieces of paper out there.

A student id from a university might have a passport sized photo stapled to it.
English is one of the official ICAO languages and it's mandatory for all pilots at least in EASA and FAA rules to be English proficient. But as far as I know it's not forbidden to use any of the other languages if both controller and crew speak that language.

Even the other way around, some small French airports have a listing as "French mandatory" for their radio frequencies. Which is quite a challenge for me as a foreign pilot not speaking French.

But overall it would be safer if all ATC comms were done in English. Because it's better for situational awareness if you can understand what others in the same airspace are doing.

For the general public it seems like a new thing. But many of us have been working fully or mostly remote for decades, used to be called distributed. There is a lot of knowledge out there for anyone who want to learn, extensively tested in many organisations. The gitlab stuff, linked above, is one example.

I've been building and running globally distributed asynchronous organisations for 20y, and I've learnt some of my tips/tricks/tools from people doing it very successfully for many years before I started.

My best tips: ditch the traditional management dogma, it's quite inefficient anyway. Trust your people. Make sure they have the information and training they need. Flatten out. Push for transparency. Go async! Especially for decision making.

For me it has been exceptionally rare that people are less productive when they are given control over their own circumstances.
One way you can do this with Mutagen is to use a hub-and-spoke topology, where one copy of the files (say the one on the laptop where you're coding) is the "hub," and then you have multiple two-way (or one-way) synchronization sessions going out to the various "spoke" endpoints. In the two-way case, changes on a spoke endpoint will be propagated out to the other endpoints by first propagating to the hub. Obviously, you can have contention in this case if you have ultra-high-frequency updates to the same sets of of files, though the conflicting operations would have to occur on a smaller timescale than that of a single Mutagen synchronization cycle (which is typically somewhere around 100ms for an average codebase). Also, in the case of contention, Mutagen will simply display the conflicting files to you and you can delete the "losing" copy. You can also set auto-resolution behavior with Mutagen's `two-way-resolved` mode to let the hub win in conflicts, or use `one-way-replica` mode to make all the spoke endpoints replicas of the hub, or some combination of all these things, etc.
The Apple Music app was effectively an Electron app for a few years before the Catalyst version arrived, just a shell around webviews. And even now, there's still a bunch of webviews in the app today.

Mac Messages was comically just a plain webview for years. Again, that changed with Catalyst.
minimap exists in Xcode but it's not quite the same. It only shows `// MARK: ` comments.

Would love for Xcode to have more language support. Maybe an lsp client.
how did you find this and remembered?
This may not be the story the parent poster is referring to but here's an area near me under similar circumstances. As far as I'm aware of, this has happened in other places in the country. I've heard of similar contamination near military bases in Hawaii and also in Okinawa Japan.

Edit: I just realized the question was about a different comment. Leaving this here because I still think it's somewhat relevant and interesting. Apologies.
Thanks, I guess you're referring to my page from about 12 years ago when I offered to give emails to other people with my name? I think 5-6 other people reached out and I gave them emails that are still running now. I know one other Jeff Huang who I'm pretty friendly with (and we've had random encounters in person), and the others are strangers.

I hate how OpenAI got a lot of their public name and attention through the original benefactors that started it and their pledge of opening up AI research to the public, and now they are basically the opposite - monetized opaque controlled systems. Really off-putting.
I’m not saying not to admit a mistake. I’m saying that such a trivial mistake should not have happened in the first place. Who’d have known that people might have several Macs and would want to use a code editor on several of them?
The investigation took place in 2017, kind of before everyone learned Bitcoin=Traceability.
>This article is terrible honestly. Statements like "tracing a cryptocurrency that once seemed untraceable". Excuse me what? Who thought this? Idiots at three letter agencies? Pedophiles and drug dealers?

There's often a disconnect on HN between what HN users collectively know by virtue of this being their field of trade, and what the average non-tech person is aware of. It's this latter group of people that, by and large, as Bitcoin started to become popular, were under the impression that it was anonymous.

Edit: It doesn't help that, as the article states, Satoshi even said, "Participants can be anonymous," back in 2008[1]. To your point, he did say this as he linked to the white paper you mentioned, but average users are less likely to read the white paper than we are.

Value of “Engineering” in Research
Progress is hard to quantify. We developed language, what, hundreds of thousands of years ago? And then very little seemed to happen, but it was a slow-burning fire that eventually exploded. Our use of computers seems almost sure to be similar.

But that said, there are certainly structural factors inhibiting innovation. Scale problems make it nearly impossible to challenge someone like Google or Facebook (although TikTok did manage the latter). Were there more competition, one imagines there would be more innovation. Patents are likely a net drag. Laws, esp. tax laws, could be simpler. I'm sure I'm omitting other important factors.
For sure that is why I said "sure it depends on what you measure and how, but that is how statistics work". But it was a pretty comprehensive study. Crime is still up. You can travel to any of these cities and notice a visible difference. Going to SF, Austin and Denver from trips several years ago to this year was noticeably different. From tent cities, trash, drugs, crime and the general voice from the locals.
still can't do hands, and has to be told what to do

However, VPS and cloud providers generally have bad IP reputation or block ports. We created a service called Hoppy Network that addresses this. It provides a /32 IPv4 and /56 IPv6 over WireGuard, costs $8/month, and can be used to host anything from web servers to SMTP servers. Here's a link.

Think about this. Think about where we got, as a people. This is out of this world. I don't want to get into if you like it or not or think it's good or not, no. Anyway you feel about Tesla, Musk, mass production, automation, whatever, just stop for a moment and think how the heck did we get here? I was amazed. I know some folks are used to these kinds of environments, but me? It looks straight from a 80s or 90s big sci-fi movie. It's mesmerizing.

With the default setup, GNU parallel seems to be about 1000x slower than it should be and 165x slower than serial xargs. On a 16 core/32 thread CPU running Linux 5.16 (with parallel-20220322, perl-5.34.1, ripgrep-13.0.0, findutils-4.9.0, grep-3.7):

cd /dev/shm
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.17.2.tar.xz
tar xpJf linux-5.17.2.tar.xz
cd linux-5.17.2

$tm xargs -0 grep $lb -l foofoo < ../f # 800 milliseconds wall
$tm parallel -0j16 grep -l foofoo < ../f # 132 *SECONDS* wall

GNU parallel uses massive %CPU to make slow progress which also tends to confuse users new to parallelism in general. Hey, maybe there is a --dont-go-slow flag somewhere. I'd bet actual new users take a while to find it - maybe they never find it. There seems to at least some story of bad/confusing defaults here. A quick grep in the parallel package for benchmark only seems to indicate things that benefit from network asynchrony, not CPU parallelism.

I tried to pick something anyone could reproduce, should they so desire. Cheers.
I can second everything you said, really well described!

There's one thing that I would like to challenge though, which is high velocity and sprints. I don't think those two things have much to do with each other. When you work in sprints you just promise that you will get those items you start out with by the end of the sprint. But as items get finished, they can also be rolled out to customers already if you have that capability. This capability depends on other things than the sprint boundary though.

I've been in places where we deployed once every sprint. Also where we deployed once every quarter. And where we deploy once something hits the main branch. The difference between these places regarding sprints? None, all three used 2 week sprints. But they differed in how automated and integrated testing and deployment procedures were. Deploying once a quarter was at a place where "QA" wasn't fully integrated into the sprints. So while we had automated tests and manual testing in each sprint, deployment could only happen after "regression testing", which was a "throw over the fence to another department" process and deployments were manual and required down time. Deploying once it hits the main branch? We have automated tests and manual testing w/ a fully integrated system for every branch. Deployments are fully automated and run on a schedule that picks up anything that was recently merged to the main branch multiple times a day. Nobody has to touch anything after hitting the "Merge" button on that PR. So if something's done two days into the sprint, it will go out. Have a bug that you fixed and got QA'd 4 hours into the sprint? Customers can have it in hand around hour 5 into the sprint.
Yes, that’s true - it’s not affordable for a lot of people who live here, because a lot of people who live here are very low-income. Seeing $100k described as “poorly paid” felt weird for just that reason though. By the standards of just about everyone I know outside of my cushy tech job, $100k from a single job is extremely privileged.

Slight aside on yards, front yards are typically out of course, but I was astonished when I visited one of my coworkers in South Philly and he had a sizeable backyard behind his rowhome. Don’t know how common that is, satellite imagery is too low-res to tell, but I see a decent number that look like they’re 1/3 of the lot!

Also, perhaps my standards are skewed - walkability and bikeability are pretty important to me, which means I’d want smaller lot sizes anyway. Big SFHs on big expensive lots aren’t so appealing as a result :)
I think it's less the targeted advertising, and more like I can't take 5 internet steps today without 40 people shouting at me to buy their diapers because my partner googled "diapers" last night.
I don't even know what point you are trying to make. You think that because the money that an exchange uses is decentralized (in an automated way) that they wouldn't have an office or that they wouldn't care about crime around their office affecting their employees?
I'm not sure which of these 4+ "fundamental innovations" is most odious.

Geographically limiting the use of a particular kind of money might just be the worst, given how company script was so easily abused in the past. I think it's telling that the geographically limited money is for some "peasant" thing like electric bikes, rather than for some VC-related thing, like off shore banking.
It's worth mentioning a few things for background context:

"PartiQL" is a specification for a SQL dialect capable of querying data from various sources (whether structured/relational or not):

> "PartiQL provides SQL-compatible query access across multiple data stores containing structured data, semistructured data, and nested data. It is widely used within Amazon and is now available as part of many AWS services, including DynamoDB."

Amazon has an internal implementation of the PartiQL query language specification, that is used to make DynamoDB (and some other sources) queryable with SQL:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerg...

This is similar in concept to something like Google's ZetaSQL, or Apache Calcite in a way.

So the library in the link is a tool to generate Kotlin code given a description of an IR/AST format in Ion language (another Amazon invention), along with visitors and tree-transformers/rewrite interfaces, etc.

The assumption I would make is that they are probably using/intend to use this to write the query engine powering the "PartiQL on DynamoDB" service (maybe I am wrong). So I'd imagine it's pretty solid code.

It certainly looks like it from the README.
Did anyone catch a value proposition there? Sounds ridiculous to me.
TOW, Stinger, Javelin, and Switchblade Drone/Missiles are all capable of taking out large commercial airplanes.

TOW 2 are specifically designed to take out buildings in the Bunker Buster variants. Simultaneous release of multiple TOW2s could be used to defeat large industrial buildings, or skyscrapers.

Slovakia has sent an S300 to Ukraine, and those are pretty hefty sized missiles too.

Are you drawing the limit on short range tactical missiles, intermediate range tactical missiles, Cruise Missiles, ICBMs, or Nuclear ICBMs, since we have already established NATO is supplying a number of missile types to Eastern Ukraine?
Absolutely outrageous! I wish I could say I don't believe it.
Very very unlikely. Every pilot knows exactly how to disconnect the autopilot, we train things like autopilot failure and recently trim runaway (which is closely related) in the sim.

Nobody would be screaming "stop it, stop it" instead of doing something if the button was working fine.
Is it powered by Google? I'd rather use an alternative which has the same quality of results as Google's engine.
Yes, but before that person had an even number of handshakes, so shaking their hand gets them to odd. But at the expense of putting him at even. At worst, it's a neutral move.

And like I said, it really depends on the other rules which are never explicitly stated.

But I have a sneaking suspicion that discussing the game is arguing the metaphor.

The game is just there to help us get to the realization that graphs with an even number of vertices can have an odd number of edges, but a graph with an odd number of vertices can't have an odd number of edges.
That's nice! Completely different approach...
Just like each nuclear plant is a "ticking nuclear bomb", each dam is a ticking dam bomb :) I forgot where I heard this from. Anyway, a dam failure can cause hundreds of thousands of deaths within minutes.

"Principled" is a rather neutral designation. All it means you have strict rules. As to whether those rules are at all useful is not included in that designation.

I'm skeptical.

The thing about art is that so much qualifies as good. Something very close to a beautiful painting is probably also a beautiful painting.

But an algorithm very close to the right way to count votes, or launch a rocket, or decide whether to lend to someone, is probably not the right way.
If a site doesn't have a Reject button, what I do is: Copy URL. Open Private Browsing window. Paste and go. Right-click on banner. Choose Inspect. Select parent element. Right-Click. Select "Delete element"

That is often less work than to have to go through some sites' cookie settings forms...

... but I wish I had a plug-in that did it in a more automated way. I'd want to just right-click and select "Remove this element" (but I'd name it something less polite...).

And the next step: Collect statistics about clicks and display a public list of shame.
Then each month, send a strongly worded letter (regular mail) to the operator of the next site that got the worst rating in the past month (and didn't get a letter less than six months before).
Tokyo does well. Ubiquitous public transit does wonders. Singapore is supposed to be pretty good as well, but I’ve never left Changi to tell.
Common language is always needed - this is CDG, a large airport with many flights. It is important that all planes have situational awareness. If half are speaking French, how does the pilot coming from Seoul have situational awareness? What if he's sitting on the runway and doesn't know that the ATC just gave clearance to land in French to a pilot on the runway he's currently on?

ATC and pilots for commercial airlines should only be speaking English, regardless of their native tongue and where they are.

It's pretty important - and it is actually EU law:
https://www.thinkspain.com/news-spain/29531/air-traffic-cont...

Unfortunately it only applies to airports with 50k international flights per year - the bar should be much lower than that. But of course, CDG qualifies.
Yeah!!!

> there was a general economic expansion… with the gains concentrated in a fair small segment at the top, which it covered by (non-sustainably) paying for continued debt-fueled lifestyle improvements for groups that weren't seeing real income gains.

That’s one long sentence.

The thing is it’s impossible to decouple any economic expansion from 2000-2008 from the trillions of dollars that flooded into the economy during that period as a direct result of the artificial housing prices and newly available debt.

I agree with you though to the extent that any actual wealth that was generated was concentrated to the top, it always is. There hasn’t been real income gains for the working class in about 50 years, but the explosion in household and consumer debt in that time is incontrovertible from about $300B in 1970 to $11.5T in 2010.
Does it? My personal experience is that both play count and ratings are only stored inside the iTunes database and not inside the media files, too.

(And a cursory search does indeed bring up various people searching for workarounds to that in order to transfer the rating from iTunes to some different software…)
> Did creating the iPhone induce demand for iPhones that otherwise would not have been there? Was there pent up demand for iPhones that was sated by their creation?

Invention is the mother of necessity. — Marshal McLuhan

> In the same way, it seems strange to term things induced/pent up demand. Increased road capacity means people could plan more car trips without worrying about sitting in traffic.

Until that new capacity is filled up and now you have even more people sitting in traffic. The only way to reduce traffic is to get people out of cars, otherwise you're just spending money to kick the can down the road.

ICQ was completely killed on the protocol level (including numerical UINs) by the current owners around 2018 and later was relaunched as a complete rewrite and an easy and direct way of delivering your messages to your FSB curators.
I almost always refuse to interact with the cookie banner, and continue using the site in its crippled state or leave. Even StackOverflow, I compensate by zooming out. If I really need the info and the banner is really in the way, I use element zapper. Fuck cookie banners.
You gotta explain this to me. I have no idea what this is about but made me laugh.
It disengages when you fight it. With the associated and very recognizable autopilot disengage sound. I'm sure there is more to this story than "crew mistake" as some seem to imply here.
So where can we common plebs go to submit paragraphs for generation?
I've recently started just relying on adblocking, and just agreeing. Its such a battle to keep the info up.
Incredibly misleading, he didn't directly paste bios into the description and they were massively curated.
Hey everyone, Nick here creator of the linked thread. I just wanted to link to another tweet I have with some details of how I made it.

TLDR it’s not just the bio pasted directly into dall-e and the images are cherry-picked but dall-e is basically doing 95% of the work here. I have no ability to make art myself, and I found I could illustrate basically any bio I wanted in a couple minutes of playing around. My goal was to create illustrations for my friends not create a dall-e gallery but I’m glad it ended up being a good example of what dall-e can do

"(Paid parental leave is apparently an attack on the 'traditional family'.)"

Well, duh. Everyone knows that being barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen is a woman's natural place, so she should stay home taking care of the kids with no pay while her husband brings home the bacon to buy her pretty things, so he doesn't need parental leave either. Traditions must be right and unchallenged, otherwise why would they be traditional all those years? Obviously.

(This is the second or third time today I feel the need to write this disclaimer, but: everything above is, hopefully clearly, sarcastic as fuck. Please read into the irony the exact opposite of what the words say.)
Where exactly do you mean by "the other side of the pond"?

I moved to Vancouver from the UK last year and it is significantly nicer/more liveable than most UK cities I've seen.
Would it be more accurate to say 'oldest' since it's not there as we're seeing it now?

I suppose it's all the same in space-time. But what we study about it is more in relation to the time of the light rather than the place, so 'oldest' has a more relevant connotation.
I don't think it was low-hanging at the time (2017). They had to figure out how to trace the bitcoin chain to unmask users. They also had to cast a wide international net with different jurisdictions and rules to get the people arrested by their locality.

Now having a clearnet IP address over Tor website, as well as converting straight to fiat using standard exchanges is about as low-hanging as it gets.
