This has been frustrating me to no end.

Te results on Google will show the reddit posts with dates within the last 6-12 months for the posts, then when I click into the post it was actually made 3-4 years ago.

There will be "<Post title - reddit.com> - 05/05/21", then you click that link, and the post was actually made 7 years ago, with the last comment being 7 years ago.
Ironically, that quoted excerpt inserted its own "convenient boogeyman" of housing undersupply caused by local opposition.

Also, institutional investors do have a reputation for inciting bubbles and that possibility absolutely needs to be carefully scrutinized, particularly for something as essential and socially compounding as housing.

Even before using more servers, one should consider using (one) bigger server (and another as backup).

Massive servers are laughably cheap these days. E.g. 16 cores, 128GB RAM is €112 from Hetzner.

I can't imagine PPI is too far removed.
Can't understand why this comment is so far down on the page. Apple Music has 98M users [1]. Let's say conservatively users listen to one song per day and update metadata on one song per month. That's 30 * 0.5 MB * 98M ~= 1 petabyte extra per month sent over the wire to save ~4 MB * 98M ~= 392 terabytes per month from being written to disk.

Those 0.5 MB presumably also need to be written to disk, making this a trading away of 392 TB in disk writes in exchange for 17 PB over the wire + 17 PB in disk writes? I'm sure this is overly simple and overlooks a lot of technical details, but I can't see how this can be worth it.

But you can never have true atomicity like that unless you pull in all of the source for all of your dependencies. That means, for most people, the Linux kernel and the standard gnu libraries and utilities. That's a lot of source code. And then you have to maintain all of those. If you're Google, you can do that. If you're a startup, probably not so much.
>. Who knew playing video games who amplify research that much ?

Unix was born to play a video game on a different platform. The Curses library for terminals (Windows users: "widgets" for the console") where born for Rogue.

Today, a damn serious OS like OpenBSD gives the BSD games set by default on the base install.

Text adventures for the Z-Machine had top tier grammar recognition parsers.

Then, a lot of simulation games overlapped the serious simulation software features, such as Sim City.
Expecting Discourse to give you an idea of a typical Ruby/Rails app will be very misleading. I've been working on Rails apps since 2008 and I've never had anything take more than ~10 *seconds* to boot up. For me, Ruby hasn't been slow for years. I work on both Rails and Node-based apps on a regular basis and the two are roughly comparable IMHO in terms of daily DX (perf-wise).
Software development advances have enabled worse and smaller teams of artists to produce sorta publisher-wise good-enough CGI, in greater volumes than ever before.

It's essentially the same thing we're seeing in e.g. web/service/app development: An explosion in the number of people working in the field along with an explosion in the tool space "advancements".

I find it all kind of depressing.

I completely agree. 1%/year should be very manageable. Especially for the country with the 2nd largest landmass in the world.

And yet here we are.

Folks love their suburbs. And they love those laws protecting their suburbs and excluding everything else the market might want to try.
I feel like it’s almost an attempt to appease citizens by blaming the issue on “foreigners” (always a move that is popular with politicians) to redirect attention from the much more likely cause - massive investments made by hedge funds, private capital, REITs which does not appear to be addressed at all?

Sorry friend, but you're wrong. First, the issue of foreign ownership in the real estate market has already been studied. So, they have evidence supporting the moratorium. And second, this budget also announced that they are going to investigate the role of hedge funds, private capital, REITs, etc. Early actions could be announced before the end of the year.
It's messy but as a whole it's not that complicated because the basic model is simple. There's one thing - tweets - and various ways they are listed or threaded.
None of this and other differences disqualifies it as an alternative.

If it's possible to save and access files from any browser, from any location, set up an automatically syncing folder, and selectively share access with others, then you have an alternative to dropbox, and all the other cloud personal storage services. All of which nextcloud can do.

The differences just mean you don't prefer that particular alternative the same way as if you didn't like the color scheme, or more realistically say the need to make a microsoft account for onedrive, or the way google probably scans the contents of google drive etc.

They are all still alternatives with various pros & cons.

Setting up your own nextcloud on a publicly accessible service is no different.

The cons like effort and cost are noted.

The pro is there is no one else in control of your stuff and it's impossible to lose your account due to some age verification, or any other reason like "communiy standards" or billing dispute. The worst that can happen is your hosting provider can drop you, but that is a commodity and there are infinite other hosting providers and methods. Keep your own mirror so you don't care even if the hosting provider deletes everything.

If any alternative to dropbox has to be identical in every detail to qualify, then it has exactly the same problems as well. An alternative actually has to be different in some way or else it's not an alternative but just more of the same, and there is no point in that.
Hum... I never saw that "see more replies" link. That's probably why people talk about replies here that I never see on Twitter.

Oh man, I'm pissy for that reason too. Windows sucks at window management, having to position your windows every day rather than have the DE handle it (as KDE has for decades) is infinitely annoying. Yes, you can use third-party scripts (Autohotkey, etc.) but, like, wtf is the window manager for then?? /rant
I started a video game company in 1994 that used SGI Indigo workstations to render animations created in StrataVision 3D [1]. The artists and animators would model, surface and animate on Macs and then send the files to the SGI machines for fast rendering. I can't remember the name of the SGI rendering software or find any signs of it on the internet.

If we would have had the funds, it would have been nice to put Alias on the SGI boxes. We were later able to purchase Lightwave for Irix which was pretty nice, but StrataVision wasn't that bad in retrospect.

I think as a serious counter to that, look at the offers that a FAANG will give you - similar base salary, similar sign-on bonuses. Generally WLB is fine.

The real differentiator - they're offering you equity which is liquid right now.

If one is risk averse, one wouldn't touch Fast with a ten foot pole.
The ad was taken down before the comments on the previous HN posting ceased activity 19 days ago.

That sounds promising. You understood perfectly where I am and what I'm looking for, thanks.

I'll check out ag.el. The incremental search is not that big a deal, I'm usually searching for a keyword anyway.

I looked briefly at org-roam, and I agree with your assessment. It looks like it adds friction to the part that needs to be as smooth as possible for me: adding notes. I could probably dummy something up for searching by making a command that shells out to grep or whatever, but that feels like fighting against the data model.

System for Cross-Domain Identity Management
If there's one thing google needs to very very heavily penalize in their page rank algorithm, it's websites that outright lie about date. It makes the entire search process unusable for tons of queries, even more so than if they just didn't display any date.

If that's impossible they should at least keep track of page history independently of what the page itself says. Especially when it's very obviously just done to cheat the algo. There's no way for an archived 7 year old reddit article to actually change, and honestly even in an active post I don't see any reason for updating the timestamps.
> I doubt I would ever use org-mode in neovim because it relies on being implemented in the entire emacs system and the emacs lisp language . Nothing short of embedding emacs on neovim would make it tenable.

Uh-oh, this does not make a good commercial for org-mode. Is it really that tightly bound to emacs that it fundamentally cannot be used as a general-purpose editor-agnostic tool?
I think you might mean 'content collapse' here instead of 'context collapse'? They're both terribly clunky terms, but the article defines the former as the homogenisation of all content due to it sharing the same screen.

'Context collapse' I understand as the merging of our pre-online identities (who you were in various contexts) into one authoritative identity due to ubiquitous social networks.
>> I find it absolutely crazy that companies do this.

It has changed a bit, but a large part of it is due to HR policies around salary bands. You can have one person do 10x or 5x and another do 1/3x but their salaries are often max .5 factor apart. Ive been in situations where i'd rather reward (perhaps with a vest period) one person with 3x the salary and just skip all the inter-person communications bs, but HR makes it hard.

We were able to do this at hedge funds, and i'm sure small startups can do this, but as companies grow, HR will generally not allow this.
QED. (What you're saying makes sense, I don't understand why anyone would disagree after considering the facts.)
Damn, wish those dedicated servers were available in Hetzner's US data center. As far as I'm aware, the closest thing to a competitor in the US is OVH, and the server you get for that price is about a quarter of the capacity. That's plenty for my little company, but still...
After high school I got a job as video game artist for Virgin Games (in 92). While there another artist brought in an SGI that he was borrowing from a friend and demo'd it. I fell in love with it.

So a year later, after being rejected from art school, I used my bit of college savings to buy the SGI and Alias.

I used it for a few small video projects and animations, and then started contracting for SGI doing design work for their website. They even gave me an old Indigo to work on.

I kept both machines for about 10 years and then finally gave away them away to a collector.

Yeah, AssemblyScript is a key WASM language variant - I made a list of some of the other TypeScript-like implementations last year. Static TypeScript and TypeScriptCompiler do something similar in order to run inside web pages. At a quick glance, this proposal might get some ideas from the thinking done on BorrowScript

Exactly, if they were getting at maybe hormone levels changing because of microplastics pollution then they should have stated that rather than bringing up sexuality and gender.
Unix was created to play SpaceWar, and now you have Linux, OSX and BSD's based on it.
Ehhh not really. Linux is just generally bad about saying you should reboot when you really should reboot. For example if any of the commonly used libraries (like gtk) are updated, you really really should reboot or you'll get random bugs and glitches.

If you're running a server and you can be sure to do a full restart of that service including any other dependencies then sure. But isn't that functionally a reboot anyway? It's not like keeping just the kernel alive meaningfully changes anything. Your services were still interrupted.
If there's no password login doesn't prompt for one (you immediately get a shell after entering the user name) and ssh won't let you login. Removing the password is the correct default for interactive login on GNU/Linux unless you set up PAM.
Disagree with that assessment. The readers go where the good authors are as well - and so it is with Groupon, Doordash, Etsy, etc
that is really, really cool. Leveraging spring-like "tendons" to do the leg lifting and resulting in 1/4 the power usage of "normal" robot legs modeled after humans. Great visualizations.
I think at a relatively young age, I started having existential crises. Eventually I stopped fighting the darkness and accepted a lack of a god or afterlife, and accepted the ephemeral nature of life.

As a result, It motivated me to reframe what it meant for my life to have purpose. I instead started focusing really hard on not making my short amount of time go to waste. I wanted to work on things that had a positive impact on the world, keep humanity evolving intellectually and technologically, hopefully decreasing suffering in the process and more recently I've prioritized building wealth for my future family. We just had a baby and I'm realizing the next important thing I can do is set my son up to have what he needs to make more of a positive impact than I have.

> 1. During the pandemic, consumer durables went from ~10-11% of consumption to ~13%. 3 percentage points of consumption is about half a trillion dollars annually. Many of these durables come with cheap microcontrollers or even high end SoCs now. New vehicles have dozens of cheap microcontrollers. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=Ktkq

How will this scale to quadrupeds? It seems novel, but birds are lightweight and topheavy, with significant active balance redistributing their weight front-to-back. Look at how much head movement is involved in a bird walking.

For light loads, this may work very well, but most robotic walkers are being developed as pack animals and I think that's the clear niche for bipedal robots.
If it's only way you convey it.

Using colors to further emphasize state or semantics is pretty great. Traffic lights is a good model of how that can work.
I had a separate 'daily.txt' file for this sort of thing, and it's desperately in need of a replacement. Your setup sounds pretty good to me. It seems like org mode may be a better match for the daily stuff than it is for my notes file. I especially like the idea of archiving into a subheader of the right day.

Great point.

Now if the program were divided into basic blocks, then any jump based on flags would necessarily be the last instruction of the current basic block. Suppose that the program has the property that flags are always consumed in the same basic block. Then the control info is enough. So whenever we replace movl $0, eax, by xor, we can just check whether or not we are in a basic block that ends with a jump conditional on the Z flag.

If that doesn't hold, we need data flow info. For each instruction, we can know from doing data flow analysis whether there are any live flags: CPU flags whose current values are used down later in the program.

E.g. say we have:

movl $0, %eax
movl $0, %ecx
movl abc, %esi
clz

Here, data flow analysis tells us that the Z flag is dead at the movl instruction, because the only possible execution path reaches a clz, and nothing uses the Z flag before then. Thus we are free to clobber it. Moreover, when we do so, the data flow picture doesn't change. The Z flag is dead at the movl, and is still dead when that is replaced by xorl. The optimization doesn't require a recalculation of the data flow info.
You can even update GPU driver without restarting. Those are some crappy 3rd party programs.

No, and this (https://d3d0lqu00lnqvz.cloudfront.net/media/media/9d427dba-c...) is the reason why.

The area in the red is one continuous granite slab called the Canadian Shield. The US has no comparable geography.

There's almost zero topsoil, and building any community there involves a lot of very expensive blasting.
It's bad land for the opposite reason that the Australian continent is largely uninhabitable: there's tons of water, but no soil.

(The only real upside to it is that it's very conducive to hydroelectric energy; the vast majority of Canadian energy production can be, and has always been, zero-emissions- we call electric companies "the hydro", and combined with the nuclear reactors in Ontario, 85% of national electrical power generation is zero-emissions.)

Superimpose a population density map on the Eastern provinces, and you'll notice that generally speaking, the settled area of the provinces ends where the shield begins. That isn't a coincidence.

Sure, climate change should make a bit of the [non-red-shaded] land more economically useful, but that's about it, and mining/farming communities generally aren't large enough to provide a base for a new city especially because it's landlocked- so you're not going to see any new cities spring up there any time soon.
