Got a similar repo: https://github.com/lloeki/dotfiles

A couple of differences though.

- there's a setup script to do the basic symlinks, automatically from the files in the "home" subdir by prepending the names with .

- then for shell stuff everything is sourced from either shell, bash, or zsh subdirs, all in modular files

- shell dir content is autoloaded based on +x

- there are polyfills for bash that makes it more zsh-like (stuff like precmd)

- each shell module tests for tool presence and is a noop or sets up a fallback when the tool is not available, so I can clone this on any system and have it still work, gracefully degrading down to zero deps except the shell itself

- it also attempts to provide a uniform experience across bash versions and OSes (darwin, linux)

- prompt is minimal (workdir, dirname only, not the full path), increases with detail progressively and in a hierarchical order (root if root, host if ssh, workdir, vcs branch if in repo, vcs status as symbols if nonempty, venv name if virtualenv, "nix" if in nix shell)
Doubt it, it's likely more because it's interesting, and there're interesting things to be done with it.
With an orm and customer objects to create scoped queries, I haven't found this to be a problem. It's also very easy to check in code reviews. And not a painful issue from, well, the lack of this happening given it's an extremely common app design.
Well, I'm within a year or so of being forty. I've have been on about 75 dates over the last two years with women aged 29 to 50s.

Huh, the first version of this comment before you edited it said:

Yes I'm in my forties, have been on dates over the last two years with about 50 women aged 29 to 50

Another comment from you in this same story says:

Soon I should probably ask if she'll marry me, advice on this would be welcome :) we are 9 months in

Congratulations on dating about 50, I mean about 75 women in about 15 months. Also congratulations on regressing in age!

Since you explicitly solicited advice in your other comment - I think a man in his 40s (or almost 40) would be insane to propose marriage to a woman he's dated for 9 months.
In concatenative languages, every nontrivial program is a DSL. The difficulty is that other people have to learn the base language and your DSL to read or modify your programs, on top of the stack-based nature of most concatenative languages hiding the dataflow between functions.
I had exactly the same discussion with my wife and I am gonna strongly disagree here.

It's a two way street, yes I need to be open to the possibility of this being a 'venting' conversation where she is looking only for support. However, she also needs to be aware that it is my natural inclination to look for 'solutions' and that social cues are not my forte.

So it is also part of the meet me half-way that she clearly _says_ (not hints) at the start that she is not looking for solutions but is just sharing/venting.

I think one of biggest breakthroughs in our relationship was watching the play "Defending the Caveman" together. It suddenly put into words everything I was somehow unable to express in how differently we perceive/process reality.
You have to ignore the "They will have competition." to make your own bad faith argument.

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
Curious to know if anyone has written programs for their own, regular, & personal use. And if so what they are? E.g. A colleague of mine tracks all of his homes energy use through a custom program which disaggregates the energy consumption per device and outputs a report to a tablet.
It's worth it though. Consider the single male life. You will have no friends, because your male friends will all get wives and girlfriends, who will dissuade them from hanging out with you, the weird bachelor. You will be seen as weird at work because all of your coworkers will be married, and people don't like an outlier.

So the cost is high, so what? You could get divorced, lose half of everything you own, and have to pay ((your salary) - (her salary)) for the rest of your life. But what's the point of money if not to buy experiences?
I find this comparison extremely weird.

Interesting lecture from one of the co-founders of Form Energy

The Future of Energy Storage - Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, MIT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E76q-9q7ZDg

Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, one of the world’s most prominent researchers in energy storage, will give a personal perspective on some of the challenges and opportunities for better and cheaper energy storage. From a historical perspective, battery performance has improved steadily, but now the divergent needs for batteries in high energy density applications such as EVs (and, coming soon, electric aviation), and those for grid storage, which emphasizes ultra-low cost and earth-abundant materials, are becoming clear.

He will give examples of emerging innovations that may address these different needs, including solid-state and other batteries that use alkali metal electrodes, and approaches that make use of the most widely available electroactive elements.

Battery technologies are notoriously difficult to scale given high technology risk and high development costs. Yet-Ming will share some of the unique lessons learned at startups he has co-founded, including A123, 24M, and most recently Form Energy.

Well, let us make it really simple:

Labor is how we create wealth. It is the only way we create wealth.

Wealthy people get to purpose more of their time than poor people do.

Time is money, money is time, OK?

Wealth can be assigned a value in terms of money.

Now, those who created the means expect to be valued and for the means to have value.

The basis for that value is the additional wealth per labor unit the means makes possible. As for their value... let's just call that a promise or suggestion of mutual benefit in the future and leave it there.

A great creator, innovator will make others around them wealthy, unless they require too much for having done the work. This is not hard to see.

With that in mind, let us further assign a dollar amount to all of that. Once we do, then we also assign dollar amounts to labor so they may be traded with greater efficiency and or flexibility.

With me so far?

When the dollar amount of that past work output is valued high, it can be said the greater percentage of wealth created by labor goes to those who own the means, tools.

Value too high, and labor fails to deliver enough value for the laborers. It may cost them more to perform the labor than said labor delivers to them.

And there is the harm done.

It may make more sense for laborers to abandon that expensive, though productive means, and secure more value per unit of labor, despite being less productive, and or potentially non compliant. They may simply employ the means and pay less, or nothing too, creating conflict.

Regardless of what the law is, or any of us may say or feel, the human costs and risks always present themselves and must always be met, or the people cease to exist.

Given how undesirable ceasingbto exist is, society often makes up the difference via subsidy, assistance of various kinds. This mostly assures more compliance, and does cost everyone.

And there you have increased crime, black markets of various kinds driven by people whose labor fails to generate enough wealth relative to their costs and risks associated with their existence and or showing up for work.

Taking money out of all that would look the same, just without the dollars.

It might look like that owner of the means having a large food store, or requires too much compensatory labor for their benefit, leaving the others in town poor, in that their labor fails to meet their collective costs and risks, which leaves them time poor, and therefore not wealthy, despite a means of being more wealthy available.
I see some little (i) on "works" on some of mine from my report, so perhaps it's more for negative reporting about things that don't work well? Who knows; you never find out about all the issues with any hardware until after you buy it.
I wouldn’t short. They just slapped 400+ customers and likely hundreds of thousands of users in the face and the C-suite didn’t think it was important to even acknowledge.

That might look like incompetence, but I think it’s confidence. They know the switching costs for large orgs are so high they can treat these people like trash and few if any will leave. I wouldn’t be surprised if the total number of seats among affected customers has gone up in a few months. By failing to acknowledge the problem they’ve kept it out of the mainstream media and financial press.

They have their customers by the balls and don’t respect them. That’s a short term bullish signal to me.
A few months after that article... NASA did some investigating and found tin whiskers in some faulty accelerator pedals. And interestingly enough, these pedals would all test out fine. This particular one the complaint noted that she had to hit the brake to get the car to stop. So she did not end up crashing. So I'm inclined to believe her car really did take off suddenly. This presentation changed up my mind a bit about unintended acceleration in these cars.

https://nepp.nasa.gov/whisker/reference/tech_papers/2011-NAS...

I do believe that it could happen, but also I do believe that in most cases you should be able to slam on the brakes and stop the car.

The only time I hear positive, real-world crypto news is when a country's economy goes down the drain and people are desparate to transfer their assets so they can buy things or get out. Or when a totalitarian government is withholding its citizens from receiving USD from abroad. In those cases, the volatility of Bitcoin is less than that of their own currency, and you can transfer it with a droplet of internet.

I think the value of free money is lost on most people who live in highly functioning societies where the trade-off of centralised money doesn't show its backside, and the tradeoff of decentralised money at its infancy mostly just shows the backside.
And they are now looking to do the same thing again.
Well, i wasn't going to respond, because again IMHO your mostly wrong.

I suggest you look at llvmpipe (for shader emulation). Because abstractions can be extended both to higher level concepts as well as lower. The whole concept of shaders were bolted onto the GL specs.

The fact that a certain ecosystem is unable to extend their abstractions, as you mention with the camera situation, is less about abstractions and more about the mindset of that ecosystem. I'm fairly sure that I can design an API that provides much of what one gets with camera2 in a way that allows most apps to continue to behave like nothing changed, while allowing newer apps that need that functionality to request it of the existing API, while also maintaining ABI compatibility with older drivers, and allowing newer drivers to provide said extensions either via an extension mechanism, or alternatively a shim that layers the older API on top of a newer driver API (and therefor providing two driver ABIs one for older drivers and a newer one for newer drivers). The vulcan/GL situation is informative here. Having SW or HW that supports one or the other doesn't preclude the opposite.

And things like FP16, which are used mostly to provide higher perf/efficiency machine learning, already usually have some kind of abstraction in place to just use FP32 in places where FP16 isn't available.

The point being that the "success" of the android/arm disposable software/HW model shouldn't imply its not possible to build abstraction, and extend them.
Good worthwhile valuable things were actually created on the web in the late nineties. The bubble was that they just didn't live up to the speculative financial hype.

The problem with crypto is that all that it is is speculative financial hype. The entire worth of crypto is a bet on its future utility.

The difference between the dot com bubble and web3 is that there is no web3 craigslist or geocities or usenet or altavista or webmd or ebay or amazon or anything of utility or value other than as an investment asset.
Some design ideas for those of us willing to build our own insect hotels

https://learninglandscapesdesign.com/insect-hotels/
Just brainstorming here, but perhaps it was tea that she wanted to prepare herself, and the problem may have been that you "muscled your way into" a course of action that she wanted to be hers.

Your analysis of the situation is problematic when you write: "I guess I won't do nice random things like start your tea from now on." It was your wife who started the tea-making process, not you. To somebody who already feels sore about this kind of thing, it may feel as if you're taking credit for her action.

Of course, normal people in a normal situation don't react in the way that your wife did. As others pointed out, there are almost certainly more issues in your relationship and your wife likely reacted this way because your behavior fit into a larger pattern that she is unhappy with.

Also please note, you absolutely cannot draw the conclusion that she doesn't want you to do nice things for her in general.
I think The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss covers this topic pretty well, as well as the one-sentence street book "never bring a knife to a gun fight".
Government action around the world has had a definite impact on cryptocurrency pricing, both positive and negative. The idea that a government cannot control cryptocurrencies is ludicrous, because they can simply ban them if they feel the need to.

If any real cryptocurrency actually manages to catch on for normal payments, I'd expect the government to force businesses accepting it to only accept transactions from "validated" wallets to ensure that the proper amount of tax is being paid. Any "unvalidated" wallets would risk a visit from the local tax agency for attempted tax fraud or whatever. Technology won't stop legislation.

Also, if anything is inflated right now, it's the price of cryptocurrencies. They're volatile to a comical level and the ones that are reasonably stable have such high processing fees that they're utterly useless for actual payment. The solution proposed by enthusiasts seems to be centralization (Lightning network etc.) which ruins most of the theoretical benefits of cryptocurrencies. Nobody with the intention to buy groceries buys any cryptocurrencies, except for the one country where cryptocurrency companies have managed to convince the government that their system is a good solution (and even there the actual currency gets converted to US dollar in the end).

Inflation, artificial or otherwise, is simply something that can happen in a free economy. So is deflation, of course, but deflation tends to be bad for trade, so the world's current attempts to keep everyone rich revolve around artificial infinite inflation. Inflation, as a concept, isn't necessarily a problem; every currency on earth has suffered through it at some point. It's more of a consequence and a goal of economic policy than a disease to civilization. It's true, many collapses of civilizations have coincided with inflation events, but the economy is bound to collapse when a civilization collapses.

Turkey actually willingly let its currency deflate, with terrible results for the general population as prices for common items skyrocketed. Risking arbitrary spikes and dips in value isn't much better than the current system, in my opinion.
The actual generator has no moving parts. The "tanks" for storing the heat can be made from graphite, but the thermal battery made by combining the storage tank with the generator that they propose has to pump heat around using liquid tin (or perhaps liquid silicon) as the working fluid, at temperatures up to 2400C. That requires not just moving parts, but some pretty far out engineering. All of the metals we commonly build things like pumps out of are liquid at those temperatures, after all. And of course, you want pumps that run reliably for years in that hostile environment.
It’s highly likely it’s for that reason. Almost all fossil alternatives get these ”silver bullet” counter-arguments that don’t survive basic tests.

Example: ICE cars vs. Electric: electric cars need more resources to create and thus use more CO2 in reality!

Simple truth: initial energy cost might be high but battery-electric cars catch ICE cars in resource friendliness after only few years.

They just had to find one for wind turbines that was better than ”they are an eyesore”.

> Bitcoin's monetary policy is fixed. It is in nobody's hand, but everybody who decides to run a validating node.

My understanding is that bitcoins monetary policy can be changed through code, something a very small group is allowed to do in practice, even though theoretically it could be forked easily. Previous attempts at democratication of decisions have been prevented by various questionable tactics and by measures of share of computer power, something also held by very few people. Maybe this changed since I stopped paying attention to it, though.

> which are privately owned

Again, my understanding is that the reserve banks are some form of private entities but essentially owned by their governments (e.g., profits are transfered to them). Sites like the faq of the fed (https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm) and information about the german central bank seem to confirm that view so far.
I think most people believe that the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" precedent came from an actual case about someone yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater.

As opposed to being a hypothetical situation invented to justify the use of state violence to silence anti-war protestors. No one goes around saying "you can't be against a war!" when that is the actual precedent that was set in that case.
Another issue is that the actual, theoretical benefits of blockchain are very narrow.

Right now global financial system is much more stable than cryptocurrencies, and even if society collapses, Bitcoin is unlikely to take over or buy you anything. In practice, centralization is fine for most tasks, and even if something is decentralized it doesn’t always need blockchain.

Most problems can be solved with encryption, asymmetric encryption, torrenting, and consensus protocols. I honestly can’t think of any real situation where those aren’t enough and you need blockchain. (although i’m pretty sure blockchain is a combination of those…I should say, i can’t think of any real situation where things like BitTorrent aren’t enough)

And then that leads to all of blockchain’s drawbacks, mainly incredible space and computation redundancy. There are proposed and implemented ways to reduce this redundancy, but most of them actually end up redoing centralization. Even if we can somehow completely eliminate the redundancy and make blockchain almost as fast as centralization, like I mentioned, there’s still just not much benefit.

I’m not at the point where, whenever i hear blockchain, i throw my hands up and claim “useless”. Honestly, whenever I see something blockchain or web3, i usually read about it and try to see how it works. But surprisingly often I just find confusing filler text and buzzwords. And moreover, so far i’ve never found any technology where I actually thought both “this is useful” and “this needs blockchain”.
Mostly agree. Price has a higher weight than UX but a bad enough UX will succumb to reasonably priced competitors.

Anecdotally, privacy/security seem to be on the bottom of the stack. Platform support and necessity for work are above them all.
Because depth of field depends on focal length as well as f number. Or to put it another way, it depends on the absolute diameter of the aperture, not the ratio of the focal length to the aperture diameter (= the f number).

(Also, of course, you can't stop down on a phone camera as it has a fixed aperture.)
> I'd not be surprised if the husband intends to (or would) reuse it from its position on the counter, hence the entire dishwasher->cupboard cycle is superfluous from the husband's point of view.

Indeed. From the article:

> I might want to use it again.

I can tell you for a fact my dishwasher would run a whole lot less than 1/2 the time it does now, if I lived alone. Like, 1/4 as much. And that's just considering the wife, not the kids, like my usage solo vs. us before we had kids, and that's despite some things (dirty pots and pans) taking up more than 1/2 as much space as they do with two people. And it's not because I'd be doing more thorough hand-washing—I'd be doing a lot more re-using with a quick wipe, or maybe a brief run under the water, or even nothing at all (for, say, water cups). And yes, of course they'd stay on the counter (in the sink they'd get too gross to re-use, and they'd be in the way).
I'm really struck by how beautiful these end up being. Using common materials to create all those small spaces seems like a very cheap and accessible project. Are there any major design considerations? Presumably what sized spaces the local insect population prefers?
This is useful strategy in a "yes, and" capacity - take other action AND tarpit login attempts.

In some situations, the requirement might be locking the ability of an account to log in after X failed attempts over Y amount of time - say, 3 failed attempts in 5 minutes. Then it's necessary for the user to contact support/the sysadmin to unlock their account.
Shell has concatenative aspects: commands can be stacked while processing single data (command line) e.g.:

$ timeout 1h notify <event> send-telegram <message>

here's we send <message> if <event> occurs within an hour (3 commands: `timeout`, `notify`, `send-telegram`).
