No. Dry ice cleaning is nuts - you can calibrate the pressure and granular size to not damage the substrate. High end car blasters can clean 40 year old plastic and rubber parts with dry ice and make them look like new.
Are you certain that those really are compressed air jets? The thing I'm familar with are sanders – those are commonly operated via compressed air, too, but their goal isn't blasting contaminants off the track, but rather just getting sand onto the rails in order to improve adhesion.
Personally, I have exceptionally good factual recall and an extremely limited memory for personal experiences. I feel like I tend to have an unfiltered experience of the world, without any sort of mental commentary or projections similar to what you describe, and I believe that I read fairly quickly because I don't subvocalize.
To give a better context for my comment to OP, I began (again) practicing meditation early January this year by following the book The Mind Illuminated. I am now mostly working on stages 3 and 4 of the book. I noticed, in my mind, when I was using the technique Follow the Breath my mind chattering would mostly cease, not that I intentionally tried to suppress it. I still experience a kind of narration of what is happening in the moment.
Take a sabbatical. Maybe even stop work altogether and explore hands on hobbies for a period of time. Your wife should try to shoulder the health insurance.
Understanding the Public Sphere – Surviving the New Twitter, If It Happens
It would be very high overhead if different brain regions used an encoded form of spoken language as the communication protocol. For most of us, most of the time, the introspective portions of the brain responsible for consciousness may be re-interpreting the messages they observe as something language-like, but these portions of the brain almost certainly don't duplicate all of the language processing wiring necessary for the language centers of the brain to produce and interpret language.

In short, I suspect that the "language" of thought is likely mostly a post-hoc rationalization/interpretation performed by some parts of the brain.

Learning to read Chinese, I've many times had the experience of recognizing and understanding a character, but momentarily being unable to remember either the corresponding English or Mandarin words. (This usually happens when studying written Chinese tired after a long day of work.)

I'm biased, but I think even more interesting than the inner voice of dogs would be the inner voice of infants and toddlers. My young son is too young to speak or walk, or even appear to understand even one word. (Though, it's hard to tell; maybe he understands a handful of words.) Yet, he's clearly very curious about the world and seems to understand social interactions.
Haha, now that part is just sleight-of-hand. When you click (technically, mousedown) on the google doc link, we copy a new item to the pasteboard, so now instead of {"html": joker_image, "plaintext": card_you_picked}, it's {"html": joker_image_with_url_paste_hint, "plaintext": twitter_url}.

What disaster?
It's hard to tell whether you're being serious. This site is criticizing the response size of an http request to view one tweet, not the size of the actual tweet.

In the context of interplanetary communication, sending the tweet from a server on mars to a server on earth would be a tiny packet containing a payload no bigger than the char limit, and some metadata. Browsing the website on earth would fetch from the servers on earth, and might still be 100KB, but no one cares about optimizing that bandwidth usage.

Idk if this is that much different from the original telegram at this point though. Sending tiny messages using limited bandwidth between two places. Eventually we'll widen that bandwidth sufficiently, it's just latency that probably won't ever surpass the speed of light. Also the problem of timestamping tweets when relativity is involved.

> There is only one entity involved with both the ability and the standing to justly apply either defensive or retributive force in response to a threatened or actual infringement of their rights

Presumably your stance here is that the fetus does not have the ability to apply defensive or retributive force, and therefore has no right to it. This seems to suggest you hold a "might makes right" morality: If someone isn't able to defend themselves, then they have no right to. Taken to its logical end, wouldn't this imply that any murder would not be immoral, since if someone was not able to defend themself from murder, then there is no violation of the Non-Aggression Principle?
When the GC starts traversing the list of objects it fills the cache kicking out the previously cached things. This is a known performance problem in optimization. It's quite common. It also happens when having 2+ threads doing a lot of memory access.

And caches bring a whole cache line. So for every access, no matter how small, the minimum is 64 bytes are kicked out. Also the prefetch heuristics often bring more (e.g. next cache line).

There are cache control instructions but they are rarely used.

[0] Reducing Garbage Collector Cache Misses (2000) (HP) https://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2000/HPL-2000-99.pdf

> Cache misses are currently a major factor in the cost of garbage
collection, and we expect them to dominate in the future.
Traditional garbage collection algorithms exhibit relatively
little temporal locality; each live object in the heap is likely to
be touched exactly once during each garbage collection. We
measure two techniques for dealing with this issue: prefetch-ongrey, and lazy sweeping. The first of these is new in this
context. Lazy sweeping has been in common use for a decade.
It was introduced as a mechanism for reducing paging and
pause times; we argue that it is also crucial for eliminating
cache misses during the sweep phase.
I don't have an issue discovering something I would find interesting at any given moment in time, between subscribing to Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and HBO Max. And I have a few "add ons" on Amazon Prime as well. If anything, if I'm randomly looking for "something" to watch, I have more choice than I could ever need.

BUT... what is still frustrating as hell is that I pay for all these subscriptions, and if and when there is a time that I want to watch something very specific for whatever reason, it's probably 50/50 at best if that "something" will be included in a subscription I already pay for, or will require me to pay yet again. It really is starting to push me back to bittorrenting stuff again, as TFA talks about.

All of that said, if it's a movie I want to watch, and I'm pretty sure I will only ever want to watch it once, and its rental price on Prime is about $3-4, I don't mind so much doing a rental. And if anything, the option to rent movies like this is one thing that has been keeping me on Prime more than on Netflix lately. But if a movie isn't available on Prime, or costs too much to rent... hello KTorrent.

Why do you think this is the case? Some people can never get enough, i know some people who complain so much that you'd think they were living in the streets but their household income exceeds 500k, it is just a mentality thing.

Interesting mention about the docs. I see what you mean. I have been doing C# for over a decade and I guess that after a bit you are just blind to this kind of stuff. I guess it never "really" matter to me when coding, but I can see it as an annoyance on the documentation side. Perhaps Microsoft can do a better job of splitting static methods from instances on the docs.

Rapid Inflation, Lower Employment: How the U.S. Pandemic Response Measures Up
IIRC, ipfw is there too, but maybe a little less supported, not sure about FreeBSD's third firewall (ipfilter).

As with most of the stuff pulled from FreeBSD, it was pulled around the year 2000, usually with no updates from upstream, and often with few updates from Apple. Pf's synproxy doesn't really work on macos, and is unlikely to get fixed.
Cool dunk on the GP but it seems obvious that they didn't mean literally send the tweet to Mars as an HTML page with full Javascript bundle.
hes talking about just the text. Why on earth would anyone send that whole bundle back and forth. It would live on mars and you just update new tweets(texts).

> But surely there would be a great difference between milk produced on an industrial farm vs a small village with a few dairy cows?

No.

Come on, think. Why would it make any difference if the milk is from a small or big farm? Why do you think "a small village" is a less hospitable environment for pathogens than "an industrial farm"? Who do you think has more means to test the microbial load of their milk and decontaminate milking machines, animal areas etc? The large company or the small farmer?

This is just one more time the naturalistic fallacy: it's natural, from a village, so it must be healthier!

Well, it isn't. I don't know if you pay attention to dairy news items in the press. I do and every once in a while I find a news item about a batch of French raw milk cheeses being recalled because it was contaminated by some dangerous pathogen. This happens to small-scale dairies with a tiny production converting a few hundred liters of milk from their own farm-raised animals a day.

Except, when it happens to French cheesemakers, because they know their shit, they perform routine tests on their products, and they won't let them reach the consumer and cause disease.

But if you trust the "Real Milk" clowns, who happily claim that raw milk is 100% risk free and it never causes any trouble, then you're just flying blind.
It's probably about the font just being well designed, having consistent kerning ans whatnot.

Same as with design guidelines. Every couple years something new comes along and is better than anything before.

We had an intern a few years ago who was still working on his masters and also made some money on the side with "web stuff". He wouldn't stop talking about material design, how it is the best ever and how every margin and padding is scientifically proven to be perfect to the pixel, the blue they picked is perfection, how rounded corners and 3D effects on buttons are fatiguing to the eye, and so on and so on. I guess it was the first time this fellow consciously witnessed the release of a web design framework. It was near impossible to convince him that using bootstrap is just as good, and while certain rules for ratios between paddings, margins and font sizes exist it's much more important your theme is consistent, and that you apply it consistently.
Didnt work for me. Firefox on MacOS
Well, he decided that the whole world shouldn't hear about how the original founders of Tesla were removed and replaced with Musk. However, I can appreciate the distinction between muting people on your own threads vs removing people from the entire platform.
Okay, fair enough. I'll restate my original post, with a couple modifications which you correctly called me on.

VR doesn't really enable new experiences that people actually want in significant amounts. Tilt Brush has a couple dozen daily users[1] (remarkably consistent; demo stations, I wonder?). Beat Saber seems to be the one VR exclusive game that truly has been a lasting success, holding steady around 1000 to 2000 daily users on Steam and surely more on PlayStation. Maybe that's a clue that there's something there (I think it indicates more the popularity of rhythm games a la Guitar Hero, and a paucity of other VR titles worth playing). But I think if there really was something compelling about VR, we would have seen more than one successful game in the five years since VR has been on the market. Big names like Valve and Sony would have increased their VR resources, not mostly abandoned it. There just isn't good evidence that those couple things VR is genuinely capable of are something people actually want, and it's not like the big names didn't make an effort.

My point about the VR software market being dead is that there hasn't been a VR application worth talking about since 2020, with Half-Life Alyx. Everything they're putting out now[2] just looks like more of the bland flat-screen-with-Wii-controls experiences we've been seeing for five years. The gaming sites I follow don't really even bother doing VR reviews anymore. There just isn't significant work going on in this ecosystem, outside of Facebook.

It depends. Obviously a lot of effort by certain monopolistic advertising companies have gone into ensuring the web platform is increasingly opaque and difficult to manage or monitor, but it's entirely in the purview of a network owner to disable or block anything that can't be inspected to satisfaction.
100,000% this.

If I could get the navigation and analysis (go to def/decl/parent/etc., show/jump to uses/children/impls/etc.) all on its own, without auto-complete, type hints, or syntax highlighting, I'd be a pretty happy camper.

I'm fine with features that are on-demand (on-demand completion, type info, actions, etc.). They add occasional value without distraction.

About the only other things I care about in a development environment are compile output navigation (optionally with isolated warnings & errors, but full output is mandatory), configurable run and tooling integration (doesn't need to be close integration, either, just flexible and configurable).

Gravy/Frosting (depending upon your preferred metaphor) would be debugger and documentation integration. Both are hard to do well, and can usually be accomplished using a decent run/tooling interface.
The manager failed at his job to steer the team into solving those issues.

The team's failure has a direct relation with the management failing to act upon the issues until it was too late to actually try to sort them out.

So yeah, management failure in all its glory.

Really good article on zoning in Japan: http://urbankchoze.blogspot.com/2014/04/japanese-zoning.html

I think it's a bit of both, it's not viewed as as much of an investment therefore zoning laws are lax, which mean that housing can't become an investment because anyone can build (up to) anything on a lot.

Very interesting takeaways regarding different results among old and young:

> The takeaway is that, if your designers are younger than 35 years but many of your users are older than 35, then you can’t expect that the fonts that are the best for the designers will also be best for the users.

> the differences in reading speed between the different fonts weren’t very big for the young users. Sure, some fonts were better, but they weren’t much better. On the other hand, there were dramatic differences between the fastest font for older users (Garamond) and their slowest font (Open Sans). In other words, picking the wrong font penalizes older users more than young ones.
Musk has seen production hell. This is a different kind. Good luck Elon. Make good on your promises.

EDIT:
What I will be watching for is what Elon will do when freedom of speech is at odds with a big chunk of revenue. He is investing a boatload of money and at his philanthropic worst, he would like to break even in a few years.
Another trick is to listen to your favorite songs at a very low volume -- loud enough so you can still hear them, but quiet enough so that you can't quite make out the lyrics or the melody. After a while of this kind of listening, your mind will fill in the gaps in a creative way.

This is great for getting inspiration for music making, as what you hear will have a strong resemblance to what you already like, but will be different in subtle and interesting ways.
BTW, the only corruption I've run into with sqlite is plug-pullers with transaction frames still open, killing a debug session, the usual shenanigans that are improper with basic NTFS.
> Don't have white as a background.

That reduces contrast, which makes text harder to read for me. Today’s prevalent IPS displays have a rather low contrast ratio (typically only 1:1000). Please don’t lower it further by styling text as dark gray on light gray. If black on white looks too bright, you probably have set your screen brightness too high.
I don't want to derail the conversation, but OPs career path really stood out to me.

He graduated in 2016, worked at Google in Bay Area, and now is joining a startup at a VP level.

I graduated in 2008, obtained a PhD in 2014 in a no name EU university, worked in odd companies for a while and joined FAANG 4 years ago as a mid level developer, where I am still ATM.

Looking at this disparity I wonder what could be possible explanations:

* OP is a beast and has grown very quickly in a short time.

* I'm particularly inept and I'm growing very slowly.

* Working in the right conditions (e.g. Bay Area, Big Tech, right team) can greatly accelerate your growth.

* Startups have a big title inflation.
This post feels like author is insecure about his position and wants to establish some validity. Having going through it all, it feels delusional at best.

The glorified pattern matching can only take us so far. You know it's working as long as there is a pattern. I wouldn't call it a general intelligence per se. There is no "juice" in these algorithms.

If we use these tools, we can immediately see where they fail and where they do not. These are just a new tools in software engineer's box.

Yes, if you use a non-default setting carefully isolated from the Settings menu on its own menu with a non-intuitive icon, it behaves differently.

If he's earnestly serious about colonizing Mars (I have serious doubts), then investing in influence over political discourse seems prudent. There are many who will oppose any attempt to set up colonies on Mars, for numerous reasons.
>wants to fight about politics or other wedge issues

It's always so funny that this is brought up on HN as a reason for lack of socialization or problem so often. One of the biggest and most durable parts of my social life is being a member of a political party, which I have been in since I was 16 years old.

Being involved in civic/political life means you have connections with people from all walks of life across all generations and backgrounds. just wanting to chill is the actual problem because I don't think these suburban soccermom type social circles sustain meaningful relationships. Participating in public life is the most straightforward way to build social relationships that matter.

There was another great post here a few weeks ago from someone explaining why he continues to serve in the British Yeomanry. https://chrisseaton.com/army/
If I move to Mars and my only contact with Earth is via Twitter over Starlink in Elon’s Hyperverse, then I think I’ll take my chances with the climate catastrophe on Earth. Death would be more merciful.
In general, yes, I think that would be okay. I think it would be a mistake to create separate sections for each level. Overall your achievements within a single company should not be organized chronologically, but by what you want to show off. This may still be mostly chronological as you take on more responsibility/leadership.

Now, I don't object to adding a line like: "promoted twice from Software Engineer 2 to Staff Software Engineer" or whatever, which I think is a good middle ground (and I would put this as the very last, least important entry for that company)
I purposefully left abortion out off the list because I agree with you, the entire idea of when life begins is a moral stance and everyone believes in the “right for someone not to take someone’s else’s life”. It’s just a matter of how you define “life”. I can argue both sides.

But every position I argued in my original post is about giving the government less power over people that objectively doesn’t affect someone else.
I didn’t say I assume it by default. I just said statistically it’s more likely
Then just .. don’t use private relay if you don’t want it?

The problem being reported hear is a VPN provider (or their firewall rules?) aren’t interacting well with what is fundamentally another firewall/vpn.

I’m not sure what the usual expected behavior is when you have multiple conflicting vpn+firewall products?

Also as far as I can make out private relay isn’t a vpn? It protects http[s], and for https I don’t know if it operates outside of safari?

I appreciate the fancy language conspiracy nonsense, but please look at actual facts:

* this is not free - it is part of the paid iCloud services afaik

* it is opt in - you have to decide you want to use this, they’re not just hoovering everything, which gets to

* even if they were hoovering everything, unlike a vpn, private relay is actually private

If you are trying to conceal yourself, VPNs services are routinely found to be logging what they say they aren’t, and fundamentally all traffic through a VPN can be logged by them. Private relay is strictly better privacy guarantees for connections that go through it rather than the VPN.

This provider points out a reasonable issue: they have added rules to simply block some connections entirely, and it seems like PR should respect that - but as I said above, I don’t know what the usual expected behaviour for operating multiple VPNs and firewalls concurrently is?

finally apple documents explicitly how you can disable iCPR completely, regardless of user setting.
>when I realized that some people really do have a "voice in their head" and it's not just a movie thing that they use for lazy storytelling.

For some of us it's quite literal, and goes by the term subvocalization.

I know that I, for one, when speaking to myself, sometimes am doing it through little breathy throat quasi-vocalizations, like I'm beginning to say a word that I'm mentally saying.

I wonder at my ability to carry on an internal mental monolog without it.
