Reader also had a really good discover quality where I could see stories that were not in my subscribed feeds and because it had a such a large user base, the algorithms got pretty good at showing me stuff I wanted to see. I visit HN for a similar reason, so be exposed to stuff outside of my normal sources. Google reader did this too but with broader scope.

edit: I'll note that if google reader were still around today, its likely the discover algorithm would have been corrupted by bots and trolls and growth seeking managers at google. But back then this hadn't happened yet so it all worked pretty good.
Fun! Made it from CRI to CAP with 2% fuel remaining :-)

I fly like this, any suggestions?

- decide which base you want to fly to and rotate your craft in that direction.

- blast off until V-speed of +40ish, while simultaneously going full forward (unless you have a mountain just in front, obviously, as for example when you fly from PTO to PAR, or MAG to PRB). H-speed cuts of at 30 automatically.

- that should take you up to around 70 [units], cruising full forward. That seems to be high enough to avoid obstacles.

- when V-speed drops to -5, take it back up to +5, in other words, 0 +/- 5.

- observe the map, and when the base approaches, correct the heading.

- at some point now, you should see the base lights in the window. Aim there.

- don't decrease horizontal speed prematurely, it'll cost you fuel to stay up. And don't decrease altitude prematurely, it'll make it harder to see the base in the scope.

- consider the cross on the map as a distance measure. When you are two crosses away, start taking H-speed down slowly. When you're one cross away, H-speed 10 works.

- once you see the base in the scope, you can do fine-tuning, arrest H-speed, and descend. As JKC mentioned, avoid any horizontal speed when touching down. Try to keep V-speed > -5, at the latest when the ALT light turns on. (Touch down V-speed > -3 is very smooth, > -6 is ok, < -9 is a crash.)

- rule of thumb: keep V-speed > -altitude.

The feature I missed the most when writing PHP was something like a pipeline operator to easily chain functions.

I can sense this is written to make it sound cool and appealing.

i.e. this is clearly a form of advertising.
That's a strange thing to do, in my opinion. That makes me want to put my Github (which is half half-baked nonsense, including this stupid `hello.S` from when I was barely learning amd64) on the resume. I do anyway, but it is now a reason to double down.

After all, if my hiring manager can't correctly evaluate which code is toy and which code is real (I have both on my Github), I don't trust his competence and I want to not talk to him so it is important that he filter me out. This way, my time is not wasted with incompetents.
I _think_ this maybe gets the relationship backwards.

Under the previous austerity, low gov't spending regime following the financial crisis, wages and employment stagnated. Large numbers of low income workers took on part-time or contracting work to make ends meet. The low-demand environment kept prices low (inflation stayed below 2%), but also disincentivized expanding capacity.

If demand had been maintained during the financial crisis through government spending, we may have seen slightly higher inflation during that period (closer to the 2% goal the Central Banks target), but the higher demand would also create the incentive to invest more and expand capacity.

Companies are seeing that incentive now, but it's happening as a sharp adjustment rather than a more gradual and steady growth curve. It's also happening at a point when post-pandemic shocks and wars are further disrupting supply.
Is this using Guacamole for its VNC client? In college [2012] I ran Guacamole on my home server for RDP remoting into my desktop PC from a Chromebook, and the performance was excellent. Curious to see what the experience is like with more newfangled Cloud Native stuff.

My impression is that twitter has algorithms to try to maximize "engagement", and by "engagement", I mean conflict. I follow very few people, and the people I follow post things that are tech-related... But twitter will regularly try to show me inflammatory political tweets. These tweets are not coming from people I follow. I'm careful not to take the bait, but twitter definitely does try to bait you.
With ayahuasca, it is critical to work with a knowledgeable plant medicine practitioner. The ceremony leader makes a huge difference in the experience. A very good plant medicine practitioner can control the tone of the entire experience for every single person. They can guide you into various emotional states through traditional Icaros or through nontraditional medicine songs, while ensuring that the ceremony setting remains psychologically safe for everyone. It's quite magical what a trained ayahascera/o can do to help navigate these mind states.

Conversely, an untrained or despotic ceremony leader can create an unsafe setting, and can lead vulnerable people right into psychotic-like states.
I filter it a bit differently. There are enough people who will check out new language X; I don't have to. If it has merit, I'll keep hearing about it. Sure, I'll miss out on using X the first year or two out of the gate, but I don't actually need that. Yes, if X is all it's cracked up to be, I could have benefited from using it in that year or two. On the other hand, I didn't waste time learning a bunch of new languages trying to find the one that would be more useful than what I already have.
So, about $1299 if we go by the Twitter tweet NFT resale value?
As long as the “pro sensible” regulation is about subsidizing his companies.
Nah I’ve done a number of things not a ton, and I tend to avoid things where risks far outweigh the benefits, which nictotine fits neatly in. Especially in some of the more established delivery methods.

At least the psychedelics I’ve tried have given me some entertainment and introspection, weed is useful for chilling out and relaxing and has proved to at times be a surprisingly powerful sleep aid for me. Shit even alcohol is extremely useful as a social lubricant, despite being a terrible substance healthwise.

Nicotine (notable nicotine delivered via tobacco and particularly cigarettes) gives me, something to do with my hands for a few minutes and makes me a bit less anxious and fidgety (caused by withdrawal anyway) but comes with significant cancer and cardiovascular risks.

I guess as far as other stuff I tried that I just felt sucked, coke probably sits up there, but I’m pretty sure it was cut to hell the one time I tried it.

To be a little less disingenuous for a second, someone else mentioned nootropic benefits, but I still doubt the benefits outweigh the health risks.
> I'm not even sure I'd write tests for any project not meant for production or anyone else's use

See that's interesting— I'm far from a testing-absolutist, and I agree with the basic premise here that there's no point having an elaborate "testing" strategy for a one-off script, stuff that isn't very branchy, etc.

However, there's also some stuff that I basically always write a trivial unit test for, assuming the language is set up to allow me to do so cheaply. Obvious examples of this include any kind of string processing, parsing, or regex-type logic— I'm just like, this looks fragile, and I'd like to know for me that it does what I think it does and I'm not going to be tripped up later by some subtle bug that boiled down to an edge case in this particular piece of trivially-isolated and testable logic.
I think there is a clear distinction between trying something new that no one has done before and trying something that many other people have attempted before and failed.

For example, was Tesla a success because of some unique ingenuity by Musk? It seemed to me that his success was more the result of a commitment, both personally and financially, to building EVs that no one had previously had. Yes, that eventually led to success. But he didn't succeed were others tried and failed. He succeeded were the other auto manufacturers didn't even try because of their own bias towards the status quo. With Twitter he would need to succeed where every other social media platform has failed.
The risk is that Twitter will become owned by a single person with a strong personality. You may agree with Musk's agenda. But he does have an agenda.
For some mysterious reason, no one, including you, gets specific about what type of content and memes will now be allowed.
I prefer to ask the applicant to either submit code that they are proud of, or to do a small toy problem if they don't have anything they can readily share. Then we talk through their code during the interview, asking them questions like: what problem were you trying to solve, did you solve it, what problems did you run into along the way, how would you design this code differently, and of course any specific questions if we find glaring technical issues in their code.

I've found this approach to have a very high signal-to-noise ratio as it's virtually impossible for someone to talk at depth about their code if they don't know what they're doing. Also, you can't study for this type of interview, so you can't game the system.
I have an SGI price sheet from July 1993. A 4xR4400/150Mhz, 64MB Onyx RealityEngine2 went for $199,999. Adding 64MB RAM cost another $11,000. The GE board had 12 i860 processors. The big rack-based system w/ 24 CPUs was $634,900.

And people complain about the prices of GPUs nowadays...
I think I have a decent CV, with quite a bit of experience for a master's student. I have been searching for a job in MLE, for a bit now with very little to show for it, as I am either getting no responses, or responses claiming that they are looking for more experienced people, and particularly those that had experience with a particular stack.

In all honesty, after 6 years of studying, with 4 of those years studying ML, to be told that I lack experience with some particular stack as the ~~excuse~~ reason for rejection feels like a slap in the face.

And all that ignoring everything that expects 3+ years experience for entry level positions.

You are talking about 2 commodities that can easily be upgraded: logging and UX. Hell, I wouldn’t even waste too many precious resources on improving those things past a point.

Google has massive data and scaling advantages that can never be duplicated or fixed by smaller companies.
Exactly, so why expect him to fix Twitter's issues?
I had a moderately successful Twitter profile years ago. Few thousand followers, good engagement, etc, but left after awhile because of the effort and the fact that I was no longer in a position that benefited from minor social media stardom. I recently returned with a new account and holy crap the toxicity within the crazy-silo’d communities is off the chains.

It’s not a fun place to be if you aren’t specifically using it to advance your own agenda. Occasionally I will end up on Twitter to read a thread linked from somewhere else, but if I’m forced to log in to read I always close the tab and move on with my day…
Doctrine Collections similarly solves this.
I click on a card, hit "paste" in the window, and get text I've previously copied.

I'm guessing it's not working ... it's certainly not doing what I expect, even at that stage.
You are right but there is something that has to underpin all of this advice and that is openness, honesty and balance.

Openness because you should be able to communicate why something might not be possible in unambiguous terms; honesty so people know they can trust you and that you will tell people the truth and not try and avoid it; and balance because you will be prepared to go some distance for an employee for the benefit of the business but this is not unlimited.

It can be hard to tell someone they are not performing well but it is much easier with those principles in mind, "I think these are areas that you are not performing well in, if I can help you achieve those then please let me know how, otherwise I need someone who can do this job that you were employed to do".
all 3 of those sites do moderate.
9-5 jobs suffer from a lot of things all the time, it's sort of what managers already expect of employees, to be actually productive maybe 3-4 hours a day. Whether one is using the rest of time on water cooler politics, checking Instagram, playing games, or doing another job, it's not necessarily as visible in the overall productivity as you may expect it to be. Especially with well organized people smart enough not to set the bar too high in the beginning.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Twitter is probably the best social media platform for interplanetary communication, where low bandwidth and delayed transmission are fundamental bottlenecks, and both limitations are considered part of the appeal (character limitations and a format where you simply disperse messages and have no real notion of when they'll be received).

In that case, I wonder if the monetization will ultimately be based on latency and message size: pay more for your message to be sent from Mars in the next transmission, and pay more to send a larger message. Locally, I wonder if Twitter will be tied to starlink in some fashion.

If this does become some kind of interplanetary messaging system, I wouldn't be surprised if other technologies are built around it. Maybe Dorsey's decentralization attempt will be used as the infrastructure for the free tier of Twitter, and starlink is the infrastructure for the paid version (pay more to send faster, or to another planetary body).

Edit: I can imagine a rebuilt backend that's decentralized across large (planetary?) regions, where messages are just the tweet content & metadata and passed between nodes. Very efficient, and the non-technical user already has the right expectations.
Have you actually ever watched an interview with him or just hot takes from Reddit?

Because if you had ever watched a full, unedited interview with him you’d be too embarrassed to post what you just did. He’s a pretty humble guy.

One of the best interviews with him was the one he did with the Babylon Bee - you should watch it; it’s up on Youtube.

It's not leaves on the line that are in a pile, it's leaves on the line that get smashed onto the rail, and make the already low friction rails even lower friction. If you can't stop and you can't go, then the railroad isn't going to take you anywhere.

This is a gift to the world, so they aren't selfish. You are demanding, and you have no right to demand anything of random strangers on the Internet. Nobody is required to market their work as you demand, or even try very hard to seek new users. Often, slow growth is better.

Maybe someone not on the team will write a decent review of the language, and we will find out more. Hopefully that person will read the documentation and actually try out the language.
Perhaps I phrased it poorly; what I meant to emphasize is that the refusal does not take any extra steps.

Of course entering a contract, requiring some form of online payment, will take more steps than not entering one.
System VPN is a privileged process and it's quite possible that it uses raw networking, for efficiency or other implementation reasons. You'd also see that any Linux process with CAP_NET_RAW "ignores" iptables. It's good to keep in mind the inherent limitations of in-system software firewalls.
If you can improve the general signal/noise ratio I think that'd be big for advertisers. I think it's one of snap's strengths actually.
This started interesting but then devolved into lines like:

I'm not a behavioral expert, and I don't use tiktok, but I know people who do use it daily, almost as soon as they wake up even. I think the speed and short blasts of visual information acts as sort of a desensitizer to certain content, like if I said to you, in short 5 second bursts "facts", you might retain the 35th "fact" and not question it because you're already on the 50th "fact".

I often am told certain things that might or might not be true, but are often couched in true things. The one i heard the other day was a long list of mandela effects, now some of them were true, but often had context around them that wasn't given ... e.g. Pikachu not having the black stripe on its tail, that could easily have context with regards to time that picture was used, lore in pokemon..etc. but it's reduced to a far more simple "fact"

If you've been using something like Evernote or Emacs outliner, you may have experienced an early version from its beginnings. There's a a rise of new outliners and notetaking tools based on bi-directional linking, which facilitate a style of workflows dedicated to compiling related ideas that appear in very different contexts. This makes it easier to group them together to generate a bottom-up structure of concepts that allows you to organise your ideas and personal projects into larger and larger structures.
It is really a revelation that love is what makes life meaningful?

There is a sweet naivete to a study like this, it invites compassion.

Analyzing happiness with this cold academic rigor is just absurd, it is like a depressed species of alien studying our planet to figure out why people have happy lives. "Is it genes?" the cold, analytical mind ponders. It is kind of funny, yet it is tragic, and so it invites a response.

Yes, love makes life worth living. Not just relationships, but love, in its many varied forms. If you are reading this, I love you. To Ivy League scientists and their objects of study, I love you as well. You see, God is love, this is a simple truth found in scripture. Surround yourself in love at all times, and you will lead a life that is satisfying and resplendent in joy.

As a footnote, the linked-to article is mostly nonsense. If you want to learn math:

- Work on good problems

- Once you've struggled for a bit, go back and look up how to do them

Yes, this includes problems you don't have prerequisites for and have no chance of solving. You shouldn't start by watching videos or explainers until you've struggled. There's a pile of science behind this.
I have this beef too. Tooling for dumping and restoring into a new schema are easy/simple/fast. So, these schema migrations can happen w/o issue. Some tricks with the PRAGMA directive in SQLite so you can roll out changes (eg: code supports old/new schema while migrating)

I more meant the timing of it, I think if it wasn't for Tesla we may be looking at another 5-10 years for electric vehicles.

It is entirely possible another company would have come out and taken Tesla's place. But I just don't see the main car companies having tried it yet if it wasn't for Tesla (or another well funded EV that was that bullish).
Is there any programming language that changed so much as people that know the initial versions will not be able to understand the latest one? This is my impression about PHP and I cannot remember a single other such case. My memories go back to the 80's (Basic, Pascal, Cobol, SQL), I am not familiar with the current state of C, but my feeling is that the latest PHP and the original PHP share little more than the name.

Ask HN: What apps or browser extensions do you use to read articles quicker?
I often find that at the end of each day I've saved roughly 5-20 articles. I keep them in my Roam graph, but I rarely go back and read them.

The issue isn't that I have a lack of quality links. That's more the problem than anything. Instead of hoarding these and never actually reading them, I was wondering if there are tools out there that can help me digest articles more quickly? I think that's why I don't read them. I just don't have the time.

There seems to be a lot of mobile apps that attempt to solve this problem, but I've found their summaries lacking quite a bit.

I've also tried apps like Speechify that turn articles into audio. It works fine, but it still suffers from robotic like interpretation, and it's still the entire article, often taking longer to listen to than read.

Does anyone use a tool, technique, chrome extension, etc. to read more articles during the day?
