Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, happiness, etc. buy things because they bring you joy. At least in this market you aren’t out much if a car does not make you get that feeling inside. For me my nice car is a beautiful work of engineering and art. It represents the cool things we can build as humans and reminds me I need to keep doing that myself (building, creating). It may sound trite, but it inspires me and brings me happiness in its own way. But it is the more subtle long term kind. Satisfaction is maybe a better word. And I do drive and use it. It’s time will come and go :)

Great summary, great lessons, definitely something worth fully digesting and internalizing.

But to be fair (and pedantic), at least one is untrue.

> • Handy measure: the distance between your fingertips of your outstretched arms at shoulder level is your height.

Ape Index = the difference between your arm span at shoulder level and your height. In other words, a +6" Ape Index means your arm span is 6 inches more than your height.
> The rest of the economy is primarily services - which have very little impact from the supply of screws & toasters coming out of China going down.

That feels intuitively correct to me, but I’d like to see some data. For example the shampoos and ointments and such used in hair and nail salons all comes from China. OTOH essentially all restaurant food is domestic.
I feel it a bit. I really recommend buying (or listening to the free audio book) Andrew Yang's The War On Normal People. It looks bleak. But you know, when something happens to everyone it softens the pill a lot. Kids born today or 20 years from now won't feel so bad being unemployed because it willl feel normal by then.
Usually information can be used against you, but the absence does not.
Running is actually bad for you. Health is not the same as Fitness. The more you run, the more you risk long term damage. I know a lot of people reading this will disagree. In response I say: read "Body by Science".
> If you want reproducibility, it takes ~30 minutes just to resolve dependencies for relatively small-but-not-toy-sized projects.

I will be the first to complain about Python packaging, but 30 minutes is far far beyond anything I have experienced.
Rural installations are most common, by far. Maybe you mean they are being paid for by urban users?
Make sure you can afford the maintenance and are willing to drive the wheels off of it. I drive mine often, especially road trips and fun weekend rides. But just infrequently enough that it feels good to sit down in it and crank it up. I have enjoyed many cars over the years and when we could afford a nicer one we did so.
I also don't agree that it doesn't come up on HN. If we look at all the recent Ruby threads:

Five hours ago, we were asked "Is Rails still relevant", and one answer is that crystal is a better option: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31170481

Three days ago, we had a post on Sorbet and multiple replies push people back to
Crystal:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31159010

And another thread thirty days ago about Stripe's use of Ruby has multiple suggestions people use crystal:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30833555

The pattern goes back a long way and /r/ruby sees regular announcements for new Crystal releases. On this thread someone notes they had a Crystal talk at Ruby conference.

I refer to these because it's appears that several people in this thread have noted a lack of hype and interest, but I feel there's a lot of hype - it's just that it seems to be heavily directed at the existing Ruby users which may not be excited just because it "looks like Ruby".

I can't take my existing Rails apps and just compile them with Crystal. If I'm going to use a different language, a whole range of options exist. I'd consider Elixir, Clojure, Rust or Python. Meanwhile, there are plenty of people pushing me not to use Ruby over concerns about performance, typing, and things that Crystal claims to solve. If the Crystal community wants to reach those, they need to be aware of who is currently avoiding Ruby and thus the current outreach.
The account “tosh” does this pretty regularly.
> But why is everyone and their dog still using proof of work? Large nations worth of power is being burnt to process all the others.

Are you sure that's an argument not to use 'cryptocurrencies' (since you tried to label all of them as 'burning up the planet' which that was debunked) or was that more to do with those using PoW? It's like asking 'Why is everyone and their dog still driving diesel and petrol cars and trucks, with those still emitting tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, despite the existence of greener alternatives?

> Regulation, even bans will only disrupt the price, push wallets offshore. While there's an anonymous currency you can throw around, accept K&R payments through, it's going to be popular with tax cheats and criminals for a very, very long time.

That's the same way of saying that they are not going away 100% guaranteed and there will be lots of regulatory compliance; exactly what I already said. That's why mining PoW cryptocurrencies are banned in countries like China [0] and Kosovo [1]. Instead with regulations, it is going to get a lot harder for tax cheats, criminals, etc to use their privacy coins as the exchanges will delist them to prevent undesirables from converting it to fiat.

Aerogels tend to be fairly brittle, but more recent innovations make them probably work.

Fundamentally they are defined when you remove a solvent from a gel supercritically. High temperatures or pressures. Not very friendly for organics, but probably could work with a polymer.

Of course if you just want a low density polymer with air in it that's just styrofoam. The organic part is the interesting bit, and organic stuff usually has better strength due to multi-dimensional patterning whereas an aerogel would tend to have a single structure throughout.
> if the bank owns the land as in a mortgage

In the US at least, mortgages are on both the land and the buildings.

Getting easy details like this wrong suggest that you don't actually understand how property works.

I get that you have a theory with properties that you and some equations, but that doesn't imply that your equations accurately reflect reality.

Absolutely an algorithmic issue and your comment about edge cases is spot on. But when the algorithm flags an edge case, whatever happened to manual review by a human? In this case, any human looking at this transaction would have found nothing unusual.

I'm pretty sure there is a Black Mirror episode where someone ends up becoming an "edge case" and it all goes downhill from there. I haven't actually watched it but have read about it referenced in many similar contexts so maybe someone knows the actual episode.
> the Fed rate hike (well, and QT, which it is expected to also deploy) is the only tool it has available to deal with inflation

And the signalling of aggressive hiking, though not all at once, is very important. By saying they will do it and then following through they can change course in a few months depending on conditions.

One of the important lessons from the 1970s was but unfortunately positive feedback loop baked into inflation escalators all based on expectations plus the only way to break the cycle was Carter to recruit Voelker to basically shut things down to damn that curve. Since then the Fed has used an interesting combination of oracular opacity alternating with clarity to try to prevent a repeat of the 1970s situation.
It's actually better than "return to form", for once Apple has embraced 'form follows function' with more ports (even 'legacy' HDMI), magsafe power, and a chunky body, rather than function fit into form.

Displaying a character on an e-ink display can be low latency, it's deleting a character that takes time (or vice versa, depending on the chemistry and fore/background inversion).
Thanks, I honestly had never considered wind instruments. My only experience with a wind instrument was playing one of those cheap plastic recorders in elementary school.

That bit about them being good with people with ADHD reminded me of a friend I had in university. She had ADHD, and had been playing the saxophone since she was 14 or 15, and said that she found it very relaxing.

I keep coming back to this idea of learning an instrument every year or so, and the last time I thought about it I was considering the violin. I absolutely love the sound of it. But I might have to give this some thought, because apparently I've just been ignoring an entire family of instruments.
As sibling says. If it cannot be accessed starting from any of the GC roots, it is by definition unreachable and will be "cleaned up". What is meant by "cleaned up" varies with GC implementations.

Debian is wonderful but I’m not sure how I feel about their LTS support basically being only volunteers. As opposed to Ubuntu or Redhat that have FTE doing support.
This and some other comments definitely are reminiscent of the effect of the "Cahiers de doléances"[1][2], aka "Books of Grievances". Ahead of the outbreak of Revolution, King Louis XVI of France sent out a call for feedback from his people of all levels of society. He genuinely meant well, but largely it just got the people thinking about all the things that were wrong with society, which only fueled public anger in the face of the looming crisis and made thing worse! Eventually this anger would see the nation abandon the Ancien Regime in a similar manner - it was a "broken service" and they metaphorically "cancelled their subscription" to the system.

I think there's actually a lot of other lessons to be learned from this effort - anyone looking to try and gather feedback should look at how it went over in 1789 France.

For me it's a fairly seamless blend of "local cloud" and "remote cloud" development, with terminal and editor windows that open into real and virtual machines.
Are you running x86 containers or ARM containers? I’m on a 64GB M1 and my x86 container build takes 15 mins from scratch on the M1, 10 mins from scratch on my 2019 Intel MBP, but the ARM container build takes 6 mins on the M1. With or without the Docker pain the battery life is so worth it. Can spend 2 days working from the couch without plugging it in.

Not sure what you’re talking about. 10-K filings are produced by companies, not by the SEC.
Peak = never observed, but calculated from clock speed * bus width. Much like
the speed of light, you'll never see it.

That number for the M1 Ultra (from the OP's post) = 800GB/sec. McCalpin's stream benchmark is often cited as a practical/useful number for usable bandwidth using a straight forward implementation in C or Fortran without trying to play games, much like the vast majority of codes out there.

Also note that the x86-64's in the world use a strict memory model that results in a lower fraction of observed bandwidth vs peak. Arm has a looser memory model which achieves a higher fraction of peak.

Ha, I've had two companies ask me for a 1h and even 2h(!) timeslot do discuss my feedback in depth. In return they'll give me a 20$ gift certificate. I actually worked for a competitor of them for a while, my feedback would have been insanely valuable.
Garmin GPS watches use "transflective" displays that are always-on, daylight-readable LCDs with an optional backlight for use at night. They're not as glossy as an Apple watch, but the battery can last for a month in some modes!
Children are also eligible for flu vaccines within their first year of life. A flu can be very dangerous for a young child.

This isn't peddling fear. Why have we normalized illnesses that we can otherwise prevent or avoid?
One thing that I think could be updated in the 12F approach is the use of env vars for config, especially secrets.

I’ve generally found it much better to mount these into the filesystem and read from there. It helps with, for example, secret rotation for long running processes. Relying on process restarts can be ugly in some setups, especially if startup time is expensive.

> doing nothing

Every person I know who earns well "working" for 2 to ten hours a week spends a good fraction of their "free" time doing things that make those hours hyper productive.

It could be as direct as a developer working on software side projects. More often, it's tangential. Working on demanding problems. Comfort with the unfamiliar. Mind you, none of this is done for that purpose. But when you watch someone who couldn't keep their office plants alive for ten minutes noodle, for a week, through designing and building a smart irrigation and remote soil chemistry monitoring system for a backyard pot farm, it makes sense why, when they look at a problem in a domain they're experts in, decades of parameter space can be searched and resolved in seconds.

Or the Air France thing that's now on the front page. In a Boeing 777.

Poor training is poor training. Physical feedback is not a safety benefit. It sounds nice in theory but in practice doesn't do much. You can easily say the same thing about A vs B thrust levers, look at that Sriwijaya Air crash. The Boeing design sounds more intuitive until you look at crashes where the feedback didn't do a single thing to help the pilots or avoid a crash.
most lime comes from limestone, extracted by quarries/mines- although sometimes it is sourced from coral

the process of producing lime can involve a number of not-very-sustainable steps, hopefully which can be substituted for more environmentally responsible alternatives
Risk doesn't add value. Production does. Stocks rise as the company is perceived as more valuable, generally due to productive gain.

People don't want to risk investing without expected gain. But the risk is not causing growth.
It can though. Calls into C code or blocking network calls release the GIL. If you care about performance you probably want to be calling down into C anyway.

Random people email me all the time (at least 3-5 times per week, even now) with information about bugs/feature requests, or just to say hi/thanks and show off their projects made with it.

Comparing my site (https://espotek.com) to yours, yours is much more "corporate" looking and doesn't explicitly invite contact.

I've seen other people advertising their CRMs and whatever in the comments, but perhaps it's just as simple as openly acknowledging that you're one guy, the business is your personal project and people shouldn't hesitate to contact you.
Farmers are placing them mounted vertically, like fences, in productive fields, running north/south, far enough apart to run a tractor between. They pick up power in morning and afternoon. The crops benefit from reduced heat stress and water loss, and yield more.

If you aim to be early, sometimes you’ll be on time.

And if you aim late you’ll be late.

So the only certainty is found by being late.
My city has banned drones within city limits, for pretty good reason I think - the noise alone is enough to make them a plague on any busy public space. This kind of cheap quick to deploy device could permanently change people’s expectations and lead to bigger drones everywhere. With that in mind, I will personally be harassing anybody I see using one of these.
One thing I do find mildly annoying about the whitespace is that you can't jump to the end of a block with e.g. % in Vi (goes to the matching bracket). Not a huge deal but something I notice.
> Question is, has MacOS become bloated or not had attention to performance to make best use of the new hardware?

Docker is just... faster on Linux. This has been the case for a while, and it's not just kernel-based stuff causing problems: APFS and MacOS' virtualization APIs play a pretty big role in weighing it down.

I'm kinda in the same boat, though. I got a work-issued Macbook that kinda just sits around, most of the time I'll use my desktop or reach for my T460s if I've got the choice. Mostly because I do sysops/devops/Docker stuff, but also because I never really felt like the Mac workflow was all that great. To each their own, I guess.
I’d imagine this would be massive for security, assuming your developer pool sis so inclined. I’m imagining this being implemented at a company there you can generally assume no one is malicious, but that you get some reward for finding flaws in the code your counterpart writes.

Of course this could also be awful since it motivates being nit picky.

>> Control theory is better if you know what you’re doing.

The "if you know what you’re doing" here does not refer to the ability to understand control theory. It means that if you know the underlying dynamics, there is mathematically nothing better than controlling those dynamics. Flying a plane, oscillating a circuit, etc. are all things we can do very well without ML because we have exact models of the physical phenomena. Playing chess has no dynamics, control theory is useless. Anything where the dynamics are not "nice" differential equations, ML is probably easier at learning the dynamics than coming up with an ansatz.
Tall people tend to be more relaxed in leadership roles, because they feel less of a need to prove themselves.
Perhaps it might be feasible were the goods properly sealed? I feel like it would require every step between production to shipment which would require clean environments- that might not be necessarily cost effective, but it is definitely an interesting idea. I would certainly prefer that all packaging be substituted for nontoxic sustainable and compostable materials- it seems doable, additional steps notwithstanding.
