The IIR oscillators quickly deterioritate, though. A more accurate way is to do something CORDIC-inspired: Start with a 2D point in [1,0]. Every iteration, you rotate it by (2pi f T) radians (where f is the frequency you want, and T is 1/48000 or whatever). This requires you to have precomputed sin and cos of those values for the rotation matrix, but that can be done once, up-front, as long as you don't need to change the frequency. If you do this for every sample, x will trace out your cos() and y will trace out your sin().

Accuracy errors are easy to account for in this scheme; just renormalize the vector so that the length is 1. It's cheaper and less code than doing a sin().

By the way, for linear interpolation (if you wish to keep the table), usually x + (y-x)*t is faster than x*(1-t) + y*t.
I found the same too. I think GPT 3 could write a similar list with the right prompt. It is too long and it would have been better if it was of 3 ot 5 most important items than a long list of half of which sound like cliches.

Regardless one thing I do look forward to is the HN discussion here with people giving their own points. I do hope to learn a thing or two from that.
No it doesn't, there are plenty of disorders both physical and mental that can lead you to get overweight. There are plenty of people that are naturally fit without any effort. It says nothing about your ability to successfully accomplish a job. It's just another discriminating bias.
It's easy to throw around accusations that other people are lieing, but it seems counterproductive to having healthy debate on here.
Yeah I mean how can most (and even billion dollar valued!) startups forever bleed money and need to raise Series XYZ. As if this whole startup scene is just like the pyramid, but with extra steps
First of all don't beat yourself up over past choices, especially ones like this where you have no idea how things would have turned out if you'd acted differently (I know it's easy to say and hard to do).

Should you seek professional help? maybe, having someone to talk to openly about these sort of feelings can be very beneficial and a professional's distance can make them more objective.
I feel there is a little misdirection in the 12F idea.

> The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).

Not every landscape fits the WEB-LOGIC-mumble_db_mumble model. Sometimes your backing services are not Someone Else's Problem: maybe you need to curate them and deploy them with the rest of your 12F fleet (applying 12F where possible) but the realities are lots of handholdy things like state, schemas, migrations, and entropy in general.
Game consoles, fighter jets... Anyway, it's interesting that there is no 5'th generation language, at least on wikipedia.
> I had an impression that the most used method for putting out the burning oil wells is TNT

You're not wrong. The technique was pioneered by Red Adair who was quite a famous firefighter with a speciality in blowout fires:

It's worth doing a search on YouTube for videos of his "work":

I can imagine that this kind of research is done once 15 years ago, as I remember that too, but perhaps with the recent advance of technology might actually not be true anymore. I don’t have sources but in general some types of things get reiterated so long that time overtook it
> But the screen estate isn't even close between three monitors and a laptop

Absolutely, which is a large part of the reason I'm not sure its practical for me, but its certainly true that one monitor is simpler than three. I suppose I could eventually get used to just having one monitor, it might even have some advantages, but I'm not sure I'd want to.

> A nice middle ground is a laptop with a dock with monitors

This is what I've currently got (laptop is a razer blade). In my case at least it just ended up being more messy and difficult than a desktop. Most docks for example are designed for business use and therefore don't provide "clean" USB power, which I found causes issues with audio interfaces and DACs. I just ended up having a small, poorly cooled, difficult to upgrade desktop.

After that, I decided no more half measures. I either embrace the minimalism of a laptop alone, or return to a desktop. I know a dock works well for some people, sadly not for me.

> Gaming is nonexistent on macOS... i can't imagine doing game dev somewhere you can't even test

This is exactly it (plus game dev for apple sillicon is still somewhat lagging behind), it doesnt seem to be a practical option, yet as I still, here I am.

Of course theres also non-apple laptops as well which would provide similar simplicity. I love my thinkpads, but I'm just not sure they're powerful enough for me to replace a desktop with, and as for the more powerful of the non-apple laptops, the blade has given me a mistrust of them (only had the thing for a year and the battery has bulged beyond being able to fit it in the chassis)
There's the whole Sony rootkit fiasco that shows that record labels have tried to put DRM on CD's. I have no idea how many continued to try, but if they did bypassing it is a crime, even if it's trivial to bypass. The DMCA is dumb.
'Race' is a thought-stopping way to categorize humans, but if we replace it with 'ancestry' rather than 'Census designation category' we can at least state with confidence that ancestry is a discrete property, one is simply descended from another person or one isn't.

It doubles with each generation (this stops being true remarkably quickly but let's use single-static-assignment to ignore cousin marriage), so while someone with perfect information could say "so-and-so has precisely 14 ancestors from West Africa in a generation where the remaining 242 ancestors are all European", it's easier to say they're 5% African-descended.

Or Black, by the old American rules around race. I did say it's a thought-stopping category.
Upvoting this. In my many roles I've had an opportunity to observe and work quite close with executives at several Fortune 100 companies - VPs, CEOs, etc.

I would not rank "hard work" or "intelligence" very high when it comes to common traits of these folks. In fact, I would say maybe half of these folks really stood out in terms of raw intelligence - people who make you say "wow, that person is bright". And we're not talking "Field's medal" smart.

The same characteristics that make for successful politicians makes for successful executive - emotional intelligence, ability to connect with people, confidence, ability to communicate clearly and drive the organization forward. There is a bit of force of personality here - their actions push decision making forward. And that doesn't require a big ego are a silver tongue. I've met quiet, reserved leaders who just have a style that says "I see it like X, so we need to do Y" and everyone else says "of course!" and off they go to do Y.

It's a common trope but "big picture" thinking is a big deal - don't get mired in trivial details, focus on what important, stop people from wasting time on unimportant things. Basically keep the machine well-oiled and moving forward - keep people happy and focused.
Don't forget about the spinoffs:

Personally, i think that the sweet spot lies somewhere in the middle:

- use a basic CSS framework to save time on design but without introducing too much bloat (e.g. Skeleton or PureCSS come to mind, maybe Bootstrap if you really really want to, instead of something heavier like Foundation)
- focus on simplicity in your site, don't get too caught up with dynamic elements (e.g. more like documents/forms rather than a visual experience)
- if you need complex form validations, you may use something like Vue, but consider proper bundle splitting; alternatively just do server side rendering if that's acceptable (especially if you want to support your site being used without JS)
- don't forget that you'll still absolutely be judged by your users - sites that look too old timey might just turn off some users from using your thing, just the way things are

Here's a nice presentation about website bloat (from 7 years ago, though little has changed): https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm

Here's my boring homepage, for example: https://kronis.dev/

The heaviest thing on it probably is the icon font (a legacy from the days past, from the Materialize library, instead of just SVG icons or even emojis), but it would absolutely exclude me from many front-end dev/designer positions (apart from the HTML/CSS being lazily written, of course).
Interesting. Maybe my customers are in a different market than where this was based on but I haven't seen a slowdown, either in deal volume or in the size of the individual deals. Bumper Q1 in fact and Q2 looks quite strong so far. Obviously the war in Ukraine has a lot of people worried and I have seen some immediate impact of this in some of the start-ups I looked at (because they either had a development or a support department in Ukraine) but for the most part it looks as long as the war does not escalate further or draws in other European territories that the impact on the start-up/VC scene will be limited.

What I do still see is a reluctance to invest in the hospitality/travel industry which used to make up a fair percentage of the investments. Most likely this is still an effect of the ongoing pandemic. This money seems to have shifted mostly towards fintech where the number of deals is up and so are the valuations.

What's with all the self quotes by the way? It doesn't really add much credibility if you are quoting yourself to make the point you are making, that doesn't add evidence, it just creates a circle.
The government already backstops most residential mortgages through freddie/fannie. Absorbing the losses and taking in LVT instead of mortgage payments will be nothing more than an accounting difference for many mortgages (e.g. say, some pension funds).

Some land owners should have to eat losses. Thats the whole point. If you live on a portfolio of land inherited through your 15th century duke great grand uncle you should be getting a job at McDonalds rather than living off the labor of others.

The problem is less technical and more political. Try to deprive large scale land holders of their property and they will bankroll a fascist uprising and launch a coup while foreign leaders in hock to property owners elsewhere will back the coup and enact punishing sanctions to prevent it from being seen to work.

It'll happen one day probably but the transition will be bloody and violent as it always has been when land is redistributed.

There was a management imposed maximum onshore:offshore ratio, eventually the onshore dev team started receiving a very small headcount increase again.

Ever heard of locals?

You can't imagine how much better Rome has been in these last two years without Americans coming to colonize our historical districts.

It's not entirely Americans fault, they do not belong here, don't know the language, the traditions, but they gather together all in the same place and suddenly it's not Rome anymore and obviously prices skyrocket up to the point that locals can't afford to live there anymore, after generations many have been forced to leave their family houses.
Those two projects are super cool! I’m more than a little disappointed that their visual designs appear be to be inspired by modern flat macOS, as opposed to classic aqua (either in its earliest form or its Leopard incarnation).
The cost of living in smaller cities is indeed likely to rise as a result of this if they do not build adequate amounts of new housing and commercial real estate as they grow. But this is already happening.

Do you mean that these municipalities would somehow intentionally raise the cost of living? That doesn’t really make sense.
Most popular tends to go in opposite direction of quality - people look at the fees heavily and tend to go to cheapest solutions.

Now it can be claimed that cheap != low quality and there are certainly some exceptions out there, but generally you get what you par for.

I think it is very hard to measure the total impact of outsourcing. In single company's case, it might seem that competitiveness increases when you start to outsource, but when everyone is onboard with it, it fades into background. I do believe it could make sense for many things, but the cost function is definitely more complex than changing from expensive coders to cheap ones.
Yeah that advice is horrible. Someone could forget or change voicemail systems or have your email go to spam. It’s not a signal of anything.

It's really hard to prove some things scientifically. But that doesn't imply the effects are small, just that to move from correlation to causality is not easy at all.

In this case it's easy because there's no effect.

The sort of argument you're making above has become common in threads like these, but it's based on what looks a bit like template/pattern matching rather than logic. See also the comment below by ltbarcly3 which is correcting another instance of this. I noticed this problem crops up in COVID threads a lot.

Confounding factors matter when there is a correlation and you're trying to explain causation, because it means you might infer causality wrongly when in reality there's a confounder that explains it differently. Confounding factors are irrelevant when there's no correlation to explain, unless you posit that there actually is an effect but a confounder perfectly balances it out in the opposite direction. If you go there you'd better have really good evidence of it because (a) that's quite unlikely a priori and (b) that evidence is all that would stand between you and hallucinating things that aren't real.

In this case there is no effect to explain. Neither masks nor lockdowns have any observable effect on outcomes and this has been demonstrated six ways from Sunday, from the start of COVID. A lot of people desperately struggle to accept this because of what it implies about the honesty and competence of public health authorities, but the fact remains that these interventions had no effect and there are many studies showing this. You don't really need studies of course. Just looking at case graphs is enough to see this for yourself, because mask mandates were justified on the basis that they'd have a big impact on those graphs. When they don't do that reliably, it automatically means the policy is a failure. It's still nice to rigorously characterize the lack of effect, though.

Because there's no effect that means "correlation doesn't imply causation" is an invalid argument, it means "but real world data can be confounded" is irrelevant because there's nothing to be confounded, and it means a whole lot of other arguments that crop up in discussions of bad science are irrelevant. All these things are common objections to bad science because academics are so keen to announce effects in data that aren't real. They're therefore possibly valid objections to studies where masks or lockdowns are claimed to create real effects, but they aren't valid objections to studies supporting the null hypothesis.
As it turns out, hempcrete is a great thermal insulator. Less heat flows through it than through other insulators, e.g. wool or cotton. In winter, the temperature of the outer walls of hemp houses can be around 5C lower than in the houses (heated the same way) with standard insulation. This means that less heat leaves the interior of the building. Indeed, with comparable heating intensity, houses insulated with hemp-lime material maintain an average temperature higher by 2C.

[https://ecoreactor.org/hempcrete-2/]

Hempcrete is waterproof. It is highly versatile and features desirable structural and moisture-handling properties. Depending on the mix variables, hempcrete makes an ideal choice for insulation, flooring, drywall, and roofing. Hempcrete is also fireproof and rot-proof.

...

Unlike Portland cement that needs water to hydrate, hempcrete takes on moisture when it exists and releases it when the conditions allow. Research indicates that hempcrete blocks fabricated and stored in different weather conditions – without any coating – for a few months showed water vapor pressure between 1000 Pa for the drier block and 1600 Pa for the moister one.

...

Besides, hempcrete cannot be overwhelmed when it comes to adsorbing of moisture thanks to the vast storage capacity with a sustained elevated humidity of 93 percent. Therefore, high levels of moisture don’t propagate deeply into the hempcrete.

...

The lime coating in each hemp block creates a surface that resists the development of mold, even when the conditions cause decay. The resilience to tackle humidity and liquid moisture makes it a desirable choice and a unique insulation material in hot and cold climates.

First, turn off password and root ssh logins to your machine. Treat all the other machines on the LAN as if they have already been suborned. Don't 'ssh -A' to them if it would enable them to log back into your machine. No 'ssh -X' either except from within a VM on your machine, with its own X-in-a-window.

I.e., pretend every other machine is out on the open internet.

There are new ssh options to keep closer control of credentials.

You have no way of knowing that you would have done well in the manager role and gotten promoted to director like your peer. You claim to be more hard working and intelligent than him but who's to say what you view as hard working and intelligent are objectively true? Who's to say success in those roles is even a function of hard work or intelligence? Who's to say your peer didn't have some third skill relevant to managering and directoring that you lack in comparison? Maybe the thing that led to your peer's promotion was his boss's partner meeting his partner at a holiday party which put him on the radar. Who the heck knows.

If a man in line behind you at the convenience store buys a lottery ticket and wins a million dollars, do you kick yourself for not buying that ticket when it was your turn in line? Life is chaos; pretending things like this are in your control is useless. Punishing yourself for not knowing what you didn't know in the past is cruel.

Your misery comes from your own self-imprisonement. Happiness will not come from a time machine. Rather you should work on keeping your ego out of the driver's seat. A therapist might help, to teach you frameworks around catastrophization. Eastern philosophy has a lot of answers for dealing with ego as well. Alan Watts' The Book is a good way to experiment on that path.

Forget the past and focus on the present. If you don't like the present, focus on the future.
