> I think you’re purposely pretending like you don’t know what I’m talking about.

No I wasn't. Though I'm aware of the effects you mention in this comment. Adderall or any amphetamine, including methamphetamine acts similarly. But I do think "euphoria" and "focus" are kind of antithetical, so likely not happening at the same time.

However people with ADHD don't experience these things, not euphoria or energy anyway. "Focus" is more like decreased distraction or clarity of thought. With medications ADHD people typically are calmer, more "centered" and more appropriately motivated to get done what they need to.

Ironically the "stimulant" medications aren't stimulating to those with ADHD. IOW they don't feel anything in particular from the medications, it simply allows them to function more fluently. Of course if the dose is way too much, even ADHD folks will have side effects (usually jittery sensations, anxiety, interference with sleep, and other effects).

Naturally I can't recommend using prescription and DEA-controlled drugs without a good medical reason, but of course I'm sure you knew I'd say that. :)

You are not your work, your work is not who you are, it is what you can become. The real question is who do you want to become and how do you want to live while becoming that?

I think the happiest people don´t see there work as work, they made there passion there work, become really good at is and then feel that they receive the inner duty to also change some things of the proces.
You have no issues with thermal throttling or inane power limits on Linux?

For sites that are mostly read only from non-logged in users Cloudflare can be great. I've got a WordPress content site configured with Cloudflare's APO. Almost 100% of actual human requests for HTML pages or static resources are cached. And there are also a few caching layers at the server level too (setup automatically by Cloudways). The site generates around $15k per month and growing fast on an overprovisioned $50/mo server. I don't think I'll need to spend much more on hosting at even 10x the current traffic due to the caching by Cloudflare. Maybe a bit more for disk space since we store large images but DigitalOcean's Block Storage also makes that incredibly cheap
Even just afterwards saying “they served Pepsi with lemon” leaks information - Pepsi and lemon are both available to the bunker, which may be enough to determine the area it is in, if you know that only one shipment of Pepsi got through.

I found great comic relief in this characterization, and want to extend the joke, comments like "that sounds 100 times better than my ex" or creating a "YFU as a service" company

Thanks for brightening my day.

And I like programming.
You should be lucky it isn't throttling, a common issue with several models of Lenovo :).
I think you just look for different features in a laptop then the Thinkpad crowd does. I love the track point, you get a mouse you never have to take your fingers off the keyboard to use.

I've used a plethora of modern latoptops, and to this day my favorite laptop is an ancient x200. It has not trackpad, only a track point. I upgraded it to heck, with a new ips screen, ram, new wireless card, storage, etc. The keyboard is wonderful, the screen looks great, The foot print of the laptop is quite small. I only wish I could have that laptop with a modern processor, as that's where it's fallen behind.

I've never enjoyed MacBook as much as that thing. I'm definitely not a granpa either.
given that it's impossible to enforce it, no. but it s a great way to communicate a message
I have a similar setup - X1E Gen 2 with two Dell monitors - the secondary one on the right rotated to portrait mode. The primary monitor connects directly to the laptop via USB-C (and it is able to charge the laptop too over the same cable so thats a bonus). The secondary connects over HDMI via a hub[0] that connects to the laptop over USB-C. These two + my laptop screen work fine though I usually keep my laptop closed (though I have noticed that the GDM login screen appears sideways on the secondary but once I login, everything is fine).

The main issue with this setup is that both my USB-C ports are taken up but since most of my peripherals are wireless, it is not a problem for me. Another issue is that if I try to use the Intel graphics to drive this setup, everything basically crawls and is unusable so I can only use NVIDIA graphics with this (switching to Intel graphics is fine when I'm away from my desk).

My main grievance with guile scheme is that libraries are often distributed with autotools. The installation scripts are very brittle and I've had to spend a lot more time than I'd like picking apart how they work.
> The problem is they don't make the larger workstation laptops with Intel only.

This might be a Lenovo-only problem. With Dell, you can customise-to-order a Precision 7760 with an 8-core Xeon, 128 GB unbuffered ECC memory, a lot of storage, and no discrete graphics card, if you so desire.

Many of these options aren't available on the site, but you can always call/chat in and from my experience, Dell will be happy to customise a machine to your requirements.
You'll get similar battery life only if the Intel gets severely power limited.

A newer AMD would be more comparable.

You're right—it's super powerful.

We used this "RSM intuition" to test TigerBeetle's strict serializability, by verifying state transitions the instant they happen, taking advantage of the test simulator's knowledge of inflight client requests, instead of trying to piece everything together and verify strict serializability after the fact.

You have every reason to take pride in your work and how far you've come, but you're missing the point. "Slave labor" is of course an exaggeration (and an exaggeration that shouldn't be made lightly) but the point is you didn't have as much freedom in that job as your Western colleagues.

You had to work harder than the Swedes because the alternative was worse for you. It sounds like you're happy for your time at that company, but a lot of H1B workers find themselves in unpleasant work conditions that they don't have the same freedom to leave as their American counterparts. Their employers know they can subject them to a worse environment because they have more riding on it, whereas an American worker can simply leave and find a better job.

That's the point. It's more like indentured servitude than slavery in that regard anyway. The problem isn't that it doesn't make anyone's lives better in the end, the problem is that it's of concerning ethics on the part of the employer.
> If you never use your battery, why own a laptop at all? Why not buy a Mac mini or an iMac?

Sometimes I need to move, for example while travelling, otherwise I would use a desktop computer.
Skeletons are extremely hard to get right. The system must quickly predict what part of the app is about to load and render the appropriate skeleton. If you make a mistake, or crash, or redirect incorrectly, then you might end up showing a blank screen or something even worse than a spinner. Any screen that doesn't fit an existing layout must have a separate (set) of skeletons created, because showing a mismatching skeleton is very confusing. All this stuff has to account for different devices, as usual. It's almost like maintaining a parallel set of minimalistic designs. It's doable, but only if you have enough resources or if your app is very simple.
This choice of GPU (Intel) works with Linux perfectly, that's why it's a green dot.
At least it's not throttling because it never runs the fans fast enough unless forced.

I don't think this is true for a large majority of us. Use cases and therefore priorities differ, its not that we just haven't "seen the light".

My laptop lasts a good 6-7 hours doing normal tasks, but I hardly ever use more than an hour or two at most as that is as much time as I usually spend in meetings. Anything above that is wasted on me as I prefer my dual monitor and keyboard setup too much and subsequently can keep it connected pretty much 24/7.

It's much similar in the case of wired headphones. I bought a wireless headset many years ago. As the battery has deteriorated a bit since then I feel that I too often had to stop listening to music during work hours because they needed to charge. If I forgot to charge them when not at work, they would have to charge during work hours when I would much rather use them. I decided that this annoyance was greater than having a cable that I didn't notice was there. The sound is better too so yay

I think judging by how software updates look B is correct, people don't care anymore about functionality, but how things look. They don't wanna perfectly OK display which is not so colorful and doesn't have so high resolution, but it's ALWAYS readable, more sunlight the better and battery life is counted in 4-6 weeks, they will rather have display with better colors and resolution and charge it every 2 days.

Or there is option C, same as with compact phones, it's relatively small group of users and companies just don't care with providing them any options. Nowadays if you want "compactish" phone with good camera and decent battery life your only options are year old Zenfone 8, year old Pixel 5, Xiaomi Mi 12/12X or Samsung S22 and that's pretty much it, two phones released recently, meanwhile you have hunreds of tablets ("phones") to choose from.

Same thing with laptops, you can have either ugly unbreakable workhorse Thinkpad T series, but most of the people will rather buy crappy laptop from different brand because it looks nicer and they don't care they will have it in repair all the time.

And it's even worse with transreflective watch with good battery life and normal size, which will not break your wallet, such thing doesn't exist anymore at all. You can buy premium Garmin which is huge, expensive and lasts maybe 2 weeks and that's pretty much it unless you order some obscure copy of original Amazfit Bip (SMA Q2 or Q3), but in that case it's just easier to buy used Bip for peanuts. PineTime has crap battery life and 11mm thickness, Bangle.js is huge, so it's Timex R300 plus pricey and all of these are released long time ago anyway.
I'm all for bashing autotools, but in this one case, I'd throw Symantec (SEP?) into the fire first.

And the solution to all build systems being bad is imho not to use C/C++. It's model for platform independence is fundamentally broken. It's not like snafu doesn't exist elsewhere too (Python), but other systems are clearly less troublesome (Go, NPM, Cargo).
That's the most important point in this article. That clichéd "everyone should code" line you hear isn't true. Or the standard "you should code" response on Reddit every time someone asks what job they should do. If you can't focus for long periods, coding is not for you. If you can't handle banging your head against a bug for several days straight, it's not for you. If you don't like solitary work, it's not for you.
With some experience in EU and in the UK - the only good experience I had with government is gov.uk information website.

The UK gov has its fair share of problems but gov.uk is great at explaining all their stupid rules.

South European governments are incredibly bad from my experience and from what my friends tell me, Germany, France and the Netherlands are fairly bad as well (in different ways). Maybe nordic countries fare better.

Russia used to be a bureaucracy nightmare but got much better in the last few years.
I have the 1st gen and the Pros. The 1st gen lasted 2 years on the mark until they started switching off without warning. I used them for music/audiobooks/calls. Now, i cannot really count on them for anything so i use them when i get (rare) gsm calls. I got a pair of 40€ airbuds from amazon wirh great battery life and sound(although i use them just for calls - i am in calls 10h per day and use just one at a time) but i cannot pair them to more than 1 machine. For other cases i use the pros.
Zelensky is going to do a civil lawsuit if he looses the war ... makes sense.
Honestly, if moving from C++ to Rust is frustrating for a developer not because of missing but because of borrowing, lifetimes and move semantics, it probably means that they were writing very "old style" C++. I write my modern C++ following Rust semantics as much as I can, and I think it's the right way to currently use C++ without incurring in slews of preventable issues.

Rust IS modern C++ in a stricter package IMHO. C++ still has some extra magic (constexpr, SFINAE) that in Rust is yet not doable or requires procedural macros, but the core language is definitely designed around concepts such as by-value and move semantics which are crucial concepts to use when writing modern C++ applications.

Commercial mass-produced tomatoes, bananas and other climacteric fruit are picked heavily unripe, shipped in this more durable state, and in the destination country are rapidly artificially ripened in ethylene gas chambers. The same commercial mass-produced fruits and vegetables also have been cultivated for decades for resistance against disease, size, and shelf life. Taste is often only secondary to those.

On one hand it allows year-round affordable fruit and vegetables to lie in our stores. On the other hand it means we are now stuck buying tasteless bags of water.

It is an erosion of the 'middle class' of products that economies of scale across all products seem to cause. There are only two kinds of product left: the small-scale artisanal extremely pricy product (e.g. farmer's market), and the mass-produced MBA-optimized to death commercial product. Any product that becomes 'too successful' and reaches economies of scale falls victim to this and is subsequently repeatedly penny-pinched until nothing of value is left.
I will never understand the fetishisation of metal as a "premium" feeling material - if anything, it's impractical for a laptop. (conducts heat so can be uncomfortable to use on your lap if the thermal solution is poorly designed; dents/bends when dropped; probably harder for RF/antenna design...)

It's the same reason why phones turned in to "premium" glass and metal sandwiches that people immediately slap in to a cheap plastic case because the "premium" design is simply too thin and slippery to use.

Samsung was rightly nailed in the 2010s for producing horrible plastic phones, but Nokia's use of quality polycarbonate in their Lumias were ignored.

This is a rare case where blind people using screen readers have it (a little) easier. Every serious screen reader I know of has a command to skip to the next heading. It's too bad most sighted web users don't have a similar feature handy.
Why do you need such a build quality? Do you toss around your laptops? Do you keep dropping your laptop? My question is what is the use of such a build quality (apart from the very subjective - "it feels good")
> given that it's impossible to enforce it

For some foreign journalist or diplomat sure but against a local journalist, maintenance crew, cleaner, etc who all most likely sign the exact same NDA for sure Ukraine can enforce it if the person is unable to escape the country (which for males aged 18 to 65 is really hard at the moment for example)

edit: Also as a journalist if you actually do leak such information after signing a piece of paper saying you would not who would actually trust you with any kind of secret information in the future?

FAANG companies understand full well that that at their scale they cannot go into e.g. the hardware market like ordinary consumers, and demand something that perfectly meets their requirements at minimum cost in the quantities they require off the BestBuy shelf. They're going to have to do some custom R&D, partner with suppliers, grow products either internally or for which they are the first / primary customer, acquire relevant startups, make long term purchase contracts, etc.

I don't see why the same wouldn't be true of the labor market.

Show HN: I made a JavaScript library to turn MPA to SPA
I've always been fascinated by projects like Turbo Drive (formerly turbolinks), which attempt to bring Single Page (SPA) like navigation to Multi Page (MPA) web applications.

I recently shared my work on Million.js (https://github.com/aidenybai/million), which is a modern take on Virtual DOM.

Since Million.js internally uses a diffing algorithm, I decided to try and see if I could implement my own version of Turbo Drive, based on another diffing algorithm (micromorph).

Here's me integrating into an existing open source project: https://www.loom.com/share/ccd5429ddda04dfea882440b78ce61f2

It supports anchor tags, form submission, prefetching, and we're currently exploring more advance techniques with web workers and FLIP here! https://github.com/aidenybai/million/issues/177

I'm just really excited about this topic and I thought I'd share it to HN to see if any of you all have any suggestions :)

I absolutely do those things all the time as somebody who is naturally clumsy and a heavy mobility user. A laptop that can survive some light abuse, which both MacBooks and Thinkpad's can is an absolute requirement for me.

I can't tell you how many times in my life I've seen a laptop come crashing to the ground. For somebody like me MagSafe is an actual competitive advantage because of the multiple laptop charging ports I've destroyed by tripping over the cord accidentally. I am not alone.
Besides the journal, live backups of the database file might not be atomic in which case the backed up copy could have content written after a fsync but missing content written before it which should not happen on power loss.
You have mentioned AS8075 (Microsoft), but with a comment of "Corp MSN"?. It's definitely using Azure (whether compromised or rented is something that I can't ascertain). The MSN here is due to legacy: it stands for MicroSoft Network (back in the days that MS is also an American ISP, although it seems that they're still a dial-up ISP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_Dial-up).

Also, Contabo Asia (AS141995) is misclassified as in Germany. Although they are German, that AS is exclusively used for their Singaporean operations.
I actually have wireless keyboard, mouse and earphones, both for work and for sport.

I don't think I have a "mindset", I'm all about improving my day to day, I spend an insane amount of hours in front of my computer. I have been told that my next work computer is going to be a MacBook Pro so I will get a taste of the Apple experience.
I agree that Racket development is less interactive than CL development partly because of the slower compile times and partly because of the way the editors choose to reload modules on change. Nothing inherent prevents fast reloading[1], though, and Racket development is still plenty interactive[2].

I would say the package story is more complicated in CL as a consumer of packages. As a package creator, they're similarly complex.
