> Might be worth a try and see how people react.

Yes, that's how I'm hoping to act more these days. I've been locked into trying to project a certainty in business and I want to project more uncertainty, more experimental energy instead of "I know the answer" energy.

> At least it sounds less technical

Haha, true. But maybe the more technical works for the engineering places? Maybe I'll use both. "Emotional communication from a metalinguistic perspective." :-D

Or, "I teach people how to say how they feel." Which is pretty close to how one might say it using Natural Semantic Metalanguage[0].

1. The guy said the price was 50k. He didn't say he would sell for 50k. He just stated the price.

2. There was no offer to sell, only a declaration of a price.
It's just someone trying to find the next edgy tweet to please their followers. Making such broad generalizing statements in a few characters is rarely successful.
They must have not read xkcd. Are there other ways the average programmer would hear of Lisp?
One of the hardest parts of doing good research is figuring out what a good question is. “Good” here encompasses a lot of things, such as

* is this an interesting problem to me?

* is this an interesting problem for my students?

* is this an interesting problem for the community?

* codes my team have the skill set to solve this problem?

* is this problem even within the reach of existing techniques?

* if not, what are the intermediate steps required to get there?

> 99designs output is literally just an image of what they think your website should look like. Actually writing all of the HTML and CSS to make it actually look like that is up to you. It makes me think, why am I paying money for a picture of what my site could look like that requires me to do all of the actual work?

This implies that design is not work. Strange, on a tech website, to encounter someone who doesn't realize that design and implementation are two separate jobs.
In the present case the problem is solely related to using whitespace both as a value separator and also within a value, where both “halves” of the value are also valid values in their own right. It would have been similar if they defined a complex-number type whose syntax consists of the real and imaginary part just being separated by whitespace. The issue has nothing to do with the conceptual particularities of date and time.

Interfaces are more important than implementations.

That the "implementation" are just duck taping other interfaces together proves the point!
Yeah that's a good way to go about it. If you relate it back to programming, creating accounts are like abstractions. You wouldn't really start off with a bunch of perfectly named accounts until you get a feel for what you're working with.

I started the same way and over time refined them. GnuCash lets you move previous transactions between accounts as needed.
Maybe it’s ultimately a subjective thing. If one feels underpaid, they are underpaid. Then it’s a matter if there’s an employer that agrees, and it just takes one.

I’d just note that the service academies crowd the rankings for highest paid graduates at early/mid career https://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/bachelors#ful...

Anecdotally, I had a reservist friend with a Harvard MBA who realized he could pull down more money as an activated reservist in Bahrain than his role at BlackRock.

Your mileage may vary…
“This take totally misses the mark on the realities of the situation.”

No, this comment misses the mark.

Intel’s largest issues are not economic or technological.

It’s the bloated bureaucracy that squanders the best and brightest money can buy.
Wow! That was very informative, thanks!
That’s all a bunch of corporate speak that I, as a researcher, am unable to understand, and cannot see why that would be attractive to me in terms of defining my research direction.
Expressing anger anywhere is a business setting is a problem. Anybody can be angry anytime, but your feelings are your business.

Changing the sshd_config to only accept key authentication for example. Since the recent locking down of significant parts of the OS this keeps getting reverted to default.

Contracts are generally signed by both parties. Up until the contract is signed, either party can back out.
> There is no criminality here.

Perhaps the most insidious part of what’s happening and the argument you make: it’s criminal when you or I do it but it’s “a civil matter” when a corporation does it!
When I started reading and got to the portion where the author is saying that money to compensate for inflation is "free money", I immediately thought: "this person does not understand the world, should not do financial investments without professional assistance". Then the rest of the story confirmed it. There is some educational value in posting this here, but still the bar is quite low.
I think you missed the “average person” bit.

The average user does know what local copies are.
This is a “debate” that exists only on HN. Laptops are not what propelled Apple to become the most valuable company in the world and their importance inside the company reflected that until fairly recently.
A lot of money for whom?
Yet Intel is still competitive to AMD, and now has an engineer in charge. Intel's problems feel pretty over stated their products are still good, they're launching new ones which will bring new competition to the GPU space.
It wasn't really though. Motorola was going nowhere. As to why not x86, that's another story but Intel has gone down the wrong path several times. Like with the Pentium 4.
I know that you were talking about those conversations but I don't understand what you're saying about them that I haven't already answered.

Re the penalty: I don't want you to be sad so I have removed it from your account. It's kind of hard to get into the details because we don't discuss specific vote data.
Is just the tooling the problem, or have you run into other issues?
Thanks, I'll try to be mindful about what you've said.
I’m surprised no one made an app that turns Touch Bar into fn (without having to press fn) and a button to switch to the apps choices.

Love Spotify with touchbar, debugging with vs code etc - shame it was hated.

A mini Touch Bar with fn keys above would be lovely!
That was one of many reasons.

I would say the majority of people disliked the small key travel, that’s why apple “fixed” it in the latest iteration, specifically calling it out as a benefit.

What do you like more about it compared to the newer one?
Interesting, since mitochondria ATP production is the main cause of ageing, because of generated oxidative stress, do you believe supplementing exogenous ATP would reduce mitochondria energy generation and therefore oxides gen?
If so is having locally an excess of ATP toxic?
What is the ATP half life in a cell, in blood?
since ATP is not bioavailable orally studies should have tested it e.g. sublingually but they are far too mediocre to do so..

Also if you really want an intellectual challenge and to help me on a problem I fail to understand, is the debate on mildronate vs ALCAR effect on health.
Mildronate:
The main cardioprotective effects of meldonium are mediated by the inhibition of GBB. By subsequently inhibiting carnitine biosynthesis, fatty acid transport is reduced and the accumulation of cytotoxic intermediate products of fatty acid beta-oxidation in ischemic tissues to produce energy is prevented, therefore blocking this highly oxygen-consuming process.[4] Treatment with meldonium therefore shifts the myocardial energy metabolism from fatty acid oxidation to the more favorable oxidation of glucose, or glycolysis, under conditions where oxygen is limited. It also reduces the formation of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a product of carnitine breakdown that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and congestive heart failure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meldonium#Physio-pharmacology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcarnitine#Biochemical_pr...
ALCAR has many many studies showing a potent improvement of health/metabolism and especially a reduction of oxidative stress.
Despite this, ALCAR supposedly do the opposite of mildronate, it shift the mitochondria bioenergetics to an increase in beta oxidation and reduce glucose consumption.
Beta oxidation is oxidative stress but I believed glucose oxidation leads to more oxidative stress?

How to make sense of those contradicting both positive narratives ??
Also weird detail:
Excess acetyl-CoA causes more carbohydrates to be used for energy at the expense of fatty acids. This occurs by different mechanisms inside and outside the mitochondria. ALCAR transport decreases acetyl-CoA inside the mitochondria, but increases it outside.[4][5]

> Honestly to me the M1 era of Apple is the more exciting than things have been in years

The average person doesn't know or care about M1. If you are on HN, you are an enthusiast ("Pro" in Apple parlance). To everyone else, Apple just made their already pretty quiet and fast laptops, quieter and faster.

I think the article is right that the world is waiting to see if Apple's new bottom-up design org can deliver a new category-owning product. So far, they've proven that they can improve the legacy suite of products in meaningful ways and aren't afraid to roll back poor past decisions. I think the author is probably right that Apple's services org is getting much more attention than in the past.

When everything flows downwards, you get a singular vision, blind spots included. I think we saw that with Ive. This was true with Jobs' Macintosh too, before Ive joined. Today, we have fewer blind spots, but we haven't seen evidence that there are leaders willing to take big swings into new categories. Time will tell...
Moscow is too expensive: it prices even software developer leads out. Still, I don't think he have any but first world problems.
Didn’t everyone recognize the first iPhone as a revolution? I mean, the entire Android team took a day off, knowing they had failed.
I can only recommend using BetterTouchTool for adding more guestures to the mouse - and it comes with a nice feature, it reminds me when the charge of the mouse goes below 25%. This gives me several days to recharge it before it actually gets low.
Also recognize that "finding a partner" is overrated, and don't be in a rush. The consequences of a bad choice in partners can potentially last a lifetime, so be picky as well when it comes to commitments. It can take months or even years to really know someone. Be less picky when it comes to flings. Speaking of which, just because you had sex with someone doesn't mean you are under any obligation to maintain monogamy or a relationship with them. In fact, don't go in under the assumption that a relationship will happen. Let it develop naturally.
I love the Serenity prayer. Now that I've read Stoic philosophy, I realize it's a beautiful summary of thoughts from at least 2,000 years ago.
I was curious what it looked like where I work, because I mostly encounter `make([]T, 0, n)` in codebases I've touched, so I did a quick grep...

And the results were roughly 6,000 cases of `make([]T, n)` vs 5,000 cases of `make([]T, 0, n)`, ignoring most generated files (afaict), allowing basically anything but `,` for `n`, and requiring `...)$` for regex simplicity. I didn't read all the results, but the couple hundred I did check in both looked reasonable, so it's probably not too inaccurate.

I'm not sure how representative that is of go code in general, but I think I can be reasonably confident in claiming that neither is a consistent preference.
One possible response in any due diligence / possibly legal discovery is "you have nothing to worry if you have nothing to hide".

Does Twitter have something to hide and is there something they should worry about? Personal information should be kept as private as it should be, but it shouldnt be a shield behind anything nasty.
> Weren't PowerPC chips pretty advanced compared to Intel

PowerPC had better floating point performance which was important for graphics and publishing workflows. Photoshop performance comparisons seemed to happen at every year's MacWorld during that period.

Unfortunately, IBM used Power as a workstation chip, and making a version of the chips for laptops was not on their radar. Of course, at the time, Pentium IV chips weren't known for running cool either. The more popular laptops got, the more this was a problem.

After Intel transitioned to the Core architecture, Apple transitioned to Intel so they could make laptops with a much better performance per watt than PowerPC offered.
Ok, that’s at least more coherent with the others things that you wrote.
Is that a buy signal for VISA stock? Maybe.

With the proliferation of crypto-related cards everywhere, they are expanding into another form of payment rails; just like with bank accounts.

> why wouldn’t people use it wirelessly except to charge?

For some users, the point of a wireless mouse is to be a portable mouse. You can take it on the go with your laptop without worrying about cables. When they are at home, they don't care about cable drag, and they want the peace of mind that the mouse will always have full battery when they need to go. They leave the mouse always plugged in when they can, so they can use the mouse unplugged when they need to.

I think most modern mouses have long enough battery life now, that more people can have the peace of mind without constantly docking their mouse. If the battery lasts weeks, it feels pretty secure.
I hear this not-for-human comment so often, I really have to second mrtweetyhack's now dead comment and this one. When did this meme start making the rounds?

JSON especially is incredibly human read/writeable and its relative lack of ambiguity is nearly unparalleled., and it's syntax is minicule. YAML is particularly bad in this regard. XML is usually pretty humanly readable, editable too, and has many fewer of the issues around ambiguity, but I sympathize with the sentiment since it can get's out of hand much more readily.
Not even close. The blog post was 2017.

Actually, I stand corrected, after double checking, Cloudflare were using Silver. Entry level data centre chips, instead of small business chips. Still not the kind of chips you'd buy for high performance infrastructure, and not intended to be used for such.

Xeon Silver 4116s hit the market at $1,002.00. The Golds were $1,221.00. The performance differences are quite significant. For something that'll be in service for ~3-5 years, $200 is absolutely trivial by way of a per-chip increase. It's firmly in the "false economy" territory to be skimping on your chip costs. It's a bit more understandable in smaller businesses, but you just don't do it when you're operating at scale.

Also remember: at the scales that Cloudflare are purchasing at, they won't be paying RRP. They'll be getting tidy discounts.
Aha, I did not intend to be contemptuous to you personally, sorry about that. And you do not need to justify anything to me, my rant is more of the untargeted frustration kind. I understand the desire to work in a straightforward manner that suits you personally, I am just sad the same thing cannot be achieved across all the platforms.
No one talks about the mega disaster that is Apple Park. When you inside it mostly feels like hospital or airport. The glass cleaning is a major pain to do. Apple bought a quarry in Italy so that the wall tiles can line up or something. Will be fun ti see what happens when it gets damaged. The sinks are all carved out of one block of stone. Last but the least the chairs are 7k and are the works ever to sit on. There are som many apple buildings in Cupertino and collaborating with another team is quite painful. Ive without Jobs was definitely a disaster. After spending those billions on that building that looks like a tomb for Steve Jobs, I wonder what purpose was achieved.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by “too locked down”? What could you do on, say OS X 10.8 that you cannot do now?

I am still running and compiling the same open source software as I did 10 years ago and more besides. There have been a couple of rough transitions with the new security things, SIP, and whatnot. I disabled it for a couple of releases but now that’s not really a problem.
Sure, but the difficulty is being able to understand and modify other people code which can be all over the place.
Or just say what you mean within cultural norms. People know when they're being bullshitted with nice sounding boiler plate in my experience.

A good rule to follow is to prefer being Kind rather than Nice. Kind is being blunt and honest. Nice is saying things nicely but not being clear on commitments (see: ruinous empathy).
My employer is based in Warsaw, Poland with offices in Ukraine, Russia, and many other countries. A day or two after the invasion they sent a company wide email saying they will pay for and coordinate moving, transit, housing, food, etc for anyone and their family in Russia, Ukraine, or the surrounding countries. About a week later they shut down operations in Russia. Though not confirmed we were told a not insignificant portion of Russian employees fled to Poland and still work my employer.

I doubt this occurred at very many places, but anecdotally Poland gained a meaningful number of highly skilled tech workers. I haven't worked with any of the Russians, but many of my Polish counterparts hold the belief that the US is largely responsible for the invasion of Ukraine. I will be very interested to see immigration numbers of where Russians end up.
Because "speaking SQL" [even before SQL as such was even invented, hence the scare quotes] was intended as a skill to be practiced only by those who also grasped the [mathematical] logic of what they were doing when "speaking SQL". None of the people who "speak SQL" these days fit that bill.

And FWIW, what I wrote was in reply to "mental model". It was *you* who apparently equated that with "speaking English". The "mental model" I described as "exactly the problem" is the "mental model" *of the corresponding logic*, which, though mathematically consistent, is hopelessly unintuitive. Being English-speaking or not has nothing to do with understanding a particular logic underpinning the behaviour of a particular Data Manipulation Language.
We as a free market society shouldn't have publicly owned, or even publicly accessible, libraries. They distort the market for books and other materials, and therefore are illegitimate government interference.
I have several Magic Mice, including the one that still runs on the battery. I never had any of the batteries going bad - my oldest one is 5 years old at least still goes like a month on a charge.
You're the one equating "old man" to "feeble-minded" or "out of touch". That implication wasn't there in the comment you responded to.
Conversely, modafinil taken as prescribed (as opposed to when-needed) transformed my life from an unproductive self-hating person for 15 plus years to a well-paid SRE within the span of a few short years.

I actually needed to take less modafinil (down to 50 mg a day) to be efficaceous at work and emotionally balanced. I have recently discovered grapefruit extract transforms the experience so I am now a productive machine. Sadly, armodafinil is not available in Denmark.

The downsides are your time spent into doing some research and jailbreaking, and the barrier to update the Kindle firmware freely. But I wouldn't worry about the last point because Amazon rarely adds useful features. As a reference, I didn't find the need to update the firmware while I had the Kindle from 2019-2021.
I interviewed as a COBOL programmmer.

The place had given up hiring actual COBOL programmers, and instead hired pure computer science folks and Java programmers.

Erlang is definitely more niche than elixir at this point. Too many well-known companies use elixir: discord, pagerduty, Weedmaps, Boston MBTA, apple, etc.
> The question is: can you construct a sequence of dice-casts that an adversary can't distinguish from a real dice-cast?

Yes, obviously:

A: 2 4 4 3 5 2 3 6 4 2

B: 5 5 5 6 4 1 1 2 4 5

One is a real dice-cast with a d6 I had lying around. The other is the (100% deterministic) output of:

echo 1651434259 $X | md5sum | grep -o '[1-6]' | paste -sd' '

for some X. Feel free to explain[0] how you are able to distinguish which is which.

The real issue is that most people don't bother to produce random numbers in a way that's actually secure (which, to be fair, is rather tedious if you don't have a computer handy, and downright prohibitively impractical if you want to do it all in your head, so why would you bother?), either in the study or in general.

0: If you'd like a more black-box distinguishment, I can provide a longer list; obviously a adversary can get the right answer 50% of the time just by chance.
If you are familiar, could you post a short explanation? I'm also curious as to why buying in may is too late.

Edit: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds...

It has always puzzled me. Why Steve Jobs chose his ops head over product ones, to succeed him?
Yeah, this stuff is tricky! On the one hand, successful businesses require a whole set of skills, and so if you're going to go the solo indie hacker route, you need to wear lots of hats, and you probably won't like some of them.

On the other hand, if you spend too much time doing stuff you hate, you'll burn out, which can sabotage the business even more quickly than skipping the tasks you don't like.

I've approached this problem by trying to weave the things I like into the things I don't. I enjoy coding more than I enjoy writing blog posts, so why not create interactive blog posts? I wind up doing a fair amount of coding to create the dynamic widgets. Here's an example blog post, so you can see what I mean: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/animation/css-transitions/

I also try and stay focused on the outcome. I don't really enjoy filming video lessons, but I enjoy the feeling that comes from teaching someone a valuable skill. So I try to keep that in my mind when I'm doing the filming/writing.
Took Ritalin/Concerta most of my life, this is very wrong. Ritalin is Methylphenidate and only Methylphenidate.

I don't know how consciously you did so, but this high contrast, all-caps monospaced typeface aesthetic ends up being fairly similar to a lot of design trends I see in the EDM shows and events I go to.

Which, purposeful or not…good job. This kinda Brutalist kinda punk vibe ends up feeling totally appropriate for a very local-focused website. My immediate thought was “hey it’s listings for upcoming shows at Smartbar”.
