The WYSIWYG part of obsidian can be somewhat replicated in VSCode by this obscure and community-neglected plugin [1]. Live math preview was the reason why I got this plugin, which works very unreliably, but for other markdown functions it's okay.

I've given up all hope that more GPU is the answer to more fun.

These days I spend my free time at a cabin in the woods, hand crafting a software rasterizer in protest of all of this bullshit.

Developers still don't realize how powerful that CPU is. Especially now in 2022... We were playing quake on a single thread with clock rates measured in hundreds of megahertz. How much faster is an AMD Rome system compared to the best you could buy in the mid 90s? Just do some linear extrapolation with those figures.
I'm the author of this article and would appreciate any feedback/thoughts. I included just a few examples on the graphic (mostly from memory as I was lucky enough to come of age in 1990 so lived through it).

I remember when Yahoo mail came along with AJAX and how astonishing it was to not have to refresh to get new mail. Although, over a dial up connection, I'm not sure how "realtime" anything was :)
You're right — a few of them are hold, not power. Even the OG shuffle, which definitely looks like it's a power switch, appears not to be — when I switch it "off" during playback, there's a suspicious delay before the music stops.
The only critical assumptions are that they are aware of the details of what both of them have been given and that if they could have known the answer they would say so (i.e. that they are being perfectly logical and not making a mistake). The fact that this eliminates potential solutions is a consequence of that and the problem as set out. The whole puzzle hinges the fact that one person not knowing the answer from the part they are given (and the knowledge that the other person does not know after each step) constrains (i.e. gives information on) the answer. (but it is correct that as stated you could not derive all pairs of numbers this way: the puzzle gives you a sequence for which the pair is knowable)
Maybe someone touched upon it on previous comments but:

You want to be a business owner first - and a chef second.

If you just want to be a "chef" - that's equivalent to being the head programmer at startup and not getting any equity and makes no sense.
I don't think that Intel is good for RISC-V. Look what Intel did to Alpha, MIPS64 and PA-RISC.
Intel does not want a competitor.
Yes I agree. There is something quite elegant and fundamental about recursive descent parsing.
My caliper eats at least 1 battery per month and it's those awful R44 alkaline ones that start leaking when they're empty :(
Where did you get that? Christianity teaches that God is merciful, you don't need to be perfect to receive his love.
> The microwave can only be set in 15 second increments. But you can fine-tune it, in five-second increments, by spinning a dial

Mine is similar, also a combi. You spin the dial and it will go up in 10 second increments to a point, then in minutes, then in 5 minutes, then ten minutes, etc. Fine, I get it, it's like floating point. But it starts doing 5 minutes at the 10 minute mark! So you can't do 11-14 minutes. Which is actually about right for some things in an oven.

You also can't add more than 10 minutes to a short time without stopping the oven (this, I assume, is intended to be a safety thing to avoid being able to accidentally add hours of cooking without positive user intent).

And I do wish it would just stop the fan once it stops cooking, but I suppose the electronics next to the hot oven don't suddenly need less cooling just because the hot metal box doesn't have food in it.

I do like it though because it's much more efficient for small things than a big oven and I don't have space for a toaster oven and a microwave. And it has a much better UI for setting a delay start than the 6-button interface of the big oven.
Have a few of them (previous hardware revisions though)... had the intention to write a keyboard firmware in assembly. I wanted to code clean 64bits riscv assembly instead of 32bits riscv, even if the ISA seems to scale well from 32bits to 64bits. I have not managed to do anything with them, because I am side tracked to code other things, and by the look of it, I don't even know if I will ever use them.
I guess you missed the moment between 1950-2020s when our civilization transitioned from industrial to information society thanks to massive progress in IT. Super-optimistic approach to software design in that period of time has led us to the destructive mess of the social networks, cyberwarfare and buggy MCAS in Boeing 737 Max.

EDIT: I also forgot to mention globalization, where optimism resulted in the supply chain crisis of 2020-2021 and inability of the West to impose full oil and gas embargo on Russia.
Probably yes, so just try it! If any user-configurable env var is missing, I'll add it right away. PhotoPrism already has a LOT of configurable env vars and I don't recall seeing something about S3 there. So it may be inside the app.
Waterfall is a mostly manufactured pejorative by proponents of new processes. In what form it did exist, its practices were far from ubiquitous and mostly limited to government or very large corporations. Scrum arrived to slay a mythical beast.
If you run "ad campaigns" like Monsanto I don't think you can really call it unfair at this point. Why demand fairness here?

That's not 'only used in German-speaking countries', unless you insist on the (translated) naming.

It's called 'an apprenticeship' in the UK for example, and similarly elsewhere I assume.

Some universities offer them for professional degrees now too - I had a colleague at Arm who was part-time and a student on such a programme. (Two days a week year round apart from a break for exams iirc - quite distinct from the (more common) summer internship format.)
While I get their point of not enforcing hard tree hierarchies, I hate that as a consequence there is no folder structure. The integrated note explorer is quite cumbersome to use IMO, so dealing with files externally would be more convenient
Heroku is the classic free db (and free app hosting). Fly.io is an alternative that also gives you both.

On heroku you can create a bunch of free small DBs and apps, and on fly it's 3 services (container or db node) per account I think, but unlike Heroku, your apps won't go to sleep.

I'm amazed by this paragraph:

"He’s examined a technique known as ‘loving-kindness meditation’, for example, which is inspired by the Buddhist practice of Metta Bhavana. The practice involves contemplating people in your life – from friends and family to acquaintances and strangers – and cultivating good wishes and feelings of warmth for them."

This is regular Christian prayer. We Catholics pray for other people, every day.
Your message came through just fine for me in your first post. I wouldn't be too self conscious about it. But, as another poster pointed out, it's true that morals carry a religious connotation.
This looks pretty cool, thanks for doing that. I hope you'll manage to extend revenue share scheme. I would appreciate a bit more info about that revenue share scheme (like is photoprism getting 1c/user/month and it's just ""floss-washing"", or is it more? or maybe without showing an actual value, showing photoprims's developer opinion on whether they think the revenue share is fair would be nice)

Even though this clearly target FLOSS-friendly users, which are already aware of stuff, they don't necessarily know all the floss services. So my recommendation would be to make an additional, more opinionated pod page (but I've never made a product in my life, so my advice is probably not worth much):
- Show ""competing"" proprietary services in front of the pods, for people to maybe better understand what it is about
- Make a subset list of ""recommended"" services, photoprism/photoview are redundant, developer/sysadmin stuff should probably not be listed, pick just one RSS aggregator (I personally use TinyTinyRSS which has a great Android appif I can add my own grain of salt)

Thanks for the product and I wish you good luck
> The manifesto’s authors may have looked like textbook engineers, in button-downs with cell-phone holsters, but “a bigger group of organizational anarchists would be hard to find,” according to Jim Highsmith.

The word "anarchists" fits in its purest sense of tossing the org chart. Yet its common meaning of "bomb thrower" hardly applies.

I typically describe Agile as "A small, stable cadre of ninjas getting it done."

Projects wind up with too much scope, a revolving-door staff, and a dearth of wizards to cut through the technical thicket.

The discussion of "tech debt vs. 'green field' projects" minimizes the threat of legacy code/data to any agile effort.

We need to talk about a "software archaeologist" specialty where one tries to plow through a mound of garbage left by the predecessors and seeks to figure out what prescriptions their therapists had written for them.
This was always a gripe of mine, although I assume it's for our own good... I wouldn't want to accidentally turn my watch off mid dive.

If there is more game in there, they sure did a great job at hiding it.

I didn't miss the massive progress in IT. I mean, obviously I didn't, we're having this conversation on HN.

However, progress in IT, in bits, while fine and useful, is simply not as powerful as progress in more basic industries, in atoms. Having the means to (over)feed seven billion people (1940s tech spread around the world) is more important than having the means to (mis)inform seven billion people (1980s tech spread around the world).
It makes sense that the higher the proportion of capital is invested in stocks, the less return there is in the long-term.

But I find it hard to believe that the relationship is so precisely predictable.

A website tracking it is here; looks like the R^2 is slightly lower than what the blog post shows, but it's still robust well after the post: https://financial-charts.effingapp.com/

Would it hold true in the future? Would the pricing not accelerate, and would the market not react more immediately if people were more aware of the relationship?

On the other hand, perhaps the short-term reaction is included in the 10-year return.

Reporting gems that deserve some attention
Why is it that people think it's okay to give 18 year old a machinegun and a granade and to send them to kill, or trust them with a 40 ton vehicle, but they can't be trusted at basic everyday life?

Even teenagers are perfectly capable of most administrative tasks. People rise to the challange, if the environment is right
I think that's about excessive sunbathing, which is a thing in certain circles, and certainly was a few decades ago. These days everybody is sitting inside with their games and streaming services, and I think it would do a lot of people a lot of good to go outside a bit more often. Just don't spend it at the baking in the sun all day long at the beach.
I think the quality is hit and miss, even with premium batteries. I had enough devices damaged or entirely ruined by a leaked battery so now I remove them from anything not actively used.

If anyone knows a reliable model for AA/AAA cells that will absolutely not leak when left unused in a device for year+ I would love to hear it.
Ah, but I remeber the 1970s and 1980s when the bankrupt hellhole was considered (by outsiders) one of the worst places on Earth and a place you would only go if you had a suicide wish. You would expect to get mugged or shot, bad graffiti covered every surface, and junkies filled every cold-water walk-up that hadn't yet burned down.

The "broken window" approach to law enforcement started a reversing trend. Seems like that approach has been dropped again, and the old New York is coming back.
> The trouble with a mechanical off switch is that you cannot easily / periodically turn it on, so it depends on your usecase.

That is not trouble, that is the whole point.
the real problem is the design team doesn't give two shits about neither users nor developers of the product... developers aren't treated as customers by design teams and then everybody is confused why the thing doesn't work.

New Hope: Role of Secure by Design
What an incredible industrial process. So many people involved, and that was just the type-setting and printing. Incredible pressure too where if the product doesn't make it to market in time, the key morning sales window is missed, and the product becomes obsolete.

I wonder what happened to all this machinery in the end? It was mentioned that it would be auctioned, but I can't imagine the buyer continued to operate this process for much longer. It would be nice to think that they're still operational in a museum somewhere, albeit without the scale and pressure of deadlines.

> and i noticed you omitted the method of the owner selling the share (to a third party).

This is not a method for the company to transfer wealth to the owner. This is a way for a third party to exchange wealth with the owner. It doesn't affect the value of the shares.

And for virtually any normal share in a company (that I know of) that either generates income or is expected to do so in the future, the share owners has the ability to extract that revenue directly through dividends, buybacks or even by liquidating the company and selling the assets directly.

This means that they discussion is hypothetical for all such companies.

If you could name one company that is being traded at a significant valuation that has been set up in a way that makes it impossible to extract value from it to its owners, I would be interested to know about it, as it might prove me wrong.
That is correct, although I agree with the GP that it's a bit unclear. My preferred practice for this is to put the underscore at the end, so it would be make_ and asdict_

I don't get the issue. You write a function to check if a number is odd. You seem to have this function in every project so you make a package for it so you, and others, can easily include it. This is exactly what npm is made for?
> it is common to become intolerant of code that they used to consider perfectly readable

Before this tooling, my experience is that people are less tolerant of whatever isn't they prefer. If familiarity breeds readability, why not adopt a standard?

I also assume your characterisation is sensationalised to fit the comparison: all valid python is readable, but some can be read faster, and more importantly - errors are easier to spot, if its in a familiar format.

wrt the lifting scenario, I'd have to ask what "strong aversion" means; presumably good form is intended for situations that you repetitively lift weights, where long-term unbalanced lifting would cause damage. If that's not the case, maybe we should all lift with good form?

Lithium batteries, even when they don't provide power, slowly lose power.

They can also "degrade" when they're not in designated voltage range. This is one reason why most batteries are soldered, because they need to be regulated at all times.

So no, you cannot "turn off" a battery. A battery should either provide power, or be plugged to a charger.
That's not what the Buddha professed to teach. He taught the illness (dukkha) and the cure for that illness (the eightfold path). A basic framework of ethics girds the path. Almost no one would argue with them: no lying, cheating on your spouse, killing, etc.

A fundamental misapprehension of these teachings is what gets people wound up. The Buddha's teachings are not going to answer if rent controls are good policy or not because the world in which the laity live is a stew for the perpetuation of dukkha. Certainly not lying, cheating or killing are all good principles for living a life of less dukkha but given the Buddha's observations that samsara has no beginning or end spending your life on answering if rent controls are good policy or not is doomed to be unlasting and unsatisfactory.

The dhamma is not to be realized through discursive thinking alone. It must be directly experienced. The Buddha invites anyone to practice the teachings and discover for themselves if they are bullshit or not. So sit and examine or don't. Throwing the teachings under the bus because people want to pull out the part they like and dump the rest is wrong practice and the Buddha was painstakingly clear on this.
>> We test these conflicting theories of change in a corpus of 10,830 works of fiction from 1880 to 1999 and find that slightly more than half (54.7 percent) of the variance explained by time is explained better by an author’s year of birth than by a book’s year of publication.

Ten thousand works! Wow, the authors did some reading!

Oh, no, wait. They used topic modelling. Basically, two people manually labelled a corpus with 10 categories of topic and then they trained a text classifier on that data. Then they used the classification to draw conclusions about the texts in the corpus.

I'm so sorry to be the typical disparaging HN commenter, but trying to understand literature through text modelling is like trying to enjoy nature by counting the trees in the forest. And yes, I'm aware it's common practice. That doesn't make it any more sensible.

I haven't used one so not going to pick one to link, but a quick search finds scales that claim to run on ambient light.

Based on a 30 year old calculator I have, I would expect them to work fine.
Sure! There are lots of parts to the job:

1) Maintenance - rebuilding indexes, managing disks
2) Performance - identifying problems, training devs
3) Architecture - helping people change DB architecture at scale
4) Automation - DB-as-code and automatic migrations

Some of these go away or reduce with the cloud but an awful lot of companies don't or can't use the cloud. Even if we theoretically could, we might have a large existing database on a live system that would not be quick to migrate to the cloud (the copy process would take long enough) only to find out later that there is some issue with performance or pricing, so we leave it where it is on-prem.
I felt like the justification for saying that agile was not good for underrepresented groups came very late, but it is there and it actually is not a bad argument.

> We’ve long known that eliminating bureaucracy, hierarchy, and documentation feels great, until you’re the person who needs rules for protection.

I think the article eventually makes good arguments for this, at least if you are willing to say that code review and pair programming are things that spring out of the spirit of the manifesto.

Basically they author is claiming that the goal of the agile manifesto is to remove oversight from developers so that they can focus on "the project". The downside is that you are losing oversight of bad behaviour, which gives space for work-place bullying. (and the other downside argued is that developers, who are also stakeholders, do not have a voice in questioning the utility of the project overall).
I have a digital LCD clock, a giveaway by NTT from a trade fair, that still works with the same single Maxell AA battery since 1998. The battery quality must have been amazing at the time, or the clock uses almost no power. I honestly don't know how that's possible. :D
