...participants were asked to choose one of the following:

A free Hershey’s Kiss

A $0.13 Lindt truffle (a superior product in quality that retails for multiples more than a Hershey’s Kiss)

Well obviously, I'm getting a free thing as a no-brainer, and then I also decide whether I want the paid thing or not.

They seem to be oblivious to transaction costs. What if they offered free candy after the e-mail confirmation, but the paid truffle no strings attached?
People under sanctions are also sanctioned from using cryptocurrency under penalty of law.
Even once (if) we get to negative co2 it will take centuries for the temperatures to drop back to pre-industrial levels. We’re still taking “only” slowing down temperature increase for well beyond the lifetime of anyone alive today.
Yeah this was absolutely the case for me, except with Hackers. Same age, I think. Good times :) Maybe not entirely different direction, but it had a huge effect on me and was downright inspiring.
It's literally impossible to stockpile all essential goods.
Records, pattern matching and the like are eons better than POJOs manipulated by reflection. Especially once value types come and many record type can be propagated as a value type, it will also cause huge speed improvements.
This is something I've been wondering about lately. People still talk about the blockchain, but how relevant is the blockchain anymore? It seems like most people never directly interact with it.
So many Google engineers have asked this question and run into the same answer: the org chart prevents real action towards unifying services across Alphabet’s holdings. Sometimes that’s a bad thing, but in many cases I would expect regulatory compliance in local areas to trump other kinds of safety concerns.

Note: I am a Xoogler and was far more concerned about the state of the organization in early 2016 than in any year since I was “hired” as an L3 Engineer in Network Software Engineering and Testing in Google’s Cloud division. While I do not expect that to mean anything, it does mean that politics and workplace safety matter more to me than most people. Google paid me less in total compensation over that time than anywhere else I have worked internationally. Alphabet Women decided to walk out separate from issues with Maven, Dragonfly, TCP, BBR, BBRv2, Stadia, and other “magic” features that clearly risked lives long before Waymo admitted that even DeepMind can’t “solve” self-diving cars any better than ReCaptcha’s success rate.

> delta encoding of timestamps, and then letting a good standard compression algorithm such as zstd or deflate take care of the rest

This can cut both ways. If the integer data is irregularly distributed, you may increase entropy and give the compressor a harder time than it would have just looking for slightly longer common substrings

I've lost count of the number of compression experiments where some fancier encoding that greatly reduced redundancy in the uncompressed representation also happened to worsen (or at least have no effect on) the compressed output size. Would even be tempted to say it more often than not makes things worse
I used TikTok and posted videos on it for about three months last summer. I was mostly posting nature education stuff and replying to people's questions about math. I wasn't going gangbusters, but growth was positive and obvious. Certainly a lot faster than any other platform I've been on. Plus, the community is super interactive. Even as an upstart, I was getting replies from popular accounts to my replies to their posts.

You can say just about anything about the content on TikTok. There's vapid stuff. There's funny stuff. There's informative stuff. There's insightful stuff. It's all there and you can easily shape your feed to whatever you want.

But there's also a lot of really dark stuff. And by that I mean how TikTok themselves interact with people. I once got suspended for updating my profile to say I liked Star Trek. I'd randomly get content warnings and videos removed for "sexual" content for videos that didn't even contain any people. And I was only experiencing the tip of the iceberg. I saw several popular accounts get banned, often for "sexual content" or "harassment", of people who did nothing of the sort.

And of course, appeals for review were always useless.

There are a lot of hidden anti-features in TikTok, too. User accounts exist in different classes, based on follower count (undocumented, naturally). Certain features don't get unlocked until you hit a certain number of followers. I got high enough that I could post 3 minute videos, but I never got high enough that I was allowed to put a link to my website in my bio (that got me another suspension). New accounts get spread further, more often, to give you a dopamine boost of attention that you end up chasing with no insight into why your viewership is dwindling even though you're learning and posting better videos. Various hidden rate limits are in place that can trigger account suspensions if you do something like edit your bio too many times in a row (like, maybe cuz you're fixing a typo). There are shadow suspensions, too, where going over a certain quota of posts means your subsequent posts won't show up in anyone's feeds, which can happen easily if you're having fun with making reply chains.

And always. Always the complete lack of human review. It became really clear that the "report user" button is being abused to brigade people off of the app. As I said, I saw several popular accounts get banned for trumped up charges, with some extremely worrying patterns emerging regarding the race, sex, and sexual orientation of said accounts (and never any of their content, that I could ever tell).

TikTok is an amazing app and community. But TikTok is also an extremely terrible company. For that reason, I gave up on it, and I strongly discouraging getting started with it.

It's mentioned above, no?

Holding salary as hostage until they move or resign.

The other possible outcomes are not providing experience letters, acknowledging employee worked, badmouthing, and harassing your next co-workers.

Also, many big companies here do contracts with clauses that charges a service fee and take salary or bonus back if the worker doesn't work there for at least 2 years.

If you leave soon, you might end up with negative pay.

There are lots of potential ways to force this.
The problem with most social media that is “clingy” (non scientific term :) , the ones that manipulate so you keep viewing is that it adds to what is called “fragmentation” (scientific term) where you consciousness is being scattered, instead of flowing. Your brain is constantly being interrupted in the process it was doing. This is especially true when you constantly need to check your phone.

“a T-shaped organization is both good at the management of its existing operations, as well as being good at the strategy and innovation needed for a healthy future.”

Some might say that this just describes a ‘viable’ organisation.

Imposing your own meanings on everything without letting the outside world participate can work for a while. But if there was a boulder falling on you then I don't think it'd really help; it's going to win and you're going to end up unhappy about it.

If I’m not mistaking, the reason why it became a sticking point is because the Alacritty dev had suggested it before Windows Terminal ran into this issue, and they were opposed to it at that point. Is it petty? Honestly, I won’t try to judge that.

It is more that you live in an anti brestfeed bubble then anything else. 57.6 percent of mothers breastfeed after 6 months. That is not rare, that is majority.

Also, women who stay with baby for few months or weeks arw no rarity - and breastfeeding is significantly easier in that setup. Not everyone can or find it comfortable, but it is not that much PITA in median.
There is indeed a lot of good content on TikTok. And it's eerily good at showing me things I'm interested in, in a way other social media sites utterly fail at.

But (not having deliberately tried to "train" TikTok), it also shows me plenty of content I find depressing or juvenile. And I am firmly convinced that the experience of continuous scrolling through very short videos damages my brain and attention span much more than watching a traditional TV show or movie.
You just put your finger on what has been frustrating me and cryptocurrency for the past few years, thank you

I agree. I just thought I’d sidestep any potential debate and reiterate the heart of the matter which should be impossible for anyone to deny.

The demonstration on youtube is really nice. The 500 x 500 matrix of objects showed a really fast speed up.

I suspect though that internally theres still a lot of plumbing that needs to be changed on top of what they've already changed. It was the same way for reflection, lambdas, threads. They really do a great job on iterating and keeping backwards compatability too.
I don't understand why anyone pays for YouTube either. It doesn't make any sense.
perhaps borders can be documented with a "claims" attribute, so that in the case they are disputed, the different claims are shown at the same time
Vouched for this. Names are important, it’s disingenuous to suggest US and Iraq played an equal role in initiating the engagement.

IMHO people are not cogs, you cannot masure them all with only a few parameters, we are so kuch more complex than that, and there should be a absolute ban in the use of AI and software tools to measure (and spy) employees, only allowing those softare tools that facilitate capturing and keeping record of those observations perfomed by other humans.

I am not saying we humans are perfect to handle that complexity, hence when humans are the ones behind such desition making it is rarely done by a single person
I'm putting money in index funds every month. That's the best low maintenance strategy for surviving all market conditions.
I don't quite get the benefit of pull model by default either. A pull model by default means that it's not easy for a library to publish its metrics. For instance, every god damn application is expected to implement a `/metrics` endpoint for a freaking agent to publish the application's metrics to Prometheus. With Monarch, any library or application can simply publish metrics to Monarch's API. Similarly in Netflix, publishing to its Altas system is totally transparent to library authors, with the help of their metric library.

Sometimes I feel many open source systems do not give a shit about productivity.
My take from just the comments in the thread, not the article, is that most people like social media or think there is some benefit in it for them.

I, like some others here, am in the minority. HN is my only social network and I consider this more a forum. I am not on any social network as my opinion about them is they are tools to spy on you and waste your time.

I am not disputing that there isn't some good stuff on these networks just that I'm not interested in being a product or wasting my time looking at trivial pish; I would also include training a social media AI system in this too.

All power to you if you find benefit in these networks but I'm yet to come across anything worth the effort on them.
That's like... the worst of both worlds? You get a worse dev experience compared to regular js and your users get a memory hog that makes their machines go whirrrr instead of a snappy, lightweight Qt program.
I wonder how far you could push the web into this mode.

Everything in tiny ascii strips. Even shopping, or other needs. A challenge in cute minimalism (not crippled).
You are correct.

I think the saddest thing is how addicted people have become to it. Instagram too.

Just read through the comments on this post, so many people defending it even though the content is just user-generated hot takes with catchy quotes and people saying things they want to hear and want to agree with.

It’s poison.

Be careful. If all you get is what you want to hear, you aren’t training TikTok, TikTok is training you!

And you keep coming back to the feeding tube for more.

You don’t - but the compiler needs to test if 1 is true (so conceptually 1==1) every iteration if it isn’t an optimising compiler.

They lack the code to remove a tautological test.

But approximately all compilers these days are optimising compilers, so don’t worry about it.
A lot of Windows 11 excites me, but seeing it move ever closer to enforced accounts, adverts and generated news has moved me to Linux.
I get that, and sure enough for certain workloads it is definitely not ideal. But I think you would be surprised at how fast it can actually be.

In projects where you can’t get away from object allocation (due to it being less deterministic for example) with some clever trick like arenas and the like, chances are the GC will be actually much faster than malloc-ing them all — and while it may not sit well with you, GC running in the background just amortizes the cost of each deallocation to basically zero time overhead (of course at the cost of memory overhead).

But I’m not trying to dismiss your experience or anything, the JVM has its place and of course there are plenty of use cases where it is not the best fit at all.

Unfortunately paywalled[1] and I can't even read it myself to verify if it's the right article. But it was in HD, a local newspaper.

I have some inside info, which is how I heard about it. This guy Folke Straube that the article mentions is part of the scam. But they had another guy in Switzerland acting as a front so Folke actually got away with it.

The article I linked is just about the many complaints raised against him and his business practices. And I believe they mention the charging stations as part of it.

There was a project in Sweden called Klimatklivet where you could get grant money for anything that would combat fossil fuel consumption. So they applied for this and got money from both Sweden and the EU to build a lot of charging stations.

Really the gov is at fault for approving this because as far as I can recall it was a very ambitious number of charging stations, national coverage. And only a few were built, the rest of the grant money was just taken.

My retirement funds are heavily invested in the stock market and I haven't lost nearly as much value as Bitcoin et al. And I'm convinced the stock market will recover in the next thirty years before I retire.
I tried this with real data (Satellite and Columbus module telemetry). At least for the timestamps, it is always a big win, because values are typically being sampled at a precisely or at least somewhat regular frequency.

For sample values, it is not as clear cut. The best way I found is to just try both approaches and use the one that results in better compression, if you can afford it. But for values I usually don't bother.
Yup, exactly this. I quit smoking multiple times and dieted one time (lost ~20 pounds).

You have to "hack" your brain into enjoying the unpleasant sensation like it is something good. Even if you feel like the world will end, nothing happens.

Doing other activities help indeed, but in order to do this, you sometimes need massive changes in your daily habits/lifestyle. I feel like these changes are the hard to maintain part since you are constantly fighting to do "the right thing" instead of "the pleasurable thing"

P.S : I still smoke & overeat

They spent a lot of money on stock buybacks [0]. Maintaining production capacity was not a priority. Never forget what Milton Freedman said, the first priority of a company is to increase profits for its shareholders. With the recent evolution of finance, that priority term is getting shorter. The value must be brought for the next quarter. What happens 6 months from now is becoming less and less relevant.

Mr. JammiDodger's view on “Gender Criticals” [video]
Instagram was initially super awesome. You could look up some totally obscure hashtag about, say, #68040 and find a ton of photos relating to 68040-based computers. Every image with the hashtag was actually directly related. Maybe you still "can" look up such hashtags, but the platform became so overrun with what I would call "noise" (and then got bought by Facebook), so I haven't logged in in years and refuse to now... What I mean by "noise" is, I'd search some seemingly-specific topic only to find that it has of course been appropriated by some pop culture thing that is completely irrelevant to the previously-unique term. I really just want to see stuff related to my totally niche interests, and it started to become impossible to actually do that. Also, any actual on-topic posts became fewer and fewer, I suppose as people like me realized it wasn't the platform for them.
Absolutely but how hard is it to regulate an industry in a culture that prides itself on minimal government oversight?
I have had black friends point out incidents of anti-Black racism to me that I definitely hadn't seen before, but I have as often had black friends perceive racism where definitely none existed, and black friends who did not see it where it definitely did. It happens enough, that I think only people who don't have much interaction with different races and classes would believe that only black people can tell what racism is. People have all degrees of sensitivity, empathy, perceptivity and hair-trigger paranoia; sometimes in the same person.
I imagine there would be some serious legal concerns with releasing the raw data (I work for Google, but no special insights into this project)

That's really cool. Turner's phone company background was a very interesting facet of his characterization. I'm sure it was to many a Sneakers-like experience.

Personally I liked this factor, and the Higgins character, enough that I outlined some fanfic in which Higgins quits the agency and convinces Turner to help him out on various freelance jobs. I thought they made a very rationally-sympathetic pair in the film.
This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm sorry, but you fucked up, with the focus being on "you". Phenibut is notorious for building tolerance fast, and having bad withdrawal.

I really really dislike it when people try dangerous things in obviously wrong ways, then act like it's society's fault that they were available. No, it's not. I've tried a lot of things over the years, and I've been properly paranoid with most of them. I'm extremely creative with treating my insomnia but guess what: I have two doctors I check with. I don't care when they laugh at me (like when I told them I'm taking 1/60 mirtazapine pill), or when they shrug. I keep checking for the moments when they say "no, that's a really bad idea", and I keep doing that even if they keep saying nothing for 10 years at a time. Because even one "no, that's stupid" makes it worth it.
> There is no individual "self" inherent to any conscious phenomena

I agree the self is not at the level of phenomena. It's higher up.

What makes a self a self is having its own goals distinct from the goals of others. Each self needs to assert their own values in order to succeed. The self emerges from the goal-game interaction, if we can metaphorically describe life as a game.
