Working day and night on some light bit of code, while blasting k-pop or old school punk rock. Doesn't necessarily have to be coding; it's often just tweaking themes or playing with animations or particles.

It doesn't necessarily make for a great career though, because much of the job is unrelated and you don't really get to work all night. It was fun to do something, fall asleep, then wake up and continue.
It's also of note that no meditation tradition drinks sours.

Backgammon is a game I wish I’d picked up young. Anything that lasts that long is worth a look.

Edit: I meant lasts that long in the sense of being played for the past 5 millennia. I didn’t mean the duration of a game.
It's clear they are just outclassed by Disney+. People thought the hard part was creating the streaming platform, the content was mostly licensed with a few exclusives. It's now clear that exclusive content is everything. Disney have new content every month (ie. Moon Knight -> Obi-Wan Kenobi) and high quality movies like Luca and Turning Red.

Netflix's strategy seems to be just get big name actors and mediocre creatives and hope it works. The Adam Project might have a lot of viewers but how many of those are just because it's there? How many people would say "The Adam Project is my favorite movie" and how does that compare to Luca?

Netflix has been essentially making the equivalent of direct to DVD movies as its whole strategy while Disney has been bringing their best. They are becoming The Asylum of the streaming world.
Do not route everything through the VPN then, only bind your BitTorrent client to the VPN’s network interface. Also has the advantage that if the VPN connection accidentally drops, your BT client doesn’t start transmitting on your residential and expose your IP.

Stupid is probably the wrong word here; "clueless"? I personally think consumers are on the verge of reinventing TV channels, with each streaming service acting like a channel. Consumers, who liked that Netflix had so much content in one place, are slowly pushing time to go backward.

Vance (YC W22) Is Hiring
You're very welcome. The Ink and Switch folks have more interesting posts (and a few released prototypes) that advance the conversation, which are dense and thoughtful:

You're right that the economic incentives aren't such as to produce highly polished frameworks, libraries, and apps yet, and the public discourse is fairly diffuse. An entrant that just popped onto my radar is Aphrodite:

Another org that may turn out to be a player is the Bluesky team that was spun out of Twitter:

Adhoc mesh networking is something that has been potentially available forever, but existing business models of network operators (who subsidize and resell — and therefore shape — hardware) are hostile to it. R&D-wise it is sidestepping mobile communication devices per-se and finding applications in niches like autonomous drone swarm coordination, which is obviously restricted to mostly military applications. In the absence of direct support for similar capabilities on smartphones (or the ability to add such support through Software Defined Radio networking) we see apps like Briar filling the need with occasionally-connected approaches:

https://briarproject.org/

Besides the various terms mentioned previously, you might also find the phrase "offline-first" of interest.
I’m curious about this. Is it not possible to buy usage data from other network operators without owning them? As much as I hate it, I’d expect this is sold much like location data is.

Sure, you may not get the raw traffic but that seems not very useful for FB.
If it is true that Musk is so much rectal sunshine, then one suspects his "rightward" drift and Twitter war may bring the beat-down.

I'm absolutely certain that everyone else is a fool.
The Catholics in your example think they're doing the right thing, the Thelemites know that they're doing the WRONG thing on purpose for any given occult operation. I am more knowledgeable on OTO, but Thelema falls into an area of clandestine Masonry in which all non-initiates are regarded as sub-human animals. The entire function of Crowley's work is to set changes into motion to create an theocratic occult elite totalitarian state, the "Age of Horus." The primary acts to bring about material change from mental will (aka magick) are all SEXUAL, the eucharist for the assemblies is derived of semen, menstrual blood, and fecal matter baked into wafers. It's hard to put metaphysical ideas into elevator pitch style explanation, but I assure you, those who work Crowley's programs are intentionally and knowingly doing awful things for selfish means in horrible ways that no sane person could dream of. Let's put it another way, if you knew Jimmy Saville, Jimmy Page, and various Danish nobility (see: Dutrox incident) had a secret society to commit sexual crimes in a ritualized fashion to bring about metaphysical changes, would that resemble anything you could remotely called "good"?
I took a similar typing test on a typewriter and managed to get in 65 words per minute for the required text, due to my time with computers.

But I barely passed, because there was no error correction allowed. No backspace key. Although business typewriters of the time often had the ability to let you correct at least one character, either by buffering a few keystrokes or with actual "white out" over-printing, it was just as common to find yourself working for someone with a cheap typewriter and a bottle of white paint.

That was 1988. Summer job temp placement office at hometown university.

I attended college far away, a place noted for its computer science department, where there were $20,000 workstations on campus for the department's students. I don't know how many students had their own machines in the dorm, but the ratio on our floor was 1/12.
>iFixit is charging $39 for an iPhone mini battery

It is absolutely fine in US. When iPhone Battery Replacement parts isn't even a listed item on Amazon but only Replacement Kits. ( Likely due to whatever agreement they had with Apple ) And Labour cost are high. One may even borderline call Apple's pricing cheap in the US. And why Apple could claim in court they made no profits in their after sales repairing services .

If you live within the Valeriepieris circle, have retail access to slightly higher than BOM of battery. Things might look a little different.

Hopefully we will have Battery improvements in the next 10 years so most of these discussions will become non-issues.
I believe the timeline is that Obama started phasing them out, Trump halted that, and then Biden started phasing them out again. Good reminder that executive action isn’t worth the paper it’s written on either way.

Is there any reason the desktop version couldn’t do that if Intuit wanted it to?
(I imagine they just artificially limit it to encourage customers to ditch indefinite license purchases in favor of monthly SaaSS subscriptions, ie. it has little to do with technical advantages of the web and much to do with the profit advantages of software that stays on Intuit’s servers.)

I love Navy, and Army, training courses. They even have one on Watchmaking, or Watch Repair. They use a pocket watch, and a Elgin wrist watch, and completely Service both of them.

I wish more textbooks were written like this.

If I was a publisher, I would demand my technical writers lay out what they are trying to convey in a simple straight forward manner.

Hell--I see nothing wrong with using comic book format in order to convey knowledge.

My biggest gripe in college was being given a overly verbose "phone book" from the 80's for a course.

Where are the new texts though?

The arm forces must still have texts they write, but I don't see them on the internet?

I'm assuming there's no copyrights because we pay for the teaching material through taxes?

I'm specifically looking for new texts of Electronics, HVAC, Auto mechanics, Watch Repair, but that one might not be needed anymore, Machining, Programming, Computer repairing, Radio Repair, etc.

(I haven't looked that hard.)
Completely tangential, but any recommendations on online complex math courses for engineers who haven't been in school for 15+ years? :D

>> “Consider a law firm. Do the founding partners go out and hire a Lawyer Manager to order them around, and then do they hire a VP of Lawyering to order the manager around? Do they then hire a CEO to rule over everyone and a CFO to handle the finances and a COO to schedule court dates and such? ..."

Large law firms often/sometimes do have CEOs, COOs, and CFOs. However, often the CEO is one of the partners.
I still don't see how it's the consumers' fault. Say there was one single person out there who wasn't an idiot or clueless, and just wanted to watch some TV after work. What should this person have done?

Thanks for making me double-check. I was going to link [1], which was published June 2017, but was not aware of the burials found in Nov. of that same year. I assumed he was simply confusing it with similar sites that have long been known to have subfloor burials. In my defense they seemingly haven't published the burial in any papers that I can find, only in-person lectures that I'm not in the habit of attending anymore. Still, my mistake.

cool hack
While it is a valid point, Id argue that Netflix could have survived this - they had billions of dollars to create original content, and then they did create it, but some how screwed it all up. There’s at best 1 or 2 good show and no good movie Netflix has made in years. And anything half decent they cancel mercilessly without giving it a chance. This is not just in the US. The comparison of original content quality between Netflix and other services in India for example is even more laughable.

In the end, Netflix is a company that used to be great and kinda made some of the most genius ideas to fight the Goliath but was undone by a single dude leading a team making poor choices on what content to make. 3 Adam Sandler movies for half a billion dollars? I’m assuming this is as big or a bigger blunder than Zillow, and was powered by stupid data science ideas as well, probably.
I will tell you an anecdote: I pay and share subscriptions to 3 different streaming services with extended family. The only service we would never drop is Netflix. Maybe this will change. Maybe this is just anecdotal. But IMO Netflix brand/service has gained staying power compared to other streaming competitors.

DHT work is fun - you can scrape a lot of interesting content. BitTorrent and Tor both use DHTs for content discovery.

If you’re interested in building a minimum viable scrapper, this is a good reference: https://github.com/retrohacker/Taboo/blob/main/lib/index.js

The trick to content discovery on the DHT is to parrot any incoming request you receive. So if someone asks for a hash or announces a hash, you turn around and ask for that hash too. You can spin up multiple DHT nodes to increase your coverage of the table.

Some cool user experiences can be built off of this. I’ve discovered a tonne of interesting content using “BitTorrent Roulette” applications that download random hashes from the DHT - often times finding fascinating content from languages I don’t speak.
Fun fact: The 'smartphone' version of MS Activation still works with XP keys. I put XP on an old ThinkPad a few months back to play some early-2000's games and was able to activate it this way.
Netflix is not dead but they focused too much on the R rated content for grown ups and relied too much on algorithms for content too. The reason why cable and free television stays PG-PG13 is that is where the bulk of the population wants to stay. Watching television really is really a family thing even with the explosion of screens. Of course they unearthed and exploited the lack of content for grown ups but it’s obvious they exhausted that market. Once Disney showed up with family content it was a no brainer for people like me who stopped watching Netflix a long time ago and just kept paying to cancel
Wait, is this filtering based on IP or DNS? How do they make sure their whitelist remains up to date? (I assume it's HTTPS, so those are basically the only two options...)

If it's DNS based, there should be simpler workarounds, so I guess it's just IP based?
I wonder if anyone has stated a general law along the lines of "if you can send and receive a bit, you can send and receive anything."

The only issues ended up being that 1) WhatsApp messages are limited to 1600 characters

Concidentally, that's not much bigger than the MTU of standard Ethernet. I don't know how "transparent" the data channel is with respect to non-ASCII (and probably Unicode), but if you use one of the various binary-to-text encodings that exist, you could probably implement Ethernet over WhatsApp. ;-)
Tesla is still a long way from covering demand, even with their current expensive models and with zero advertising on top.

They have no real business justification to expand to cheaper models until they have enough spare capacity.

Building factories and the required battery supply chains isn't fast or easy. Model 2 and 1 will come eventually.

> I wonder if anyone has stated a general law along the lines of "if you can send and receive a bit, you can send and receive anything."

In my country we have a telecom service provider law, which states, among other things:

ARTICLE 57. - Network neutrality. Prohibitions. Service Providers shall not:

a) Block, interfere, discriminate, hinder, degrade or restrict the use, sending, reception, offering or access to any content, application, service or protocol except by court order or explicit request of the user.
I feel like this is true, but just anecdotally. Is there any good literature on the cost of if/else vs polymorphism? Does branch prediction really work that well in practice vs polymorphism?

Poll HN: Next/prev/collapse buttons right or left of username?
When browsing HN threads, I often use the new navigation buttons. One can't simply click next, read some comments, and click again to move forwards: the 'next' button will shift per comment depending on username length. Simply moving the username part ("lucb1e 11 hours ago") to the right of the pipe symbols would solve this.

Instead of proposing this directly to Dang, I wanted to get other people's take on it. If it's just me, then there is no need to suggest it.

Rooftop actually has a few advantages that counter act its increased cost vs farms:

- Because the panels are geographically distributed it has less variance. A cloud can pass over a solar farm and you get one huge megawatt swing but when distributed it is much more predictable. If it is 50% cloudy you will get 50% generation continuously. This means grid operators can reliably bring cheaper larger sources with slower ramp rates online that day like nuclear instead of gas turbines. These also reduces the need for energy storage.

- Because the panels are closer to consumers there are less transmission losses and decreased capital cost in terms of energy transmission. Although distribution lines may need to be upgrade to compensate.
No one is proposing those taxes on middle class people. For example, Elizabeth Warren’s proposals would only affect those with more than $50M in assets.

Second, the proposal isn’t to tax on price changes, its taxing the value of the asset at a given point in time. If the value goes down, the tax collected goes down. This is also how property taxes work - it’s a percentage of the assessed value. If the assessed value drops, you pay less in taxes.
Well, that is certainly true. The current top player is like 40 and his aim surprisingly good. It's never happened with StarCraft, especially Brood War, though. Probably too taxing mechanically for anyone not spending 6 hours a day playing to compete at high level.
This view seems to be contradicted by the extent to which people binge-watch shows, which involves way more than 90 minutes of continuous contents.
Not a straw man, it's a real thing. Some people really do not get that "high priority" doesn't equate with "can be done now". I have had to physically draw out dependencies to demonstrate why X should be put on the same priority as Y if they really want Y done, because X is blocking it (in some fashion).
Right. It was all OK back then (it really wasn't), so we should just shrug it off. I mean, Von Braun was only a Nazi because he wanted to play with rockets.

We need to take all this into account.

I in no way, wish to ever deny someone's scientific contributions. We can't deny the genius of MJ and Bowie, but we sure as hell can incorporate the whole person into their legacy while we're singing along.

You're talking about "keeping the fruits of labour", in the context of socialised healthcare, however it seems the majority of the world is doing perfectly fine with socialised healthcare. In fact it seems that less tax money is spent on healthcare in countries that just nationalise it.

That's the relation, that's why it's boring, because you'll never truly argue the point or consider another perspective. You can't be persuaded, and neither can I, reasonably.

So, what's the point.

You might be right about the discussion. But I was thinking about this and I think my point comes down to the basic issue of almost every library or big piece of software. Nobody uses 100% of any big library. Nobody uses 100% of Microsoft Word. Most people use about 20%. But the problem is everyone uses a different 20% so libraries and software have a lot of features.

The argument against jQuery is thus an argument against libraries in general. Why include any dependency that you only use a small part of? You can always implement anything yourself.

The counting bytes comment is because the web, as a platform, is very size-conscious. Rarely does anyone complain about the size of libc and how, since they only use file functions, that should just call into the Linux kernel directly.

Would we even by having this discussion if you could just tree-shake out all the parts of jQuery that you never use at build time?
