At oneof my previous employers, the CEO and founder had worked at a pretty high level designing some of Google’s first network hardware.

Anyhow, we were forbidden to use any Google product except search (because we couldn’t NOT use Google search). We even opted for some crappy email self hosted thing that was a constant problem for everyone in the company.

It was sort of made clear to us that Gmail at that time was reading/analyzing/storing everything and all of that data was considered more valuable than our search history.

> Building lists out of pairs and then using them as your intermediate format creates a lot of garbage.

I wonder if a Lisp-like language which used vectors rather than pairs as its fundamental data structure might be a better fit for severely memory-constrained systems? On average, vectors take up half the memory consumption of lists.

Such a language would end up looking rather different to Lisp though. Cons cells encourage CAR/CDR and recursion. A vector-centric language would naturally lead to a more iterative programming style.

Maybe collectively we can. In Emacs/SLIME/CCL,SBCL on ARM32,x86-64 ESC + '.' (command 'find-tag') on a symbol in the REPL opens a buffer with the definition of that symbol, provided you have the sources (it's neither decompiling nor reading the definition from the binary, but follows a hint to the source file). So this is more functionality of the environment / tools, rather then the compiler or language. Works beautifully though and in most cases you don't really want the sources embedded within the binary.

In my experience, for communication with people (including myself) using dialup or intermittently connected in some other way, the on-/offline indicator on ICQ was a killer feature, an indication of availability and responsiveness that required no effort to maintain, and I have not seen it usefully reproduced in the always-connected broadband world. Of course, various third-party clients providing “stealth mode” were abundant, so it’s not like this mode delivered everything people wanted out of the box, either. (It might be that the actual important difference was that you used ICQ for casual conversation only, and adding an acquaintance to your contact list was not a given or socially expected; not an implementation or UI issue as such.)

Yes, but you'd have to generate that dummy value upon creating the real value, and then pass it along with the real value so it's available to the spot that needs to consume it. This would ultimately end up being just a much more awkward way of having the real value just track a boolean internally for this and slapping Option around any non-trivial return value from the method.

They also have a hosted service with free and paid tiers[1].

Isn't it possible to use serverless stack to create a serverless cron job combo?
That would make sense. You touch on an interesting point-- that the chips themselves might be somewhat of a loss-leader to just get them out the door, where the licenses *on those chips* are the real money maker. While that might make OP's original statement ("a long time ago... made more money") true, these days it is no longer true.

QTL in Q2 '13 had $1800mil EBT with 88% of revenue contributing to earnings. EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT. Holy cow. QCT in that same year had $600mil EBT with 17%.

For comparison, QTL in Q2 '22 had $1540mil EBT with 74% of revenue contributing to earnings. QCT in that same year had $3340mil EBT with 35%.

I guess really you can only squeeze so much before the market gets annoyed. Given these numbers, I can't see how QCT would be a loss-leader. Why else would the margins on them be increasing, and margins on QTL be decreasing?

My point is, I believe things aren't as lawyer-y as before. The Qualcomm of today focuses a lot more on its QCT division. Licensing is still obviously there, and will always be an incredibly nice moat, but it's not the suffocating "shakedown" it might have been 10 years ago.

This take seems a bit pessimistic about the longevity of society to me. If we still have tens or hundreds of thousands of years to go, just going with whatever was best by 2020 seems a bit ad hoc. Not that I know the future.

The story says it was a redwing, and as a fun bonus in ONE place in article they use the word "thrush":

> Days later, a redwing did appear just 180 miles southwest in Portland, Maine. It was a much better, safer location for visiting birders — a public park instead of someone’s backyard. The ABA email announced it. The thrush stuck around the city for two weeks, where Hitchcox estimated a few hundred people turned up to witness it.

I think a redwing is a kind of bird in the thrush family of birds.

An idea I just had: a little inlay in the upper right showing where you are in the complete image. That would help people realize they could scroll around as well as helping them get context of the shape of the tree.
Also, simpler answer than I already gave: “elastic” and “scalable” X don’t imply a lack of committed resources, but rather just a control plane that auto-scales your commitment to ensure that you’ve always got more than you need.

E.g. AWS Elastic File Store: an auto-resizing NAS-like abstraction, but at any given point, a committed size where you’re paying for unused space.

Vs. Amazon S3 (which might as well stand for “serverless storage service”) — where you only pay for what you use, with no committed capacity beyond current usage.

Sure. The author is positing a dumb "shotgun" system for blanket space denial instead of a system intended to kill a single satellite. Just putting a lot of crap in LEO is good enough for denial. Dumb boxes that can maneuver and choose when to become a pile of crap are even better.
Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote

Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago.

We want to grow more and have a solid cadre of people we can use to attack challenging projects, but we are also somewhat picky about what we take on.

So...that is where you come in...if you have what it takes to perform in a business development/sales role. Write your own ticket, tell us how you could change the growth pattern of our company and what you would want in exchange.

What does "A Once in a Lifetime Bird" tell you that isn't "a long-form article about birdwatching or ornithology or something"? It's not particularly calling you to any specific action. Clicking through and seeing the subtitle "Birding saved one man’s life. Maybe it can save the rest of us from climate change?" makes it even more obvious that it's some sort of personal story.

I read that headline and my first thought is "I don't particularly care about birds, probably not gonna click." (My second thought in this case was "curious to see on HN, I wonder if there's a specific connection?" so I clicked the comments.)

Damn, that is expensive. 100 ppl x 8hrs x 4d x $150/hr = $480000. A half-million dollars to plan the next 3 months… and that’s assuming those were relatively low-paid people ($100/hr x 50% overhead costs).
A tragic news for analogue synth lovers, Dave Smith was the creator of the first digitally controlled analogue polyphonic synthesizer (The Prophet 5) in the 70's, and the co-author of the MIDI spec in the 80's (with Roland I believe). to this day, the MIDI spec is still implemented in most commercial synthesizers and it's an innovation that allowed communication between musical devices.

The MIDI spec is basically as important as TCP-IP in the synth world, because it is an open standard anybody could implement for free.

What you've said about old school managers is actually very wise and rings true.

That old school mentality of "promote the person who sits down the earliest" actually has a lot of truth behind it.

But... I can definitely say, I can see it working.

I use a catch-all eMail account, but only for two reasons:

1. To catch legitimate misspellings. A property deal nearly fell through for my father because his realtor had misspelled his eMail username but gotten the domain correct.

2. To fuck with people who use bogus eMail addresses under my domains to sign up for services. That includes eBay and PayPal accounts. I mean, if you’re going to bullshit with my domain name, bend over and bite the pillow!
I have a very short email address, containing only five characters. It looks like: a@bc.de (But not that.)

I thought that a short email address would be convenient for typing into touch screens and it is, but it's much less convenient for reading out in person. No-one ever believes that it is real, even though it is.

It depends on whether everyone will be born into the first and only generation or the random assignment to people has a time component as well.

Much like how the strategies of prisoners dilemma change If you are playing an iterated game.

For your birth defect example, consider 2 societies, where 1 bans cousin marriage and the other encourages it. In 50 years time the chance of being born with a birth defect is 5x higher in 1 than the other.

That wouldn't matter for the first generation but imagine you will be born to a random generation between now and 1000 years from now. Which do you choose?

Once you take into account time, then growth, social institutions and incentives come into play. You may prefer to bet on a much richer, healthier society that had a bit less equality or freedom in the past for a while.

Maybe? I usually don't (not parent) but it definitely gets me around brick walls sometimes if I'm having trouble thinking outside of the box and a different strategy is needed. It can make boring problems seem more interesting too. Overall, I wouldn't say it's harmful, but it's not like it's enhancing much either. Ymmv.
An alarming number of them are. And consider that in many, many cases, the apps don't even know they're doing it, because the developer is including some SDK that helps them (e.g. SDKs that help them monetize by handling ad placement). The SDKs can do whatever the app can do, so they're quietly siphoning all kinds of data off and sending it back to the publisher of the SDK.

It’s not easy to point to a single instance of “how” but that is not proof that it does not happen. Empirically, wealth is becoming ever more concentrated in an increasingly smaller amount of the population. This is what un-fettered capitalism leads to and it is clearly a failure in the sense that the flow of money inaccurately captures “value”. Would you argue that the masses are becoming ever more useless and that an ever more tiny percentage of the world deserves to increase their share until they own everything? Are they really providing that much value that the world should be their reward? I think not, and it is government’s job to make amends to the system in order to reverse this run-away accumulation of capital. Instead the wealthy just exert their influence on this system to make the positive feedback loop even stronger. This is not a stable system.

> > IME great literature has to connect at an emotional level.

> No. It's has to be more than that

But, it’s not. Great literature, great music, and great art connects at an emotional level, which doesn’t involve logic, reason, or thought. Most of what we consider great art has this quality and it does it effortlessly and without trying.

A formulaic romance novel isn’t great because it’s gratuitous, sentimental, cliche, and panders to our emotional wants and needs; great art meets us where we are now in life, and doesn’t try to pressure or influence us towards one side or another. That’s the difference.

It’s like being surprised or frightened. You have no control over your reaction because it’s hitting you at the fundamental core of your humanity. It’s a feeling, an experience, and ultimately an emotional response on a very primitive level of cognition.

For me, it’s like Picard pulling out his flute and playing the song of his people at the end of "The Inner Light". This isn’t an exercise in thinking, it’s all about feeling. And that’s why that episode is widely considered the greatest.
I was going to say that unfortunately Vimium, Dark Reader, and 1Password support are non-negotiable, but the browser evidently has its own built-in dark mode, and they claim to support both Chrome and Firefox extensions as well?

I'm happy to provide non-Chromium traffic from either Firefox or something else; I'm increasingly running into things (often corporatey things) that only work in Chrome.

It also sounds like they use your icloud for syncing things like bookmarks and sharing tabs and use the built-in password manager, so if you're Apple-only this is a great fit. I hope the tab sharing will be more reliable than Firefox's has been.

Waiting until I can brew install, but looks promising.
