I'm probably fully-in for about 8 hours a month. Half that time it's just raw fear of failure, of not delivering, of having to work, hard, now, or else. The other half is just seizing upon interesting work & entering into that space where my will really is behind making it go. Being fully-in is hard, but I spend a lot of time at 50-80% in.

I did some leetcode for the first time in a couple years the other night & was surprised to find it become 4:00AM on me. Tight reward cycle, that: make. it. go.!

A general producitvity hack is to commit yourself to making a commit every day. It can be shit, bad, barely do anything, and if you want you can rebase it away latter. But commmit, every day, to starting & doing something: commit to comitting. Get on the board that day, show up, even on your bad days.

Starting is often the hardest part.
> there's a tendency to say "well nothing really bad happened, so why did we go through all that effort?

Basically a third of our country didn't go through that effort and the country is mostly still chugging along. Were it much deadlier, things would not have turned out okay.
>I mean your link. You seem to think that webmd article describes how to make baby formula.

I'm not sure what you saw, but I never posted a webmd link.
If this is the case then why wouldn’t workplaces create lots of strong friendships? There is a lot of shared context.
I’m not sure I buy author’s brushing this away as being because coworkers are trained to replace you.
There is lots of competition in school and college also.
Grad school doesn't last forty years though...or does it?
Alexandrescu's books are what caused me to "nope" out of C++ and jump ship to Java.

And when my friend starting working at Google (in C++), I gave him my pile of books.
I feel the same about 5.
Do 3d movies still exist by the way ? Or IMax movies ?
We compared DF with Redis OSS and KeyDB OSS, we have not used any of managed services for the comparison. AWS was used as a platform for using EC2 and cloud environment.
No. TSMC does own that IP. This is about instances where the IP is owned by company B.
I don't know how the legislation would work in a case like that. Most likely Apple would be required to sell replacement parts to everyone, rather than only to its licensed repair shops.

In any case this is a theoretical point, it's usually some stupid little chip on the motherboard that got wet and rusty, not the CPU. Or the screen broke. Or the battery is too old.

Yeah but those people are functional members of society and act relatively rational when compared to untreated severely mentally ill homeless people. Even if you happen to walk by a rapist/murderer/pedo, they're not likely to do anything in broad daylight on a public sidewalk to random passerbys with tons of other people around. The same cannot be said for some homeless.
> I'm pretty sure if they had damning evidence, a single hedge fund could single-handedly force the market to collapse in a couple weeks.

How would you do that? If you knew that Tether had, say, only $10 billion of assets backing it, you'd need to get 10 billion USDT and demand conversion to USD. If you bought those tether, well, it now has $20 billion of assets thanks to you and you lose. Borrowing seems risky, because the people you're borrowing from likely have a vested interest in Tether not collapsing and are going to work against you. So the only safe option is to convince people who hold 10 billion of USDT to cash out for USD pronto.

I will point out that the current drawdown of Tether is consistent with the scenario where liquid fiat assets are fast disappearing from the cryptocurrency ecosystems, and the cryptocurrency companies are fighting among themselves to claim as much of those assets as they can. (NB: There are likely other scenarios that are consistent with available evidence).
This sounds exactly like fashion to me. One just has to look at how often design has changed over the last decade with the many fads and worst UX.

I feel like when you have an org of designers they will justify in wanting to redesign everything because why else do you need them? The same can be said for some POs and devs as well IMO.
Drew can be toxic at times, and on the internet you reap what you sow in smaller communities. That doesn’t excuse the negativity but instead attributes why he is experiencing this hate.
PhD students are like startup founders. You're working for yourself, building something, racing against competitors, trying to get a foothold so that you can have the lifestyle you want in the future. That's why I think both groups get tempted to work a lot.
The Lucene search library has something like this. Data is stored /retrieved via codecs. Most write binary data, but one codec actually writes out all data as text. It is, of course, too slow for production use, but it is great for figuring out what is going on under the covers.

To make friends you need to make mistakes. Litigation culture in the workplace prevents that.
Guys, please open a bug in the repo and plus one it there :)

We plan to implement everything but your votes can affect the priority of the tasks.
I'd bet that (like damn near every other violent crime) it correlates stronger with income than anything else.
Does anyone have some more detailed numbers about the performance improvements? https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=55676 says "a few percent" but I'm more curious with regards to what language constructs, and whether it's mostly from the removal of recursion or the other "closer attention to performance."
btw, it's not just pretty - it has brains too. take it for a spin.
Pretty much anything after C/C++ era comes with a usable build system, modules and a package manager. JS is really stuck dealing with insanely low level issues in shit ways for various historic reasons.

As shitty as Android support matrix can be - it doesn't compare to IE6 web days (at least in terms of UI development, stuff like OS services is entirely next level - but you can't even start doing that in JS so it's not really a fair comparison) - and we're still paying for the technical decisions made in that era (how many people are polyfiling all the way back to stone age and including hundreds of KB of useless shit ?).
Thanks to the Triffin Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triffin_dilemma) the US is fighting an uphill battle to repatriate key industries.
You don't need multiple threads to perform IO asynchronously.

And in reverse, using threads won't prevent lock-ups: the opposite is likely. [Pre-emptive] threads compared to external processes require much more careful coordination that is hard to achieve if you are installing dozen of emacs packages written by different people that manipulate the same state.

unrelated, it is one of the arguments in favor of GIL such as in CPython--it is easier to get right than fine-grained locks.
It's a great practice, if there's one nit - it's probably better to put things like that closer to the beginning of the piece so people are less inclined to fish it out of the bottom and use it for messageboard battle.
Please, Nelson, what is sway?
Does he really see himself as robin hood? Just enter the list of idiots who believe that with donations they will change the world or increase happiness in the world, unconsciously they only do it to feel that they are doing something, but in reality they are not doing anything.

The structure of capitalism is something extremely complex, behind all the products you consume every day, there are factories in India, China, etc, where people are paid less than 1 dollar a day, if you want to move to another place, no You can, you are conditioned by where you are born.

If you really want to do something for the world, you should donate your money to political scientists, philosophers, economists, doctors, biologists working on new post-capitalist economic systems.
Yikes, the amount of information they're requesting on the invitation form is insane
recruiters are absolutely ruthless with the use of correlation in any CRM database they can get their hands on.
I don’t usually comment on my own posts, but…

The important takeaway is the offer is a tell.

The founders are giving fair warning that they do not want your friend to get rich.

That’s different from not caring if your friend gets rich.

Quite different from being happy if your friend gets rich.

And the polar end of the goodwill spectrum from trying to make your friend rich.

All metrics are made up. Some of them are useful.
> It's not in fact, it's well known that if the immigration rate is too high (and this limit gets lower the more incompatible the cultures and people are) in any country you get political instability.

It really is because you're missing the part about where we all have massive immigration and don't have "political instability" (quite the opposite really.) Total first and second generation immigrants here are 25%. Every 16th person is a first generation immigrant originating from outside of Europe. We're still number 7 on the Human Development Index in the world (the US is at 18), and within the top 5 for standard of living. Our murder rate is 1.08, while yours is 4.96! What's this magical threshold that we need to pass in order to get the food riots? Where do you get these ideas?

You're not going to change your mind even a little after what I'm telling you?
Like I said, you don't need class-based views if you split your code correctly.

You have a function, which takes a request and URL parameters, and returns an HTTP response. You add some decorators to require an authenticated user and/or some permissions. That's it.

This is no different than flask views.

Mixins are an OOP pattern that promotes spaghetti code if not done carefully, especially in Python where there is no encapsulation.

ViewSets are from the Django REST Framework, this is simply all the boilerplate code that you copy/paste hundreds of times. And even that, you might not need it if your API is different enough from your database schema. Even more if you don't need an API.

There is nothing "magical", every single framework have a happy path, you should follow it if you decide to use this framework.

And no, Flask is not a framework, it is a library, much smaller scope, much more boilerplate code that you need to copy/paste, or you build your own framework on top of it.

Flask is about the freedom of choice while Django made the decisions for you 10 years ago. Having some experience with Rails, SpringBoot, Phoenix, Symphony, Laravel, Flask, Express, etc... it turns out that I don't want to make those decisions every single time, for every single project.
As far as I've read, there is no effect of immunity debt. On the other hand, there are Covid interactions with reduction or destruction of certain classes of immune cells. This can have the effects which appear to be common viruses out of control. One example is the serious liver hepatitis cases with kids.

then you almost certainly have an unintuitive design and know it, but instead of fixing it you just doubled down on it.
Which is...
It's not just that, it's more born out of ego. Every idiot who can write a CRUD app thinks they're Zuckerberg building the next big thing. Unless you're working in specialized arenas of FAANG, you're not, and that's okay.
You're right. You can also become a manager.
I was waiting for someone to mention Svelte :)

I think it's is very possible that it's the next evolution of innovation in the space. It might actually be a Backbone -> React style quantum leap in terms of tech and adoption. The thing is, that won't happen for another 10 years, if it does at all. It could very well turn out to be a niche technology for most people, with minimal real-life benefits compared to the drawbacks of moving off the mainstream.

Every space has new innovative technologies that risk upsetting the status quo. I'm not saying things are completely boring now. Just that, unlike in the mid 2010s, they are actually stable enough.
We are looking for sustainable way to govern our ecosystem in such a way that it does not depend on a single point of control. We are considering becoming a DAO and are researching this opportunity. No exact details are given, because we don’t have an answer yet.

As for the product itself, it does not use any blockchain
Yeah, my immediate thought was, "You've gotta be jerking me..."
I do. But I think there are benefits to having the FDA (and etc.) provide checks on fraud, wishful thinking, etc. I'm pretty sure that, on balance, it's worth it. If it had been instituted back in the "four humours" times, it would not have been.
Any recommendation for a (short) introduction to HoTT for a working mathematician?
No, it's not just you, and yes, it's definitely changed as I've aged, though I lack the data to say whether it's purely the result of aging, or perhaps it's depression.
Ah, the irony. An article arguing about how fast web-dev is moving is itself considered outdated just four years later.
This describes the issue with PRNGs based on a Linear Congruential Generator. The issues are resolved by using a Mersenne Twister instead, which is the standard PRNG used today basically everywhere.
I can see you've never designed anything! I can think of plenty of things I'd want to monitor on a fridge if I was a fridge designer.

What temperature do they set the fridge to? Do they ever change it? How often do they deice the freezer? Do they use the ice maker / filtered water thing / whatever? How often? How long do they leave the door open normally? What are the temperature / power consumption profiles over time?

That's before we even get to any of the smart features (I have no clue what they are).
You should just write something like this the first time around because just pasting a random line from the article ends up looking like the sort of thing the guidelines harumph about:

Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
1. Well, d'uh.

Also, everything will require a network connection (which is where ubiquitous Internet via cable or satellite comes in). No Internet? Pfft, what, do you live without electricity, too?

2. Pay for these kinds of professions (ever increasing complexity, whether necessary or self-made + decently mentally taxing) will only go up. Not everyone can be a programmer, or a lawyer, doctor, video/audio editor, electrician, etc. Barring some catastrophic event or the creation of good enough AI/robots.

4+5. in 30 years, if current development rates continue, VR will be the next revolution. Super compact and efficient devices + a world where you can do almost anything you want will be very popular with the masses facing ever increasing costs, climate problems, joblessness, lack of housing, etc.

Why even put up with all the bs when you can do the bare minimum and use technological opium the rest of your time? I wonder if VR could be banned in the same manner as drugs, actually.
Is this a project of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atos ? How big is the team, how is it funded and suchlike?
1. I need to see the exact statistic, but IME statistics like that are flawed because they undercount the amount of people served (ie. housing assistance that keeps people housed would count towards the budget, but won't count toward the amount of "homeless individuals")

2. the other possibility is that for the very mentally ill, they actually do need 2x the median income to survive, eg. because of mental illness counseling costs.
Where do you live? Everywhere I've been this year have all been post-Covid. The only places that still seem to be having problems are places with authoritarian governments.
Are PhD students really racing against competitors? I can imagine that in some instances they might, e.g., in the race to discover the structure of DNA, but I don't think it's true in most cases.

That's literally the one time it actually happened. Please find a single other example.
It really just depends on how comfortable you are in the command line. If you know how to get your transactions downloaded from your bank and don't ever want to leave the command line, hledger is great for you -- I've been using hledger since 2019 and love every minute of it.

If you need something point and click, or, need a high "wife-acceptance factor," firefly-iii is not a bad choice.

After coming from hledger, I did try firefly, but, stuck with hlegder due to how amazingly powerful it is with nothing but a text input.
The workplace is more like a relay race than a basketball team. Everyone may share the same project, but they all have different parts to it, and are unlikely to share the same or a sufficiently similar understanding of it.

Do you think AGPL offers such protection? I think even AGPL is fine for Amazon et al, they are happy to dump the code somewhere while selling a managed service with enough wrapper layers. But AGPL is toxic also for self-hosters who aren’t trying to build a managed hosting service, since it applies equally against all parties.
I didn't check your pedestrian deaths during the daytime statistics, but ~4 per day would be ~1400 a year. I did check the number of mass shooting victims, and in 2019 (the most recent year for which data is really meaningful) the total was 180 (~.5 a day), of which 71 were deaths (~.2 a day)[1], or about 20x less likely than getting killed by a car during the daytime.

That's pedantic, but I just wanted to clarify because mass shootings are also in the news.

There's nothing wrong with using a raw pointer as an argument of a function. In this context this is usually equivalent to using a reference. What is wrong, in fact, is passing, instead, a unique pointer (by reference, necessarily) or, even worse, a shared pointer (by value) when there is no need for sharing.
13k isn't a cut off, it doesn't change much. If your are in California medi-cal would be free anyway, and the minimum wage would be much higher.

But...don't live in LA county... Or even California, the options are not either be homeless or live in the most expensive place in the US.
A proprietary programming language called "Natural", and an associated database called "Adabas". Both actually had some advantages, and the internal culture had developed effective ways of working around their limitations, but being proprietary, and that old, had definite downsides.
> Pretty much anything after C/C++ era comes with a usable build system, modules and a package manager. JS is really stuck dealing with insanely low level issues in shit ways for various historic reasons.

But of course JS needs neither a build system (runs from source files) nor a package manager (runs from URLs) and recently even plugged the "no modules" hole.

This is at least part of the goal of the ongoing blockchain experiments.
I highly doubt there is a strong positive correlation between social anxiety and cheating. If anything people with social anxiety are less likely to cheat simply because they don't have any social connections to cheat off of.
Services like that are about the "personal" (parasocial) connection.
Hedges who sit in an office at Wall street never take delivery.

If you're a person who actually needs the future, you need to take delivery. This makes sense on an industrial mega-farm scale, but doesn't make sense at the private-farm scale.

really wouldnt say vercel is a direct competitor to Heroku, insofar as HN is a pretty discerning crew as to how a serverless-only platform differs from one that lets you run servers.
The Vue 3 disaster (in my opinion) shook my trust in the framework forever. I immediately knew this is not a framework I will spend any more time in. What if I "upgrade" my apps to 3 and then Vue 4 comes along with yet another fundamentally different concept? This is not acceptable for apps with any kind of long time support requirement.
Yes I know, Vue 2 paradigms are still usable in 3 but they feel very deprecated.

Sorry, I don't think rational debate is possible here. Your beliefs are not based on science or rationality.
Like a lot of Romanians, I have a very dim view of Mircea Geoană as a statesman or diplomat. The fact that he somehow became NATO Deputy Secretary General only reinforces my suspicion that NATO is quasi-irrelevant as an institution distinct of American interests.

NATO (Stoltenberg, Geoană etc.) will act strictly the way America wants them to act. For now it seems America prefers escalation, so the war will go on...
Ask HN: Work project for laptop and other basics
Hi HN:

Just reaching out to the hn community to see if anyone might be able to point me to a paying coding gig, and also provide a small advance in order to obtain a reasonable laptop to perform the work.

I asked for help here last week, and a number of people sent me emergency food money. I have been rationing this money and should be okay for food until my SNAP food benefits renew this coming weekend. I am living unsheltered, and am seeking to reach a point where I can code full time and build a financial base. I live in the countryside where it's warm, but there are limited resources here.

I do need basic items like a bicycle, a tent, and a membership at the local coworking space. But, most important perhaps is to obtain a laptop, and a paying project to earn the laptop. Does anyone in the community have a spare laptop (min. 8GB RAM/SSD) or can anyone possibly hire me for coding to pay off a new laptop? I am proficient in most phases of web development and am a seasoned software developer who burned out a few years ago. Seeking to start coding professionally again and establish a low-stress coding routine. I am in my 40's in the USA.

Once I am up and running with needed basics, I can then seek work online, then eventually seek an interview for a ft/permanent position. Just problem solving one problem at a time.

If you can help, can you email me at hackernewscontactmail at gmail? Thank you.
The username he goes by is sircmpwn. Hence the 'sir' in the first part of the email address. It isn't too out there as far as emails go.
Yup. The most brutal environments I've ever worked in canned design folk very quickly once a cost crunch arrived. Some startups would even can designers first to save cash.
Yeah I feel like people can't understand the difference between negative stereotypes from the past, "outdated" metaphors (which could be the same thing), jokes, irony, etc, and just apply a silly regex to call something "racist".

Christie is an important author in the whodunit genre, you'd expect she'd be taught in some classes, and the book in question is actually a very good specimen of the genre - people are trapped on an island, they keep dying, nobody knows who the killer is until basically the last page. I'm sure there are similar stories, but if it is being used, cutting it from curriculum because "racism" is absurd.

This single instance aside, are we moving towards a future where students only read approved books that are free of anachronisms, controversy, offence, and we just pretend that's how books are? Then when somebody actually reads a real book they are not going to understand the context, and (maybe an underlying desired outcome) will default to crying "racist!!" because they don't realize language and metaphors used to be different
