I have one piece of potentially unpopular advice: Do not quite social media just because fellow HN users convinced you to. Think it through. There is a vocal contingent of people here who can tell you all about how bad it is, and they are convincing.

Dumbest thing I've done in a while was delete my FB account because I felt like the arguments here were compelling. Turns out that I had regular interactions with a number of people through FB that weren't really feasible any other way, and reconnecting is a hassle when you nuke your entire friend list. It may seem like these are low-value connections, and many people here will suggest that they are, but you should carefully consider for yourself whether you want to nuke that bridge.

Importantly -- it was not, and is not ruling my life, so deleting it caused no great epiphany or transformation in my life. At least, not a positive one. I visit FB once every day or other day for a few minutes, and I value the interactions. I blocked all the unpleasant stuff, and only use FB to connect with people I like. Be careful about deleting that.

Want to know the hard truth? If I really wanted to improve my life, productivity, etc, by removing any particular social media -- it would be Hacker News. This place is a very attractive time suck.

> Coinbase doesn't need to care about the value of crypto, it makes money on fees when people buy or sell against USD

Coinbase ran a gambling business like an exchange business. That's their mistake. The guys who knew they were running unregulated slot machines are doing fine.
All type systems will have meaningful and true propositions which are apparent to the programmer but not yet to the language team. Choosing a typed language is choosing to have a relationship with a living & evolving team/ecosystem, one which can improve over time in their ability to express and prove propositions or provide ergonomic abstractions.

Some of what the author is complaining about matches my conversations with people who aspire to be Rust library authors — that you're often trying to hijack the type system because you <do> actually know better.
Sounds like another crypto winter, which we've seen multiple times at this point.

You just installed it locally off a disc and it just worked when you needed it. You didn’t even need internet.
Almost all of my favorite follows on Twitter have moved into private group chats. What they post publicly is filtered and a mere glimpse of the group chats.
It's probably more common that they log it, and trawl it when there's some reason to. Still dystopian, but less work.

> Some companies don't do this sort of thing. That others do doesn't justify making this sort of choice with every company.

Replace companies with jobseekers.

Some jobseekers don't do this sort of thing. That others do doesn't justify making this sort of choice with every jobseeker.

I've talked to recruiters who have been rude to me for refusing to "give a number" as in my expected salary/wages. I also do not recommend accepting offers and then backing out. However, I submit that there is no company, even if you founded it yourself, that deserves your loyalty forever.
Part of my work mix is aerial photos/videos for tourism. I always liked the moment my then-7yo son said to me "Dad, is your job to make people want to go on holiday?" Yeah, basically.

The other part of my work mix is building websites, since the mid to late-90s. While the web is now common enough that my parents get it, I never found a good way to explain websites to young children.
It won't be a "gotcha" if you can provide a better example to support your argument that "reputations are easy to repair".

Just another observation about The Long Tail, the top 0.1% of the long tail can do well with 100 patrons. I bet that Damien Hirst has < 100 patrons that contribute >80% of his revenue.
Agreed, I just unfollowed absolutely everyone except very close people, and a group I'm involved in. This way my feed doesn't have much to scroll through, so it isn't addictive to look at.
This is apt timing. I wrote a thought recently of chunking loops and yielding after a certain number of chunks.

The Loom scheduler does NOT guarantee resource starvation avoidance for high CPU usage. You need to Thread.yield.

I also thought of creating a mapping from synchronous code and rewriting it to a tree of LMAX disruptors. I ported a wait-free ringbuffer from C++ to Java today - it was written by Alexander Krizhanovsky[1]

In LMAX disruptor you split each IO request in half - you have a disruptor that enqueuing events events to request the IO and to pass the event on to a callback you enqueue the response on a different disruptor.

If a synchronous request handler has 27 lines it represents a tree of 27 disruptor threads independently scaled.

We can pipeline the request with 27 threads all in an event loop that pipeline each task × core count and without blocking the servicing thread or other work. So event loops without blocking! So CPU heavy tasks do not block other heavy CPU tasks and do not block the servicing thread and are not blocked by IO.

That's an extremely strong statement that is obviously not true, except in the most weak and generic form.

How do you think reality works?
Outside of HN, I've dumped all the normal social media apps. I deleted facebook, twitter, instagram, multiple communication mediums. Now I'm on messenger for close contacts and discord for everything else, I barely check email at this point because it's also full of junk.
That's not even what this article is about though. Those people don't post anyway.
> For BTC, fundamentals are absolute scarcity combined with buy-in/popularity

This is literally the opposite of the meaning of fundamentals. Absolute scarcity is meaningless; in classical economics, everything is scarce. And popularity are animal spirits.

It makes sense for Rust. Rust with a significant runtime wouldn't provide much value over Go / Kotlin / Java / C#, whereas Rust without a heavy runtime is the first legitimate competitor to the dominance of C / C++.

Yes, I'm familiar with the flowchart and how the goal posts always move to "but I don't like that energy use anyway, so it doesn't matter how wrong I was earlier, surely something else must be able to use that energy". correct me if I'm wrong because its not intended to be a strawman.

But, bitcoin mining at flare gas sites disconnected from the grid is a significant source of the amount of energy being used bitcoin mining, and this use reduces pollution and emission over 60%, and it takes away from nothing else. And if there was any vigilance towards proof of work it should be to ensure more of this happens, and less of other sources. because obviously the flaring isn't going to stop, and the proof of work isn't going to stop, so lets focus on the parts you can influence.

The only way this sort of thing changes is with labor organization ie unionization.

The government won’t save you from efforts like this. The government represents the interests of the capital owning class.

The demonization of unions is one of the most successful cases of propaganda in the last century. It’s gone so far s people who will die on the hill of Jeff Bezos paying slightly more taxes because everyone seems to think they’ll be Jeff Bezos one day.
> . It may seem like these are low-value connections, and many people here will suggest that they are, but you should carefully consider for yourself whether you want to nuke that bridge.

I've had people here literally try to gaslight me about this as if they know more about my relationships than I do. They don't realize that certain apps are the entire internet for very large portions of entire countries... or that other methods would just have way too much friction to keep in contact with all the exchange students I know around the world... Explaining this, they then try to tell me my relationships just aren't that important to me or as deep as I think :)

>If you are a Dalit with 50% mark you will get admission to a medical seat and you will be a cardiac surgeon, but if a brahmin girl gets 99% she will not get admission and will be a clerk.

Is it possible for someone with a 50% GPA to finish a cardiac surgery training program in India? Or is that a gross exaggeration?
"as soon as the teacher started talking about the socioeconomic-status associated with eye color, students immediately divided themselves and started fighting over eye color"

It wasn't the teacher talking about socioeconomic-status associated with eye color, but explicitly telling the children that blue-eyed kids were better than brown-eyed kids.

So it wasn't just consciousness of differences, but explicitly telling some of the children they were better than others.

All that proves is that you can teach hatred.

But you can also teach peaceful coexistence, where people are aware of ethnic/cultural/biological differences without looking down on those who differ from you. You can be taught to value and celebrate your differences.

Same with people from other castes. There's no reason why one has to be looked at as inferior and the other as superior.

It really reminds me of a Star Trek episode where there's a war between two alien species which are identical except that one is black on the left side of their body and white on the right side of their body, and their enemy is white on the left side of their body and black on the right side of their body: [1] A ridiculous and meaningless distinction, and yet they kill each other over it.

It also reminds me of the religious wars among Christians over minutia like whether one should cross oneself from left to right or right to left. Sheer insanity.

Someday the historians will puzzle how so many people quit their jobs hit at the heels of the great 2023 Depression. How could they have missed the signs?
Funnily enough, this whole discussion thread is about whether it is unethical or not to "just leave" and "don't come back."

Buying a car is probably one of the worst buying experience anyone has to deal with. Most of the time you deal with the hard sell and you always feel like you got ripped off.

Buying online is great but I think people still need a way to experience the car before it's bought. They should turn the dealers into showrooms.

GM tried to do something similar with the saturn but ultimately it failed. I suspect it had something to do with the blandness of the car. They seemed like the car your teacher or grandfather would buy. It was safe and cost effective.

If ford wants to get a foot hold they should start with the high end sports cars and slowly introduce cars for the everyone. It would take a long time to change the culture but at least things would change.
I believe the direct lending program consists mostly of the Fed buying corporate bonds, which is loaning money to private corporations. There is also a component where they can loan to small businesses (notably a business with 200 employees is generally considered "small".

These programs are not handouts, they are loans. The Fed did this in 2008 when they bought bonds and even stock in some big companies.

Overall, the Fed made a big profit on all of that when the bonds were paid back with interest and the stock was sold back in tranches over time as the market recovered.

Indeed. I switched jobs recently and wanted to provide notice but had to do so without a signed offer. I was thankfully confident enough that I'd be OK even if things fell through to go ahead with it, but in different circumstances I might not have been able to do it.
Hydrogen fuel cells were developed in the 1830s (concept developed in 1801), commercialized in the 1930s, and the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles were developed in the 1950s. Was used in NASA’s Gemini program. Rechargeable Lithium ion is relatively new, having started development only in the 1960s and in modern form not until the 1980s, being used for practical applications only starting in the 1990s.
Yeah if you want to defraud people, sure. No auditing required. Who's being dishonest here and making false statements? (Can you see the irony???)

It is possible to see unions as both the source of some and solution to other forms of abuse.

Actually that table syntax partitions by month, which is a little non-intuitve. In modern ClickHouse SQL it would look like the following.

CREATE TABLE tsbs_modern (
created_date Date DEFAULT today(),
created_at DateTime DEFAULT now(),
time String,
tags_id UInt32,
additional_tags String DEFAULT ''
) ENGINE = MergeTree
PARTITION BY toYYYYMM(created_date)
ORDER BY (tags_id, created_at)
At least Java and C# have a problem of being 32-bit. Most of the standard collections and interfaces use i32 for sizes, offsets, etc. So large parts of the existing codebases can't be directly reused to manipulate data in sizes, that are not so "big" anymore.

I'd like to see how those platforms will be able to get past that legacy.

> can't even begin to write an assembler

An assembler is a 1-1 mapping. If you can read some text, and you can write some bytes, then you can write an assembler. Everything in between is just a case of reading the manual! It's just some ifs - if the user's written this instruction name, then emit these bytes.

I work on compilers and I'm awe of people who work on web apps because they genuinely seem far more complicated than what I do.

>> Educating people like me about that would suddenly create the ability for them to identify a difference that they wouldn't have noticed before.

This seemingly small insight goes miles toward explaining the current American obsession with racial and gender identity. Gender/racial/age discrimination are not surface-level obvious in America these days, which is why once people are told they're being victimized and discriminated against for X reason, everything starts to look to them like a microaggression against their identity group. They're essentially told you have no choice, you are this. This in turn creates an artificial political base where you're supposed to put your X identity ahead of all other considerations and fight for X people, and since X people only vote for Party A or Party B, you're supposed to vote that way.

I can tell you why it's utter nonsense. Because these groupings are engineered, as you said, to make people identify a difference that they wouldn't have noticed before. The same people who claim racial identity is so central to one's "lived experience" and such a huge basis for discrimination are quick to tell me "well, you can choose not to be Jewish if you want."

Caste is like a whole new frontier. Surely, they'll say, you've been subjected to terrible treatment and it's changed you... you just don't realize how unfair it's been, but we can show you!

It is of course possible that other Indian-Americans can identify your caste, and have discriminated against you, without you realizing it. But if that's the case, you're lucky not to know, because the worst thing you can do is let a sense of victimization become a central part of your identity.
Because alcohol has been around for thousands of years, theater for thousands of years, video games for half a century and super addictive social media for less than 20.

Any time a big change happens to people's daily experience I think it's reasonable and good to have a lot of reflection on if that change is good or bad and what should be done.

Definitely switch to zsh for interactive use, the differences are minimal enough it will not take any effort to switch. Even forgetting everything else just the superior tab complete is enough to make it worthwhile. Still use bash for scripts they will be more portable.
I'm not sure how that's relevant though when just trying to compare travelling by rail in NY State to Germany; is the claimed problem with Amtrak that they have to cover more states than the German train system, and train system management doesn't scale directly causing rail to be worse in NY State than in Germany?

You’re not, though. You’re accepting to the company. The hiring manager may well quit or you may be reorg’ed at a moment’s notice to a new manager. I’ve been a hiring manager and I would be bummed if someone accepted and then took another offer, but this is their livelihood and their life we’re talking about. You do not owe nor are you owed fealty to the hiring manager or a company that may very well kick you to the curb at any time.
"Educating people like me about that would suddenly create the ability for them to identify a difference that they wouldn't have noticed before.

Rescinding job offers is about the worst move a company can make for their talent reputation. A major bank I worked with rescinded job offers to college graduates during one recession and it took us a decade to remake our reputation. From that point on we would sooner let current employees go to make room for offered jobs (realistically layoffs were already happen if things got that bad). That the tech industry seems to be thinking this is an acceptable way to treat people, but the organizations that follow this trend will be realized for the meat grinder culture they must be. No one that respects their talent treats people who have quit jobs and turned down other offers to work for them in this way.
