SSG (hugo) + git -> own site (hosted at nearlyfreespeech.net)

I used to do very ~project-oriented blog stuff at tumblr, but I wanted to be able to consolidate things down to one site where I could have a ~main stream with all posts, while still being able to add new streams for big themes/topics/projects. (This works, though IIRC I haven't sorted out separate RSS feeds for each stream yet.)
Similar to individual units of stock prices being meaningless on their own.

TCO and ROI are far more important.

For example, inkjet printers are insanely expensive per use.

Generally, the larger and more expensive the laser printer, the cheaper it is per page.
I get the sentiment here. But I can understand why someone would want to optimize towards writing more code than dealing with organizational politics. I guess the tradeoff would be to go to a smaller company.

> The point is that all people see are my successes. They see this book in its finished form, but are shielded away from the tortuous months I spent writing it. They aren’t aware of just how many hours I spent fighting with LaTeX. Or of cajoling my designer-then-girlfriend to help me pick fonts. Or from the countless sleepless nights I spent spinning the ideas around in my head, trying as best I could to find something, anything, to grab on to.

Excellent point. I've found this to be true in my life as well.

Um, well, a lot will be different, but nothing with regards to gas prices or inflation. And this is coming from somebody with a passionate bordering on maniacal hate for democrats.
I'm guessing you're referring to machinist tools like milling machines and lathes? Machinist tools are quite expensive, but other types of metalworking (welding, brazing, blacksmithing) can be done with much more modest budgets.
Attracting sympathy is the wrong word. Understanding is a better word. Understanding the psychology of why sterilization and genocide takes place.

To you it seems horrid. But to a chinese person the perspective is completely opposite. Why? This failure to understand leads to brain dead responses.

I use the war in afghanstan and 9/11 for comparison because Americans actively promoted and encouraged mass slaughter during that time by sending soldiers to another country. What causes Americans to embrace actual slaughter? What is the psychology behind it? It is the same psychology that pushes the chinese to do the "re-educate" the uhgyrs. The difference is, no actual "slaughter" is happening on the Chinese side.

I don't support the chinese response. But when I see people comparing the chinese students attitude to "white supremacy" and not even have a shred of understanding of why the uyghur were booed it shows how stupid a lot of people are.

Chinese people were slaughtered in a terrorist attack. People were killed. That's why the uyghur got booed. The situation isn't so black and white. The university has the right attitude. The OP to my original response has a narrow attitude, an uncompromising view that shows lack of knowledge.
Throwing this in my mailcap produces better text from HTML emails than most of the plain text sections included along with HTML emails:

w3m does a really great job with the alignment of things like tables.

Ignore these general swipe remarks. They are done by people who don’t have the passion and ability to ship something like you do!

Since their largest workforce is in Washington state, it's probably just less risky to make this their overall US policy. Making a different policy for HQ vs everywhere else could easily lead to mistakes and accidentally breaking the law.

> New CRISPR-based map(ping process) ties every human gene to its function

Maybe it's because I'm not in that industry, but I was looking for a graphical gizmo that I could click on a gene and see functions but they mean "map" in its functional programming term

Although clicking through the first link does say "Interactive Website under construction..." so maybe this was just submitted too early or something
Definitely. The bonus is that they wouldn't have to be on the train. And the tube electric system is DC already as well. This sounds like an engineering problem that is largely already solved.
100% agree. Maybe I'm missing something but where's the synergy between search and email + storage unless you're harvesting data?
Seems like you didn't properly escape some of your asterisks.
Absolutely, the average user won't be looking at the contracts (and yes there will be exploits). All software is buggy, the open-ness just gives malicious users a path to find exploits (and also bug bounty hunters incentive to responsibly disclose). With traditional software, the attackers are often large actors and we may never hear about all the exploits.

But think about where faith is being placed in traditional software vs. decentralized software: with traditional software, you rely on a whistleblower inside the company, or a government agency to expose corruption, malpractice, maliciousness, noncompliance, or incompetence.

In a dapp, there are also knowledgeable watchdogs who are incentivized to expose scams/fraud, or report bugs (I'd wager there are more responsible disclosures in crypto than exploits by bad actors).

Knowledgable researchers keep casual users informed of developments, and give layperson explanations of how dapp works (and Cunningham's law dictates that they're likely to be called out if their explanation is incorrect).

Either way, people are placing their trust somewhere. Traditional applications basically rely a lot on "security by obscurity" which doesn't make them truly secure. And many users enjoy truly transparent applications.

The biggest problem with crypto for the average person is that it's incredibly hard to assess risk in order to develop risk-appropriate strategies and expectations for interacting with crypto. And it can also be hard to get a straight answer when discussing risks (good signals are surrounded by lots of noise). That's why I think that rather than writing off the industry as a whole, those of us who have more insight into the technology (and the risks) should be advising less technical participants to be incredibly cautious, not to approach crypto outside of the top two as an investment without incredible diligence etc. (though, like the author, I'm very much opposed to bitcoin due to proof of work)
That's very common in anything that has a range. The pay bands will shift to compensate for it.
Well I'm not handwaving danger. I'm saying we should compare it to other kinds of power plant before we call it "insufficient". Maybe I define insufficient differently than you.

> It is very hard to do tracebacks of cancer to nuclear events.

Tracebacks are hard but we can do estimates. When I look those up I see numbers like "130".
> I live in Europe.

So what's the scare? You live in a working grid already. It's the most stable one on this planet already and it's improving constantly. Those improvements are also cheaper than nuclear reactors and make the grid more flexible than a constantly running nuclear reactor. What's your argument?

> The storage capacity of electricity in the alps is tiny compared to total electricity consumption.

That's why we don't rely just on it. Just like we don't rely only on PV or only on wind. That's the great thing about it.

> Nordlink has is getting seriously unpopular in Norway

Do you know what's really unpopular in Norway? Nuclear energy. Just as in Germany.

I also don't know how this is supposed to be a valid argument now.

> Wind and solar is still a tiny percentage (around 10%) of total energy consumption in Europe.

Just because certain parts of Europe are ignorant to new technology doesn't mean that it's not working. It's working in Germany pretty well and has been for years while France is embarrassing themselves with their rotting nuclear one-way.

I use notmuch on Emacs (yes, found it after seeing sup).

For those who don't want to use Emacs, notmuch has other clients: https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/

alot was one of the early ones and last I checked (years ago) was quite featureful.

For people who want something other than mutt, I strongly recommend something based on notmuch. It also comes with Python bindings so it's easy to write complex rules to filter incoming email.

There is some good efficiency to be gained on clothes dryers.

US clothes dryers account for 60 billion kWh / year and by and large rely on direct heating elements. Switching to a heat pump design could apparently cut that in half: https://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/pt_awards/SEDI_Fact_S...

It's the old saying about no silver bullets. There's a lot of small but meaningful low hanging fruit we could take advantage of that begins to add up in a big way.
Thanks for the quick answers.

Third Q-- What's your opinion on BTI as a possible mitigation? Given it's an v8.5 feature meant for JOPs, and this attack is essentially a speculative JOP, maybe we could use BTI to mitigate and heavily reduce the number of gadgets, speculative or not.
> Rather than assuming he’d solved the problem because he was smart and I wasn’t, I took the position that he had some skill that I was missing. Skills, after all, can be learned.

Excellent. Our field (along with others) is filled with people walking around with imposter syndrome (myself included). One way (not the only way, there are many) to overcome it is to 1) assess your skills 2) leverage your strengths 3) cultivate your weaknesses.

Skills. Build them

Agreed. I believe that used quality tools can often be found for a reasonable price. This is especially true if you don't mind doing some cleanup/repair on them.
I’m developing https://simplePDF.eu on my free time.

It’s more of a PDF editor / annotator than viewer but it may suit your needs nonetheless:

You can open multiple multiple tabs in your browser to view the same PDF at different chapters for example

Some additional details:

- entirely free

- everything happens locally in your browser: the documents you load are never sent to the server
YouTube themselves haven't done this, but a lot of content creators have started integrating their own ads and sponsorship deals into their content.

This is often done in fun ways where the ad is integrated into the content of the video, so it doesn't annoy me too much and can actually be a fun break from the content of the video.

But for the videos where it _does_ annoy me, I use SponsorBlock [0].
It's an browser extension that lets its users mark certain sections of a video as "ad", "sponsor deal", "self-promotion", etc. to effectively build a crowd-sourced database of ad sections in YouTube videos.

The database is shared and used by the extension to skip the marked sections on most videos I've encountered.

Self-hosted OpenBSD VM on vultr.com.

I wrote my own static site generator[0] to suit my needs. It’s not especially fancy - just a series of JSON config files and then a notion of “posts” and “pages” that are in Markdown format.

The code gets pushed to sourcehut and uses a build stage to deploy the site.

None of this is especially novel - I wrote the static site generator mostly because I was frustrated with how complex some of the more flexible existing tooling is. Nothing wrong with those tools, just more complicated than I need.

First, that's not a citation. Where's the data that shows controversy reduces engagement?

Second, that's not at all what happens on Facebook though. On Facebook every other story is about how people outside of your tribe are child-eating assholes.

This very discussion is a counterfactual to your claim. Someone posts a topic that is somewhat controversial, and we're all arguing about it in the comments. That's engagement. That's what most social media optimizes for, and it's why most social media is cesspit.
Sometimes, it turns out the wind carries your voice farther than you thought. I submitted my blog to Hacker News a few years ago to see if I could get some sweet, sweet SEO juice for my name as I ramped up a job search. It managed to get to the top 5, which was enough to set the SEO flywheel spinning for quite some time. Months later, someone randomly submitted another of my prolix posts to HN--a mind-blowing moment. Is it one of you, dear RSS subscribers? How do you find me?

The paper is very dated. You have to put on the lens that at that time, the networks we are talking about are AlexNet (the author) and VGGNet. For these, FCN layers has much more parameters than CNN layers, and all-reduce for gradients on these FCN layers are not economical (BTW, that's why Transformers do mixed model / data parallelism as well, or do large batches, they have a lot parameters and want to do these all-reduce as late as possible (or avoid at all, with model parallelism)).

Otherwise the peer comment answered your question really well!
If your internet connection is fast enough to use Stadia, downloading a 30gb game probably isn't a big deal.

Out of curiosity, I opened up Steam and downloaded the game to see how long it would take. I started the download at 12:36PM and it completed at 12:43PM, so it took ~7 minutes, with Steam reporting peak speeds of 83.2MB/s download (fast.com reported 960mbps before I started the download). I think the download might have even been limited by my hard drive since my Steam library is on a regular old HDD rather than an SSD.
I've been using https://github.com/terser/html-minifier-terser to get this kind of HTML for my personal site for a while. It passes W3C so I'm happy.

Great! Will check out more. Admittedly, recommendation system is one that I have less knowledge about.
It also makes sense when you realize more and more jobs are "Location, or remote" and "or remote" would cover Washington and Colorado.
it doesn't work for even slightly complex documents either. there's been a little meme-fad lately around minimalistic html like this, but to claim it's the "right" way to write html is pompous at best.

not closing tags for instance is really asking for future headaches. sure, it works for a simple text list, but not when it gets even a little complicated (add links, images, buttons, etc.). even worse are p tags, where you have to memorize a whole matrix of what it can contain and what breaks out implicitly. with every insertion/deletion, you need to check the list. it's needless mental drag.

I think they are referring to custom values. As a part of the move to the JIT compiler, it's possible to define arbitrary classes and have Tailwind pick up on it and create a class.

Consider this. `text-red-500` is an out of the box class from TW that gives you a solid red text color. With the new JIT compiler, I can write `text-[#BADA55]` and the compiler is smart enough to generate a class with that hex code as the value for the color. You can use this syntax for almost any available class.

This feature is useful for some cases (marketing sites with finicky pixel perfect requirements) but it can also be abused. It's up to your team to decide where it makes sense to break out of the design system, or if you should add that new value as a token to be reused throughout the app.
You can't rewind your mind back to the time when 9/11 happened yesterday? I can. I was there.

Americans stopped because the event became more and more distant and forgotten.

Your attitude and your parents attitude and EVERYONES attitude at that time was one of mourning and burning desire for military action. The sentiment was universal and it will become universal again should another terrorist attack occur on american soil.

The chinese sentiment is the same, it makes sense given WHEN the attacks occured. It is fresh. If you can't understand why the uyghur was booed and instead choose to compare them to white supremacists then you're a person who's not very knowledgeable and lacks perspective. The universities attitude towards this situation is correct, it is complex and it is not fully evident how to proceed.

THe chinese booed the uhyger because in a sense from their perspective the uhyger is promoting slaughter and terrorism. From the uhygers perspective they are promoting cultural freedom and autonomy and protesting detainment.

The american perspective is one of rivalry against China. China is quickly coming into power so they are a rival. It is easier to pick a one sided, stupid and bigotted viewpoint that justifies the rivalry then it is to pick the complex viewpoint where justification of the rivalry is no longer clear.

I can easily say your post promotes terrorism and domestic acts of killing and terrorist attacks. It's the same as what a lot of people are doing to me. They're saying shit like "You're basically saying mass sterilization is ok" and putting words into my mouth trying to classify which "team" I'm on. But if I did the same as them and called you a terrorist promoter that would be naive and one sided and simple minded.

My post simply advocates that people stop doing that. View the story for what it truly is, a highly highly complex story of opposing intentions where the morality is not so clear.

Ask HN: What Are Your Problems?
I love building things in my free time. But usually I build something technical or out of curiosity about a new tech/framework/language etc. Not exactly a targeted solution to a real problem (You can see my projects here: https://github.com/spy16).

For a change, I am looking to find problems that others are facing (that also interest me) and build something that solves those problems. Anything that can help fellow developers, product-managers, etc. in their day-to-day work life (I am also hoping, this thread itself can be a useful collection for others like me who are looking for ideas for their next project).

I like Hugo - S3 - Cloudflare.

It's simple, fast, and I can move it easily if I want to.
The side effects of this move are probably bigger than the move itself. Hopefully this induces other companies to advertise their salary ranges as candidates (it's still a candidate's market out there) use Microsoft's ranges as reference for negotiating salaries on other non-MS jobs.

Essentially this will push salaries up to match the massive inflation we've seen recently. Likely this will result in a homeostasis at some future point.
