> but that cleanness is artificial and gets in the way when trying to parse and use the software.

I really don't agree. When software/UIs were simpler, the buttons screaming loudly "I AM A BUTTON!" worked. Now it quickly gets way too busy. It was important when almost everybody was a computer novice and couldn't detect subtle hints and conventions about what is a button and what isn't. Now? Not as much.

Look at screenshots of older iTunes vs Apple Music. I can feel absolutely no difference in how fast my eyes finds play/pause buttons. I don't need borders around the icons when there's not a whole bunch of skeuomorphic noise around them, such that there being any visual complexity at all (icon itself) instantly grabs attention. I really can't see a single thing I think the old iTunes interface does better for common use cases. Not that the old iTunes was bad per se, just a different UI for a different time.

I agree that often UI designers go too far, but I think you can see a bit of back and forth going on, trying to tune into the perfect balance of simplicity and clear signaling.

Obviously, everyone is different. So it's not going to be perfect for everybody no matter which way they do it.
Hybrid does not imply a small engine. For example, 2023 Toyota Sequoia has an option of a hybrid V6.
> People always believed in crazy anti-Jewish propaganda since, at least, the first crusade.

Absolutely they did. However, even at that time, it seems (if wikipedia is to be trusted) that the Jew's roles as bankers was part of the reason for the massacres:

"Many crusaders had to go into debt in order to purchase weaponry and equipment for the expedition; as Western Catholicism strictly forbade usury, many crusaders inevitably found themselves indebted to Jewish moneylenders. Having armed themselves by assuming the debt, the crusaders rationalized the killing of Jews as an extension of their Catholic mission"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhineland_massacres

You are absolutely right that antisemmitism didn't suddenly pop up in 1922, or even with the creation of the "Protocols" conspiracy. But prior to 1922, antisemitism probably wasn't worse in Germany than most other western countries.

But as we consider the inflation we are seeing today, try to imagine how it would be if the inflation is not 5-10% but 29500%, as it was at the peak in 1923. In other words, it would take 3.7 days for your paycheck to go to half value. When you got your salary, you had to run to the bakery and buy as much bread as you could. Old poeple and people on a fixed salary would lose everything in an instant.

Even in the present age, especially after 2008, conspiracy theories involving the banking sector is everywhere, and there are still whispers implicating a Jewish conspiracy, if you listen. Now imagine standing at a corner in Munich on a day where the factory didn't need your work, too afraid to go home to your abusive wife who would beat and scorn you for not bringing food to the hungry family.

Imagine some small man with a mustache telling a very convincing story that comletely rationalizes your troubles. He reminds you about the Goldmann banker up the street, and the Ruben gem store at the corner. Their families are not hungry, yet they didnt "work" (meaning physically) a single day of their lives, they are simply collecting usury. Imagine being told this, while hungry, while worried about being beaten by your wife when you come home, in a world where anti-semmitism is still seen as acceptable, in a world where usury is still seen as a sin, in a country where the interest rates on loans have 5 digits.

What I'm saying is that those germans were just like us, just under different circumstances. To them, the jews were the socially accepted "bad guys", just as nazis and facists, and where people can label people as nazi or facist with not much more evidence than not liking that person.

The person that would say today, that "It's ok to punch a nazi." (meaning MAGA-republican), might very will be the person in 1923 thinking that "It's ok to punch a jew.". The reasoning is very similar. And it's not restricted to the left. People on the right are currently generating massive amounts of resentment against "the elites". And in some cases, the anti-semmitism is once again coming out into the open.
I guess the word "anthropomorphise" here is conflating many understanding of "human" and humanity. In the same way, is a bunch of cells, an embryon or just a tissue sample, a human? Is an organ a human? Is a developing fetus a human? How many properties do each share with a typical example of a human?
There's a spectrum of biological complexity and other attributes we associate with the idea of "human". The question then is where does a baby fit on that spectrum.

The general idea of anthropomorphising, here, is to attribute characteristics and experience that we only know from our own experience as conscious, self-aware creatures capable of complex cognition and complex communication of that experience.
Go back and read the HN thread from the Coinbase DPO [1]. Their valuation was insane then, before the war in Ukraine, inflation, or Omicron. The top comments on that thread shock me. Even at that time I expected every other comment to be about how overvalued they were, but it just wasn't the case.

Wonder if people could've been made to see this then. I went full on Chicken Little [2] and mostly just got treated like I was yelling at children to get off my lawn.

Yes, yield farming is a ponzi (though technically it's the greater fool theory). SBF's company (FTX) is certainly not a ponzi.
This isn’t discussed very often, but if you have an old model, like we do, the Charging a Tesla takes forever. Out 225 mile range battery takes 1.5-2 hours to get to full charge.

Some would say that’s not necessary, but there are certain stretches of the road where we came down to Zero miles, after having full 100% charge.

It doesn’t feel great to almost run out of power at midnight with two young kids, in the middle of nowhere.

That's true, but upset developers are up on the list of "how can I word this to be the most passive / aggressive as humanly possible".

To be fair I think customer support in general is a hostile environment for the receiver. Everyone coming at you is usually dealing with an unexpected issue in some way that's preventing them from being able to do what they wanted to do. There's been a huge range of things I've seen. Everything from super nice folks including huge amounts of details and are calm to nothing more than "it's not working" and in 1 case a death threat because Docker wouldn't run on his Windows box. I don't think it was a serious threat (I'm still alive), but he wasn't trying to be funny. He was really upset.

I don't let those things phase me. I help everyone equally regardless of how they treat me. From doing this for 5+ years I've learned that people act way differently initially when unexpected things happen but more often than not they calm down and apologize afterwards.
>MLS is going to blow up in the coming years.

MLS is a distant 4th or 5th sport in the North America and I don't see that ever changing. European soccer (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A) will always be the pinnacle of soccer in the world. People want to watch the best teams and best players and MLS doesn't compare to the caliber of European soccer and never will.
The photographs on this article are insane! Thank you for sharing.
The Spanish threat was real last time. This situation is now completely different and would not set a precedent for Catalonia (unless Spain decides to leave the EU!!!)

Yes the border would be a real problem, in the long term mostly for England.
My personal view is that this worldview, the one that that views my inability to "function" in school, work, etc. as attributable to a clinical disorder treatable by medication, was incorrect.

ADHD is defined as a disorder of executive function: that is, an individual with ADHD is unable to do what they wish to do. This was an accurate description of me; to this day, finding and working toward my goals is something I'm constantly working on.

But if I look back on my childhood, I see that there was never a time when I had space to figure out how to understand and execute my own wishes in the world. Indeed, within my own family it was not recognized that I had a will of my own at all.

Medication helped cope with this state of affairs, but it never helped repair it. So e.g. if I found I didn’t much like being a student, I could take a stimulant and improve my ability to perform as a student. But taking that medication did nothing to help me solve that key equation: to do something I want to do, that other people also want me to do for them.

So my answer to the problem posed by an ADHD diagnosis is growth: I had to start as an autodidact, but as I’ve grown into my adulthood I’ve found friends, mentors, and peers along the way who help me find my way. The world is making it harder and harder to get, but it’s out there.

Christ on a skateboard!? All the temporarily displaced billionaires in this thread are something else.

If you require more than 100M in net worth to be "motivated" to work. There's a larger problem with you. Being a CEO/leader doesn't require some skill set that's given to you from some mythical watery being just because you're special.
The world would be a better place with fewer monolithic walled gardens. It would encourage CEOs to build $999M businesses that interoperate with other businesses on the free market rather than acting like a cartel controlled within a single organization.

When you see a result like that it’s a good idea to check your assumptions.

That calculation assumes these probabilities are independent when they aren’t. What was ordered, when it was ordered, and where it’s being shipped to are all likely to impact the odds. On top of that are ability to detect fakes and defective items are likely to be different.

Having said that, I have been hit by lighting. Or at least it stuck the car I was in and I felt some effects. I didn’t report it anywhere that records such strikes, which suggests non serious lightning strikes may be underestimated in those statistics.
If you find a treasure trove worth billions of dollars, it is probably also of such archeological, historical, and cultural significance you are doing an immense service to humanity that you deserve it
The first issue I tackled at one of the jobs I had was slow JSP page performance.

The code had some sizable chunks of JavaScript in Strings and looked at each authorization the user had. Its been awhile, but in dynamically generating that JavaScript (ICK!) it generated several megabytes of garbage Strings by doing `script = script + "little bit more";` way too many times. This was done for each page load. 8am and hundreds of people click the page to get their start of day stuff... and... server has problems.

That particular issue was fixed by changing it all to a StringBuilder.

I've yet to see any sloppy garbage creating that is on the same order of magnitude as that JSP was.

Wouldn't a very accessible explanation for that correlation be that aspie-leaning men might tend to have children later in life?

What dou you mean by better than C? A different paradigm or a better implementation? In which regard?

Lisp/scheme are different paradigms, but are they even “abstractions over assembly”? D is closer to C, but does it really abstract from assembly in a better way, or in just the same? FASM is heavy macroed self-building assembler, but is it an abstraction or just a codegen toolkit? The question seems like too broad.
A great quote sticks in my mind, shared with me by a founder who was going through hard times with his startup. The company was going through a bad spot, and one of his investors suggested just giving up and returning the existing capital to the investors. An advisor then said:

"It's not their money anymore. Don't you dare give up."

He didn't, he persevered, and the company had a fine outcome years later. I would not blindly follow OP's advice.
Are they the exception or the rule there?

I have never actually worked in industry -- I dropped out of a PhD, then worked at an NGO, lived in my parents for a bit, then flamed out of a crappy managed service provider -- I tend to be out of order.

EPA: https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality

> Cleaning supplies, paints, insecticides, and other commonly used products introduce many different chemicals, including volatile organic compounds, directly into the indoor air.

> Health effects associated with indoor air pollutants include:

> Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.

> Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.

> Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.

=====

WHO: https://www.euro.who.int/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/156970/...

> Many air pollutants in the indoor environment are present in
mixtures at low concentrations of each of the compounds, thus
providing simultaneous multiple exposure. This is typically the
case with volatile organic compounds (VOC). Indoor air sam-
ples may typically contain 50 VOC each in concentrations of
1-100 mg/m’>.

> Few of these VOC are covered by air quality guidelines. Fur-
ther, such guidelines mostly refer to the health effects associated
with cach individual compound. No general procedure exists for
setting such guidelines for the indoor environment. Also, no pro-
vision is made for assessing combined exposure to mixtures of
VOC and for predicting the health and comlort effects originat-
ing from such simultancous multiple exposures.

> Given the increasing concern for the quality of indoor envi-
ronments, which is triggered in part by the large number of build-
ings in which occupants report health and comfort problems,
adequate methods are needed to assess the effects on health and
comfort of exposure to multiple air pollutants. Three types of
procedure can be envisaged for such assessment.

> One approach is the use of sensory effects, such as odour and
sensory irritation, as substitutes for possible health and comfort
effects. A second approach could be to add together the risks of
causing health and comlort eflects for each individual compound
(as for the occupational environment). These approaches have
not yet been developed to a level that can be recommended for
general use in indoor environments.
Yes it is very rare. In most cases it is probably due to general economic decline of the area, but every once in a while they were just wrong about the potential of the location.

The fact that the game is local, makes it more interesting to me to watch on TV. I'm not a big sports fan, I am highly unlikely to ever go to a game... but they might get my viewership on a live stream, just to see what's going on near by, or to have a get together at my house and have a game on.

But my experience pretty much mirrors yours. Any time I might be interested in seeing a game, it's been blacked out on TV. So I never bothered to watch anything else. Why would I give a shit about a team not even near me if I'm not a huge fan to begin with?
Well they're hosting it directly, but there's a ton of paid services that let you do this.

Would you apply that same form of argument to everything else that is illegal or strongly disincentivized? “We shouldn’t ban/disincentivize x because people will just go do x in some other country” doesn’t seem like an argument I would make for a large range of x’s.

Same. Our compute hosts are generally not using 100% of their cores at all time.

There’s computes that are not full, computes that run rather diverse tenants, and even the fully utilized computes responsible for CPU optimized VMs have enough variance in their workload for frequency scaling to occur.

How about you... list some of these apps? I've been using macOS since Snow Leopard and all my muscle memory on the keyboard still works.

USDC.

They see something really bad on their books that's separate from their core business. Just like how Lehman Brothers was a profitable bank that got shredded by one risky trading strategy.

These stablecoins have been devoured one by one, and each time they fall more people start trying to get their money out. USDC will experience a run and it might not be survivable without liquidating user account holdings, which will be a massive extinction event for retail crypto.
I don't blame the researchers, this is specifically against the nonsense discussions that plague this thread and others like it talking about the performance impact on personal computers. These side-channel bugs are minor annoyances, and mostly a problem for cloud providers.

I wouldn't want Intel or AMD or anyone else to abandon speculative execution, clock boosting, or any other of the "vulnerable" technologies just because their unsafe in specific application spaces, which seems to be what half of HN starts advocating for whenever this stuff comes up.

An application bug like OpenSSH is a completely separate spiritually from the hardware bugs that inspire these mitigation discussions.
Saying it's pure propaganda is obviously false and you are right to counter that.

They aren't a neutral observer who is simply interested in facts and truth. They have an agenda and are not transparent about it.
Blitz-scaling is still the primary mindset at a lot of startups (at least where I've worked or the companies I've come into contact with). They may use some other term but the "grab market share as fast as possible and worry about profitability later" is the general strategy.

I think this leads to a lot of companies making bad calls like over hiring or building awkward products. I'm not saying blitz-scaling can't be a strategy, I just think it's treated as the only strategy that matters and people end up in hammer/nail situations.

Of course not, but we tend to be judged by our words and actions, not our intentions. Understand that people may experience the world very differently from you. They will instinctively pattern match the negative value judgement I pointed out; and to them it seems “obvious” that one should reword the statement. So obvious for them, that they can’t understand how someone with a different experience of the world might not recognize it.

At this point I think people would be well advised to consider their social media profile to be like a resume or personal brand advertisement. Anything but an authentic record of their private lives or thoughts.
