This largely tracks with my own opinions on certain things. Mostly why moderation eventually fails and how social interaction doesn't scale well.

People doing shit don't have time for bullshit.

If you have hours to dedicate defending your pet fan theory online, you clearly aren't using those hours to do anything meaningful. And I'm not talking side-hustle-gotta-make-that-bread kind of stuff, I'm talking about just more fulfilling pursuits in general. Learning an instrument, tinkering with projects with no other goal but messing around, reading, etc.

So while you think you may have "won" the argument about whether or not Superman can beat Wolverine, the truth is the other person left because you and the discussion in general wasn't worth their time. And they don't need your validation. They find fulfillment in the stuff they do outside of the internet.

Your comment insulting 330 million people in the USA is unwelcome on HN.
There’s surely still some selection effects, eg younger (average iq scores have gone up over time), college-educated, more literate (ok this one is questionable for Reddit), and so on.
On the surface it appears you are doing too much. Nothing is going to help if you are trying to do too many things.

Do you actually need the masters degree? What's it in? What will it give you career wise?
Could be "add source /blah blah" to your bashrc, and this adds some shell functions (which allow it to do stuff like cd).
I wouldn't call the 6502 a RISC CPU.. It was clearly designed for humans to program, it has multiple and complex addressing modes and instructions to make it easier for us..

Sure it is a small instruction set compared to modern CPUs, but RISC is an idea, not a number.

I'd venture to say that RISC is designing with the goal of making very efficient instructions and allow very efficient compilers to be written for it.. It's the idea to have one faster way of doing something rather than multiple convenient ways, because the compiler don't care, and compiler vendors appreciate not having to chose between multiple almost similar instructions that may or may not be faster in some particular case if they don't have to.
We're planning on having official ARM binaries in the fall, so I expect ARM benchmarks will return in next year's report

This was sarcasm since it is actually rocket science.
Yeah, I've been doing exactly what you describe and it gets the job done. I just daydream of being able to press a button and all my peripherals are switched without significant lag.

Changing the input on my monitor requires three button presses, and comes with a noticeable lag. Then I've got to press a button on the bottom of my mouse, and another button for my keyboard. If I bought a fancy KVM, I'd be able to swap everything in a couple seconds! It'd be nice also to hook up a mic and webcam but I'll probably just think about it for another 6 months and never pull the trigger.
ReadySet PM here - depends on if there are writes to the table or not!

> France just narrowly avoided voting in the daughter of a noted neo-nazi

She's drastically less neo-Nazi than her father, just an empty far-right populist. But yeah, not great.

> It's also got a hijab ban, which puts it in the company of places like Russia, or Xinjiang in China, not noted bastions of tolerance and diversity

It's more complicated than that. The hijab ban isn't coming from intolerance or to force conformity. France has a long and proud history of laïcité, separation of church and state and irreligiousness in public life ( you don't get politicians doing photo ops with bibles or praising Jesus, thank god). Outright religious symbols, especially ones that are a symbol of religious subjugation for many ( many women, especially the young ones, are pressured/forced by family/husbands to be "modest"; plenty of others do it for themselves) have no place in irreligious public places. Religion is a private matter you practice however you please as long as you harm noone. And the ban isn't for hijabs, it's for face coverings, so a Catholic nun is also included; and it only covers public places like post office, town hall, schools ( not sure about that one).

But the gist of it is - religion has no place in public life, especially its (often) intolerant parts.
Only if you take bad notes...

As with most things, if you think that something that lots of other people are doing is a waste of time, the problem is probably with how you're doing it and not with the activity itself.

(Note that the author recognizes he was taking notes the wrong way for his needs, and adopted a new way of taking meeting notes.)

Ask HN: Do you share your leetcode profile link anywhere?
As a job seeker, I recently started doing leetcode.com in earnest. I set a goal for myself to perform 100 leetcodes. I'm up to 97 so far in just under a month. Once I hit my goal, should I share the URL of my profile on LinkedIn, and/or share it with potential employers? Just wondering in case there is any expected "etiquette" around this. Thanks in advance!
Both.

Positive upbringings helped those folks navigate everything in life better from simple chores like laundry, to relationships, to school, to careers... etc.

People are more healthy when they're in an environment that promotes emotional/educational growth vs. when they're forced into a survival mentality. Those who had the opportunity to grow in safety have an easier time socially vs. those who had to navigate turbulent childhoods.

Much of it is just trust

Getting Ecstasy to market involves fewer regulatory hurdles than even drugs for animals. It just so happens to be illegal in most countries.

I thought he'd be doing "this drug is for cats" wink wink and then people use it, but in retrospect a judge would see right through that.

I wonder if it would be significantly cheaper to go through regulatory approvals for a drug in another country, to the point where it would be worthwhile to relocate the company?

Jump cuts, as they're called, can also be covered over by judicious use of b-roll and other supporting material.

But again, like longer reads, it takes more time/work. So a lot of channels just leave the raw jump cuts.

"This page looks better in the app"

No reddit. It sure as shit doesn't.
You're probably right. I'm not a developer, just a tech nerd, so it's a mistake to assume others would care about minutia.

Regardless, I think it is still fair to say that if any other language platform was withholding features like a debugger, nobody would consider those platforms particularly open.
Having submitted a somewhat trivial PR (System.HashCode), they really put you through the ringer. It took almost 3 weeks of constant (and valuable) feedback for the PR to move into a state that they liked.

All of this about dotnet not accepting PRs is unadulterated "Micro$uck FUD". The other critiques are valid, but not this one, not by a mile, it is complete bullshit.
You are right. But parent comment was about desktops, not data centers.

And in desktops performance is what matters. And price/performance ratio, and both are in Intel's favor.
I mean, when they dropped the tagline "The front page of the internet", for the committee engineered "Dive into anything", you knew it was going down.

Executing programs (including scripts, which are indicated by shebangs like #! /bin/bash) is the operating system's responsibility, not the shell's.

So yeah, shell scripts work exactly the same if you're running them as an executable. Some scripts, however, (like for instance .bashrc) are intended to be sourced by the shell rather than invoked as an independent executable. These won't work, and will need to be ported.

Historically, political leader assassinations have triggered wars or military responses. What would be the difference in this case?

Very fair point. OTOH there was a lot of detailed info on the A53 available in 2013 and SoCs were being announced with it.

So many great features in this release. Love the .args and subprocess support. I have been toying with redbean on and off, and I have been wanting to see if I could kludge together a poor man's long running job (scheduled) runner (something like Celery).

A guy I worked with a guy in a utility company who had, somehow or other, full control/ownership of a significant proportion of the customer meter data under his consulting company. I have absolutely no idea how he acquired it, but it paid him a six figure salary for five or ten hours work per month just patching a MySQL database. And he could basically name his price, as the company didn't have any other source of meter data for those customers.

> Hospitals aren't allowed to deny care (obviously). They will bill people outrageous amounts and know that they will only ever see a fraction of it. So prices for people who do pay are raised considerably to make up for it.

This supposed truth is widely misunderstood to the point of simply being not true.

Hospital ERs will stabilize you. That's all.

If you have something that requires long-term care like diabetes or cancer, you're fucked. If you have Type 1 Diabetes and can't afford insulin, the hospital won't just give you a supply. They'll wait until you're about to die from diabetic ketoacidosis.

A friend of mine had testicular cancer but had no money for treatment and no insurance. Hospitals straight-up told him that they won't treat him unless he's terminal. That's right, they wouldn't take care of him until he's on death's door, at which point all they'll be able to do is pump him full of painkillers to make him comfortable for his last couple hours. Luckily, the ACA passed, banning pre-existing condition clauses, and he was able to get some affordable insurance and treatment. Of course, anyone that has had cancer can tell you it likely never goes away [0]. He's always worried that a new tumor will appear somewhere.

You could do them in order but if you're using only a few characters you need only 1 LDA for each char. (How to do this is left as a creative exercise for the reader)
Historically affordability (defined by home prices, interest rates and income levels) has never been so bad.

The Chill on Campus
Care to share some of the stuff you've been horrified by on here? I'd love to read more.
In my field (search) there is a strong strong bias towards cutting edge, machine learning, etc etc in conference talks and blogs (including my own). It's exciting to peer into the future and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Not many people are blogging about the standard, block and tackle techniques that feel 'obvious' (yet aren't quite obvious to non-experts)
Yeah you don’t remember correctly at all.
Yes, that’s awful. It’s corporate gaslighting — the new page is user-hostile in nearly every way imaginable, but it helps product managers manipulate user attention to meet our quarterly KPIs, so we’ll happily lie to your face to get you to switch.
There's no indication that they were doing this, unless I missed something.
Yeah they have some syntactical similarities, like `if let`, and no parentheses with if's and for's. I really miss `guard let` in Rust! (I've heard it's coming at some point though?)

Swift leans real hard into verbose method names, just like Objective C did, and Rust is pretty much the exact opposite there. When I was writing more Swift I got used to it, and actually started to like it. And now that I'm in Rust a lot, I like the brevity.

I think Rust nudges (forces?) me to write code that's architecturally better, with fewer interdependecies. It was hard to get used to though. In the beginning I kept trying to make structs that started threads, where the thread called methods on the struct, and that was just a recipe for big pain.

Swift, on the other hand, especially with the way the macOS and iOS frameworks are designed, relies a lot on MVC, delegates, and mutability, which gets hard to keep track of.
Oh damn... and I did a fair bit of coding on C64 back in the day. :-D

If it's just make you're doing that for "make -C mydir" does that and puts you back in the original directory when it's done.
Eventually it will, we saw the same thing with countless technologies before, the new era of the WWW is inevitable and the blockchain will be the backbones to structure all the new infrastructure.
I think the biggest problem here is that git (out of the box) is not well suited to a monorepo.

But in terms of the reasons in "The case against monorepos":

> Reason #1. Monorepos go against single-team ownership principles

I think it's up for debate about whether or not single-team ownership is desirable. But even if it is, I don't see the difference. Just have teams own their directories within the monorepo.

If you want to enforce that a team owns a particular part of the repo, just put some rules into the code review tool to ensure that a change to that component can't be merged without someone from that team reviewing/approving it.

> Reason #2. Monorepos encourage bad practices involving massive refactoring

Again, this just appears to be the author's opinion that massive refactoring is somehow problematic, without providing much of an argument against it. If you're changing service APIs, then sure, you need to be careful about the order in which you roll out changes. But if you're changing the APIs of shared libraries, then being able to do a single large refactoring is absolutely valuable.

> Reason #3: Small repositories are better than large ones

This is just a tooling issue. You can still separate projects by directories, and if your tools allow you to just check out a subdirectory, or if you have some sort of virtual filesystem on top of your source control, then you don't have to pay the penalty of pulling down the entire repository.
I'm willing to bet a pretty good sum of money that no professional programmer has read all of the available documentation for all of their tools.
You realize what you did here, right?

You said you disagreed with the experiences of the OP and essentially the article.

Posited as evidence that your view was correct based on your opinion on what you perceive as the advantages of the internet.

Then treated your opinion as a fact that would be crazy to be argued against.

It's true. The internet does allow for easy communication between people. It does contain a whole lot of information. You can get the documents to most things. You can access most information quickly.

But that information doesn't require commentary. And it's not a guarantee that the people you want to talk to want to talk to you.

If I want to learn Rust, I don't go to a Rust forum, I look up the Rust documentation. If I want to know how to do something Rust, I search for the specific information. Oftentimes, my issue is a faulty assumption about how something works or not knowing the exact name of the method I want to call. Once again, that's not something I need personal interaction for. The very last thing I do, is ask people on the internet. Not out of any misguided misanthropy, but just because it's hardly ever needed.
Ruby and Rust and Rails aren't exactly hobby projects either. Mission critical software exists that uses those as well. Ultimately it's on the development and deployment teams to pin a version of the runtime for actual consistency in environment.
Had Enough, Eh? Come Back and Take What's Coming to You
A story for everybody who thinks pharma just makes drugs that just deal with symptoms. They’ve spent billions. They’d give body parts for something that could deal with symptoms. Huge market, huge unmet need, biological models to attack and candidates that do what the model says is the key.

And nothing. Got to go back to the whiteboards and the lab to come up with a different biological model. Blank paper as it were. Sometimes they get a drug. Sometimes the dog dies and sometimes nothing happens. To use the hitchhikers bit, it’s as if deep throat did all its work and didn’t say anything at all.
I can't fully agree. I think the situation is much better than it used to be and is improving, for example IT workers are not universally leaving anymore, a lot of them now stay and there are many foreign people coming here! There is now an exciting startup sector too, and the international corporations are finally building IT hubs here. But it keeps getting worse in the medical sector because of that law and because it's not paid well enough given the long hours and stress.

Nowadays, older doctors (those who have served their 10 years) are moving from insurance-based to cash-based treatment because they demand much more than the "pricing tables" dictate - so there's a lot of doctors around you, but you can't go to them because the "public" insurance can be used only where they accept it, they never give you cash. The prices are very similar to US hospital quotes - in absolutes, not PPP. Meanwhile, we still have the "public" healthcare providers (these are corporations, but usually wholly or partially owned by political entities), but the quality is getting worse, they are unable to keep it stable, much less improve - not surprising since they rely on essentially forced labor.
This HN topic is about cloud, and I don’t see anything in the comment you replied to that’s talking about desktop computers specifically.

Both Intel and AMD have plans to integrate memory more tightly onto the package of their datacenter processors in the next couple of years, IIRC, and that seems to be what the OP of this comment thread was hoping they would learn from M1.

But, whatever.
Well, I don't know how QuestDB works, and I couldn't find anything in the original benchmark, but probably they already have some sort of (geo)index in place? It's really strange to search geo-data by scanning the whole surface of the Earth. The point that Clickhouse outperforms this by just sorting on one axis (and even not using any fancy 2D indices) is reasonable.

Reddit has an odd strategy. I have Apollo on my phone, which is a great Reddit app that doesn’t have ads. Sometimes, I go to Reddit in Safari out of habit. The experience is so terrible, that it forces me to go from the website, which has ads, to Apollo, which doesn’t. The performance of the mobile website is absolutely terrible as well. It’s like they’re trying to make a garbage website.
