Most people will likely never read your profile unless they have a specific reason to, and replying to a post is not a specific reason for many (I basically never check profiles of people I've replied to).

Using upvotes to indicate "I've replied to you" is also going to be drowned out by noise because a poster has no way to know who has upvoted therefore no way of distinguishing your "I've replied to you" upvote from a regular user who upvoted their reply because it was informative/useful.
I'd recommend doing some of the free Stanford or MIT CS courses online and really trying as if you needed the credits to graduate. Don't quit when it gets hard because ultimately you want to be compensated for not quitting when problems get hard.
Its a step forwards for nouveau, because they can now use the same proprietary firmware (which is now redistributable) as the proprietary driver, which means they can get the same clock speeds as the proprietary driver.

Its a step backwards too, because the firmware is now signed and therefore unmodifiable, but that was a problem before the recent code release too.

It instead says something else: "I do not think your comment should exist." That's in effect what it does, it makes it harder for people to read the comment's content. I feel making that explicit in the rules would be a good thing.
Why's that? Wouldn't there be practical things to measure like picture quality, colour consistency, power usage, speaker quality, etc?

Ah. Shadowbanned are dead - greyed all the way out, and they say "[dead]". That's what I thought you meant when you said "totally greyed out".

Good comments that are grey, but not dead, I tend to upvote, because they're getting jumped on for no good reason.
In reality, your css file size is most likely not going to be any type of bottle neck in website performance anyways.

In my experience, browser side javascript is always the biggest render blocking issue with all the on-the-fly dom manipulation it might entail. Viewport specific css usually adds some kilobytes, a few hundred at most but the browser tends to be relatively swift about those as long as you don't use a lot of stuff like transitions or wildcard selectors on a broad spectrum.

It is so easy to throw yourself into software, I wouldn't know where to start as an amateur with hardware, it involves electricity and circuitry and probably months of learning. An amateur can scratch together a proof of concept in a few weeks.

So I heard that 80% of the money supply in circulation was printed over the last 18 months. I suspect that 'might' have something to do with inflation.
> ... That will inevitably come to an end, if for no other reason than there isn't enough money in the world to sustain its historic rate of climb. ...

The amount of "money" (fiat currency) in the world is potentially infinite. For a preview of what this looks like, have a look at what the Bank of Japan has been doing for the last few decades. In the last few years, Japan has undertaken a bold new experiment: yield curve control. The idea is to set all rates for all treasury durations, by buying every bid that comes in low. Every single one.

Now, I'm not saying this validates the view of Bitcoin as a store of value. But I am saying that the world's governments can debase their currencies to infinity and beyond if that's what it takes.

This sets up a potentially very meaningful dynamic in the years ahead. Money gets instantiated by governments, distributed to the public, and then dumped into Bitcoin by organizations and individuals eager to avoid debasement and the loss of capital that involves. In that scenario, Bitcoin begins sucking up the world's liquidity. The more that gets produced, the faster Bitcon sucks it up.

Infinite source of fiat currency meets inflexible supply of bitcoin.

Now, I'm not saying this will happen either with any certainty. But it is a possibility. The last 2 years have hinted of what that possible future might look like.
> If modern finance prevents scams better,

Its better at preventing a type of scam, but significantly worse at legal scam -> how much is an 8% inflation of the dollar on dozens of trillions of USD denominated financial instruments?

And there is also plenty of equity scams that are sanctioned by government - the kind that suppresses the ability of people to invest or get funded, to give special permissions to those that play the rules, etc. The way some get bailouts at the expense of the rest.

A system with a high degree of freedom and lack of oversight will have higher scams. The big question is, if people were given the choice to participate in both systems, which one will thrive?
elgato facecam is fairly decent.
Respectfully, how does this relate at all to the OP’s PDF? I don’t think you’re a bot, but the tangential relatedness of your comment to the actual content of this post is confusing at best.

Bad advice. “If you want to learn what calculation is like, use the damned calculator!” Right.

But compression looks so much better when it has decent source material to work with. It's the crappy noisy stuff it screws up on because it views the noise as detail and tries to preserve it, at the expense of details you do actually care about.

This is why movies still look really good even at surprisingly low bitrates (well one of the reasons, the other is of course unlimited time and lots of budget for tuning the compression which realtime applications don't have)
Forums that have upvote but not downvote seem to have less acrimonious interaction. I suspect that the quality of discussion here would be improved if downvoting were completely eliminated.

That's the excuse architects give, yes. But look at the extravagant, price-is-not-a-factor designs that win architecture awards [1] - the same soulless lack-of-detail they claim is purely a cost cutting measure, even when other elements of the design are very expensive. It's profoundly obvious they are at best uninterested, and at worst actively hostile, to classical beauty [2,3].

I've found that it's a chore to maintain large-scale software written in dynamic and static languages for different reasons. Large projects written in dynamic languages have turned into insane messes because people with varying levels of ability can not develop with confidence unless the unit test coverage is high and everyone is generally consistent and disciplined in their usage of language features. Sooner or later velocity goes down significantly because the value of the code has increased due to business growth and there is a very high level of anxiety about the ability (or lack thereof) to reason about far-reaching code changes, or even medium-sized code changes.

With static languages, on the other hand, writing routine things becomes a chore and people end up needing crutches in the form of advanced IDEs to generate boilerplate code that is a pain to read because of templating and such. Of course, error messages when templating/generics becomes involved are just horrible. Without generics you tend to lose a bit of the benefit of statically typed languages.

At the end of the day it's the size of the codebase, team discipline, and an emphasis on simplicity that matters more.

It is my experience, though, that people start out enamored of dynamically typed languages because of their expressivity and high productivity but then end up gravitating towards statically typed languages for large codebases, because they are more willing to trade convenience and coolness for safety and reliability the more senior they are.

Yes, and the completely fixable loss in efficiency has a significantly greater impact on our consumption than the entirety of cryptocurrency yet I have yet to see someone complaining about the perils of unshielded lighting.
Except without the block rewards the transaction fees will have to go up so miners make the same amount of income. This increase will certainly make BTC less desirable as international wires are still cheaper than btc currently.

>The thing most bizarre to me about the crypto space over the last 5ish years (defi, staking, blah blah) is that it always appears to be a "circle jerk" for more crypto. E.g. crypto is borrowed in one currency to ... buy crypto in a different currency.

Can't you say the same thing about the finance system in general? eg. portfolio loans are just taking one financial instrument (stocks), converting it into another financial instrument (cash), just so you can buy yet another financial instrument (more stocks). Same goes for options, futures, swaps.
> downvoting rude, angry, and insulty comments.

That seems like a poor idea. Reactions incentivize them to post more of the same, knowing with reasonable confidence that the comment was read. Low value content should not be given the time of day, which will leave those posting low value content to start to wonder if anyone is even seeing it, eventually boring them.

Upvote = funny, downvote = informative is the standard approach.
I'm not sure you could. Not without undermining your own point or making false equivalencies, anyway.

They don't function the same if you take a macro-economic view. Bitcoin does in this sense (If the value extracted by miners from the BTC ecosystem to keep it running exceeds the value created by it, then it by definition has to be a speculative bag-holding scheme.)
>Not understanding that cheese generally still has lactose in it, and thus can still be problematic for lactose-intolerant humans.

Turns out the world is full of nuance. But generally speaking, humans with lactose intolerance will have trouble enjoying the consumption of dairy-based products... Including - you guessed it! Cheese!

Certainly, some hard cheeses are lower in lactose. But that which constitutes Mac & Cheese? Oof.

This shouldn't be too surprising. It is well known that what a mother ingests during pregnancy can affect development, so it makes sense that stress-related hormones could do the same.

Stocks aren't just financial instruments, they represent a claim to real-world value creation that exists outside of Wall Street.
What supplements help for this?
We still disagree, but I appreciate your reply and it is indeed logically consistent. Thanks for the explanation.
Not always, sometimes its just an interest, or it doesn't necessarily mean they have the technical means? For example a restaurant owner is not necessarily a technical expert, but could have an idea for a generic product that benefits every restaurant out there, and prototypes something, and gets funded and hires real devs to rework his prototype into a functioning viable product.

I have met and interviewed with YC founders who are not developers by any means for software heavy projects.
Web fonts are pretty small and only load if used, and loaded only if they're not cached. It's definitely added requests, but those can be deferred intelligently.

Reflowing is preventable using modern techniques, but honestly it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. The tradeoff is you get access to lots of different type options. More type options means more you can convey with type, which is a good thing for people who need to communicate on the web. It's more than just marketing sometimes.

I'm looking to change careers from SWE to PM but I don't want to manage huge projects so I have been thinking of freelancing as a Personal project manager. I would work with people to help them plan and deliver personal projects such as online courses, weight management, daily exercise, personal projects and life planning. Most people find it very hard to stay on course over a long period so that's where I would come in and offer my services.

I think you are correct in your thinking. Freelancers should hire a PM.

I think web browsers could get framerates on typical webpages to 180 fps if it were a priority. I have found some sites that should be renderable at super high framerates that struggled to keep an average of 60 fps.

One reason that browsers aren't super fast is that it will always be possible to make a super slow site. Speeding up sites like HN is really not very important to battery life or user experience.

Also the necessary complexities of the browser make it much harder to get 100% out of your hardware. I would guess that browsers are 3x slower than they could be on most CPU/GPU bound tasks.
>Also, "talented" seems very vague to me.

The fact is, there are a ton of shitty employees. Anybody who has ever worked with others, knows that. In a union environment, those people are paid the same. That naturally grates on a lot of people. If you work with someone who does the same job as you, but poorly...you would rightfully expect to be paid more.

I don't want this to come off as me saying unions are shit, but the question was asked why would people ever not support unions and that's generally why.
I would find it really annoying yes.

I agree with the author that recursive data structures are a good starting point from which to teach recursion. My favorite example is writing a program that computes the disk space used in a directory, including all of its subdirectories. It's very practical and immediately interesting to students, and they are motivated to understand why it works.

It also helps if students have been exposed to the idea of recursion in math, for example by sequences where a_n is defined in terms of a_{n-1}, and/or proofs by induction.
I would instead suggest to 'flag' comments that are rude, angry and insulting.

You know, I used to feel the same way, "good at my job bad at leetcode", but after asking around a bit, now I'm genuinely wondering how many people out there actually can get optimal solutions on leetcode problems without any practice - which seems to be the real insecurity that gets under people's skin when they write another lamentation on the state of tech hiring.

It sounds to me like the primary purpose of these difficult DSA questions seems less about accurately gauging one's ability to do the job and more about paring down a veritable tidal wave of applicants that big-name companies like FAANG routinely get. As such I don't think it's so unreasonable to get demolished by these kinds of problems if you haven't done any practice at all on them. Rather than looking at it as an indictment of your programming skill, it's probably more indicative of you not having trained enough for the "FAANG-lympics". They're all basically competitive programming problems. Of course you're going to get demolished if you haven't trained for a competition.

With that in mind I think if you look at smaller shops, they may not give you these academic-tier math questions (I know we sure as hell don't), more stuff like fizzbuzz or recursive factorial or any other very trivial whiteboard style question. At least where I work I know we don't get people beating the door down, and if we just cargo-culted Google's process on the comparative trickle of applicants, we wouldn't get any asses in the seats at all. Of course we also can't afford to pay FAANG-tier wages.

I guess you can look at it like this: the highest paying jobs all have the most difficult interviews. Almost everyone I talked to literally practiced to do them, it's not a talent thing, or might not be anyway. This can be avoided by applying to smaller, less-paying shops, so I guess it's ultimately a question of how much you're willing to practice and for what salary.
That's what I mean by very small harm - hard to isolate from other factors, so no really relevant to individuals' lives. Disabilities can obviously be treated the same way - we don't have an epidemic of blindness. Maybe it's coming when all those plastic-bottle-using-mothers'-babies reach 80 years old, but the chance of anything dramatic happening is shrinking as time goes by.
> And it's not even compiling and optimizing and linking, it's just transpiling typescript to javascript. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to think we can't do better.

I don't do (much) frontend development, so I haven't had a chance to use it, but it looks like esbuild does do better: https://esbuild.github.io/ -- are you guys able to use that?

I agree with the sentiment, though! And it's part of the reason I like Go: build speeds are fast, especially incremental builds (which is almost all the time, given how it caches compiled packages).
> They essentially mean un-networking your console, never updating it, only using physical media, likely losing your PSN account.

Everything you list there is a plus in non-wealthy countries were internet access is slow and expensive. I suspect the total sales of bootleg PS2 games greatly exceeded Sony's legit sales in the global south due to the widespread availability of "chipped" PS2 consoles.
The feature is called “Continuity Camera”.
Probably because this isn't a new take, we've all heard the same theory many times before. Right now transaction fees are in the pennies. If the price goes up, maybe they'll become tens of pennies or even dollars--I don't think that's a deal-breaker. You should also take into account the lightning network. Transaction fees will have to grow in the coming decades, but if most users stay on LN they won't be directly exposed to those fees.
It took me 20 seconds to compile and link a program on my PDP 11 with 64k of memory (yes, 64k for the OS plus all the drivers plus user programs). It still takes me around 20 seconds today with 1,000,000 times more memory and ~10000 times faster processors.
