Code generation is an awesome alternate, I'm more familiar with sqlc.dev. They're doing some really interesting work.

My goal with Copper is to provide out-of-the-box integrations with popular solutions to various problems. For now, I picked GORM but I definitely see adding support for other tools.
I don't disagree with this in the least, but I would say that people are contributing less per person today not because there are more people but because of other reasons. There's no doubt that in at least some instances the next [insert really cool person here] instead just got sucked in a vapid world of social media, or endless self indulgence with entertaining videos, or other "niceties" of today.

The point of this though is that it's all still on a distribution. We've lowered the mean but a higher quantity still means more outliers, which are those that ultimately do neat stuff for all of us.

"Today, these chips sell in used form for as little as $180 on eBay—a more than 90 percent price decrease, a price $100 less than the roughly comparable AMD Ryzen 7 2700X"

A 2700x is ~30% faster and also uses less power. Regardless, you can find it for $210, not $280 as the author claims:

A better comparison would be the 2700, which is actually a fair bit cheaper than the E5-2667 and still outperforms it.

Just as long as that speech isn't pornographic. Or advocating direct harm towards a protected class. Or perceived to be threatening towards an elected official...

The 1st amendment may have been intended as an absolute, but courts have typically interpreted it with a fair amount of leeway.
In Sweden you can get an 100-year mortgage (pretty much interest-only), it used to be common for people buying for just a year or two and then selling at a higher price.

You can only fix the interest rate for 3-10 years at a time though.
An advantage I didn't see specifically mentioned in the article -- some CPUs, especially multi-core, especially Threadripper PRO, aren't released to the individual market, so enterprise surplus can be the only way to get them.
Isn't liquid cooling much higher performance? I've seen some liquid cooled PCs with parts below 40 C under load and very quiet fans. I wonder if we could take it even further by placing the radiators out of the air conditioned room or even outside the house.

There isn’t anything that can be done to lower housing costs without angering current owners. Returning to the 1960s rules on zoning and approval would massively increase the number of houses being built but also devalue a lot of peoples “investments”. Winners would be any one renting now and anyone in the construction business. So most likely nothing will be done to lower housing prices.

The Analytic Divide Is Alive and Well in Philosophy: A Quantitative Analysis
No other city has constructed tunnels like this or funded them in this manner.

The non-obvious differences are that Boring Co tunnels are smaller and unventilated, making them faster and cheaper to construct. The limitation is that this prevents combustion engine vehicles from using the tunnels. Im not aware of any other electric only car tunnels built.

On the funding side, the innovation is that the cities simply provide the permits and the casinos and Boring co pay for it. It is like constructing private above ground roads, but without the logistics challenges. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

I was running my air cooled parts at 60oC without the complexity. If you use large fans it makes the same noise. And approximately the same energy is burned off.

Ultimately I moved to M1 because it did the same workload with less watts.

Either way you’re paying money for compute. Do you want to spend that on compute or heat as a side effect?
ha, add me to that list :) I think it's fine if CLIs are optional and I've tried to do that with Copper. Of course, your initial setup will be longer without scaffolding so it's not a great first time developer experience
The blanket statement is correct, though. It may not be couched in a palatable way, but only in that it doesn't spend lots of words on how lovely everyone is and how few people it is addressing. It just says what's true and leaves it at that. If you'd rather not work in that environment then that's reasonable, but I think it's a little refreshing compared to what I normally read from big OSS projects.
Congrats on taking the initiative! It’s hard.

I have ADHD and I eat healthy and track macros semi-successfully. Here’s my advice:

Ignore 99% of advice out there.

Personally, I try to cook as little as possible. Some people enjoy cooking, that’s great! Even I do sometimes. But for most meals, the slog of buying groceries, preparing, cooking, then cleaning is no fun and I end up throwing away food and eating out.

Things like meal prep can be extremely taxing for a neurodiverse person — I’m sure you can do it but it’s probably harder than it is for most people and you can put all of that incredible creative energy into something more productive.

Find a few healthy snacks that you like and buy those. Healthy = not junk, don’t overthink this part. These are just to curb cravings. Baby carrots, lettuce + deli meats, chickpea popcorn, watermelon, whatever. Set up a recurring order from an online grocery delivery or Amazon and call it a day. Eating these when you’re hungry will make all of your other food decisions more deliberate.

Get all of your groceries delivered. Safeway has it, FreshDirect, Instacart, many other options. It makes it quick to reorder the same things, you avoid indecision in the grocery store, and you save lots of time.

Buy healthy microwaveable food. I use The Chicken Pound [1] or you might like Freshly [2]. Trader Joe’s and other grocers have pre made stuff that’s pretty good too. Don’t cook rice the 45 minute way on the stove, buy microwaveable rice.

All of these could be healthier: watermelon has sugar, pre made has extra sodium, etc. If you get to the point you have extra time and space to optimize for these things then go for it, but to start out, the only thing that matters is calories + not eating junk.

Probably just not eating junk will make a world of difference, but if you want to dive deeper, track calories. Figure out what your baseline is using TDEE Calculator [3] and choose the slow loss. I use Keto app [4] for tracking (I don’t do keto) because I like searching by barcode and voice.

There are lots of rabbit holes to dive down and I anticipate if you get the basics on “easy mode” then you might view some of these smaller optimizations as actually fun!

But ya, as someone with ADHD the biggest thing for me was just letting go of the shame of not being able to meal prep like a normal person. Instead, I spend some extra money on premade and grocery delivery, set myself up to be 80% healthy on autopilot, and then spend my energy on much more engaging and productive (and high leverage / high return financially) activities.

Or overall less noise, especially in smaller cases where you can't fit an extremely large (read: large fan) direct attached air cooler. Larger fans mean more cooling per dB.

Also, water coolers have a lot more thermal mass (because, water), which means that the fan noise that remains can be less annoying as it doesn't ramp up and down as fast with CPU usage, assuming you're driving your fan curve from water temp and not CPU temp.

So it's not fair to say they're just about "showing off" IMHO. There's actual quality of life benefits if you care about noise.
This doesn't censor anything at all, because it's still perfectly clear what is being said.

You’re mistaken on there not being enough time. Just don’t waste it. A decade here, a decade there, if you keep applying yourself you will have time for much (though unlikely all.)
> So we should not think about it first, just do it?

It is much easier to bake concurrency and parallelism from the start than to retrofit it in an existing sequential project, even more so as it avoids sub-optimal patterns.

> And not consider whether there are better solutions such as checking we're using the right algos or cache-aligning our accesses or using a probabilistic filter before hitting the DB or..

Why are you declaring that those are incompatible with concurrent programs, exactly?
I’m not advocating for any change in laws; talking about working conditions is generally legally protected in the US, even online. That seems very different to me than leaking the contents of a company meeting that contains sensitive information.

Does not belong on HN.
OK, let's calculate! Old PC amortized to 130W constantnly, 24/7, @ 20c per kWh = 0.624$ per day, that is 227.76 per year. New workstation today is like ~4000$. So that means you'd have to run it more than 17 years at that price of electricity to be on par with price of new computer, not counting electricity for new PC.

I've actually was able to turn off all heaters during winter and heat my house using computers only! I'd say, "higher" TDP of older CPU was really an advantage here. And, let's be real, new high performance CPUs arent low-TDP either (270W for new AMDs), or GPUs (350W range for high end gaming card).

So, I'd really say it's environmentally friendlier to use waste heat as house heating than using "space heaters" only. (I really do have to heat using electricity, as I don't have gas nor any other source.)
I prefer Stimulus vs htmx + hyperscript for two reasons:

2. You are not limited by htmx and hyperscript

It's not a smart move. Price cannot and do not trend in one direction forever. This is natural force to discover market clearing prices and thus efficient resource allocation. The only difference is how bad the pullbacks are.

Just ask any central bank which has lost a battle against the free markets (which is all of them). It's much more costly.

Yes, that is exactly like it works in Italy, the inheritance is made of credits/assets+debts, the heir(s) can (should) evaluate the + and the - and then have the option to either accept or refuse the inheritance as a whole (the good and the bad together).

It is not common that heirs refuse an inheritance as usually the overall balance is positive, but it can happen, in these cases (like the case where there are no known heirs) the whole inheritance goes to the state, that proceeds - as you said - to liquidate the property and repay - in whole or partially - the debts.
Just in case the HN crowd aren't aware, you should probably ignore anything the Daily Mail publishes.
That's.. interesting - seems kind of like packaging up 'renting + levered bet on housing market', it's not obvious to me why the ordinary person would want that, or the state see fit to let them?
I’ve built several air cooled and water cooled PCs. The benefits are over spoken by a mile. You can run CPUs at far higher temperatures with no net noise increase. And it costs a lot less and has less maintenance.

The larger Be Quiet coolers are far quieter than the best water cooling solutions out there and the only maintenance is vacuuming out the crap once a year.

Edit: also as a friend found the air coolers don’t pee all over your RTX2060 and blow it and the power supply up.
> “The sad truth is that the path of an architect or principal / staff engineer is closed for a pure android developer”

When I worked at Uber as an engineering manager, this was partially the case: at Uber’s scale, there was a path to grow to Staff-level just with pure mobile, but it was a crowded place and difficult to get to as a mobile-only engineer expert in one platform only.

I encouraged native engineers wanting to get to that next level to go broader - venture into areas like iOS or web or backend, to become a more well-rounded engineer and ultimately someone who can lead and influence wider groups.

If you don’t work at a company with large mobile platforms, switching stacks to eg backend typically has more path for growth.

I also wrote a book called Growing as a Mobile Engineer where my advice is basically the above: to grow beyond the senior level, either you’ll need opportunities to work at places with large enough mobile scale - typically ones with mobile platform teams -, or leave native mobile to further your career.
Agree when we are talking about random people on the streets and fleeting encounters. But, for example, I would not go to an interview in sweatpants and flip-flops. There are also social situations where I expect my counterparts to be dressed with more care. It is not necessarily the right way to treat people but I've witnessed several times someone being judged in professional situations for very wrinkled, old threadbare t-shirts, as an example.

Mine is a European perspective.
> Thermal cycling such as is typical in a gaming PC is far more damaging than constant temperatures.

the reasoning is probably pretty obvious, but what i heard is the constant expansion and contraction from heating and cooling the chips and connections is what causes the damage im those cases
I think you might be confusing parallelism with concurrency somewhat. Writing highly parallel software is only important in certain domains. However concurrency is pervasive due to I/O, you will struggle to find a domain that does no I/O (especially one that doesn't benefit from parallelism).

Structured concurrency is about managing concurrent operations with less cognitive overhead. The most common case being handling stuff like cancelation in a reasonable way. These problems are relevant everywhere I/O is relevant which I would wager is most programs people write and interact (see I/O!) with on a daily basis.

Should you be using concurrency without thinking? Well ofcourse not but if you aren't using it there is a very good chance you are "doing it wrong" for which wrong is some approximation of providing a poor user experience or writing software that makes inefficient use of resources and/or wall-clock time.

On the topic of highly parallel software however I do mostly agree, there is a few things that benefit from highly parallel architectures but generally it's going to make whatever you are doing way harder. Some exceptions are forms of limited parallelism like making use of SIMD in tight loops, this is great because it doesn't require you to make your program logic parallel, data operations just execute in parallel on multiple inputs on a single thread.

Anyways. My point is almost all programs need some form of concurrency whilst most don't need parallelism. Concurrency is hard and has a multitude of competing solutions (async/await, threading w/monitors + atomics + friends, CSP) while parallelism is generally even more difficult but has much more limited solution space whist having some overlap in terms of abstraction layers.
When I read threads like these I feel I must be terribly unsophisticated/"un"-picky compared to the average HN users. I have been using Feedly since when Google Reader went down, and I follow ~100 feeds (including HN!

Cheaply produced without taste or value that lasts for weeks without going bad.
Unhealthy food. And it's making us more stupid because we don't get enough of the nutrition we usually would.

I remember the story about 2 girls from India who moved to the UK.
They would get ill and no reason could be found until someone had the idea that the food in India was actual natural food, and the food in the UK was this watered down food.

How often do you eat a tomato nowadays that tastes like a tomato and not like a watermelon without the taste?
