Is it just me, or does this post look like a scam to find a rich guy and con him for all his money? :)
I question both the point and the well-definedness of this distinction between the concrete and the abstract. Does the Lorentz factor not "represent physical reality" and will it not also stand until the end of civilization?

Why should a particle (almost) never be allowed to bear the name of its inventor, but an equation or a constant should?
Using the same reasoning cows would be indistinguisable than rats. I wouldn't drink rat milk.
You think I wanted 10MB of fonts? Nope. Talk to Public Affair's design team.

You believe I wanted 200MB of images? Wrong. I wanted text, maybe some thumb-nails with pop-up images. But the photography group has to exist for a reason.

20MB bundles of Javascript? Sorry, but between the trackers marketing wanted and the fact that my boss' boss wants to have some hip new framework on his resume means I'm stuck when maybe just some jQuery would have done the job.

You are thinking about the web circa 1995, with the Webmaster being the master. That's been gone for a while. We implement what others demand, and they don't care if it is slow on other machines, they don't give a damn if it isn't accessible, and they could care less if the content is essentially empty, just pictures of people smiling because they chose this product. We're really not in charge of this unless this is a passion project personal site or we're some scrappy little startup.
A mnemonic that suits more cases is, "i before e, except after c."
yeah but the web on a campus intranet mid 90s was super fast. i think you both have valid points.
What chat apps are impervious to Chat Control? Heard great things about Matrix & Session and also Cwtch which uses Tor and is zero knowledge. I can safely presume WhatsApp will now be compromised by these measures, so I’m ditching it in favour of surveillance resistant messenger apps.
It was interesting the see them switch back to Win32 after all of these greenfield alternatives that quickly died. (WPF, WinRT, etc.) Makes you wonder what was going on during that time. Contrast Apple which has been with Cocoa which is an evolution of Next Step.

So I slightly misremembered the subtlety and it is more forgiving in that Add can be called while waiting if a thread is still executing in it.
I trust but verify. I have a separate contain for my email, banking, and "news". If something shows up outside it's little container... that's a red flag.

And you should be more worried about metadata spying. It's not what you know, it's who, and metadata has less protections, is easier to collect legally, and is easier to store for VERY long periods :-)

But yeah, if you want to frustrate an attacker that aside from being on "example.com" they have no idea what you're doing, it's great but too many sites use excessive subdomains rather than after the slash.

(Maybe I should write an essay titled "Excessive use of subdomains considered harmful" and troll a bit later this evening)
You know what? We don't actually need all this content that is being pooped out of everyone. Because most of it's shit, and not worth the time to even watch. Yet people remain convinced that we need it, and some of you remain convinced that they need to pay for it. What a lie.

Burn it all, I say.

The problem isn’t that the internet is too big. It’s that Google and the internet grew apart from each other.

Some old sites never upgraded to https or other technical demands Google made of them. Google chose to stop indexing these sites to force them to change their behavior.

Most new content is trapped in walled gardens of some format. The one I see all the time is Discord, but the communities you care about are probably talking in a non-indexable group chat rather than an indexable Internet forum like they might have 20 years ago.
In my line of work, there are actually a bunch of Vietnamese guys making Western level quant trader type salaries, living in small castles in their home country.

The thing is, you can't suppress the wages unilaterally for someone who knows how to do things. There's always going to be some other firm offering them a similar deal, with the same capital (equipment, IP, support, trading capital etc) for them to use. So even if you know they only need a tenth of what a Western quant needs to live well, you can't just offer them that, they will end up taking an offer very similar to what they'd get if they moved to NYC or London.

The $300 people are victims of supply and demand. Often it's cookie-cutter type contract work that many people know how to do, and the real problem they have as a supplier of that knowledge is how to get in the front of the queue to be the guy to help a western small-time entrepreneur build his website. When this is the case, the organiser, basically the owner of the outsourcing company, has all the negotiating leverage and sets the price accordingly.

The difference is that the firm with very specifically exploitable capital needs specific knowledge to operate that capital. You need devs with certain skills, and there's only so many of them, especially as your process gives a lot of false negatives. As such devs are rarely identified, you are wasting a lot of money not splitting the pie generously when you find one. I was talking to someone the other day and the agent told me there were 40 candidates interviewed for three roles, which is a huge amount as I had 5 one-on-ones plus a takehome.

Firms that don't really have anything special will not pay anything special, in relation to where the employee is based.
Cheese to me is a processed good of milk.

Vegan cheese is not, it shouldn't use cheese in it.

Eg. Gluten free cheese would be processed cheese of milk with a lot extracted out of it. But it would still originate from milk.
To be sure, I didn´t mean one needs a suit or dress pants. I don´t like them even, but I can imagine you like the weight if that is important for you. The downside is that they are more prone to wear then denim.

Personally I prefer some good premium jeans. Nudie and g-star are excellent choices. If you are in your twenties, definitely combine it with a button down shirt or a good hoodie. I didn´t mean people should show up in a suit, on the contrary. But, as a general comment to the other commentators, if you buy your jeans for 20 euro and your t-shirt for 5 euro at your convenience store, I bet you are not going to look well like you could. At least in The Netherlands, in my experience, it is hard to get a sweater for 50 euro with a premium look, at least outside of the sale cycle. Shopping during sale might help to get the better stuff.

I had an issue with RAW decoding when the dji mini 2 came out. Dec's were extremely responsive and helpful, and the software is free and extremely powerful to boot.
I don't argue in FB about the environmental benefits of EVs, but rather hype immediate benefits: faster on the 0-40 times than most cars (even beating some sports cars), less maintenance, and never having to hit the gas station. Just plug in at night.
I mean I could tell almost the exact same anecdote from when I had to have my appendix out in the US. The key difference is that I ended up with a fucking insane bill to pay at the end of all of it.

Plus the NHS was better historically. The conservatives have been playing starve the beast with it, and Labor is about as impotent as the Dems are in the US.

Either way they still spend less and have better outcomes, so that part at least isn't very complex.
I don't know the backstory with the sr.ht founder or anything, but I think there is a difference. GitHub always started out as a for-profit company, albeit targeting the market of FOSS developers/communities, and had a closed-source product sold for on-prem use. Sourcehut is itself FOSS software from the beginning and has its own developer community, so it is a little different.
Yeah, I was reading this and thought "Have fun!":

Another possibly useful book, How to Read a French Fry, by Russ Parsons.

Exactly. I think people who complains about complexity of some of the tools, just have not worked on the complex webapp(not the webpage) before. Unfortunately these 2 always get conflated.
What? There's nothing stopping any dev from charging for their OSS software (and many do, whether individually or as a core part of their business, like Red Hat).

I'm not anti-people-charging for software, whenever they want.

I just don't want OSS communities taken over by profiteering, the same way that the Android marketplace became a cesspool for get-rich-quick crappy apps, or YouTube is filled with automated advertising spam, or the Stack-republishing spam sites. Monetization destroys organic communities -- that's my problem with it.

It's one thing to say teachers should get paid more -- and I fully agree -- another thing to say that say that volunteers contributing to a community project need to be fairly compensated. When you start paying volunteers, it both changes the underlying motives, attracts different kinds of contributors, and also diminishes the emotional reward of their work.

Not saying people can't get paid for indie projects and free (as in freedom) projects, but that there is also value in free (as in dollars) software -- not really just because it's free, but because it creates a different kind of culture and community around it.
May be possible using driftctl and some API calls.
Not necessarily. If your company has strong fundamentals, for example Microsoft, then blitzscaling is not needed because not even a free alternative can compete with you. And if you don't have strong fundamentals, you really shouldn't be taking investor money anyway. Blitzscaling is just an exciting term to align founder and investor incentives (which tend to be at odds with one another)
> but generally new dystopic situations are unlike previous ones

Not really. Replace Stalin with Putin and the incentives not to talk about the war in Ukraine are very similar.

> In 1984 there is the idea that newspeak is trying to eliminate the ability to express thoughts contradictory to the party line. It's interested to think about what that might look like at every level of implementation.

That's nothing new. "Troubles" in UK/Ireland. "Special Operation" in Ukraine. Blasphemy in most of religious societies that still cared about these things. N-word. Etc.

Language is a weapon, always was. It's not even restricted to totalitarian regimes, totalitarian regimes just use it more and generally for evil means.

My problem with 1984 and how it's perceived today is that it made a whole mythology around totalitarianism that makes it seem there's healthy "normal" state and inhuman totalitarian state, and they share nothing in common. In practice they use the same tools, the differences are in scope and intentions.

A lot of similarity here to roads: The more lanes you add, the more cars drive on that road, but it never gets faster to drive on.
I would love to see what comes out with certain aspects of the prompts negated.

- "lemon gelato that’s been shaped to look like a heart, on a handmade waffle cone being held up to the camera in a cobblestone courtyard somewhere in italy" ... what about "somewhere not in italy"?

- "Diorama made of clay of a group of computer programmers looking disapprovingly at their CMO who has just given them diet pepsi instead of mountain dew" ... "looking approvingly"?

- "friends gathering around a tabletop “shichirin” grill where an assortment of meats and seafoods are being grilled over glowing binchotan charcoal; everyone is happy." ... "everyone is unhappy"?

If oil gets anywhere close to that it'd be absolutely criminal for American politicians to cow tow to any environmentalists that want to curb oil production/efficiency around the US. Oil prices that high would result in countless deaths from unintended consequences.

Would be horribly tragic.
To my knowledge gmail has never purged unused accounts.

It would be a security nightmare to let anyone else register and reuse an email address anyway. So the only benefit is saving a little disk space.

But disk space for highly compressible text that will probably never be accessed is super cheap.
How is your experience with performance of ligatures in fonts? I recently tried to create a "meta-font" for Google fonts, which contained a glyph for each font displaying the font name in the font's own style. The glyph would be displayed as a ligature if the font name was encountered. This way I could have a list with all font names that would display normally without the meta font available, but with the meta font available, the font names would be displayed in the fonts' own style.

I liked this idea a lot, but unfortunately with roughly 1500 ligartures (one for each font on Google fonts) the meta font became much larger than expected and quite slow when used in the browser. Any experiences how many ligartures are fine performance wise?

> Don't. Make. Me. Learn. It's not because I don't want to learn.

I disagree. I. Don't. Want. To. Learn.

Almost nothing in between me and getting my problem solved is interesting nowadays. Everything I have to learn is just another yak I have to shave in between me and getting my problem solved. This is doubly irritating when the yak is infrastructure (configuration systems, build systems, source control systems, etc.) that has zero bearing on my problem.

Here was one: "We want to add audio to our phone app." GROAN.

App is in Flutter on Android which implies:

1) Flutter

2) Dart

3) Gradle (dear God, help me)

4) Groovy

5) Oboe (for sound on Android) implying

6) Android NDK

7) CMake (hey Satan, I'll take your help too)

8) C++

And I'm leaving out a bunch of stuff. And there will be even more for iOS.

NONE if this is interesting to me. Only 2,5 and 8 are directly applicable to my problem. Everything else is a tower of garbage that I have to chop through with a machete in order to get to the task that I actually want to solve.

And, as I understand it, somehow the web and Javascript universe is worse.

So, no, I don't want to learn.
Radicle is a decentralised Github alternative to the point it does not have any centralised servers. However, because of ”web3” many people here on HackerNews might not take it seriously, even thought it might deserve a closer look.

There's a huge middle ground of running your own instance of Gitlab/etc. versus going to the mailing list style of development (even that could be a lot easier with a more readable web interface and web posting support).
I work at such a "tier 3" company. It's not about the complexity of the tooling or the code. Most of that is stuff the typical Enterprise Java Dev can "grok" easily enough with just a bit of a learning curve. The problems of scale and infrastructure are mostly abstracted from engineers at these places already, and that's where the complex tooling comes in. The rest of it is unnecessarily complicated, mainly because these companies have two problems. One: they've made a point of hiring at the high end of the education pool (masters, PhD) to work on what amounts to glorified CRUD--these people are bored, and add complexity where it is unnecessary. Two: the promotion mechanism depends on running a technically complex, "needle moving" project--this also promotes unnecessary complexity.

The real reason the salaries at these companies is higher is also two-fold: 1) "everyone" wants to work there, so they can be selective and use salary as a justification for that selectivity; 2) they want to keep their overqualified staff happy enough to not start competitors.
I'm considering getting the oldest motherboard and i7 cpu that supports 64gb of RAM, as an upgrade for my i7-3770 desktop, which still feels fast enough, but only has 16gb.

They're so cheap on ebay, and it would be a way to get avx-2 support too. The risk is that 2nd hand may have reliability problems of course.
Maybe that's how we got WSL

As long as it's P2P without involving any cryptocurrencies, I don't see why you'd label it "Web3"?

Edit: seems Ethereum is a opt-in optional part of Radicle, so I see how people could believe it to be a part of the whole "Web3" effort.

Well, as long as I can run it without Ethereum, I'm happy.
Except that I'd guess that there is no "good" case in the case for MSVCRT's malloc. You shouldn't assume malloc is free, but you should also be able to assume it won't be horrifyingly slow. Just as much as you should be able to rely on "x*y" not compiling to an addition loop over 0..y (which might indeed be very fast when y is 0).

Yes, this unfortunately isn't the reality MSVCRT is in, but it is quite a reasonable expectation.
I'm in the process of doing this now. You can close accounts from Control Tower without needing to log in as root to each separate account, adding a credit card, removing it from the org, and then closing it manually.

However, you can only close them from Control Tower at the rate of 2 to 3 per month, due to a hard limit quota which cannot be changed, even if you request it. Needless to say, this sucks when you've followed AWS's own best practices and created lots of accounts using Control Tower's "vending machine."

AWS's archaic account model is one reason we've switched to GCP.
I think the primary intent for the First Amendment and best indicator how US is different from most places is how in the US anyone can freely say whatever is on their mind about anything government. Okay, sure, except for the hate speech such as calls for violence, obviously. Or make a sort of a statement by desecrating national symbols - such as burning the flag or flying it upside down. And fear no legal persecution.

People are people - they have emotions and whenever they argue politely or swear profusely they must not be persecuted for being upset with something. Even if they're most terribly wrong.

I found this nice summary table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insult_of_officials_and_the_st... (sure, Wikipedia can be wrong, but I think this table should be accurate enough). It's all "no" only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Georgia, Ireland, Romania, Slovakia and the United States. This is a minority, surely not "most of the western world".

I wasn't writing about me -- I personally I wouldn't dismiss anyone because of certs, in fact I don't care that much about people's resumes at all.

However if I was looking for a job, I'd be a bit careful with including what to me seemed like "unimportant" certs, for the reason I mentioned

> The question is whether or not people with any certificates can ethically be dismissed

To me, the question was rather if there's in practice a risk that it happens, (un)ethical or not

You have some incongruency in what you write: you wrote that you are beautiful, but men ghost you after 1 night.

As a man I can tell you that all my friends want to be intimate with a beautiful woman at least multiple times even if she has an unbearable personality.

I'm 40 and most of my successful friends who want kids date women under or around 30, because that's what our urges say when we want more than just sex / relationship.

The reality is that at this age if you really want a partner with a baby you probably have to marry a guy you are not attracted to (my suggestion for a 25 year old woman who wants to marry would be very different).
That was true for the longest bull run in history, which may or may not continue.
Santa Clara county has a population density of about 600/km^2, or 0.4 acres per person. If we populate half the Earth's land at this density and make the rest wilderness, world population would be about 50 billion. The Earth has unlimited energy at this scale for desalination, indoor heating and cooling, etc. In Santa Clara county, dramatic measures aren't even needed. My family of 4 lives on 0.3 acres and it's technically possible to raise all our food here, including some meat.

In this drought year we've received ~ 70,000 gallons of rainwater to date. We've used about twice that but it would be easy to cut our use in half by changing the landscaping. Likewise we could make all our energy with a fission reactor in our basement. The actinides in a cubic meter of earth from our yard could power our 5-bedroom home and an EV for over 4 years.

Of course it'd be easier to use higher grade ore and share a reactor with neighbors. The whole neighborhood could run on a reactor the size of one of the transformers in the substation down the street.

The planet can easily support 50 billion people until the sun destroys it, without even feeling particularly crowded.

Very good reading. I always say that when people say "hey, remember when we had 10G hard drives. They were so small". People don't realize that today we have bigger drives but we also have bigger files. Of course our pictures today have better quality, but proportionately we have similar storage capacity as we had in the early 2000's
