Some in the Green Movement --- a wildly nonuniform clade, for what it's worth --- view the engrossed obsession with accruing fiscal wealth whilst ignoring all exteranlised impacts on other humans and the environment as a whole as itself grossly misanthropic, and worse.

That said, broad-brushing epithets deserved or otherwise seems a poor foundation on which to base common cause and understanding, and I'd respectfully request you refain from doing so. In the spirit of HN's commenting guidelines if for no grander principle:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Tuxedo!!! I had completely forgotten about Tuxedo!!!

Thanks for the tip :)
Not only attitude, but also personal connections ("it's not what you know but who know"), social skills, chance ("being in the right place at the right time"), being tall, culture fit, product-market fit.. I think also the right kind of knowledge, not only technical, but knowing what problems people are having in some specific niche markets, or knowing how to solve something that people need..
On a similar note, tree/graph structures should be avoided versus lists unless there is a good reason. Flat is better than nested. A linear block of code is far easier to reason about than a network of function calls, or (heaven forbid) a class hierarchy.

Not that such tools don't have their place, but I've seen too much convoluted code that has broken simple things into little interconnected bits for no reason other than someone thinking "this is how you're supposed to write code" and having fun adding abstractions they Ain't Gonna Need.
As usual, here's the reminder that Datashat's Businessfunk series is king of energetic work music: http://datassette.net/businessfunk/

That is nice to see and honestly probably what you'd be after in most cases, given the fact that you'd be developing locally anyways.
It's implemented in the application, it's not a feature of SQLite, but its very simple and robust - when a record is created/updated/deleted I'm broadcasting the change to all subscribers that are allowed to receive it (the access control is based on the colleciton's list and view rules).

> Sometimes CSV files themselves are ambiguous because they don't use any quoting so you end up with some lines that have more columns than others, and require manual repair line-by-line by a human.

It's wild that we haven't just started using unicode and line/group separator characters for tabular data instead of csv/tsv. Whoever decided to use a common semantic character as syntax is an evil, devious bastard.

That said, there is one thing I like about CSV and similar formats: they are inherently tabular. You don't have to worry about someone adding sub-objects to your JSON (or replacing a primitive field with an object/array). Extra columns are brainless to add or process, but converting sub-data to a line is not.
I disagree - I value attitude over knowledge, but there's a baseline on both sides. If you don't hit the baseline of competency, no amount of attitude will make up for it, and vice versa, however given a choice between two people who are competent, and one has the right attitude I'd choose the attitude every time.
I have no idea about any of these things, but running memory bus via PCI-e sounds like a major regression in terms of power usage. Also.. what about latency? I mean, having all your RAM pooled into one coherent logical space sounds neat on paper until you realise that now you have to deal with a non-trivial NUMA architecture with unpredictable performance hits.

I'm sure that this technology will have it's place for RAM in certain markets, but high-performance computing seems to prefer ultra-wide memory interfaces with energy efficient RAM.
No good option for 720p TV series though that never got a blu ray release. DVDs with horrible interlacing are usually a pretty big downgrade compared to the source material and what is available for streaming and rips thereof.
> Nuclear power promised "too cheap to meter", I'm not going to believe the same promise from renewables.

Of course, this is fair. But there are fields where technology advances are so effective that meeting past needs is unmeasurably cheap.

For example, telephone calls are now too cheap to meter.
I have a lot of YouTube videos on as background noise when doing chores. Mostly of the vaguely-informative entertainment variety. These have ubiquitous sponsor messages, usually for the same few companies. (PCBWay sponsors basically every electronics YouTuber out there, and NordVPN & Audible probably sponsor everyone else).

Normally I'd just skip straight past the sponsor message (and YouTube's new 'most replayed' feature enables this pretty effectively, as these videos all have a massive spike where the sponsored message ends), but if I'm doing chores I can't and am actually forced to listen to the ad. I have found that I've tuned in to the subtle changes in tone of voice between "content" and "ad", to the point where I don't even hear the messages any more; they're just a void in my short-term memory.
That's too general. What attitude and knowledge? Winning is what matters and for that you need both a good attitude and a lot of relevant knowledge and skills and talent and money of course. When selling things a good attitude and confidence is more important, when making important decisions knowledge is more important.
I saw someone posted the story, appreciated the comment/connection - going to read that one!
Since it's all generator expressions internally anyway, an intermediate doesn't actually add appreciable (any?) runtime overhead but does make the code more readable:

ys = (x.ComputeSomething() for x in xs)
result = [y for y in ys if y.isFoo and y.isBar]
I share your distaste for Meta/FB; however, if their investment to advance the 'meta-verse' leads them to invent technologies that end up being used in different contexts by other companies/industries (charting more of the uncharted map), then all the better.

Yikes, that's tough. In my city, the cold water pipes are buried close enough to the surface and the brutal sun that it comes out of the tap about 27-29c during the day.
This is a pretty good description of the motivation for OOP.

Maybe because quality doesn't matter to me as much?

And, movies this old in 4k HDR, that's a thing? I can understand the 4k part, that at least can be done by scanning the original film at a higher resolution, but HDR? Doesn't it need to be shot in HDR to begin with?
The irony is you will have to code a lot of javascript to make this ;)
Me as well. But unfortunately there is a trade off. For example I buy most my Nintendo Switch games in the physical form so my kids can trade them back and forth. But there have been times when my case full of games has gone missing and I panic about $600 in games last. Thankfully I have always found my games but I could see how easy it could be to lose a lot of money fast. With digital I just download the game any time I want even if I lose my switch just sign into the account on a new switch and get my stuff.
I mean, Thomas Dugdale is famous for resigning when he thought an honourable norm had been violated (he took responsibility for the maladministration of his officials, which is the essentially theoretical responsibility of a minister) but that was in 1954. And even in that case it turned out in retrospect that he was responsible for some of the maladministration himself.

Knifing ineffective leaders, yes - that is a reputation they still have. But I wouldn't see any of the recent resignations as anything other than opportunistic: they knew perfectly well that Johnson was an untrustworthy scoundrel well before they joined his government.
I don't really understand what you're saying. How does needing to book two things (transportation and entry ticket [0]) make for a more responsive market of people deciding to come/not? It seems like people would be more likely to get a deal on transportation and then pay higher congestion entry, or vice-versa.

Meanwhile, baking the entry fee into modes of transportation bundles it all in one ticket, letting people make one decision to go/no go. Each of those entry modes has a given (or at least designatable) capacity, and would have its own increasing price curve administered by the ticket seller. This has the added bonus of reserving capacity on each transportation mode for the locals traveling at the last minute.

[0] Hotel seems to bake in the entry ticket, which actually keeps the book-factor at the standard tourism "2" (transport+hotel), and only increases it to 2 for day trippers.
No, they don't deliberately omit the part of the quote. They are either unaware of that part of the quote or don't think it matters to the point they are making.

Yes, if you quote Knuth here (whether the short quote or a longer version) you are probably responding to someone whom you believe is engaged in premature optimization.

It remains that the person quoting Knuth isn't claiming that there isn't such a thing as justified optimization. As such, pointing to the context doesn't really add to the conversation. (Nor does a thoughtless quote of Knuth either)
I'm glad someone got the reference.
When it comes to being run, I don't think there are too many that provide actual services because it's a lot of work to keep the secrecy going for long.

Consider the story of Crypto AG, the most enduring and therefore successful example of this sort of exploit; crucial for putting it in place was that the founder happened to be friends since 20 years with a highly placed chief in the NSA and that's just not a scalable model. It also required convincing an independent, world renowned, crypto expert to completely compromise their work and serve as the authority that kept lesser experts from questioning the cooked algorithm, also not a terribly scalable thing.
We started in 2018 and most of our freelancers are in Eastern Europe, including Russia but now many of those who were in Russia (and equally Ukraine and Belarus) relocated to other countries for known reasons). Now we even have some freelancers from the US and LatAm, as well as Armenia, Georgia, Poland, Serbia etc etc

Or the same about YouTubers, I'm fascinated that my kids don't find the constant yelling and over emoting annoying or at least suspicious.
>Over the years I have heard here and there various versions of "Attitude is more important than knowledge" and each time I was furious, since I have invested a lot of time and money into acquiring knowledge. Alas I am starting to suspect that I was wrong all along.

Attitude is the right and wrong word. If you understand what this means, you get it. Someone who doesn't get it, can't figure it out because of the word attitude. this is the same problem as the 'people skills' or 'soft skills' sayings.

Want a book to jump start you? How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie(1936)

In terms of your primary question though. I imagine "attitude" and "knowledge" as but multiple sliders from many sliders/traits in your character sheet. Who is to say what is better or not.
They can only burn the honest validators stake on the softfork though. The main chain won't be impacted.
Won't surprise me at all if that hololens thing ultimately fails. I remember thinking at the time I first heard about it that it didn't seem like a value add. I was in the Army and I don't think anyone who hasn't humped around with a full gear kit understands how much those guys are already carrying. The plates, helmet, magazines, and camelbak are worth it, because they're keeping you alive. If you're gonna ask to have yet another 5 pound device mounted to that helmet, it better add a whole lot of value, and I don't see how it does. These wearable HUD devices will eventually become viable when they can be integrated with existing eye protection lenses and flight helmets without obstructing the view you already have or adding more weight, but they're gonna need to get a lot smaller before that happens. I'm thinking more along the lines of projecting an overlay onto a contact lens than the bulky headsets that exist today.

Edit: I should note that even the contact lens idea would fail for a lot of military applications. Ground troops aren't allowed to wear contacts due to sanitation issues. But they'd work well for rear guard headquarters staff and garrison maintenance techs.

I think they used that term on purpose. Non-pessimized in this case is the same as optimized, and I believe it's a reference to this video https://youtu.be/7YpFGkG-u1w
Sorry to be overly pedantic but India is many times bigger than California. It's around 40% of the size of the US.

That's not what he's talking about. Ruthlessness has its role in a robust ecosystem, but screwing with a company in a way that destroys its viability simply to trick some retail investors and pension funds into buying the worthless shell is not part of a robust ecosystem.
One could argue ten years ago for nuclear as an expensive (but still overall desirable) baseload technology, but I think the window on that argument has closed.
I agree that this is a rather dystopian idea.

Just when our smartphones need to become a device for our wellbeing, they are going to shovel even more ads through our face.

I'd be happy to pay for a crapware free smartphone, even if that meant a lot of more money.
Very nice, I thought it was a basic wrapper around SQLite but then realized it actually had more features then that, such as it's own admin dashboard. Then I realized you built multiple auth designs into the system, then I realized there was a javascript SDK to interact with it, then I found your beautiful documentation site, then I realized there is an actual product inspiring it's development (https://presentator.io/)

Each of these is another encouragement to use pocketbase. I went from "eh, I'll just keep my own wrapper" to "pocketbase has a lot of promise, I should try it"
In addition to the "about" page, the secret "episode zero" explains more about the philosophy behind the series. I have no idea about the science (or lack thereof) behind it, but it certainly matches my experience and my own sense of why I'm easily able to enter a state of flow while coding along to it.

Here's a transcript of what I can decipher from the robot voice:

--------------

(WARNING: PRETENTIOUSNESS)

While concentrating on complex tasks or creative work, we often feed ourselves streams of musical information in an attempt to occupy the parts of our minds that would otherwise be left relatively idle.

Without this, under prolonged periods of concentration, those other active brain centers create a sense of imbalance. It can often create distracting interjections from powerfully oblique thoughts about food, memories, desires, and emotions.

Using music in this way is nothing new, but for the wrong choices we can often find ourselves fighting against thematic intent to such a degree as to almost denigrate the music itself. We train ourselves to tune out ??? what we've chosen to be background noise.

The goal of this series is to provide listening experiences that can be fully appreciated for their artistic intent despite sometimes having only partial attention paid to them. That is not to say that the music is not worthy of exclusive attention, but that it contains themes or textures of a certain type that the problem solving brain centers won't have trouble processing and fully appreciating while attempting to code, write, or draw.

In other words, the music itself should not task the listener with too much problem solving ???. The musical ideas developed will cover large thematic and emotional distances, but rarely in such a short space of time as to sound dramatic. The back-and-forth motion between contemplation of the next stage of your work and the subsequent actions to realize it will necessarily create peaks and troughs in brain activity.

This series attempts to provide a soundtrack that can be fully appreciated at the level of entire ???. More importantly, the episodes have been lovingly crafted by people who have invested huge chunks of their lives finding all this beautiful stuff ???.
Medical billing is by a product of government mandates on insurance to cover everything + medicare and medicaid.

Make those programs go away, and CPT codes would eventually die.

It is not going to go away so unfortunately we need to learn to live life with it, and instead make it irrelevant, or niche, just like a ferrari is niche.

The best way to cope is to have an alternative to CPT coding, which means, alternative to insurance-based healthcare, which means, medicine between patients and doctors.

The only way to do that is that insurance and CPTs get so expensive that an alternative system is demanded by the market.. and people opt in (and regs allow for it). In effect, ferraris vs corolla. Corollas don't care about CPTs, Medical Billing, Eligibility, Copays, Coinsurance, or Authorizations.

The only way we can get more honda's is by having more independent doctors and less hospitals.

Hospitals create monopolies, independent doctors break monopolies with competition.
Has anyone tried uploading one of these pdfs to a website? I’m curious to know whether search engines successfully ocr and index stuff like this already.
I've seen Ryzen 5000 series laptops with premium displays. I wouldn't consider 4K to be the only metric for that, though. My current Ryzen 5900HS laptop (from 2021) gave me the option of a 1920x1200 display or 3840x2400 at a lower refresh rate. Both displays have good color support, HDR, etc, but I went for the 1920x1200 display model for the smoother experience.

When I came out of laser eye surgery, I ended up with exceptional vision. I'd have to pixel peep to see a difference between those 2 display options. I would have preferred something that met half way in the middle, but this DPI is fine for the display size. Outside of that, I get good color accuracy, good brightness with HDR, and the high refresh rate with adaptive sync makes for a very smooth experience.

Do we not consider features like that also premium?
How would you distribute tokens fairly? Give 1 to every person in the world? What about the next generation?

The article is dense, needlessly complexified, and impenetrable (requiring specific arts to read it), making the article useless.

This whole thread is brilliant - I really admire the one or two people that tried to summarise/translate sections. That said, I find something weird about people that write about imposter syndrome.

Something similar to imposter syndrome is normal for anyone who is highly skilled:

* To be highly skilled you are continuously improving you skills, by fixing the flaws in your work and fixing your own flaws, from the large to the small.

* To successfully fix flaws, you need to be able to recognise the flaws, in finer and finer detail, as you become more and more skilled. The irony is that while external parties can genuinely admire your work, you yourself can only see more and more that is wrong with your work.

* If you can’t see flaws, you don’t fix the flaws, and you don’t progress.

There is a gorgeous section of one interview with Jim Keller (a legendary/genius chip designer) where he talks about how he knew how deeply flawed his work is. He is really inspiring because he he is so insightful about his thought processes, and there is no entangled bullshit like the article we are commenting on. I also love this quote of his: "Imagine 99% of your thought process is protecting your self-conception, and 98% of that is wrong.". Quote is at @1:23:00 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb2tebYAaOA

The ethics of sleeping with your employees aside (which reflects poorly on both parties), Zilis has also been a public-facing Musk supporter. She defends Musk on Twitter and sure, fine, that’s a reasonable thing for you to do for your employer, especially if you work there for the cause. It’s another thing to bear your employer’s children while defending your employer of criticism and talking about his mission to save the human race. Big cult vibes.
What's make authorization hard, and how to get it right
I have written several scripts -- some throwaway, some not -- that use ed. If you know what you need to do to edit a file and need it automated, ed is just super handy. Here is a shell script that deletes all comments from a yaml file, then comments out a particular key:

g/^#.\*$/d

That doesn't work, unless 100% of miners accept your rule change forever (aka impossible). It would only take a single miner to keep mining using the old rules and this miner would reap the block reward / transaction fees. An old Bitcoin client would follow the chain created by this miner, wouldn't it?
There's really only one thing you need to do to be a successful entrepreneur. You need to sell stuff.

If you're good at selling, you spend a lot of time doing it, and you do it at a profit, your business will almost always succeed. You'll be making money which you can throw at any problems that come up.

This isn't to say that nothing else matters at all. For example if you have the skills and knowledge to create a great product, that's useful. But at most what it will do is amplify the results you get from the core activity of your business.

Which is to sell things. All the rest is useless if you don't sell.
I do the same thing with email. When people put a short sentence or something at the bottom of an email I often ignore it because it looks like a signature.
