I do, we just disagree on this topic.

The same things were said of California!

When my dads family grew up in the 1950s, the allure of buying a cheap bungalow in a lemon farm outside LA felt like paradise…

It's not about practicality, most of my day jobs relied on my knowledge of POSIX :-)

It's about intellectual dishonesty, regularly complaining about Windows things from a very shallow perspective that would not be tolerated of POSIX. An "argument from ignorance", if you will.
Unraveling the Deep Learning Reproducibility Crisis
Class D amplifiers typically run direct off battery voltage in portable systems - although sometimes you go for a 2S or 3S or 4S design for more volts and more power output for a fixed impedance speaker. The controller chip compensates for any sag in the supply voltage.
Apple had an internal project of OSX running on x86 (amd64?) for a while before they got serious about it.

It's less likely that they have an internal ARM/Mx Linux project though. Doesn't serve any known purpose that I'm aware of.
Clojure has built-in macros and functions that allow you to do similar composition - without having to name arguments.

One of them is to use the threading macros (-> value fun1 fun2), and another one is to use the comp function. Both will require you to name arguments for anonymous functions, but this is likely not an issue as you have even better ways to get a lambda like using partial, comp itself or other higher level functions.
through its A64 only (no T32 neither A32) which cuts out a lot of legacy instructions/instruction variants.

Doing the same for x86_64 would be a bit like no 16bit and 32bit specific machine instructions/instruction variants, no support for legacy bios things etc.
But that "change" didn't persist. Another explanation is just that hewas an emerging talent, then he seemed to have done the thing mathematicians often do where he settled down to flesh out the brilliant ideas he'd already had, but then it became clear he was still producing innovative output!
I've usually seen this quote as a meme applied to military power, usually accompanied by imagery of roman legionnaires or such. As far as I understand, the original quote is coming from a post-apocalyptic novel, so I doubt the context is supposed to be everyday life.

Even so, regardless of other context, the general reality is that wealth and power beget wealth and power. Poor people (or societies) have a much much smaller chance of becoming wealthy than people who start wealthy have of maintaining their wealth.

I would agree that it those extraordinarily few people who manage to ascend the social latter are probably universally very strong people. But there are many times more people who could be considered weak that nevertheless preserve their wealth and status than there are strong people who improve their own. This applies both at an individual level as well as a group and societal level.
Yep, all laptops I have used (Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, HP) have their touchpad connected over I²C.
Additional fun fact: the Italian subtitle is not "the psychology of everyday things" (which in itself is different from the original, since that one mentions "design") but "the psychopathology of everyday things", which is a reference to Freud's "the psychopatology of everyday life"
The problem with that increase since the fifties is that it's mostly not 'real' forest but plantations, which are their own kind of desert. I don't know if you've ever tried to venture into one but.. it's not fun. Very dense. Very little of nature about them.
Well the weird part here is it's separated to white and everyone else

It is not healthy competition only for the Apple software team ... it is competition for every hardware manufacturer.
Vendors must boost their game if they brand themselves as decent Linux supporters, and Apple provides premium hardware which is also usable by Linux systems.
Before Apple Silicon days, the primary motivation to buy Apple devices was the software side, but now the hardware has gone to the next level, and buying for the hardware alone is tempting.

- Does the time spent writing feels worth it to you?

Yes. Writing about my life and let people know it is pretty cool.

- Did it help to get noticed/find jobs or other oppotunities?

Maybe not right now, but it has helped me gather a very small group of people who is interested in my work.

- Do you learn something new from it?

Perhaps not much, but writing and sharing it makes the entire thing worth it IMO.

> Yet I can't bare it. I can't bare the devs that go out of their way to work weekends without being asked, I can't bare the endless meetings, constant micromanagement, bringing the stress home to my family.

This is something I screen for very carefully when interviewing. It took me almost a year to find a job after I was laid off in February 2020; but it was worth it. I really love my current job.

That being said: All jobs have ups and downs; including the best ones.
That adage is honestly just a way to call somebody soft.
That's the most commonly discussed form. There are others as in https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/ageism
Unless you have a private jet your spending habits can’t possibly make a difference.

The only way to make a real change would be to correct the incentives. This can be done via legislation & policy but an individual can’t do it alone. I suppose an individual could change the incentives for one or two companies (e.g. violence against a decision maker) but it wouldn’t change the economics of doing business.
Facebook tried both of those things.
In the section on Line Ends, https://code.sgo.to/typograms/ shows a box surrounded by arrows and a dot surrounded by arrows.

The arrows that point down (down and left, down, and down and right) are rendering the arrow heads as ascii V's.

That seems different than elsewhere on the page.

I recommend to tell that manager to learn about how people can be motivated, because yeah, deadlines are one kind of motivation, but there are a huge amount of people who responds much better to other kind of motivations.
> because we know that education, which can be monetized, has far greater effect anyway

Does it, though? No matter how hard scientists try (and do they try...), they cannot prove that education causally drives increase in fluid intelligence (g). At best it's crystallized intelligence, which is not the same.

The research paints a different reality: education is about sorting, networking and acquiring crystallized knowledge.

If one really seeks to find a way to raise g, one has to search elsewhere.
Does anyone else find it weird that this site absolutely fails to mention Stripe? The word is not in the article, and the logo is not included.

Not alleging anything here but a bit curious -- I can't imagine having a discussion of payment providers without mentioning Stripe.

I wouldn't be surprised, but are they just about as close to perfection as it gets on the fraud/security front?
Lol on animosity - now a days merely stating facts implies animosity. Also, another way to think about it is that there's zero possibility that anyone at Apple is spending any time working to make hardware designs that are friendly to alternative OSes. Those are both effectively the same things.

Also since you might have take this personally - I wanted to clarify that my comment mostly is a reflection of wasted potential for the M* hardware - making it friendly to alt OSes would vastly improve the hardware's utility without hurting Apple. (If you are to believe most HNers they are a H/W company that is not interested in selling your personal data - so it should be in their financial interest if alt OSes sell more of their hardware.)
A few of my articles got posted on HN or in technical circles, but other than that the only rewards was to write the material in the first place - it helps organize thoughts.
Every job I've seen like that wants a domain expert who can program, not a programmer who may know a bit about the domain.

I dissagree: he hates his job, that is what is producing the stress in the first place.

Otherwise he'd be happy keeping a job and having the weekends for his own projects.

But this is obviously not the case.
I don't think of ideology as the right way to look at this, Soviet ideology was very much pro progress and pro labor saving devices. But in any organization bosses often don't like to have the number of people under their command reduced. This is just as true in corporations and government departments as it was in the USSR. But in capitalism you have market competition fighting against this tendency, and in democracy you have the opposition party looking for waste to complain about. So while it still happens it doesn't tend to get entirely out of hand the way it did in the USSR.
Will do, thank you.

It took me many years to finaly come to the deep realization that sitting down by yourself and brutaly examining my own problems that the mind generates is the only way forward.

The amount of resistance I felt to this was enourmous.

I escaped by trying to browse internet, read books etc... for way too many years.

Listening to 20hours+ of Krishnamurti's talk was what finally made me realize that there really is no other way that to examine what is inside of yourself.

And you will not find solutions to your "mind problems" on the internet or in books, only in your own mind, which is done by sitting alone, quitly and observing the mind precisely.
I haven't been back for a while, but I remember seeing a few little geometrically simple islands of thick woodland in a sea of farmland. So it's mostly that? Shame
DRAM thermal issues reach crisis point
Please allow your customers to downgrade to an earlier firmware.

Bugs happen, and that's okay. However, users need the ability to roll back to a working configuration, so they can use the product as they bought it instead of a different one which was swapped in later.
What I'm reading in the parent post is an assertion that any verbosity that's simply replacing a word with a weird symbol (that's going to be spoken or thought of as a word anyway) is not true verbosity but just an illusion of it.

Some languages express the same thing with more or less concepts, and more or less explicit complexity, and that is a true difference in verbosity, but symbol-vs-word is just a superficial difference that can and should be ignored for a useful comparison.
By this token, the whole of mathematics is an illusory construct. Despite that, it can be rather useful.

Same with self: it's not something that physically exists, it's a mental construct that can be useful or not, which can be amended and replaced in its position, taken apart, etc.

On one hand, the self is a bit uncomfortable to research and take apart because it's right inside "you" and is a part of the inside, but on the other hand it's extra convenient to study because it's always available.

I have been playing with the idea to use its API for my personal finance but the API with MFA is not so simple. At least not simple enough for me to spend much time for writing a customized interface. So I am still using their web interface which works well for my personal needs.
Yes, I've been blogging for over 11 years.

No one has ever wanted to hire me because of it.

Yes, I have learned things from it. Sometimes I like to experiment with web features that I don't or can't at work. Over the past 5 years, I've been carefully considering what I write in blog posts, and it has forced me to research and reflect more on what I write. Even though it's mostly notes and thoughts on whatever videogame I've just finished playing, I think that blogging has improved my writing overall, from work emails to HN comments.

Would this tie up your phone and network?

Will it be a pain once in 3 years when I change my phone?

Because for my carrier switching from the physical sim to an e-sim isn't straightforward. I'm wondering how switching e-sims across phones might be.

> ESIMs even let you have two phone numbers on your phone at the same time

Hasn't dual-sim phones been a thing since forever? (At least in Android devices).

Also, at the moment it seems to be the only way to get two carriers going on iPhone (one e-sim and one physical sim / multiple e-sims?).

> But when you want to change phones or switch service providers, SIMs can be cumbersome. Anyone who’s hunted for a tool to open the SIM tray (a skinny paper clip, for instance) knows what a pain that can be.

That makes it sound more difficult that it actually is. You only just have to push a pin through a hole.

If you're worried, buy a whole stack of those push-pins from Amazon. It's cheap.
Sounds like an Aerobie?

The inventor, when it was a new things years ago, submitted it to a Paper Airplane contest. The contests disqualified him because it was not an "Airplane".

He argued A) It s made of paper (Cardboard from a Pizza Box), B) it flew (for very long distances), therefore it is a Paper Airplane. QED

From experience I can tell you that A) They are attracted to trees, B) They swim like bricks (lost my first one in the first half hour to the local creek), C) They are very sensitive to thermal gradients. You can watch it ride up and over the finger tips of whomever you are playing with so it is just out of their reach. D) You need football size field, at a minimum, to paly with these.

Counter-anecdote: I'm working at a non-tech company (we build the in-house technical software that everyone else in the company uses) and the experience has been great. We deliver real and immediate value, our clients are our colleagues and there's a great emphasis on UX, user testing and what not as a result.

Yes, there are loads of other problems, especially on the technical side, because tech isn't the company's strong point (our processes, especially revolving around the DB and deployment, are quite a mess) but the right things are in place that make me enjoy my job.

It does depend why you want to do it and what you are posting.

If it is just opinions about stuff, probably not worth the effort unless you are the top of your field and your opinions are worth something (mine aren't!)

If you want to get noticed, it might help but in general I think that only happens if you have a niche. I got invited to speak at two dev conferences and part of that was because of my blog.

If you are blogging things that took you time to find out then that probably means other people will also struggle so your blog post can save them lots of time. In these types of posts, I try to copy error messages exactly so people find articles through Google.

I think it is also useful to practice writing generally, a blog is as good as medium as any.
for me the astonishing part is not only the development speed, but also the eGPU support on Linux. That's something which just doesn't work on Mac OS and won't unless Apple decides to support third party hardware which isn't going to happen any time soon.

I hope over the next months there is a way to access eGPUs without giving up the macos installation, even if it is over some Asahi VM with direct access to the hardware somehow.
OoO windows do not need to do a perfect job. They just need to do a better job than the compiler at exposing memory parallelism, and that's usually the case.

> Creative work doesn't pay well ...

Of course, creative work does pay well. It just has to be creative in serving a commercial goal.

Corners were indeed cut.

Reproductive toxicity was not studied. At vaccine rollouts, reproductive toxicity was only studied on rats, then about a year later there was finally a single very narrow study of a few dozen women, after billions of doses were administered.

More generally, the control group was lost during the trials (they vaccinated the control group).

I don’t have time at the moment to dig up my sources again (I posted all the relevant studies in my previous comments over the past year), but I assume you won’t mind too much since you also didn’t provide evidence for your claim that corners weren’t cut.
We know statistically that economic depression, warfare, and disease don’t create toughness, resilience, etc. in society. The most economically depressed, war-torn, disease-ravaged countries are not known for being particularly resilient nor are they known for producing particularly wealthy subsequent generations.
I have a blog that doesn’t get that much traffic but is easy to find on Google (and I use the same pseudonym on GitHub which is work visible). I’d say it’s “off brand” (I’m supposed to be a business consultant on data wadda wadda wacca) but it’s kind of a negative I think.

I might as well spam it. asemic-horizon.com would you trust a digital transformation / AI project to the man in that blog.
The first couple of SSRI / SNRIs I was on made me pretty fuzzy. I'd get half way through something and forget what I was trying to do or the end would not match the beginning.

I'm not a full on Dev, but I script things and troubleshoot other peoples code some of the time and I really couldn't manage much on the first few medications I tried.

The annoying thing about those medicines is you really cannot tell whether a particular one will work for you, the only option is to take it, wait, up the dose, and if it works without side effects great and if not, gradually come back off. So it takes 3-6months to determine that medicine X is not appropriate and move on to spend the same time on medicine Y.

That said, many people get lucky and start on one that is fine for them. Best of luck.
I think your comment is purely based on propaganda.
The comment is false on so many levels. Maybe be it describes the 30's and Stalinism but nothing like that was from 50's and onward.
Not at all. For a small business, closing the monthly books is already a manual effort, so initiating an OFX transfer is trivial compared to everything else.

More importantly, can it invoice customers via email with a template?
Absolutely yes.

I write fairly deep ML performance tuning articles at https://paulbridger.com and the (many) hours I've spent on each article have been hugely worth it.

Many people reach out to me via this work, and when we talk they already see me as an expert or already want to work with me.

I need to blog more, thanks for the reminder.
This just sounds as a bad excuse ... a corrupted fw update apply with no checks? Not even a MD5? And magically reduces output power with no other side effects? Should sounds funny but this seems just another case of IoS (internet of sh*t) devices being retroactively crippled by the vendor.

Also, no way to skip the update? Shady as usual.

Also also: why the hell connect a speaker to the internet? Extra shady.

Also also also: Coincidentally, forcing this update and dropping the problem to the users seems cheaper than fixing the reported problems in the battery and charger. Shady as a black-hole now.
For sure, it also seems to me that at one point Google was still engaged in a game of cat and mouse, trying to detect and block cheaters, changing the algorithm but nowadays it seems they've given up?
I disagree.

I think there is no single reason for why long term plans don't work. It is more like you need to do this dozen things right for the plan to work. The longer the plan the more things you need to be doing right to be able to see through the plan.

Accomplishing short term plans can be done relatively easily. There is less chance something unexpected will happen that will throw your plan into disarray. You have a chance to "just focus and get it done". You can take on debt in order to accomplish the task.

The longer the plan, the better you have to be at dealing with various things that require you to have much wider view of whatever you are trying to accomplish.

For example, if your plan is to loose 3kg in one month, you can just do it pretty much on your own with little interference/inconvenience to your wife and kids.

Try loosing 30kg over course of a year and you start having many more problems that you might not appreciate before you took on the project. Maybe your family is unhappy with the change of the diet and your schedule? Maybe your wife is unhappy with your lower libido/irritability? If you want to keep your gains you need to learn to make your diet stick and change your eating habits, which is super hard.

In a company setting you might find that long term project might need you to rethink many more things like how do you keep people dedicated/motivated when it is hard to see the distant goal? How do you keep yourself motivated? How to deal with people leaving the project? How to deal with more urgent/short term project preempting the long term goal?
