Author here. I did work on Chromium but not on V8. There are definitely people here in this comments section who know a lot more than me about these topics!

It's true that JS engines already optimize code to use integer math extensively, without |0 annotations. There are situations where this is made difficult or impossible due to requirements of the language, and |0 can help in these situations.

There's a whole lot more to know about this topic for sure. My article would be a lot better with some examples where |0 gives a benefit and the corresponding IR. This post already took a lot more time to put together than I expected, and I didn't know if that many people would read it. Now that it hit HN, maybe I can justify the extra work.
As the sibling comment noted I meant an SDS.

I hang pictures on walls with a kit gun and fast drying kit usually.

You can buy kit (or glue) that could easily hold your bodyweight if applied to an area the size of your palm.

Of courses you're gluing it to the paint, but that's usually strongly bonded.

I'd drill into brick to put a structural anchor in, but not to hang a picture.
I live in the Boston area and commute by bike every day. Well, now every day that I actually go to the office. This is pretty good advice, though I prefer to have a separate rain/wind shell (usually Gore-Tex) and insulation layer. This just makes it a lat easier to adapt the layering to the weather.

There's a lot of options now in bike-friendly clothes that are suitable for office wear (except maybe in the most formal).

The company needs skilled people. So limiting the pool to whatever “normal” is to you reduces the scope of recruitment possibilities.

Does that mean a Brazilian company should hire someone who only speaks Urdu? Probably not.
No stuff. I'm beginning to wonder whether I want to even work in the tech sector anymore. Nothing but exploitation.
> I've heard stories of CEOs meeting with other companies where they spoke English and their German counterpart only answered in German, requiring someone who spoke both languages to translate for them, for example; this was such an alien concept to me that I laughed at the story, but I wouldn't ever want to work in such a situation!

There's a good reason for that. If you're CEO you do not want to have potential misunderstandings because your foreign language skill is not up to C1 level. You want to be able to express yourself fluently and have professional interpreter for your target language instead of your stammering, looking for right words and generally slowing your speech just because you're not fluent.
Presumably the eye-roll was about the manner with which you asked, conveying confusion or distress about the menu, and not the drip coffee order; coffee places are happy to serve you a drip coffee (it's easy for them).
Did that not happen after the last incident?
I spent 3ish years making these kinds of websites (specifically those click bait-y “Can you name these Canadian snack foods??” quiz sites). They generate _a lot_ more revenue. Like more than double.

Digital publishing’s main business model is paying as little as possible for 1 click and monetizing that click as much as possible on the other end. The sales “funnel” isn’t a funnel here, its just two steps “1. Show link to article . 2. Show ads.”

Now if you’re an organic heavy site like NFL.com, you get plenty of free clicks just by reposting articles to social media. Its more important to keep your brand strong with a couple of small, highly paid ad units.

But if you’re just an average publisher, you gotta literally pay for attention. It turns into a game of spending $1.00 for an ad on Facebook/Tabola/Outbrain/Snap/etc and trying to make $1.30 when they land on the page.

Long term bet IMO is still high quality organic content makes more profit, but you can still make a lot with 3-4 engineers and average-ish content.

For myself, ~3 liters per day will do it. I make herbal tea in a liter at a time and for a while I was doing that 2~3 per day.

Note, I use 1 pouch per liter and usually rotate between a half a dozen different teas, so I'm not overdosing anything.
> always punch your holes first

Anytime I'm drilling a lot of holes, screwing a lot of screws, or screwing any number of screws but with a high accuracy requirement, I pre-drill with a tapered bit (example: https://www.amazon.com/FTG-USA-Replacement-Countersink-Taper...). They're typically used with countersink bits, but that's not how I use them most often. They're just really good at nailing a hole location quickly and accurately. And for things like framing, they are good at setting pilots for toe screws which can sometimes otherwise be annoying to do.

It’s substantial enough, I could surely think of something costing $850 that I’d rather have than half these, if we take the other half to be “essential.”

My point is that it’s super easy to end up with this kind of expense, or much more, without subscribing to “much.”

Discovering that coffee could taste good (aka light roast) is what led me to become a slight coffee snob.

At the time I didn’t even know what light roast was, but I sure as hell liked it.

(Providing this anecdote since many others here are hating on light roast)
Not sure why you got downvoted. Yes, rolling brownouts are still very much a thing in California and probably will be for the foreseeable future: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/california-faces-...
> on the opposite team

How do you figure? Companies are made up of the people the government oppresses.

> then we both want the same thing: a legal and social environment where google cannot exist

Hardly. My argument is that in the absence of Google, the government would still be a mess, and in the absence of the Google datasets, they'd use others (online cycle trackers, credit card data, toll road records, the photos taken by people standing outside Planned Parenthoods and volunteered to the authorities).

Larry Brin's "The Transparent Society" makes the excellent case that with the surveillance genie out of the bottle, you don't fix the way it can be abused by trying to cram it back in. Rather, the solution may be more surveillance... The wives and mistresses of politicians seek abortions too...
It's interesting that this version is an edited version, and unclear when the changes occurred.

Ever since he came to power—till then, like nearly everyone, I had been deceived into thinking that he did not matter—I have reflected that I would certainly kill him if I could get within reach of him, but that I could feel no personal animosity. The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him.

Meritocracy is a terrible framework. All you're doing is conflating greed, willingness to exploit, luck, and scarcity of attributes with goodness. Noone deserves anything other than access to a healthy community and a share of those things we have enough of for everyone.

Capital (ie. the control over the physical commodities of the world including accumulated past labour whether assigned by markets, by political power, or by favour of those higher in a heirarchy) is agglomerative, and systems that don't redistribute it are pathologically broken. If your system assigns power and privilege to power, then you wind up with mentally ill power-seekers in control of everything. It should then be hardly surprising that they abuse the people under them and oppress and kill in order to get even more power.
While firefox is certainly improving, the javascript engine is a hog at times with lockups. Developer bar is much less friendly compared to chromium.
This is the kind of stuff I come to HN for.
I'm currently a home roaster, which I suppose is the direct opposite end of the spectrum from instant "bad" coffee. But I'm a long time drinker of coffee and had phases of everything from instant mixed with hot cocoa mix, to six teaspoons of sugar in diner coffee, to loving starbucks and to hating starbucks (to not caring when I need a cup of coffee). I've never been a coffee snob in the sense that I've never cared what other people drink and if you offer me a cup coffee in your house in the morning I'll happily drink it with no complaint even if it is as close to dirty dish water as can be while still being coffee.

The one thing I found slightly odd about this article from my perspective is that the majority of the anecdotes are about buying coffee and coffee as a commodity. My coffee takes about as long to make as instant and while roasting takes about 1 1/2 hours a month or so it's a bit of a wash time wise considering how often I used to have to run out to get coffee from the grocery store. Really good green beans are also very cheap, $6/lb for premium to $2/lb for frankly incredible bag ends. I only really buy new beans a few times a year.

I don't even consider myself a huge coffee nerd (I used to), I just like roasting, grinding and brewing my own coffee each morning because it's something I consume everyday that I can make as much from scratch as possible for a product that fundamentally depends on global trade. I feel about coffee the same way I do about grilling a hamburger in the evening for dinner. I suspect if I grilled hamburgers every day I'd get a meat grinder and just grind my own beef.

When I drink coffee in the morning, my daily brew is probably some of the best coffee I've ever had, but I don't spend much time thinking about it. Most of the time what I'm drinking in the morning is no different than the cup of instant described in the post, just something in the background of every breakfast while my wife and I chat about the world. But, we do sometimes pause and note that it is a really good cup of coffee.

The reason is that JavaScript is not compiled and needs the dependency’s source files to run, and those files need to be there when packaged.
Who knows what Google is collecting internally (especially with analytics). We'd need a whistleblower to tell us, so let's just pretend Google isn't fingerprinting devices or collecting device IDs. That still leaves them with your IP address, timestamps, and a list of the websites you visited. Does that make you feel better?
And for me, roughly 80% of my entries are feature length films, so 40 minutes is way, way too low. As long as Netflix avoids exposing actual watch time data per entry, this calculator is going to be very inaccurate.

>It shouldn't be this easy to use someone else's email address.

This though, seems hard. I don't think this is a "security" thing per se (though I dearly wish there was a modernized "email" system built with modern crypto from the ground up). But for any sort of communications at all it seems like there is an inherent tension between how low friction one wants for the world to communicate vs protection. Like, there is nothing stopping anyone from doing a pure whitelist system for email right now. I even do in fact do that for a few accounts like specific ones for client contacts, only active client addresses will be accepted everything else is blackholed. Those obviously receive zero spam or misuse of any kind [0]. But obviously the tradeoff for that is no new potential clients could ever "cold call" it either. One could imagine technical solutions like "only accept stranger email from accounts with a signed ID" or "vouched for by known address" (ie, WoT) or "only address with a signed time token >N from providers X, Y or Z", or some kind of challenge/response, but all would have privacy tradeoffs, complexity, and still wouldn't inherently do anything about honest mistakes.

We could have more powerful options for this, but it'd still involve subjective tradeoffs between how open to new communications one wants to be vs cutting down on noise. No one right answer there.

Well, now we're just getting May data and maybe June data. So that would be conceptions starting in August 2021. Here's a really lame screen capture of a visualization I just made with the CDC data. The August time frame is where we're passing 50% of the 25-39 year-olds getting vaccinated. So that would start to show up in the May 2022 birth data.

In general, the system supports perseverance over any sort of ostensible values like veracity or brevity.

I think this is what OP finds frustrating.

There may be a way to get truth in the end, but it's often more work than many people are willing to provide. Especially since most edit wars are so much smaller in attention than something like the Azov Battalion.
It's actually kind of funny, because I've noticed that there is one little coffee subculture in America that is big on dark roasts -- you'll find a pretty decent variety of dark roasts at the right-wing-political coffee roasteries. I'm not sure how we turned coffee roast level into a partisan political issue, but somehow we did.

Here's how a browser could counteract this privacy-busting measure:

When the user clicks one of these links, the browser could open it in a headless tab and wait for the URL to change to a non-facebook URL. The browser then remembers that URL, closes the headless tab, and navigates to the underlying URL with tracking parameters stripped.
I had some person's client email me regularly for years, which I ignored.

One day I decided to take action and sent a expletive filled email to them telling them that I was not the person they thought I was and to stop emailing me.

They then sent me an email telling me I was fired.

I like your sunk cost fallacy framing.

Munro Assoc's teardowns and analysis suggest that Tesla both innovates and increments at an astonishing clip. Tesla makes plenty of mistakes, for sure. Often existential. Like attempting fully automated manufacturing. But somehow they manage to pivot.

One notable exception, that I'm aware of, is Telsa's full self driving car effort, especially without LIDAR. That one baffles me. So stubborn. While it might have been about cost at some point, expense and risk hasn't deterred Tesla's other audacious moon shots. Like investing in the gigapress to make huge castings. Total game changer.

Tesla's AI team was recently sacked. I'd love to know the inside baseball. Does it signal a change in strategy? Were they pushing back too hard, like maybe insisting on adopting LIDAR? Maybe Musk just wanted a fresh team for fresh start?

I think the reason would be very revealing.

Like you, I also have little interest in cars. But I'm junkie for all the process, improvement, Peter Drucker, Edward Deming type stuff. And right now that means trying to figure out what TMSC, Apple, Haier, Tesla, and SpaceX are doing.

I don't care if Musk is a genius, poseur, whatever. If I did care, regardless of his past actions, I'd worry about his escalating self-destructive behavior sabotaging Tesla and SpaceX going forward.

Musk very obviously has to live right on the edge of chaos, always has to double down.

Musk's compulsion sorta reminds me of cyclist Graeme Obree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Obree The way I heard it; part of Obree's internal drive, beyond all ration limits, was he truly believed he'd die if he didn't succeed. Literally racing for his life.

From a very far away, I wonder if Musk's mania is like Obree's in some ways.

> I'm all for good documentation, but why embed it in the source code? Why not have good documentation files that stand alone?

It usually ends up out of sync with the code almost immediately. And there is a very good chance of the documentation being lost, buried in some some enterprise document management system. Sometimes I feel like Gandalf reading through stacks of scrolls trying to find thousand year old references to magical rings.
Orwell's writing is such a palate cleanser compared to (say) the continental philosophers of not very long after him.

You probably say that because you don't like the slightly harsh, bitter taste of dark roast coffee and prefer the subtle fruity notes and aroma you can get in lighter roast. I, for one, love the harsher, bitter style. Same reason I eat 90% dark chocolate. De gustibus non est disputandum.
I've read, the Battle of Britan can indeed be called a failed attempt to conquer Britan. Althouhg not ended with a peace treaty, wikipedia even says: "Hitler believed that the United Kingdom's refusal to end the war was based on the hope that the United States and the Soviet Union would enter the war against Germany sooner or later." - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

So I am not sure it is really "out of the question".

Overall, the Orwell's sentence is not very insightful, imho.
The series "As I please" is very good.
Surprisingly, Zack Braff is actually a very, very funny physical comedian. I was watching some episodes of scrubs last week and it’s surprising how much he leans on physical comedy.
This is true in theory, but in practice it makes little difference.

When California has increased demand, so do all the states it's connected to. Hence the rolling blackouts a couple years ago and more are expected for this summer.
This was not immediately clear to me either. It seems to require date metadata inside the post.

None of this is news, you can read about all of this in analysis pieces on the war in Ukraine, in many news sources. I understand that this guy is a Russian dissident of some sort, but to take this breathless tone is a bit much.

About $0.90 per 250mL cup. I have multiple coffee subscriptions- I get a pretty good deal on on a monthly order that ends up costing $13 per 12oz bag. Then I regularly buy one-offs that average around $20 per 12oz bag.
While I don’t share the same perspective, I see what you mean. All fair. There was some real depth behind that “duh” ;)
1) Lists uses a plain text specification for creating lists. We could have built it using markdown but we wanted something extremely simple but readable as plain text. So there are subtle differences. Otherwise, the underlying tech is the same.

2) There is no way to just paste in pastes.sh. The idea behind it is you don't need to leave the terminal to generate a paste to share. There are alternative pastebins that do something similar but they require memorizing curl with authentication tokens and such.

It’s a matter of personal taste. Nevertheless I would have told my 30 year old self to buy these.

5 dress shirts in white and shades of blue. Buy the pricey ones from a department store. They are worth it. You want a blend of cotton and the latest artificial fabric. They make the shirts last forever. For casual Fridays, replace the dress shirt with a T shirt.

Buy 5 pairs of dress pants in shades of black and blue. You want blends of wool and the latest artificial fabric. You don’t need name brand for pants. Whatever looks good to you.

Buy two pairs of dress shoes. Look for the ones that give your feet support and look not too bad.

Buy 5 pairs of merino wool dress socks. I like the Vermont Darn Tough with their lifetime guarantee.

Buy a pocketable rain jacket that you can shove in your backpack. I like the Columbia brand.

Buy three Uniqlo heattech undershirts to keep out the NY winter.

Buy a black wool classic trench coat for the winter. They look classy, keep out the rain, and last forever. I had one for 20 years before I had to replace it.
