I use an IDE for my day job (because when in Rome...) and I use Vim the rest of the time.

There genuinely are things to like about the IDE. But, they're fewer and further between than I'd anticipated. For example the debugger is more intuitive to work with. If I have no idea what's actually wrong, so that I'd be resorting to just poking around hoping I see something weird to investigate, this makes the IDE a better choice.

I expected several things to be nicer, or to be roughly the same but perhaps with a cute GUI that I'd ignore - but they were generally worse. Test infrastructure is worse: Just tell me what failed and how. Don't waste my time making some sort of chart, I'm not trying to impress some middle manager I have work to do. Revision control is worse: the IDE forgets which files are modified! Sometimes restarting it helps. Buggy software is annoying all the time, but buggy development software is awful.

Now, maybe JetBrains is amazing, I haven't used it. But I have used a famous IDE that got mentioned elsewhere in this HN discussion and it was... not good. Not so terrible that I told my boss I can't put up with it. But definitely not better than Vim.
you have a strong of faith in capitalism if you expect a market solution to these kind of ills, or if you think it's a few incremental reforms away from being back on-track as "correct" capitalism
I think as soon as you add a monetary value, people think something like "I don't need the $25, I'll just put it in the trash."

People are complaining about the current state of recycling, but I save up all my lithium batteries and pay to have them recycled every few years. You can't throw that shit away.
Im using it since it came out (16 GB ram, M1 Pro 10 core CPU - meaning: the middle one.), including React development - it is more than enough and a pleasure to work with. Docker is also much faster than on Intel based MBP 2015 15".
You’ve given me my opportunity to be a pedantic coffee snob… those don’t make espresso as they don’t generate enough pressure. But they do make fantastic coffee.
That doesn’t make code insecure, it’s just extremely powerful and very useful for compilers and optimizations even if wouldn’t be desired in a modern language for issues that gave nothing to do with security.
> You can't go infinitely deep anyway, because eventually the pressure will penetrate the seals.

This is actually the least useful reason why you can't go infinitely deep. For exploration you will basically always want to be near the bottom of the body of water because mid column is just extremely boring, so you will want to make sure that your pressure tolerance allows for that. We just haven't found any infinitely deep bodies of water yet.
"Your lack of well-developed critical thinking is not my problem, until it results in the imposition of your belief system onto my own daily life."
Or just ship two version, call one oxidationweasel or whatever, add your patches, continue using it for important stuff, and ship normal rust as rust, for people who are into that.
QuickJS compiled to WASM seems like a pretty nice way of getting a sandboxed js environment: https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten.

Curious if people have seen any other routes to doing it via WASM.
Lithium mining is horrible. Landfills are a problem. The more mining the more pollution. The more disposable lithium the more mining.
why he thinks the GDP per capital will be 10x higher

We'll, it's all somewhat pie in the sky predictions. But I don't think that's intended as an assumption, but rather an argued outcome predicted by the other assumptions and mechanics of his model (annual tonnes-per-capita of consumption of various classes of goods, $/T, etc).
Yes, I'm conflating them because they're the same basic concept - you think the group of people you consider yourself part of (your race, your nationality etc.) to be "better" than others, and anyone who belongs to a different one is assumed to be inferior in some way.

The Blacks and Hispanics that agree with Trump are just as racist as he is, so what?
Pocket has been acquired by Mozilla a few years ago.
Except that software is usually few devs, lots of users. Here we are all contributors to the climate. So even if we all pick something different from our neighbor, changes can be made. Typical broken reasoning arising from comparing the way world works to software development.
My philosophy is if you think they're wrong and you don't need those people, then they have poor judgement, and you're better off not working with them in that case, and in fact could beat them by pursuing similar goals while not using that strategy.

And if they're right, well then what's there to be upset about?
Hmmmm… actually you’re right! I was thinking that there’s going to be a single I/O interval between the end of the input buffer and the start of the output buffer, but now I realize that this means 2 x I/O interval latency between the input and output streams.
What would you like to see instead, everyone stick with WebGL? Expose Vulkan directly to the web with a "this is dangerous" prompt? Go with WebGPU+SPIRV, but have no Apple support?
In many countries, tobacco is very highly taxed (over 10£ for a pack in the UK). Some recent legislation made reusable vaporiser products hard to purchase and sell, limiting tank sizes, nicotine contents, etc, which opened the market for these.

Due to the highly taxed nature of nicotine products, the battery/circuitry cost is negligible if it helps getting around restrictions.
For many years I was against AdNauseam, as by my reckoning it would be counterproductive and just end up hurting the the most privacy and freedom oriented voices, but now that Facebook is upping the stakes it's starting to seem like a reasonable countermeasure.
There’s plenty of good content. I think people who say this are stuck in a very narrow comfort bubble. The kind of person who gets mad when a single show gets taken away, like The Office.

For example, just check out the best content from other countries. Should take you a while if you have a healthy life balance and don’t watch netflix all day.
Thanks for posting this. I have worked on non critical flight software and thought that this philosophy might work well.

I wonder how easy the certification is for such software? For work I might have to write Do178 code in the future.
Hasn't value been created by the fact someone got a service in exchange for money? Like I don't see how 1Password doesn't create value just because free spreadsheet tools exist. Similarly, with your example, if you compose a lousy song, but people enjoy it enough to spend money on it over the other songs on the market, you've created value.
That's too charitable. It's a rhetorical tool that Orwell uses to invoke a sort of comradery with the reader because it lends itself to the largely anti-establishment points he tried to get across. It's the old Etonian going "I'm one of you guys" which has a long tradition in British political rhetoric.
I think I know what you mean! Bad coffee from a jug or thermos flask is somehow more exotic and novel than the good coffee I have every day.
Why not make it available to hobbyists so that hobbyists can shove all the compilers into it.

This isn't a chicken-or-egg dilemma there.
Maybe you mean they have more cultural inclination?
Perhaps we wouldn't have had the news, pretending that there was no effect, and if there was, correlation is not causation, and then saying as little as 5 months ago that there may be an effect but that any effects on menstruation only lasted one day at the most [1]. Just be honest - dishonesty like this breeds anti-vaxxers.

Not taken the vax if your health and age profile didn't merit it, given the unknown unknowns and lack of long term testing, which many people highlighted endlessly for the past year or so.

Public concessions exactly to your point that long term testing takes time, and assertions to the contrary that tere are no risks of x, y, z were blatant sophistry intended to silence legitimate criticism. These vaccines were mandated at threat of loss of careers for crying out loud...people are still getting fired for not taking them long after covid is any sort threat whatsoever or where there can be plausible deniability about claims the vaccines actually prevent contracting covid etc.

> Accidental discharge of gun is a frequent cause of death in the wild, wild united states of guns.

It actually ain't; it's only about 500 a year (out of about 200,000 total accidental deaths). To put that in perspective, falling and car accidents each account for about 40,000, and poisoning accounts for 80,000.
Most of that £20 goes to cover the telephone line rental, it's not directly comparable to prices for fiber.
There already is a custom programming language for LED lights. It's called E1.31, and there are open source programs that exist to program in it (one of the most popular is called Xlights). It's what most people use to make their programable Christmas lights shows, and it also is the same protocol used in stage lighting.
The Firefox implementation is clunky. If they fixed that then I'd readily switch to FF.
Depends. I used to have close to zero software subscriptions, but now I earn a little more and I can afford to pay for some software even if I technically could do without paid version - e.g. Duolingo, Evernote, Feedly, etc. I do it as a conscious effort to support apps I use - in part so that people that can't afford it still could use the free versions, and so that they continue to exist in general. From pure financial optimization angle, I am likely wasting my money. But I think it makes more likely the apps that I use survive and stay alive, which IMHO is worth a small investment even if I do not use too much of the paid features.
Is going to school part of the plan or is this a self taught push your way into the industry with a goal of a high salary goal?

Going for a pmp scrum master might be an easy transition.

Its absurd to require vaccination but not accept actual infection as such. Surviving an actual infection offers better immunity than the vaccine. The failure to ack this is evidence IMHO of an agenda.

What is a battery fire like in an ammo box? I imagine flames shooting up, catching the ceiling on fire, and the bottom getting so hot that it catches the shelf on fire.

I made a lithium battery pack for amateur radio once. I was scared of it for a while and charged it in my fireplace. If it catches on fire, well, that's the place, right? (They were A123 cells though. Not as firey as other chemistries.)
Of course. The M1 is already lightyears ahead of any kind of other past Macbook model. I have the Air M1 (that doesnt even have active cooling) and it's blazingly fast in anything I throw at it.

Granted, maybe it's a valid consideration for video editors and the like, but you won't notice significant differences in our line of work.
This is how I use the ever-growing video streaming landscape. As soon as there are a few shows I want to watch on one particular platform, pay for a month of that, cancel immediately. Watch the shows during the month, maybe extend for another one if necessary. Then at some point later do the same with another service - Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, all of 'em.
Sure, why not? Again, a distinction without much of a difference when arguing what has and hasn’t been legal in England (proper, since most of North America WAS England/GB for 150 years) for 900 years. Sharecropping and multiple acts of genocide look pretty similar.
I feel like if Facebook didn't have a history of playing unethical hardball then people would feel more guilty about returning the favor?
The words “communism” and “socialism” have particularly slippery modern meanings - they depend where you are internationally, in time, and your partisanship. I have read a lot of what he wrote, and I am still unsure what he exactly meant by socialism. I find his essay ‘On Nationalism’ difficult to follow, although very interesting.

I love all his writings about his own experiences, because his observations are so exceptionally well written, with the foreignness of early last century, plus the familiarity of his daily life. He then often writes later in those books about his political thoughts, which can be a bit more difficult to read e.g. Road to Wigan Pier.
I don't think so. It was all separate historically up until 1960s, but then gradually updated to continuous as budgets allow.

Thing is, even aside from passenger comfort, you also get about 5% less friction from CWR, which translates to more fuel efficiency. And 5% might not sound like much, but when most freight cargo goes by train, and distances are in thousands of kilometers, it adds up pretty fast. Ditto for reduced maintenance on the tracks themselves, which is especially handy for those long tracks going through largely empty areas.
Is it ethical to give a product away for free in order to profit off ever-increasing surveillance?

Would it be fair to proposal an ethical position of something like "if you won't offer your product in a way that uses my information ethically than I have the right to safeguard my information"? Yes, we could all refuse to use facebook, and only use an ethical (even possibly paid!) alternative, but in the race-to-the-bottom everyone-else-ruins-it-for-everyone-else real-world we live in, maybe there is a lot more gray area than you are proposing.

In my view the "ever-increasing" aspect of FB's usage of data is particularly relevant in this case. I deleted my account because I'm aware of it. It's not easy to make everyone else aware of it, or understand the full implications, though. And, of course, FB tracks even those of us who don't have accounts.
Anyone has any recommendations for self-hosted mind mapping software?
I recommend the Primitive Technology channel for this! He uses almost all of these to some extent.
I've had standing desk for a while and still no routine. I just alternate pretty regularly for what feels good.

If I'm feeling a little restless, I stand. If I'm a little tired, I sit.

There are some great, thin $3-400 treadmills that are light that can be used for walking as well for those interested.
Digital only would be fun, but I would expect the same level of quality rather than a mess of single articles.
I've tried this a few times with another coworker. I don't know. It just didn't quite work for either of us. The connection didn't seem as stable. There's more noise even if neither of us was walking in a particularly noisy place. Voice only without video changes the dynamic. It's not possible to write down notes or look something up relevant to the conversation.

When we're in the same physical location, we do walking 1:1s and they work great. I'm not quite sure what exactly is different about them over Zoom or the phone.

Hetzner storage is not VPS, for what it's worth; it's a restricted ssh environment that won't do much beyond storage. About the same category of offering as rsync.net, I'd say?
Yeah but then they are asking you to do something, rather than you asking them.

I'm a big believer in walking, but not been doing meetings that way. It's great that works for you, and I'll just mention some thoughts for other people to consider as they experiment with it.

My current startup hasn't had good luck with WHF and cross-site meetings using smartphones when someone is outdoors. Even just within the US, when someone is on their smartphone, MS Teams (mandated) or their network connectivity means their audio often gets choppy, they don't seem to be as engaged, etc. It's not as reliable audio as, say, a landline conference call from decades ago.

I think the missing whiteboard or shared screen would also be a problem in practice for me. The last 1:1 that I was in, Fri, for example, I did an impromptu screenshare of a visual that was important to what we were discussing, and that's very common.

Also, in that same example meeting, I took notes, and then afterwards updated a few Jira Tasks based the new information. My memory is fine, and I probably didn't need the notes that time, but I don't always know at the start of a meeting whether I'll need to take notes, nor how big the notes will be, nor whether the notes will be useful, nor whether it'll be worth spending time after distilling useful info into Jira/docs/comms, or just (I do this sometimes) copy&pasting the semi-useful raw notes directly into a Jira comment and moving on.
There’s a reason for that! Standard dB meters that most YouTubers have easy access to simply aren’t accurate enough for guns, even suppressed ones.
When I tried it a few years ago on iphone, it would constantly crash and I’d lose all my tabs. I wanted sync between mobile and desktop so needed to switch to Chrome. Any idea if it has gotten better?
I don't think that's quite fair. You run into that sort of problem with traditional software solutions as well, except sometimes even worse because business logic is deep in some esoteric codebase/language with all sorts of unclear dependencies. And instead of being able to ask your buddy in the accounting department to take a look, you need someone who knows Java or Python or whatever, you need a literal software engineer.

I've never been at a company that didn't have at least one Excel guru (well okay, I have. It was a tech startup!). The nice thing about Excel is that it's the same everywhere, widely used, and Well Understood, even if your particular spreadsheet isn't. Personally I would rather be handed a messy spreadsheet than a messy 5k LoC Python codebase.
I think intentions should be considered when describing something as violence in a sport.

I assume you are unfamiliar with "head hunting?" If so, it's where a team or player intentionally tries to injury the better player(s) on the opposing team in order to secure a competitive advantage.

Here are some examples of what I would consider "violence" in hockey, some of which, could be argued to be head hunting:

Airto Moreira is one of the great percussionists of the world, famous for his collaboration with US jazz legends like Miles Davis and Chick Corea. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airto_Moreira for details about his important legacy. Now it is time to give back some of the love!
Yeah if you need something ready for prod by a literal next month or something Temporal definitely isn't it as the API isn't locked yet.

Don't forget WASM doesn't provide direct access to any OS time APIs (timezone info, current time, regional time change modifications) so the solution will still basically boil down to "call Date() and polyfill a better library" except now you have extra code to ferry the data back and forth to do a few string and math ops. Unless the use case is processing very large datetime datasets in one call the JS<->WASM function call overhead for all of this will probably take the majority of the execution time.

Not to mention after you get all of this solved, tested, and deployed you know as soon as Chrome starts shipping Temporal the cool custom solution becomes 50% slower for the average user despite all the effort because you didn't just use something like a Luxon which automatically updated to use Temporal on release. This may just be me being lazy though :p.
That would help with single-point-contact, but it doesn't help with "The Group". It would also be a problem with several of them who struggle to write physically because of arthritis and poor eyesight, but who have learned to use the FB app or the web interface on a laptop/desktop where the tech can help.

But they (most of them) don't know how to use email, despite my trying to coach and coax them through it multiple times. Their children or niblings have set them up on FB, taught them how to use it, and it's the only thing they use.

I do send a monthly letter to my mother's 97 year-old sister -- my aunt -- because she doesn't use a computer at all, and doesn't even use SMS. But she can't write back to me, so I rely on getting news from her via the phone calls I have with my mother.

Part of the problem is that these relatives (and pseudo-relatives, very close friends of my parents who were like aunts and uncles) have an relatively (pardon the pun) active group, posting photos and statuses (individually rarely, but as a group there's a post a day on average) which keeps the group connected and active. And they want to know what I'm doing.

The many-to-many aspect of FB really makes it a winner, along with the ease of posting, reading, and staying in touch with the group as a whole. As a platform for capabilities it's genuinely fantastic. It's the underlying cesspit of scumminess that's the problem.

Hope that answers your question.
That state has several names: "Flow" or "In the Zone".

It's when you have a whole, interlocking bunch of ideas in your head at once and can visualise how they work together. It often takes an hour or more to reach that state. Sometimes many hours can pass 'in a flash' while in it.

I’ve settled on this German coffee (Dallmayr Prodomo): https://enjoybettercoffee.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/coffee-re...

It’s coffee for people who don’t like flavor. “A taste without creamer or sugar has an initial bitterness that immediately becomes smooth and gentle. With sugar and milk, it is the mildest coffee you may ever taste. In fact, the coffee is specially processed in order to remove any bitterness yet still keep the flavor of a fine European coffee.”
