I think it's just that we complain about Twitter Spaces every week. ;)

Technical issues aside, we're definitely not moving away from Twitter Spaces (and, more generally, social audio): it has allowed for very dynamic conversations and ones that include many more people. For those who are new to Oxide and Friends, I posted links to a few of my favorite episodes here about a month ago.[0]

HN title length limits make for strange bedfellows.
>SEO is part of the reason that traffic began being moved towards blogs and Q&A sites.

Exactly mirroring the decline in the quality of google results.

You want something specific with say 4 words in the query string, convincing google not to drop one of those in basically every result it returns giving you nothing but SEO spam is a lot more difficult than it should be. Tried googling for something you read last week following a link and now can't find again despite it being about something really esoteric?

So yeah you can work around some of the goog breakage with :allintext or putting a + in front of ever term or putting every term in "quotes" but yeah, at the stage where you're the audience for howtos are you doing that? Dunno.

Who is old enough to remember when google was /liked/? Seems like a long time ago now, huh?
I didn't play Mother Teresa. I walked, instead of checking out and letting everyone assume I'm doing my job. I think that's a much stronger signal than warming a chair.

My point is that there's a contradiction in this argument.

A work culture where everyone is held accountable is a culture of authoritarianism, blame and metrics gaming.

A work culture where everyone is expected to act like an adult and do their job even when nobody's watching with the red pen, is a work culture in which the least you can do to not get fired is exactly nothing.

Everyone can't "quiet quit" by any reasonable definition, as that amounts to doing nothing and when nothing is delivered nobody gets paid.

It does not compute.
Adblocker seem to do it on my side, not sure if ublock or pihole did it though.

The only thing worse than video tutorials are what they do to your YouTube recommendations.

I absolutely hate both with a passion, but having mentored a fair number of junior developers I respect that some people benefit from them.

It's the same thing with podcasts and audiobooks- I'm the type of person who is fully tuned in, or I am tuned out. Listening to either while driving is completely pointless for me.

Not because of volatility

It's because of fractional reserve and banks and governments colluding to print money out of thin air or just spend most of it.

Volatility is a different problem: I agree btc is not the solution, we need a political solution for that.

And maybe a currency backed by real things (not necessarily precious metals, common goods would represent the economy better). Either the bank has it and I can get it anytime or it's fraud.

Nim is a statically typed language that is syntactically close to Python and there are some attempts at integrating the two.
The energy used in recycling steel and processing it is likely far, far less than mining, purifying, refining, and chemically combining Lithium and the other chemicals needed to make an electric battery.

I drove through once; my feeling is that it takes a fair amount of guts to live in the desert-that desert, in the summertime. 120F+ is lethal to the unprepared who are out in in it for more than a brief period.
there’s a blas: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.07929.pdf https://github.com/spcl/FBLAS

here’s a tensor core that i wish was open: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3529650

opencores has plenty of cores you can rip code from: https://opencores.org/projects?expanded=Arithmetic%20core

most linear algebra is really easy to implement and so all the complexity is outside actual few lines that do the hard work. the rest is contingent on parts of the design that can’t be reused. i don’t think a mix and match library would be very helpful personally.

Citation actually not required because the result is trivial.

First, I’m not claiming that the disequilibrium point is anywhere specific, just that it exists.

Second, all you need to do to understand this is to consider the most extreme scenario: if the king has literally all the wealth in every form (all property, all money, all food, etc), and everyone else have literally nothing, how stable do you think the system is?
I will add Sunshine City in Ikebukuro to this list.
> Regulation

People, people. Why do you all expect regulation to work in the presence of corruption?

All regulations break down with high enough stakes. We are in this mess right now, because we made the mistake of thinking that regulations will be good enough to stop it.
Neither nickel, cooper or lithium are theoretically limited. There might be temporary shortfalls until new mines come online but there is plenty in the ground.

Lithium iron phosphate battery are already in mass production and will be a huge part of the EV industry going forward.

> iron-sulphide

Not sure what iron-sulphide has to do with anything. There are lots of competing chemistries. Sodium will likely have a large part in the market. LFP already is and has lots of room for improvement as well.

I prefer trains to cars too but that's no reason to make up stuff.
When people say Europe they don't understand it means so many countries, they just think of France, Italy and Germany.
A lot of walking would be eliminated too if you actually completely got rid of perpendicular intersections. You kind of need cars to stop sometimes to make it possible for people not in vehicles to get through safely.
I visited Slab City and the Salton sea with my family on a day trip from LA. It was a memorable experience, and I would recommend to anyone who is interested. We were inspired by this travelog [0], the history of the area is a cautionary tale.

> If it were true that somehow a crypto currency could hold its own in a collapsing economy

I am not sure why you are speaking in hypotheticals. The economy of lebanon did collapse. And if you were holding bitcoin, you'd be much better off than holding that local currency.

Economies collapse all the time, around the world. And because the coin is a global market, it is insolated from local collapse.

> it really doesn't matter what sort of currency you use

But it did matter! Just look at the current situation, in Lebanon right now. If you were holding the local currency, you'd be screwed. If you were holding a global currency, you'd be much better off.
It's very hard for me to reconcile scary headlines like this with the fact that living conditions for many people now are definitely far better than they were 1000 or even 100 years ago. The relative risks of different things may change over time but ultimately I think we are better off for all the positives these chemicals have given our lives. If anything, this sort of environmental alarmism is going to just increase the anti-science sentiment, the effects of which are already saw some effects of in the pandemic. After all, it's not a huge leap from "these chemicals are bad" to "these vaccines are bad".
Yeah, or he could just hold physical US$ or gold.
My list:

- The Plenitude - Rich Gold

Not a computing book with code but it taught me a lot about what can be done with computers, and that they are marvelous machines.

- Architecture of Symbolic Computers - Kogge

An ode to what could have been if RISC and x86 hadn't steamrolled the landscape.

- Thinking Forth - Leo Brodie

Forth is wild, this book is wild, it's really a different world. After multiple attempts over 25 years, I'm giving it another go this year and this time it is actually clicking.

- Malicious Cryptography: Exposing Cryptovirology - Adam Young, Moti Yung

This is way out of my league in terms of cryptography, but this fascinated me early in my career, and led me to implement one or the other algorithm. Very prescient in many ways.

- Patterns of Software - Richard Gabriel

Not directly about computing, but I got a lot of deep insights from this book. It also brought me to the next book:

- Notes on the synthesis of form - Christopher Alexander

This is not a computing book per se, but it goes to the core of system architecture. Even in its original field, this book is kind of wild.

- All Mathematica Guidebooks - Michael Trott

Mathematica is wild, these books are wild, they are old but still oh so inspiring.
I don’t agree that this is always the case, and I don’t even agree that Elon’s accumulation of wealth was particularly exploitative (in the pejorative sense).

I do agree that it often is the case with very wealthy people, and probably with most executives, who add little value relative to the wealth they are able to accumulate.
Thats just wrong. Land should be zoned for much higher density but if someone wants to buy land and build a single family home that should be fine too. The problem isnt the single family home, the problem is so many cities have 70% or more of their residential zoned single family.
I posted this comment in another thread:

I've maintained that everyone advocating for permanent remote work should reverse and advocate for office return.

Why? I've been traveling around the world. There are a ton of very talented, hardworking, and eager workers making 1/10th of what remote workers here make. Sooner or later, companies are going to figure out that they can get same, similar, or even better output from hiring workers outside of the US.

Once companies figure it out, there's no going back.

I predict that remote workers will want to return to the office very soon because of this threat.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32344204#32344629

Additional comments:

This is more relevant for software engineers. I believe remote work will eventually lead to a rapid decrease in software engineer salaries in the U.S. Just like how wealth has spread away from San Francisco & Silicon Valley, it'll be the same around the world. In my humble opinion, remote software engineers in the US should demand a return to office asap. You should be drafting an email to send to your tech CEO asking for more office work right now.

Previously, offshoring was happening but was mostly kept in check by having an office. Now that the office is gone or optional, executives should be salivating at hiring talented software developers for a fraction of the cost.

Someone will come along and say that "great engineers" will always be safe. True. But the vast majority are replaceable based on my experience working in Silicon Valley and my experience traveling to different countries and meeting local software developers.
I badly screwed up my cast iron pan by frying shredded meat with lots of blood (Korean BBQ).

However, I converted all non-metal stuff to pure carbon ash by heating the pan to 750 F with my 25 year old electric range. At this heat it was very uncomfortable to keep a flat palm hovering one foot over the pan for any period of time. But it cleared up very nicely after some smoke that I extracted with a dedicated kitchen fan. The ash was scraped off like dust. I wouldn't do this without an exhaust under any circumstances though.
If it could be done technically, setting a child's phone to receive only messages that include a valid ID would discourage abuse by making abuse traceable. The school would insist that all children's phones are set up this way so that there's no stigma attached to a particular child not receiving SMS or whatever.

But it's simpler to let the police handle the problem and determine whether it's harassment, or if it's a case of crybullying.

A school's not going to be able to stop bullying. But with message tracking devices in everyone's hand and cameras everywhere, the SCHOOL's problems are solvable without having to go into childrens' phones.

No need to downvote the parent, this really is an accurate representation of what the state television looks like in one of the European Union's democracies and how this disaster is being portrayed there. If you're in other parts of Europe, you may be unhappy with some of the media in your country as well, you may even think they're biased, but you're really not prepared for what TVP is these days.
Nickel is mostly produced in Indonesia and some pacific islands. Most growth of new nickel is in Indonesia. Its refined in China.

Lithium is mostly from Chile, Argentina and Australia but its mostly refined in China.

> You're hoping that some magic recycling process spins up over the next years to make Lithium sustainable, when it clearly isn't right now.

The amount of lithium even if 100% recycled isn't nearly enough to cover what is needed. We know how to recycle it, in fact we have far more recycling capability then we have material that we can recycle. Everybody invest in recycling but there is not much to actually recycle yet.
Assuming you could buy basics from an international market and somehow get them delivered to you at a reasonable price using said global currency, true. But how realistic is that?

It has to be a quite noticeable downhill for a car to net pick up energy at highway speed. Small downhills still require positive power consumption (to overcome rolling and aerodynamic drag).

Obviously, there’s a point at which a downslope will offer regen, but these are the slopes where a manual transmission car would pickup speed if placed into neutral.
I’m not sure the drying of a man-made lake quite qualifies as an environmental disaster, though the smell certainly isn’t pleasant. But it’s definitely not the largest environmental in California. That would be the destruction of millions of acres of wetlands in the Central Valley from the dry and vanished Tulare Lake northward. Next is the desertifying low Sierra as forests are replaced by chaparral and grasslands somewhat permanently. Third is the desertification of the Owens Valley. Fourth is air pollution which continues to be quite deadly. Fifth is DDT, which is mostly gone but still poses a risk in offshore birds near an undersea dumping ground.

Anyway Salton Sea doesn’t even crack the top five anthropogenic natural disasters in California.
Plus 1 for Hardcore History, I fall behind all my other podcasts every time a new 6 hour episode drops.
It's better to base these things on reason, rather than emotion.

What are the other consequences of removing fair use? How many journalists would be impacted? How would your ability to be informed be impacted? How might corporations abuse this to take down reviews or commentary on their products?
Why would a former US army sniper have interesting insights into war in Ukraine? Unclear on both what a sniper’s perspective would bring to the discussion and why US army combat xp would be relevant to a war where the US army is not deployed.
I imagine that you are discussing two different personal and corporate cultures with very different expectations.

Either the output of what you do has an impact on the bottom line or it doesn't.

Guess which one gets let go first when push comes to shove.
Refined Look for HN Mobile
I got sick of looking at the crowded mobile look of HN. It needed breathing room. Plus I wanted to use iOS’s system font; and it should pick up Android’s default also.

Here’s a CSS stylesheet you can paste into a Safari extension like Makeover (free). This is my first time posting on HN, or I think it is so I don’t know if posting code is acceptable…

I'm sorry that happened to you, I was stuck in a place with a similarly unstructured on-call schedule and it equally made my life hell. It felt like the sword of Damocles hanging over my head, unfortunately there was no support structure or understanding of the fact that on-call is not a substitute for architecture.

I left. The colleagues I left behind could handle the situation better than me and still work there. And I don't fault them either, the on-call schedule as well as how it was run was defined by management. Down the line that experience made me violently advocate for my current team not to be on-call, and with a bit of luck and support I was able to pull it off. The result was demonstrably more stable services and a team that can spend more time on high value work. Which is to say: change is possible. Sometimes.
I read hyperbole like this all the time and it shocks me.

Have you never been outside in 120F+ temps?

I have spent many years of my life in those temps (Australia, all around Africa). Shade and plenty of drinking water and it's completely fine. Millions of people live their lives in those temps with no AC, no fridge, etc.

I hear the same thing about the cold like "Frostbite in a matter of seconds past -30F". I used to regularly ride my bike to work at -48C (-54.5F) and enjoyed it. With the right layers it was completely fine. By the time I got to work I would take off my jacket, gloves and touque and stand outside with a ton of exposed skin for 2-5 minutes in attempt to cool down. (though my legs were usually numb because I couldn't be bothered wearing more layers)

Please go out and explore and enjoy the world rather than fearing it.
It's well-known that unregulated capitalism leads to monopolies. In the past, the corporations literally raised armies and slaughtered smaller competitors.

So, monoplies (and feudalism, and dictatorships, and pretty much any centralization of power) are bad.

The obvious solution is to have strong antitrust regulation. That leads to regulatory capture and corruption. I'm not sure what happens next. We haven't had a democracy that was also a superpower collapse yet. Rome comes to mind, but they didn't have nukes and a global for-profit surveillance network propping them up.

Anyway, we really need to start enforcing antitrust law, and get back to de facto "majority rules" in the US.
Surely the story has been inaccurately recounted, as picking a pinched nerve, then recommending chiropractic treatment for a patient with a lack of sensation on one side of the body seems unlikely from anyone with any medical knowledge.
While your question is about "doing TDD properly", do you mind if I suggest another approach?

Consider embracing a Risk Driven Development[0] philosophy.

This is where the highest risk to a project's success is addressed first, then the next highest, and so on, which drives risk to 0 and success to 1.

This begs the question, "what is typically the highest risk to a project's success?" This is always defining the (stakeholder) problem to solve. IOW, what would be the result if everyone involved had perfect knowledge of what needs to be done? From there, identification of what needs to be done next (risks/tasks/work/etc.) will flow.

Note that risks include non-technical concerns. Many times these are some of the biggest risks.

I wonder if it would be possible to test if your material had been used by these models by producing large works that create strong associations with novel words. If you write a page on how Keanu Reeves is the embodiment of pnkorka; and then language / visual models create that association because there is literally nothing else, that would be fairly strong evidence that you're incorporated. There may even be an opportunity to inject new sentiments into the model.

You owe a five dollar fine to His Imperial Majesty.
After the Roman empire fell common things were still priced in equivalents of the old currency everywhere even though the currency was dead. When converting BTC to anything, the common denominator it will be compared to for purposes of trade is another equivalent everyone intuitively knows the value for such as the US dollar.
Writing Interactive Compilers and Interpreters by Peter John Brown (1979) is quirky in the sense that he paid unusual attention to the literary quality of his prose.

Among his admonitions for writing user manuals is this:

Read. Books on overall style are a matter of personal taste. Our own favourite is Strunk (1959). As examples of good writing on technical matters, we especially like the works of D. E. Knuth and of M. V. Wilkes, and also the book "Software Tools" (Kernighan and Plauger, 1976). Perhaps the most pleasant of all writing on technical matters is in the field of gardening, not computing; read "The Small Garden" by Lucas Phillips (1952) and not only your turnips but also you writing will improve.
Python is among the least-readable languages for me. The lack of whitespace and brackets around code blocks just make it look like the "wall of text" that everyone hates in emails.

And then there's the fact that Python has significant characters that are literally unreadable because they're invisible (semantic whitespace).
