That would be about what I'd expect (except I don't use miles!). But I'm wondering if that's typical for most Americans of your or older generations. I always figured the LA story gag of driving 5 metres to your neighbour's house was only a mild exaggeration of reality...
Hello “incitydreams”, you first.
That's pretty much entirely in the hands of the universities and professors. To a large degree this is really a US-specific problem, US textbooks are easily 2-3 times as expensive as elsewhere. And the cause is likely that US universities require specific textbooks for courses, which is not how it works e.g. in Germany where I studied. I had a single course that required a specific textbook, which cost like ~50 EUR at regular price. Every other textbook I bought I selected myself, and they almost all were really worth their price.

Requiring specific textbooks in specific editions removes all market forces and direct competition. It also kills the second-hand market and makes it much more difficult for libraries. When students are free to choose which textbooks to buy or rent from a library you get a much healthier market.
I’m paying extremely close attention to repeated claim that malloc is just as hard as GC for hard real time. That claim is false. See my previous comments for the reason why.

Yarn 3 has a pnpm style linker. It works pretty well, on par with pnpm itself.
Please, see my answer about David Evans'course somewhere in this thread
It is an excuse to blame the foreigners, agreed. These measures were not decided by them, I just think the government hasn't invested enough on affordable housing, and this helps.

About we not getting a tax raise... true, but we do have price indirect cost increases, mostly in housing. Right now most of my friends outside tech here in Lisbon are making ~800€ a month. That's around the cost for a tiny 1 bedroom within 45min of their workplace, a lot of them have to share a house with people they don't know.

Bringing skilled people is good, but will they be retained once time is up for the benefits? Is the government actually investing in high-tech or just picking up the scraps from foreign business?
The limit is the limit. If you don't finish in the time given, I want to see what you did in that time.
It seems like a weird move to increase the cost of the Quest 2 from $300 to $400 if a successor is coming out soon. Don't companies normally put the "old" or soon to be old version of a product on sale to clear out inventory and avoid buyer's remorse?

I wonder if they're trying to ground consumers on a new price because the new one is going to be in the Index price range compared to the affordable Quest 2
I think that "Entries" is not talking about "Works", but rather "Relations", i.e. each episode director, soundtrack artist, animator, etc would be a "relation" to a work.
They might benefit somewhat, but I'm not sure it's net positive.
I’m never all redevlopment is bad, but if part of the old parcels are the nice walkable shops and nearby residences, and we don’t really allow new ones, then it’s going to be a predictable net loss. A lot of these locations are grandfathered in and would not be allowed under their current zoning regulations.

There’s a separate issue with new modern mixed use in the US where retail tends to have low occupancy. Partially this is because there continues to be a massive glut of retail space in the US, and partly because the new spaces tend to be too large to be profitable for anything other than chain stores, and there are only so many chain stores to go around.

Typically monitors buffer frames because the LCD matrix itself has a maximum and minimum refresh rate - and the user may provide an input signal outside that rate.

Even so, the anti-ghosting compensation algorithms typically only work at one rate.
It failed.
Users don’t know what they want. They don’t deserve to make every decision, because they’re often missing context or misinformed. For example, you think you want this, but as soon as you get it, you’ll want the opposite. Version fragmentation leads to bugs, security vulnerabilities and poor overall user experience which is all you’ll really get with this change. Perhaps you’d make that tradeoff for the illusion of freedom, but the vast majority would not and Apple has to consider all their customers.

This is incorrect. The statistic of 5.8 liters per hour is actually liters per hour per square meter. A 10x10cm panel would produce 58ml per hour in full sun. If you instead put a solar panel with 20% efficiency and used the electricity for reverse osmosis you would produce about an order of magnitude more water per square meter. This may have lower capital or operational costs, though, and it is certainly more decentralized, so it could be useful in some situations.

IBM i opened my eyes a bit, and made me a bit sad, when I decided to check it out after decades of working on what I now realize are entirely UNIX-y OSes. By that I mean that besides the many actual UNIX-derived systems like Linux, Solaris, HP/UX, macOS I worked on, IBM i made me realize that DOS, Windows, OS/2, and whatever else most people are probably aware of nowadays, are also UNIX clones to a much higher degree than I thought.

IBM i is completely different in many ways. It has a unified 128bit address space. It does not have the same concept of a hierarchical filesystem (by default, you can bolt one on, but it clearly does not "fit"), and it does not even strongly have the concept of having everything in "streaming" files (or their equivalent) to begin with. It also has a completely different "command line" concept for example, and countless other aspects that are hard to explain succinctly.

It is a bit like learning Haskell, where it used to feel like you thought you could learn every language in an afternoon (after C, C++, Java, JS, Pascal, perl, python, awk, shells, BASIC, and countless others), but then discover you have to relearn the very basics, and that what you thought of as universal actually isn't.

A lot of these concepts work really well. They are at a level of abstraction that I would not have thought possible in practice. They allow the system to be incredibly stable and low maintenance, and elegant. The underlying architecture was changed at least once (maybe twice, not sure), and it was entirely seamless for customers.

It made me sad because I discovered a computing world that could be widespread reality, but in all likelihood won't be. That's thanks to UNIX being so pervasive that it's now basically woven into the very fabric of computing, but that is of course in no small part thanks to IBM's extreme closeness. I once thought UNIX was the way to go, but I'm not so sure anymore. And now that it's everywhere, too many of its concepts are considered a "ground truth". UNIX won because it was hard to avoid getting exposed to it, while for IBM i you had and still have to fight for even just trying it out.

Interestingly, the IBM mainframe world, i.e. z/OS and its predecessors, do feel the same in terms of "you have to relearn everything", but with the opposite outcome. Where IBM i is presenting you with unique abstractions from the very base of the OS, it's amazing how little abstraction there is in the mainframe world. You clearly get a sense that mainframes come from a time where a lot of common concepts simply had not been invented yet, while on the other hand IBM i (or rather its predecessors) reimagined OSes at a much later time.

We were watching Youtube with a hippie houseguest the other day, watching a promotional video that looked like a 1990s home video made by a friend of ours who used to organize music festivals.

After the November 2020 launch day chaos, with not that much existing software available was working on those machines at the time like Docker, Java, Android Studio / Emulator, VSTs, etc a typical developer would have to wait more than 6 months just to do their work with fully supported software on the system and to take full advantage of the performance gains rather than using Rosetta.

At that point, they might as well skipped the M1 machines and instead waited to purchase the M1 Pro MacBooks. Now there isn't a rush in getting a M1 Macbook anymore as now Apple is already moving to the M2 line up.

By the time they have made an Apple Silicon Mac Pro, they are already planning ahead for the new series of Apple Silicon chips; probably M3, which will be after the M2 Pro/Ultra products.

After that, it will be the beginning of the end of macOS on Intel.

I thought Fishmonger was the best album of 2021, and most of it's songs can't break 100k listens on YouTube. I still don't understand how you're conflating viewcount with your emotional attachment to the song, unless this is all some tongue-in-cheek native marketing.

If viewcounts reflected the quality of music, then Baby Shark and Despacito wouldn't be the most-streamed videos on YouTube.

Investment clearly works across all facets of our economy. It could work, in schools, too. But our society will never allow for what it really takes to adequately use the funding given to it.

It's not surprising students did better as they were younger. Poor districts expose children to bad outcomes earlier leading to poor performance in school, obviously during the teenage years.
> Lemon uses a different grammar syntax which is designed to reduce the number of coding errors.

Why does it seem as if almost every parser generator defines its own quirky grammar syntax? What's wrong or so difficult with just accepting W3C EBNF? Who thinks it's a good idea to force grammars to be re-written in the first place?

Does nobody complain about vendor lock-in due to the quirky grammar syntax they were forced to use?

Where are the automatic conversion utilities for these parser generators? Something that takes, say W3C EBNF and spits out the quirky parser generator grammar language? Shouldn't that be simple?

I really don't get it.

What do startups/founders look for in designers?
I'm a design manager in a medium-sized corporation. Don't think I'd ever work for tech due to a variety of reasons, but every now and then I wonder what it would be like.

As in the title, what do you look for in your first design (and loosely, marketing) hire in a startup environment? Skills (hard and soft), type of projects in a portfolio, particular experience?
It's almost exactly like the old magnetic Wiegand Wire swipe-cards, which align the wires high or low so they go past different read heads.

I've always thought of Wiegand as a 1-d barcode because the displaced wires are just a way of achieving "contrast" and clocking, basically. But I could see the argument breaking down into semantics.
I'd call it an early experiment and what we could afford at the time to evaluate candidates for a SWE summer internship. Maybe other companies will like this approach and offer challenges that pay much better, with different setups & time horizons. Ex a user turnt his challenge into a 3-month contract-to-hire arrangement that paid $15k to the person who did the work & got the job.

Ultimately it's about getting the right signals. Real work produces the best signals. The rest of the mechanics are a WIP :)

Really appreciate your input, thanks a lot!!
Start advocating for the same on issues you care about?
I agree with that. However, some things might be easier to fund with charitable donations than others.

For example, the reason GiveWell doesn't recommend donating for vaccination campaigns isn't because they don't think vaccinations are cost-effective (they are) but because giant organizations like governments and the WHO are funding these things already. It's not a "neglected" cause so it's hard to move the needle by donating there.

I suspect that hard infrastructure like railways are funded by loans from the IMF and maybe foreign aid? I don't know if GiveWell has evaluated that sort of thing specifically.

GiveWell's mission is advising individual donors on which charities they should give money to, which means charities that exist, take donations, are trustworthy, can show effectiveness, and so on. It's not things people could theoretically fund; it has to be practical.
To me, the reason is simple - it got big.

When a site/group is small there's little motivation for bad actors, advertising spam, fake accounts, etc. Why bother making spam bots on site X when site Y has 10x the userbase? Why try to make people angry with poor headlines when it won't reach a large audience? Why try to do propaganda when you could go elsewhere?

Smaller communities are generally also tighter knit. In a small group there's more notable reputation that sticks. People can't get away with being jerks.

As well, there's the corporate side. Reddit has to think and act very differently than HN does. They need to think about their profitability. What do advertisers think of their site? What kind of opinion does the public have of them? They can't afford to let things be loose and wild, they need to carefully control the content or the hammer could come down on them hard. That means a lot of accusations of violating "free speech".

If HN suddenly got as popular as Reddit did, the exact same things would happen to HN as Reddit. 0 doubt.

So no, it's not directly the format of reddit that is the problem. It's just the size.
Heh, you can tell how much I definitely don’t use it. I only recall when someone tried to get me to use mine they showed me a username (nickname?) and a QR code. So I must have registered a number at some point.

Yeah I agree with this too, which is one reason I was subtly making a distinction above between goals and actions. Rilke’s goals seem to be intrinsic motivation and intense focus, but “solitude” is the action he concludes one needs to do to achieve those goals (of writing poetry). Really, there are different kinds of people and different kinds of creative work, and different goals. Rilke had success, but there are plenty of poets, and many many more artists and creatives, who are wildly social. Creativity doesn’t require solitude, I just wanted to extract the parts of this essay that were helpful for me.

I liked reading this fictitious conversation by Rilke, but I’m not about to take it as bible truth and go live in the woods in hopes of being more creative. (And I don’t think he was actually suggesting that either, it seems like he was talking about protecting his work time, like during the day, because it’s an action that worked for him to achieve his goals.)

> Programmers are more likely than most to prefer solitude, but even that isn’t a constant.

True! And we often want solitude even when it isn’t the best thing. ;) I have watched myself and others go too far away from what is needed in some situations because the requirements weren’t understood well enough, and assumptions were being made, and because it’s super fun to dive into a clever algorithm or data structure, or a learn and implement a fancy technique. Programming in a business setting is a social process and sometimes means checking in with people early and often, iterating, and getting repeated feedback. I got in trouble in my very first industry job when I complained about having to report my progress daily because it took an hour to prepare and interrupted my flow, the note in my file about uncooperativeness stayed around for years. Later I came to believe I was in the wrong because of watching people drift away from the goals without enough talking…
So you offer a privacy app that needs to see everything I'm doing online, just like a VPN, but at the html level. And that "html vpn" is free, funded by god knows who. I wouldn't use it, but I admit this might be a valid business idea. I'll also add that this "vpn" app trades a bit of DDG's reputation for attention.

I worked at FB in 2016-17. The bootcamp _was_ amazing, but we didn't go live on day #2. (Maybe this was true earlier.) I think I got something live on week #2. Day #2 was not realistic, you need to set up the macbook, accounts, receive the bootcamp tasks, get some context in a multi MLoC codebase, test locally, commit, get it reviewed, then it went live for staff.

Still, the spirit of the post is definitely true. Bootcamp was awesome, it indoctrinated us to Move Fast and Break Things, and Just Ship It. FB was an amazing company, best company I ever worked for.

What others point out, that this doesn't work for all domains; it's true. But it's probably true for 90% of the startups here on HN. Also, if you're a startupper, esp. one doing the other 10%, you better be able to apply critical thinking to advice on the Internet..

Yes. Startups are deeply focused on revenue. Developing security for a product is considered "extra" and "nice to have", not essential. That goes double for operations. I have never seen a startup actually practice security unless in preparation for an audit.
