I recently learned about 'Jevons Paradox':

>In 1865, the English economist William Stanley Jevons observed that technological improvements that increased the efficiency of coal-use led to the increased consumption of coal in a wide range of industries. He argued that, contrary to common intuition, technological progress could not be relied upon to reduce fuel consumption.

Which is a criticism, it seems, for any system that values resource attribution over efficiency.
Lenovo offers old S3 on modern CPUs. Linux also supports the new sleep states. Get a better distro if you're having problems. This is a solved problem for like 5 years.
That is precisely my point, yeah - a Google search term "hack" that has spread into common parlance, even in places where it serves no purpose.
Because people who become high-achieving outliers tend to distinguish themselves in their adolescence. It's the start of a virtuous cycle where talent + hard work leads to admission into elite institutions (universities and, later, companies) which lead to positive network effects which amplify the ongoing application of talent + hard work.

It's rare for a previously unremarkable 36-year-old to suddenly turn in to Jeff Bezos (for a lot of reasons, not least that cognitive power peaks at age 25 so learning and adapting to novel situations gets harder with age).
If the colour of the bike shed is in the name of your nuclear reactor, maybe it actually does matter.
I have a project I'd like to make available to all as open source if I had some kind of contributor backing. I've had an inquiry about it already. So I think the project could have value to people looking to explore sounds of instruments in the orchestra especially since it can be easier to get satisfying results with the system I am working on compared to expensive and clumsy systems already available.

The problem I have is that just putting the code out there hoping that there would be interest is a bit like putting baby in an orphanage hoping someone will adopt the project when I would have to move on from it anyway due to no money coming in from other sources.

I love free software and my entire software world IS free software now with pretty much no exceptions. I'd like to contribute back to a community that has given me access to some of the best software I've used to date.

But I'm poor, hard to employ, and have skills or strengths that are in an unusual combination.

I like Ton Roosendaal's approach with Blender. I've been following his story since the late 1990s when I was using Lightwave 3D. I bought his book and tried to use his software but could not figure out what to do with it at the time. I think the book was unprofitable for him as it was expensive to make. But I observed his software get more and more powerful to where I am finding it easy to use Blender today. I don't know if Ton has financial difficulties I sure hope not but it seems he has some kind of support.

I'm not as talented as Ton. He could program great software without the niceties of Stack Overflow and all the learning help I have now.

But because of the talents of so many people I can make reasonably good quality products from my software and have ideas to make it a lot better than it is now.

I could do this over and over if I had backing.

How did curl and wget make it? And so many other tools that are simply taken for granted.

I really want to have creative control of the development of my software and I really don't want to see Adobe or Amazon to snatch it up, package it, and sell it as a service under my nose making tons of money where I am hoping to find enough work to pay my electric bill and subsidized rent.

The framework I'm building could be adapted to so many different ways of making melody, harmony, and rhythm. There are thousands of files from great composers that don't get much play time which can sound very interesting in instrumentation that they weren't written for. The software can be a great way to explore composition style and get ideas.

Although it can offer sonic realism I don't want the software to replace human performance. I really want it to be a starting point for developing new compositions worthy of being performed.

> then XPS 13 is a great laptop.

No, clearly not. Apart from the overheating the first experience you’ll have is opening it: You pull the screen upwards, but the hinge is too strong, so the bottom comes with the screen, and then since the handle is slippery you lose the screen and the whole block slams on the desk.

That’s on paar with the DELL experience. Pretty much everything is wrong about it.
It isn’t easy.

If you want to splice one gene that is feasible but there is only so much you can accomplish. If you were going to make somebody much more intelligent, stronger, taller, whatever you will have to splice a large number of genes and there is always the possibility’s you screw it up and the child is worse rather than better, maybe catastrophically.

What is feasible now is you could use IVR to make a large number of eggs, sample the DNA of the eggs, score the embryos based on what traits you think are desirable, and pick the best. That seems pretty safe but it’s arguable how big of a difference it could make.

An even more exotic possibility is this: it is possible to harvest gametes from an unborn fetus so one could do that selection, and then do the same selection again, applying several generations worth of selection to produce a very high scoring embryo.
I think that will be politically incorrect to discuss in detail and will drive us way into downvoting territory...
Or morphs itself into another Chrome in search of more revenue to support their new corporate lifestyle. I'm more worried about that. Since they made it a corporation with all the usual trimmings like an overpaid CEO they are becoming like all the other big tech. Flirting with big investors, looking at ROIs. All those paths lead the same way and it's away from the user.

Last year I became annoyed with some of the MacOS limitations and decided I wanted a laptop capable of running Linux.

I settled on the Thinkpad X1 Nano. It weighs less than a MacBook Air, has a matte HiDPI screen, which is great for sunlight, a built in camera shutter, and most importantly, a great keyboard experience. I also splurged and added a 5G modem. The laptop is spill and dust proof and can clearly take more of a beating than a MacBook could. It's designed to be rugged while traveling.

This laptop has been an absolute delight. It feels like nothing is in my backpack, which is a nice complement to my stronger desktop at home. The performance is good enough for my development workflow, and the battery is fine to last during my workday. The only negative I would say is that the battery life is noticeably shorter than the M1 MacBook Air I previously had, but it's not terrible. Just not amazing. The laptop runs relatively quietly, which was another factor I wanted.

I'm running Fedora Linux on it, which I've come to enjoy more than MacOS. If you're looking for a nicer laptop to rival a MacBook, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option in my opinion. I spent about $1300 in total on this laptop.

Believe it or not, my journey to Y Combinator started similar to how you may experience YC — through being a regular lurker and reader on Hacker News.

I went to Startup School, me and my cofounders applied, we got an interview, and we got in. I was an engineer, designer and PM. I'd built teams and products, but I'd never built a company.

YC gave me a shot, a community, knowhow, and the ability to access capital, talent, and customers.

YC changed my life. I want it to help a lot more people achieve their dreams and goals. It did for me, beyond my wildest dreams.

Zuck clearly said that Facebook got a general warning from the FBI regarding the elections, but didn't recall having a specific warning about the Hunter Biden story.
Even with Joe Rogan trying to press on the issue (he has been known to be critical of shadow banning) Zuckeberg justified the decisions fairly well, and Joe seemed to agree with him that it was a hard issue and that Facebook handled it the best way possible, and at least better than Twitter.
The thread is about having terrible support from Apple, and the comment you replied to was about getting away from lock-in, but you reply that the more efficient Apple Silicon is a "game-changer." It doesn't change any of the above deal breakers, so your comment comes off as tone deaf.
FWIW, scrubs are common. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2022/0...

Unfortunately, proper placement of a matte film is far from trivial. Nor is procurement.

I used a firm that provided an excellent product and decent service, but two years ago they replaced the film they had used for many years and which was superb, with an appalling grater - you can see the pins with naked eye, and it even sounds when you pass a finger on it. I have stopped purchasing mobile devices because of lack of proper ways to finish the screen.

I was actually thinking of finding a "universal" solution to use at home.

For laptop displays, I think will insist that they are professional grade, for professional use, until () the "universal" solution is in place and () for ethical reasons: you have to guide the market to the best standards and counter the bad ones.
ROG g14 , handles all the dev task and build quality is solid ! Been using it for over 2 years and zero problems as of now , apart from the sleep thing . Had to switch to hibernate mode
Had XPS 15 for 6 years for work. Screen started dying all the time in year 2. Magically fixed itself after being taken apart multiple times. Network card died. Replaced. Still disconnects sometimes. Added 16 gigs of RAM. Was super picky about what RAM it took. Battery did swell a bit, but then stopped and didn't affect anything. I never replaced it. Overall, I am not too happy, but can't think of a better laptop.

Edit: Saw another comment on overheating - I only run mine on a coolpad, period. I think it fries the RAM otherwise.

Humans are non-fungible, but despite the rhetoric, I don't think any company is actually hiring the best people they possibly could. There's so much noise in the hiring process to begin with, I have a hard time believing that racism is the one obstacle between the status-quo and paradise. More likely, there are a hundred things wrong with the hiring process, and racism is number 86.

A story heard years ago by an acquaintance, of Armenian descent:

After WW II, the Soviet Union urged former residents to return. One family member, with wife and children decided to take them up on the offer. He did not really believe that he could write candidly about conditions, and so they agreed that he should send a picture. If he was standing up, things were well, and the rest of the family should consider returning. If he was sitting down, things were no good, and the rest of the family should remain where they were.

When they received the picture, he was lying down.

Solving a maze using soft body physics
I noticed sometime last year Samsung put out an update for my Tablet that overrode my DNS delivered by DHCP and used Google's DNS directly. It was immediately obvious due to the amount of ads I haven't seen for years at this point due to running a pihole. Most of the solutions either involve software VPNs in the device to restore function or rooting it. Its terrible that any device would ignore and have no way to use the network settings as provided by the gateway.
a) Any community I ever found on reddit is, over time, infested by mediocrity, non relevant content and (leftist political & identity) hugboxing. Reddit attracts averageness and lowest common denominator content and that is just terribly boring and off putting. I really don't know how to put this in a way that doesn't appear arrogant. In the end the best summary I can offer is: Reddit is a garbage dump. You can find diamonds in a garbage dump, but don't expect it to happen often.

b) Hacker News and subreddits are variants of forum though? I understand your idea of being able to get this yourself on the linked pages, but I have to say I really enjoy the preselection hacker news users do for me.

I agree that the tolerance for risk is different today. But the argument would seem to imply, that NASA was then somehow more willing to endanger the lives of the crew. As mentioned, people died, so the increased caution was already a part of the program.

Let's not diminish the brilliant, flawless execution of the Apollo program, with the argument that they cared less for the lives of Astronauts.
>"OH, your currently halfway across the world on a island? No problem, we'll be there tomorrow"

Is this real? I travel quite a bit and have a ThinkPad with the highest level of support. When international, it takes at least 10 days to get replacement parts. The ticket is forwarded to the closest support. When I was in Cape Town, this happened to be the UK. It's easy to see how it takes that long to get replacement parts when they are shipped such great distances. The support reps, although friendly, weren't very responsive.

Unlawful combatants are not entitled to a trial. That doesn't mean you can't give them one if you feel like it.

You can basically do anything you want with them, including giving them a trial or even simply shooting them on the spot.

This is the case for any economy which relies on the easy extraction of cheap but ultimately finite energy/resources.

Debt is a human constraints that could be erased by a the stroke of a pen. Sure with political consequences, but civilization have endured these kind of consequences before. Debt have been erased, new currencies erected.

Once you run out of oil though... You can't legislate for tractors to run on good will to feed the planet.

I am way more worried of actual physical constraints and the consequences of reaching them (ecosystem collapse, political extremism, wars) than our self imposed idiotic economic models.
Wish this article dedicated time to considering whether widespread use of attribute selectors will slow down the browser, but it doesn't seem to. CSS class selectors have been aggressively optimized by browser vendors for decades, vs. selectors that just filter on an arbitrary set of HTML attributes.

Modern devices are pretty fast though, so maybe it's not an issue - but I know in the past the cost of doing CSS rule evaluation has been a problem.
I use it on Linux and macOS machines. I am afraid there is no support for Windows.
> Also, I see you've never heard of Miles Routledge, in fact I think he's in Afghanistan right now on a shooting trip with the Taliban

If "Miles Routledge" is on a "shooting trip with the Taliban", he deserves anything he gets.

And if you make a habit of visiting "spicy jurisdictions", you deserve anything you get.

I say this not out of animus for you or Routledge, but if you knowingly and intentionally engage in risky behavior, you don't get to whine when something goes wrong.

Edit: I smoke cigarettes, which I know to be risky behavior. If I get lung cancer, I won't be whining about it.

Similarly, if Routledge's Taliban buddies decide they don't like him any more, and take a notion to saw off his head on video (a rather more likely risk than him accidentally being sent to Gitmo, IMO), that's on him.
Even then, most apps are just thinly veiled webapps for which the site (with Firefox and uBlock) provides the same or superior experience, ad-free.
This is the kind of scrub that gets retried in days.
Because + is already taken. The way Haskell has done math operations, using + on strings would mean you'd also have to define - and * and a couple others.

edit: the confusion on that being a comment is likely due to linewrap issues in the site. That's not a Haskell thing, that's just this person's css.
I believe it's not really that frontend is more complex than backend. It's a matter of maturity.

My work involves more FE than BE nowadays and I do think FE is more challenging at the moment.

But it's mostly because all these problems are very new. FE never used to store a lot of state. Now that interactivity is expected, we do. Users expect polish so we add transitions. As we add more things, performance becomes something to keep in mind, and so on.

In a decade or so, I think these issues will be very trivial to solve. Standardized solutions will emerge. Browser support will get better and JS will improve (hopefully). We'll be solving entirely different class of problems.

It's what has happened to BE. Nowadays you can expect an ORM, a cache layer, and queue systems among others to be standard to any BE installation/framework. The traditional RDBMS in itself is a sight to behold. Imagine working on BE before these things became the default.

Many things are abstracted and a lot of people aren't even aware of them. For example, I don't know when's the last time I heard about SQL injection. They are all automatically handled.
Whoa, that was epic to hear. Thanks for posting this!

I keep coming across The Epic of Gilgamesh a lot recently. As one of the oldest stories, it comes up a fair bit in discussions of myth and the hero's journey. (Joseph Campbell references it in his Hero with a Thousand Faces.) I also found it again through another lens when reading about Jungian archetypes, where Gilgamesh himself helps demonstrate the masculine archetype of the King. I've been meaning to read the original story, but I'd never thought to punch it into YouTube.

4,000 years isn't that long ago. People back then were basically just like us. It's not hard to imagine them gathering around, excited after a long day (or a long year) of work, chatting with their friends in some little ur-amphitheater that's long since been reduced to dust. Some traveling singer takes the stage, and a hush falls over the crowd as the first notes echo out.

In those days, in those distant days...

In my case, not being able to use Firefox (and therefore all the extensions including ublock) was the main reason (among others) to get rid of my iPhone 12 pro and go back to a modest Android.
I think the downvotes are coming from calling it a “game changer”. How has the game actually has changed? What does the new AS MacBook enable that the other ones don’t, or other laptops don’t for that matter?

We live in an age of fast performance and great battery life on most any laptop. Having faster performance and better battery life isn’t changing the game —- that’s how the game has been played as long as laptops have been a consumer product category. If Apple’s support is the same, then the OP’s problem isn’t fixed. Their problem wasn’t performance and battery life.

P.S. I’m speaking as someone who owns both a MacBook Pro and a surface laptop, so I’m not exactly biased against MacBooks.
Seemed to, anyway.
I really like stow. It handles almost everything for me.

One thing, I didn't split things by apps per se. I split them based on task. In some machines, I do Python work, so I created a 'python' package. In some I do PHP, so I created a 'php' one. I have a 'base' one where it has my .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile, fish configs and other things.

Everything in the .bashrc. .profile, etc is loaded around conditionals. So, while the files are long, the section only activates if the other package is available. I thought about splitting it onto files, but most editors have a way of collapsing sections, so I decided to keep it on one so it's easy to edit in one place.
> Microsoft does this to push "modern standby" so they can phone home 24/7.

This seems like a less likely incentive than the expectation created by phones and tablets that the device become ready "instantly".

Qualcomm has moved into the laptop space and brands their products as "always-on, always-connected" such that your programs are not halted while the screen is inactive/lid is closed. Microsoft may feel like some of their laptops compete with iOS/Android devices that respond quicker. Maybe they want x86_64 Windows to work just as well as ARM Windows in this regard.
for me, pressure increases the frequency. also high jaw muscle tension increases the frequency in a similar way.
That is awesome.

Not entirely, I think they mean ads in games between "new game"/"next level" and the game/level starting. Free games are filled with them. Pre-roll ads in video apps like YouTube are different.
After reading the article I found not a single indication, at all, of CSS classes actually being harmful. But the allusion of the headline worked, and I clicked.
