I don't think most influencers are leaders. They're attractive conduits for corporate product placements. In fact you have to be quite careful as an influencer not to offend your base or get cancelled - I think they tend to be quite conservative and reserved with respect to risks.

Thank you for these guides!

Back when I joined Manas.Tech and learnt about Crystal, THE wow factor for me was the way `if` constraints optional types when you check it: https://crystal-lang.org/reference/1.5/syntax_and_semantics/...

That provides you the flexibility of having union types (variable may be `Thing1` or `Thing2`) for generic purposes, AND type-safetiness (is that a word?) when dealing with specific paths of your program that apply differently to some of the subtypes of the variable.

I think Swift and Kotlin support (some of?) that now. It was really new for me back in the day (around 2014?).

But that's from a coding point of view - not that much about niches, as you talk about.
This is a fascinating take. I'm currently reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Atlas Shrugged at the same time.

I was surprised to see this quote:

> Historian Warren Susman said that a “culture of character” gave way to a “culture of personality” and “every American was to become a performing self.”

Given today's obsession with personality, Carnegie seems fairly character driven in comparison!
> and once I told them I had filed a complaint with the government they started answering emails.

This still suggests there's a problem - companies can choose to break the law and only start following it when a tiny minority actually reports them to the regulators.

The regulation should be changed so that any regulator involvement regarding the matter implies an immediate and significant penalty, so companies are better off giving out refunds directly than waiting for them to complain to the regulator.

It looks good, however, it is not for me. On that specific example, I dislike the idea of the window buttons on the left as well as the dock. I find much productive to press the window key and type the app I want to open as I do on Gnome. I used to be a big fan of KDE back in the day and spend plenty of time installing desktop and icon themes, but nowadays I like to stick to "out of the box" experiences and I apply this to everything in computing, from the distro I use, to tmux, vim, web browser etc.
The people making these claims typically don't know anyone in GA or anything about their local airport. The taxpayers footing the bill for GA are GA USERS. GA pays way higher fuel taxes than the AIRLINES do.

A large proportion (the majority?) of the people in GA are not rich. They simply choose to spend their money on flying, instead of on leasing a new giant SUV every three years. My flight instructor had to SAVE UP to buy a crummy portable GPS... and 15 years later he still doesn't own a plane.

And that's not counting the entire industry's worth of people whose living depends on servicing aviation. Mechanics, painters, upholsterers, you name it. And this is a mostly DOMESTIC industry. It's despicable that GA doesn't enjoy more support from everyone, from legislators on down to Joe Plumber.

"You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks."

Oh yeah, Hacker News? Then WHY IS THE REPLY BUTTON ENABLED? Why do you allow people to waste their time typing out a question or comment and THEN say, OH NO YOU CAN'T POST? Then you jerks "shadow ban" people who point out your offensive behavior.
Ok, so industrial users buy hydrogen. And then how do you convert the currency they give you into energy when you need it later? If you're just trying to find an economic use for excess power, you might as well mine Bitcoin.
> devs apply for roles featuring languages they actively don’t like

Then that's their problem, not the employer's fault. If you know what stack is being used when applying for a job, and you despise said development stack, then why apply for the job?

But there are other developers out there who aren't that fussed about what development stack they might be working with. Often there are other attractions to the role such as compensation, paid time off, etc.

> What’s more understandable is a dev picking up a new language/tech stack on a job and discovering they don’t like it.

This happened to me once, but I held my nose and just got on with the job.
It concerns me that this is such a contentious argument. _Everything_ is political. Censorship, free speech and data privacy are about as political as you get. If the EFF did not take a political stance on these things, there would be no point to their existance.
I agree.

Few years ago there was an uprise of blog posts explaining how to run Linux as a primary system and virtualize Windows machine with GPU passthrough for gaming. ~ 1 year ago I took a dive and did a lot of reading and attempts to make it work, the final results made me really happy. QEMU/KVM/VFIO is one of the best software combinations I've ever used.

Witch CPU isolation and scheduling properly setup my Linux part of machine runs Docker with 25 services, while Windows part happily plays games without stutter at the same time.

That said, quite a few gaming companies are anti-virtualization (with reasonings being that mostly those who use it are using it for cheating purposes) and ban your account, without rights to appeal (ex. Rainbow Six). I honestly find this stance blunt and it feels like discrimination. But currently such use of virtualization is really niche, so what one can do?

Any details on efficiency vs other common forms of hydrogen production?

"We don’t need any energy input"

That's not really true. There's tons of engery used to mine, refine, and mill those metals. It's interesting that the gallium can simply be reused. I wonder what would be done with the oxidized aluminum.
Got it, thank you @fniephaus. Really appreciate the info, and please keep up the fantastic work!
Looks like their ad provider (Ezoic ad network) is screwing something up?
If you are emulating another architecture (e.g. running x86 images on top of an M1 chip) then yes. For native images, Docker Desktop uses xhyve, which is a port of the FreeBSD bhyve hypervisor to macOS
Why people make dumb financial decisions on purpose
It's from the Ezoic ad network code.
It shows who they consider role models, at the very least. I would rather my child idolize an astronaut or a firefighter than a social media star.

A heat pump warms a home more efficiently than using the same amount of electricity for resistive heating. It can do this because it's not generating the heat from scratch; it's moving heat from outside to inside.

The path to becoming an astronaut is to be a productive member of society. I'm for everyone wanting to become astronauts.

But your movie star comparison is pretty spot on.
It's sad that more children want to be influencers than astronauts today.
Is this really true about cashiers and truck drivers? I would have guessed the most common jobs are retail and fast food worker. But maybe that's just because I eat too much fast food.
GraalVM is multiple projects and I feel there is often a bit of a mix-up around these:

GraalVM is first and foremost a JIT compiler written in Java that can be plugged into OpenJDK. Due to it being written in a higher level language than the original Hotspot compilers (written in C++) they are easier to write/maintain/experiment with. This mode of operation is used extensively by Twitter for example, because on their workloads it provides better performance than Hotspot, but the two trades blows in general. But this uses the standard javac compiler so it is basically just a slightly different JVM implementation.

Since a JIT compiler outputs machine code it can be “easily” modified to do so in an offline setting as well — this is Graal’s AOT/native compilation mode. This will take a long time compared to some other compilers (I don’t exactly know the reason for that, probably Java’s dynamic nature requiring more wide-reaching analysis?), but will have lower memory usage and faster startup speed compared to the traditional execution mode (but rarely better performance).

There is also Truffle, which turns “naive” language interpreters into efficient JIT compiled runtimes and allowing polyglot execution, which is a whole other dimension.
Those are entirely socially subjective judgements.

Do you think a manager from Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, or China would agree with your assessment? Or who grew up in the Bible Belt in the US?

Especially if the candidate happened to be female? Culturally, odds aren’t great.

In fact, in some of these cultures, I could see the nude beach as being the biggest offense since it was the most clearly voluntary. Everyone has a bad day and gets angry sometimes after all (Taco Bell rant), or can be attacked by an angry Ex (revenge porn).

Not condoning, providing understanding for those who haven’t seen that kind of judgement happen from someone before.
Another approach, which can be quickly implemented on the personal level, is to turn off phone GPS location, reset the advertising ID, uninstall apps, and set remaining apps to be restricted when in the background. In other words, don't voluntarily give so much away. Some of this is a choice.
Already is being said. 'Influencers' were a thing early in 2000s and many of them already said 'if I started YT today I wouldn't make it'. Many of them coast by doing what they used to without major changes, but their format would fail today.
Which one did you want to be? I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
Your view of it is too simple and skewed.

We want to be able to track their every move, not do it constantly.

And by the way, they can track our every move, too, thanks to Family Sharing and that's how we (well, I) like it.
If your sampling strategy gets a biased group of 1000, it's almost certainly going to be biased in the same way as you pick 10,000.

1000 is plenty of individuals, the real concern is how they were chosen.
Thread from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32681012
This is splitting out two things that are really conjoined: people do think that becoming a TikTok star will make them rich and famous. And they're right in a sense: my understanding is that the small percent of "big" influencers make a lot of money.

Social media is civically poisonous in a lot of unique ways. But the desire for fame it induces in people, especially young ones, is not one of them.
The guidelines for dupes require "substantially new information", IMHO the source absolutely constitutes substantially new information and I look forward to seeing it - I think your video demo was very compelling.

It reminds me of that adage, "Start your business, the tool you build to run your business is now your business"
There are suggestion’s that we could catch up to it in 26 years if we launch a probe.

That’s be an excellent way to dispel doubt
My wife and I do several together. We end up on xordle.org which is our favourite by far and offers daily and unlimited games. It provides a starter word itself which mostly invalidates any regular starting word(s). Pity Wordle doesn't do that. Another nice thing is that the daily puzzle has a DALL-E (I assume) illustration using the start word and the two target words. If you haven't played it having 2 target words takes some time to get your head around.
You clearly did not deploy enough classes on Lambda to have more than 10 seconds warmup on a trivial Java based Lambda function.
> or maybe I am totally wrong

For the US, no you are not "totally wrong". The majority of 11kW EV charge ports will have been installed by an electrician and also inspected by the local govt. electrical inspector because the vast majority of people simply do not try do to this work themselves.

However, in many locations in the US, homeowners are allowed to do their own electrical installs, provided they pull a permit and have the required inspection performed. Those should also meet code, as otherwise the inspector should have failed the install.

Which only leaves those who will do the install without pulling a permit and having an inspection. What percentage of the total those would be I do not know, but given that few do their own electrical work anyway, it is probably a very small percentage of the total. And a sub-set of those would do the install properly to code anyway, even without the permit and inspection.
I can remember learning OO with Eiffel.

Many of those in the first category will likely work jobs in the latter category before, during, or after their influencer 'career'. C'est la vie.

I'm going to propose something crazy. Government shouldn't be allowed to do whatever isn't illegal. Government should not be allowed to do anything unless specifically authorized by law. With respect to electronic surveillance, the methods need to be clearly circumscribed. Anything outside of specific, written guidelines enacted into law should be illegal.
This is a great idea. I broke my phone in Mexico and it made the last few days a much different, amazing experience.

It's the scary goldilocks of nuclear waste.

On the one extreme, you have the Elephant Foot at Chernobyl, which even today will kill you if you, like, go up and lick it. But it's not going to sneak up behind you, so just don't go over there.

On the other extreme you have the release of radioactive water from Fukushima, which instantly dilutes to nothing in the vastness of the ocean. Meh.

In the middle, you have radiation sources like this, which are small enough to be unnoticed and highly mobile, but clumpy enough to still kill you dead if you get too close. Unless you have a radiation detector, you could step on one on your way home today and never know it.

Scary!
Maybe specific to me, but hear me out. 5 years ago, I was all Windows + Android. For both, you get hardware choice. This made me buy mid-range because it felt like a good deal to me. But every laptop I had was cheaply built and became slower and slower. I've never had an Android phone for more than 2 years because they all died for reasons: I had 2 Nexus 5 x that died in a bootloop (a well known issue with this model that Google has always refused to acknowledge), and a Pixel (3a I think?) that stopped charging for no reason.

Now with Apple you don't have a choice in hardware, you can't buy low-cost or mid range. You have to make the choice the make for you. Thiw works for me because I've never had better hardware in my life. I've had a MBP and an iPhone for 2 years and they're still as strong and efficient as the first day. The only non Apple device I still have are my Jabra earbuds, but the left one is randomly dying now. Can't to buy Airpods Pro instead :)

Ceph is incredibly reliable. I run a ~ 250 PB Ceph install with the equivalent of 1.5 medium-paid full time engineers[0], and I sleep very well at night.

Failure after hardware failure, it just keeps running and running. We currently fail at a rack level, but no reason we can't do that at a building level with enough hardware.

0: We have more people on our team, but we also deal with other things that take a lot more of our time.
I've done a lot of med tech, and I can assure you, outside of most large hospitals (and even many of those.) The tech is staggeringly out of date by most standards.

Getting things approved as a medical device, and then updating the software, operating system, etc.. for it is a huge pain in the ass.

I know that wasn't the point, but just wanted to mention it.

No. But I can tell you they mandated 'producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030' nd instead of building even more renewables asked PG&E to limit Diablo Canyon output to meet this internal goal.

>The main driver deterring PG&E from seeking a 20-year operating licence extension is the 2015 renewable portfolio standard (RPS) of producing 50% of its electricity from qualified renewable energy sources by 2030. PG&E’s model for the future cost of operating Diablo Canyon indicated that the cost per kilowatt hour was going to almost double, since the company would be forced to lower the amount of power it could produce from the plant in order to meet the state’s requirement. Dropping the capacity factor from the current 92% to say 50% would virtually double the price per kilowatt hour since costs are largely fixed.

>The state law which effectively dictates that by 2030 Diablo Canyon should operate at lower capacity each year and buy in power from intermittent renewables has apparently sealed the fate of the plant.
What's the breakdown by gender? I wouldn't be surprised if it skews female. Anecdotal, but it seems a large percentage of online dating profiles just exist to collect followers and increase count (which increases revenue if you sponsor something, right?)
That's fair, but when I buy a laptop made by Lenovo or Dell or whatever, that doesn't prevent me from upgrading Windows to a new version, so why is that the case with Android? (I know the real answer to this, but really, how is this still a problem?) If I bought a google pixel phone, would they support it with new versions for 5+ years? Just sucks that no android phone manufacturers have any incentive to try and keep a phone up to date for more than a year or two any more.

This point is about 20 years out of date and is no longer true in most of the country. Most local police, aside from border states, will not inquire about immigration status when dealing with the general population and many larger cities actually refuse to cooperate with ICE immigration detainers on inmates in their local jails for non-violent offenders.
I agree with most of what you said, but Apple is still one of the few big techies that is relying on making better products to increase revenue. All the others have gone down the path of "how do we trick people into transferring their money to us?". In that sense, Apple is exceptional. Their consumer grade hardware, for example, is still unmatched and try as they might nobody has come close.

If I had to bet on one big techie I'd choose Apple, which is probably why their stock has been so resilient. Simultaneously I hope regulators come down hard on the anti-competitive behaviour by Apple (and the others), but I think we're far more likely to see an increase in corruption than a decrease over time.
It usually needs a bit longer warmup period in my experience. But for long-running processes it can be ideal, Twitter for example uses it for quite some time in production.

Also, not every GC is available, or only in the enterprise version.
I have replaced my iphone with an Apple watch and I am a professional in my thirties. If i carry a phone i check it constantly. The watch is great for me, and now I hate having to carry a phone (i.e. if i need a certain app, camera, travel or something) and I'd recommend it to most people.

The worst part is when i get a call, i have to decline it, put on my airpods, open the podcast app to make sure my watch is connected to my airpods, and then call back. If I pick up the call immediately i either have to ask them to wait while i put on airpods and sometimes the call is stuck on watch speakers (which is less than ideal, but can be ok) because blue tooth suck. this might sound nightmarish, and it sorta is, but, that is how far I'm willing to go to avoid the internet when I'm out and about.

I own an iPhone SE, it just sits at home in the charger, forwarding calls to my watch. My watches battery goes out late afternoon, where i get home and can charge it. I have replaced my computer with an iPad pro where i answer all my messages.

First time I hear about MultiPaper, another idea I had which I din't know someone was already working on LOL. It's a pretty promising idea considering the current performance problems of the game. This could possibly allow thousands of players in the same server which would be AMAZING, almost a completely different game. Imagine if MultiPaper was compiled to native using GraalVM.
