Reddit won, they are the internets forum there is nothing else that comes close.

Given that and the fact that the majority of their users are probably on mobile now not desktop, I'm sure their investors and board are cheering them on to convert mobile users to App users, they're likely much more valuable.
I found out tgat WhatsApp is auto muted under engery saving mode in CalyxOS. Now I just have to remember to check every once in a while. The list of apps I use is pretty short anyway.
APS-C crop factor is around 1.5x - 1.6x. 1.8x is a bit too small for digital cameras and I never encountered one.

Canon uses 1.6x, and everyone else is on 1.5x bandwagon.
Yet here they are, alive and kicking, while objc is gone, motif gone, etc. Long live gnome, long live gimp, long live gtk!
It’s all offline in 4gb file on your local computer. It’s like mini brain trained to do just one/few specific tasks. Just like your own brain doesn’t need Wi-Fi to connect to global memory storage of everything you experienced since birth, same way this 4gb file doesn’t need anything extra.
You're not working with a 10x engineer. It sounds like you're working with someone who may think they're a 10x engineer, but they're likely just reducing the effectiveness of the rest of the team. Hopefully your company/team's management is aware of the distinction. If not, you and the team need to communicate this to them (in a tactful manner).

I've worked with people who were truly 10x engineers and others who just thought they were 10x engineers. The actual ones did this by succeeding in the context of the broader team. The ones deluding themselves just made everyone else miserable, and then left messes to clean up when they left.
I don’t find the HTTP headers approach useful. Headers only appear a few bytes before the HTML so if you keep the regular link tag right at the top of the file you’re good to go; no need to mess with headers.

Every HTML file should start with: doctype, html tag, head tag, charset meta tag, title, stylesheet link tag. A couple of those tags are even optional.
I suspect writing bad code with poor documentation has nothing to do with autism. I'd suggest don't treat him different than any other employee.

If he steals work he steals work, less to be done by you. If he crashes and burns, so be it.
I don't know about autistic IANAD - but I've met the behaviour in several companies. Often the code was bad and not complete, used new technology to tackle a problem, then person moved on to new code/technoligies when they get bored, leaving ruins. Had always the highest standing with management because he was an "achiever".
This is incorrect. Quantum key distribution ("quantum cryptography" is a misnomer) is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Security relies on having a pre-shared key which makes it essentially useless in practice (just use AES if you have a PSK).

Your point on depreciation is fair, but the 'cash for clunkers' program was nothing more than an economic subsidy.
There were no reasonable electric vehicles at the time which would have reduced carbon usage and the newer improved efficiency vehicles available would never offset after accounting for the entire vehicle manufacturing process. The old car getting lower mpg was still less polluting than producing an entire vehicle with mpg better by 30%.

Not only that, but it destroyed the secondary market by destroying all those vehicles, as you mentioned, requiring more production to make up for the short fall. Putting those second-life vehicles in other countries was a net benefit, reducing once again the new full production cost of vehicles there. In particular because less developed nations have historically been less accountable for pollution industrially by necessity.
Turning off desalination plant if it is easy to turn on-and-off seems like one of the smart use cases. Just need to have it to have overprovisioned size so that it can stock pile water when power is available at reasonable rates. And that really isn't a complex thing, we have been doing it for millenia now.
Do you have a similar (web based, no mobile apps) workaround for Twitter?

I don't have Twitter installed on my phone as I don't want to be bothered by notifications and I don't want to see my personalized feed. But sometimes I want to catch up on some breaking news or hear a commentator's thoughts on a recent event, and Twitter is either a good place or the only place for that.

Unfortunately, the Twitter web app shuts me down when I scroll too far into a page.
Actually no. Modern lenses coupled with stabilization systems get pretty sharp.

I have a 24MP A7-III. The very lenses I use can resolve at 60MP siblings, too.

Modern glass foundries of Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fuji can create pretty impressive glass nowadays.

BTW, between $1M and $1.1M, NYS tax rates switch to flat, not marginal, and apply to the entire income.
Right but the context to this is not fixed and is human constructed. Just because a bad system produces undesirable outcomes doesn’t mean we have to shrug our shoulders as if this is the only possible state of things.
>* is what makes your website -feel- slow, even if you managed to trick Google into thinking it loaded quickly.*

I assume this is why a lot of pages do it: SEO over UX. If they cared that much about user experience the ads and tracking would be gone before worrying about CSS in this way.
Micro Four Thirds is a 2x crop factor and I absolutely love my Panasonic GH-5. I primarily use it for 4k video which it excels at, as the smaller sensor means it can record 4k at high bitrate continuously without overheating. That said I still find it extremely rewarding for still photography. I'm happy with the results event when printed up 13"x19" on my Canon Pro-100 printer. Some photo samples I am proud of, limited to 4k resolution by twitter but 20 megapixels originally.

The title is not a question, but a statement. There are no evidence more than this anecdote to support this statement, and it's a very harsh one, putting all autistic people in one basket - despite the likely chance this has more to do with the person than autism.

Please be more careful when putting out/framing your personal thoughts than this. It's the same category as racism.
> They just let every smartphone company do what they want

I understand your point. It is like (me) linux user asking for a simple desktop - minimal GUI. Nothing flashy like winXP.

The world on the other hand (incl. many developers) want tons of features - bling etc. This is rampant in developing world (especially phones non-motorola phones).

BTW, you could have bought moto G, E editions in India. These are so close to stock pixel experience.

> er vividly since I have to code for 23 hours straight just to beat that deadline.

Lets be honest. That indicates app ecosystem matured. It is as big as OS. People that we ask to build apps charge tons of money.

> TV by plugging an Android USB.

For you it is a feature. For others it may be a security issue.
Good to see producers also don't like attention-grabbing titles or thumbnails. I fight clickbate with the only tool I have found.
If a recommended canal have clickbait titles, shocked faces on the thumbnails or if the titles are auto-translated to my language I select never recommend this canal and move on to the next
Do you now get the entire web UI with it, ready to go?
I think if you remove the word “autistic” from the title then almost everyone on HN would have worked with someone like your description.

I’ve worked with a few. They’re usually solid over-achievers in general, and have gotten by with their toxic personalities due to their above-average output. They’re a burden on those around them but management just see the output so don’t really care.

I’ve quit jobs due to people like this.
I think they are different definition of 10x engineer and OP’s definition is someone who writes a lot of code and understand the stack.

From what you explain, you are clearly an outlier. If on one side of the bell curve there are the "whales", you are probably... a plancton?

Perhaps, but I've never heard of a definition involving someone who writes "really bad code".
Did you install all the same apps that you have in S22+ in iPhone 13 mini? Likely not. Please do fair comparison.

If you install 100 + apps in iPhone it is also terrible.
You mean autistic employee, singular.

Whether the behaviour "comes from" his autism or not should not have any bearing on how you deal with it. (This is not legal advice)

Do you not have a code review step to prevent bad code from entering the repository?
YouTube shorts is the biggest thing I wish I could disable on my modern internet experience. So I personally think it's a failure for me as a market
OP is not saying they’re the one who are responsible for the bad code
I've always wondered why GNUstep didn't work out; would've been a fantastic way of porting Mac OS apps, in theory at least. I guess that is what you're saying as well.

In his videos Andreas mentions the motivation for creating Jakt was wanting a safe productive language for developing SereneityOS and its GUI Apps for the long term future as he didn't believe the trajectory of C++ was going to be suitable and found other languages unsuitable for adoption in SerenityOS so he teamed up with JT to create a new one without C++'s unsafe footguns, initially transpiling to C++ so it's easily integrated into SerenityOS build system and able to access their existing C++ libraries.

They're still actively developing inheritance support which I believe is the last remaining feature before they can start creating SerenityOS's (OOP) GUI Apps with it [1].

OP didn’t say he was the one responsible for bad code. Autistic here probably means that he seems better than most people and most engineers can’t compete with his output
You can use https://nitter.net (just replace Twitter.com in the URL)
In addition to that a parallel curve is not necessarily in the same class as the original curve. For example the parallel curve of a cubic Bézier is itself not expressible as a cubic Bézier.

So, while the translation of a curve is pretty simple the parallel curve can get tricky to deal with analytically.

A good source for this kind of stuff is also Knuth' work on Metafont, even if Metafont iself completely side-steps these issues by just painting many circles along the original curves to produce the parallel.

Digital ocean droplet for hosting my typescript node backend (api) server. Sqlite for storage ($5/mo). Right now I'll typically just git pull when I want to redeploy, however depending on the project I may setup a docker compose script to spin up containers, that gets automatically run on commit to main.

I let cloudflare handle DNS for free also, and have it proxy to sideproject.com / api.sideproject.com for ddos mitigation.

I agree but this doesn’t help gamma-male. I’ve dealt with people who were producing more than everyone else and must have been on the autism spectrum. It’s not a bad thing per se, but it makes you wonder “can non-autistic people achieve as much and compete with their asperger coworkers?”
No, it's a layer to obfuscate things even further. It's a pseudo kinda job, bullshit job for future gen ppl. Even the simple pagespeed value was not respected by any Goog product, so why pushing it as a metric?

Sorry i wasn't clear but this is what I was talking about so yeah
Booking travel mostly meant you had to go through a travel agent and if you were doing anything off the beaten path (flight, cruise, major hotels), you probably wanted a specialist agency of some sort. Guidebooks and magazine articles were probably your main sources of information. This was all generally true as recently as about 25 years ago. Airlines also had ticket offices in major cities.

When entities like Expedia started coming online, it was a major sea-change. At my first job after grad school in the 80s, the company actually had a travel agent on premise in our main building to help employees book both business and personal travel.
Of course, these AI generation tools are still driven by people who need to learn different techniques for incorporating them with their use of traditional graphics tools.

See this video of someone generating a scene with a photoshop stable diffusion plugin, combined with other photoshop tooling: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho...

The art at the top of the article is breathtaking, and looks like it would take a much longer time than writing the article, unless assisted by AI, hence the speculation on my part
One advantage of the smorgasbord style app is the your personal information is only being held by one player. I like my privacy, however it is hard to estimate how your private data will be abused when your privacy is smeared across multiple corporates.

Programming language: C

Thank you, but I have enough nightmares with C.
Same here. Haven’t found such a place. They might say they care about quality but in practice they care about the deadline and/or feature count above all else.

Maybe this era of cheap money coming to an end will change that, since it won’t be as easy to throw good money after bad to duct tape workarounds. Instead, management layers will be forced to do it right. But I’m not holding my breath.

I'm the opposite. YouTube was binge watched before netflix, then Netflix, now, it's swung back to youtube.

Problem is now they're pushing shorts which suck. If I wanted short content I'd sign up to TikTok or Instagram. Personally I think youtube should target longer content which will, I think, probably outlast short content.
yep... also, why the hell can't you speed them up like you can do normal videos? (by using , and . in a browser)
Ask HN: AI Research Status
Hello everyone! First of all, I am a complete newbie in this field. I'm just a curious guy who reads AI papers in his bathroom sessions. I want to ask you something that I have been thinking about for quite some time. It seems to me that AI research lately is focused on non-objective areas like art. My question is why? Is it because we are facing a new winter? Perhaps artistic research will open up new ways to improve AI in general? What do you think? Thanks in advance.
Lambda Labs is probably cheaper: https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud
We think carefully about this.

We do in fact have some extremely advanced testing infrastructure, even going as far as using a deterministic Linux hypervisor to do coverage guided fuzzing of our compiled binaries from the outside in. At the same time, we fuzz from the inside out, also Deterministic Simulation Testing, with a ton of assertions (literally a 1000+ and counting) as a force multiplier for fuzzing. Our experience in all this, is that while Zig is early in terms of timeline, the quality is nevertheless extremely high.

Andrew and team know what they're doing. They've got some of the best people in the world in their respective fields. For example, Frank Denis of libsodium heading up Zig's crypto.

Beyond this, we do the basic things like consciously restrict our use of language features to stable features only (which may be why our experience has not been the same as yours with respect to compiler bugs?), and invest in our own I/O stack around io_uring instead of depending on the std lib, which we know will churn.

Two of our team are Zig core team members and we sponsor the Zig Software Foundation to invest in the ecosystem. Don't forget also that Zig's ecosystem is really C's ecosystem so there's an escape hatch there.

Also, TB is not yet production ready. We'll ship our production release when we're confident that our TB binary is safe, or able to shut down if it detects any safety violation.

At the end of the day, databases are a big investment. It's important to think about the next 20 to 30 years. C would absolutely have been the wrong choice for that future.

As you say, the future is bright for Zig, and we're convinced that Zig is the right choice for a database that follows embedded coding standards with respect to memory. For example, TigerBeetle has to handle memory allocation failure, and only does static memory allocation so we never malloc or free after startup.
I would say this particular situation is rare but the underlying problem is pretty common.

This is a management problem manifesting as an IC problem. If management is aware of this jerky behavior and lets it continue, they're hobbling the team and limiting their overall productivity. If they're unaware of the problem, they're just clueless.

Either way, you probably want dip out on that team. If you're the conscientious sort, you can tell them why as you go.

Also:

> 10x engineer

> he steals work from others

> It’s also really bad code so he’s the only one that can understand it and refuses to document or explain what is going on

10x more code produced != 10x better engineer. When people talk about "10x engineers" they usually mean the latter.

> Personally I've noticed that my overall impression of experiences is usually much more positive than they should be.

I envy you a little bit.

I've noticed that my overall impression of experiences is usually extremely negative, as no matter how many positive memories I have, the negative experiences always overwhelm me so much that the positive ones don't even feel real.

I remember going to a vacation, and while there were a few pleasant moments, I can't really recall them and re-experience them - I just know rationally that they did happen. But recalling unpleasant moments brings all the unpleasantness back to the present moment.

I really wish it was the other way around.

No, but you do have to keep the original paper around, assuming you got one in the first place. Those things easily get junked or misplaced.
Once HTTP 103 is better supported this will improve.
So why doesn't it?
Here's an example:

The web is a graph. Each node in the graph is a web page. Each edge is a connection a hyperlink between pages. You can represent a graph as a matrix.

If you random click on links you'll end up visiting some web pages (the more connected ones) more often than others. You can define a probability distribution over pages as "what is the probability I'll end up at this web page after an infinite number of clicks". This is the stationary distribution of a Markov chain.

The stationary distribution is the largest eigenvector of the matrix that represents the graph. This gives a way to compute the stationary distribution via well studied algorithms.

You can use this idea to

1) assign importance to pages based on the magnitude of the probability, to improve web search. You might call this algorithm PageRank.

2) found a company called Google that is currently worth USDtrillions.
> I disagree. Consider the Brainfuck argument. You can totally blame Brainfuck and its “paradigm” for detrimental consequences.

That's a poorly put-together red-herring. Brainfuck is not one of the leading production programming languages that has been used for decades to write all sorts of applications, from operating systems to web services and specially desktop applications, AAA games, and high-performance computing. Brainfuck is a gimmick "esoteric" programming language used as a challenge.

> My point is it’s easier to modularize and encapsulate properly with procedural or functional paradigms because they don’t force you to do that work before you start solving problems.

The thing is your point does not hold at all. It's trivial to modularize and encapsulate and even isolate components with C++. You only need to want to do it. If you don't want to modularize or encapsulate or isolate components then you get what you want. Don't blame the language for the software architecture you chose to adopt for your project.
