“That regex” makes me suspect that you think that the entire script is a regex. It’s not. It’s an Awk script, with two regexes in it.

First, know that Awk goes line by line. The script is implicitly executed for each line in the input. That’s just the entire thing Awk does, normally—if you want to process files line by line, and your needs are simple, well, Awk fills in the gaps where stuff like “cut” fall short (and I can never remember how to use cut, so I just use Awk anyway).

Second, know that “if” is implicit in Awk. You don’t write this:

if (condition) { code }

You write this instead:

condition { code }

This is like how Sed works, or Vim, except you get braces and the syntax is a bit easier to read.

The code block contains two statements: one function call (gsub) and then print.

So the first regular expression is just “//d ”, with some escaping for the slashes. The second regular expression is “.*//d ”. I do think that someone with basic familiarity with regexes should have no problem understanding these.
Offline map situation on Ultra is complicated. WorkOutDoors + Garmin Explore combination is a decent workaround, but nowhere as robust as Garmin Fenix. Various details may make the workaround no-go for you: do you have access to the Garmin Explore app, is having only a small map acceptable for you, is the battery life sufficient for you, is routing on watch a must have for you, …
That's not what resource contention means. Resource contention means two people (or processes) want the same thing and only one can have it at a time.
I kind of agree with you both. We do ask a lot of our users. But also, there is no A/C system out there nearly as complex as software. It is hard. For everyone. We can do better, but what does that even look like? Consumer level technology consumption is not in a great spot, but it also isn’t horrible. Power users who can get more out of computing will be a thing for a long time to come.
I think it depends on whether you want a career or just want money. I will take money. If at the end of my life, not a single thing I have coded has made a damn penny or been used by a single person, I am perfectly fine with that.
At some point several years ago, Amazon actually tried to compete with Mcmaster and others selling in this niche. They had a sub-site or something like that, I think it was called "Amazon Pro" and it focused on nothing but the sorts of parts and fittings that Mcmaster sells. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as Mcmaster, and it sank (AFAICT) without a trace.
Japan uses the Western calendar pretty much as-is. One addition is the Japanese gengou system of year/era counting, which resets with a new era name every time a new emperor is enthroned (at least in recent years). Most people are aware of and use both the Western and Japanese methods of year counting, though.

The last reset was in May 1st 2019, when Heisei year 31 switched to Reiwa year 1. (Yes, a single year can have two era-based names since the switch doesn't necessarily occur on New Year's Day. Annoying.) It is now Reiwa 4.
I don't agree that's a gross mischaracterization. For reference, the exact wording from Tobi Lutke is:

> Was this surge to be a temporary effect or a new normal? And so, given what we saw, we placed another bet: We bet that the channel mix - the share of dollars that travel through ecommerce rather than physical retail - would permanently leap ahead by 5 or even 10 years.

In other words, it was a gamble that an unprecedented leap in global commercial behaviour was happening. Was there some reason to believe it could? Absolutely. Were the chances still extremely small? Also, absolutely.

And when you're "thinking in bets", as Shopify clearly is, you only risk what you can afford to lose. Other people's financial security is basically free for Shopify (a bit of severance in the worst case scenario).
If it's a bad or average situation, the rational person abandons ship at the first available incremental improvement.

There is an old saying: once is luck, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action. A similar argument applies to people who have past employments of unusually short tenure. Anyone can have a miss and want to move on. Some people could be really unlucky and have it happen twice. If someone gets five years into their career and still hasn't held down any job for more than a year then something is up.

Even if they're the most unlucky employee in history they still won't have the practical experience to match their YOE. They're probably the perfect example of the meme about having five years of experience or one year of experience five times. So hiring that person into a senior role isn't looking like a smart move in any case.

> I also like their parametric search. If you type '1/4"-20 screw', the page goes to the overview of that screw type AND populates the "machine-readable" parameters on the left side with what you typed.

This is something I wish more e-commerce sites would grok. I go to Lowes and type in

1/2" 10-32 stainless bolt

in the search box. Now I get a search result page, with filter parameters on the left side. Great. There's a checkbox that says "Stainless steel". Oh oh! What do I do now? Aren't the results already all stainless steel? I specified it in the goddamn search. If I select the checkbox, will I be filtering out things I want? Can I click the checkbox and remove "stainless" word from my search query and get more things I want? (hint: not usually). Why do I have different choices for screw thickness and thread pitch when I specified them, too? Come on, e-commerce developer-wizards, get your shit together!

Same for you, Amazon! "64GB sd card" and then Amazon's filter lets me further drill down... by capacity. DUHH, I specified the capacity! How can Amazon operate for almost 30 years and still not have this one figured out?
Yeah. And somebody may put up an Open Source repo for doing that 'easier'. But of course, nothing that any average user on the net could even know to exist, leave aside actually use...

I remember going to a flute event in Chicago back around 2000 and in the exhibit hall, there was a bass flute¹ that a few people picked up and couldn’t get a sound out of—later, I was on the other side of the room and someone (who likely had previous experience with the bass flute) picked it up and played a lyrical line on it and it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.²

⸻

1. While called a bass flute, strictly speaking a bass flute should be called a tenor flute as it sounds a fifth below the alto flute which sounds a fourth below the concert flute. The piccolo plays an octave above the concert flute and there are intermediate flutes pitched a fifth above the concert flute and also a whole tone above it.

2. At the time, a bass flute seemed an improbably expensive instrument that I could never afford to buy. It occurs to me that now that I’m older and more financially secure, I could conceivably afford to buy one and learn to play it.
Came to say this. They operate under the same rules of physics; it should just be as likely that their planetary motions and cultural history will also force them into weird counting systems.

In software, sure, reasoning from first principles is likely to work. With older traditions, it could just as easily lead you to just-so stories and other false explanations, such as the endless number of false etymologies which make all seasoned linguists deeply suspicious of any cute etymology, especially one which could be used to make a point.
>There is, as it happens, an easy way to determine once and for all whether Paul Doerr committed those murders. When the Zodiac killed his last victim, taxi driver Paul Stine, he left behind several bloody fingerprints (which, it should be noted, have never been linked to any of the other suspects). Although the San Francisco Police Department did not respond to numerous requests for comment for this story, it should be a simple matter for someone in the cold case division to pull Doerr’s own prints from the Military Service Records Center and do a comparison.

What the fuck? There's an article, and even more so, a book, about this guy, and nobody bother to do this yet?

My favorite apocryphal explanation for the origin of the term "black friday" is it's the first day in the year retailers are in the black. I wouldn't be surprised if Shopify follows this pattern, too. You really need to look at YoY numbers for them.
no I did not say that .. and Huey Newton is complicated by social interactions and media attention over time which changed the man and changed his social surroundings. There is a knee-jerk crowd that rose to his defense at the time, as it is happening now in these comments. "revolutionary" was not a coincidental term.

Job hopping has a high ROI early in one’s career, but becomes a negative ROI in the later years.

In the first few years after college it’s not a big deal to change companies several times in short succession because you’re not really a key player in an organization.

Once you reach the leadership and middle management roles, job hopping means you’re never really staying at a company long enough to establish yourself and to own the long-term consequences of your actions. It’s very easy to come in, make a mess, and then leave before any consequences catch up to you. It’s much harder to stay and own things for 3 year or more.

> Also a good callout that this is extra true for senior roles where it will be more complicated to replace a short-tenured leader.

Well said. It’s not a big deal if one of several similarly qualified developers rotates out of a team. It is a bigger deal if your teams have a new leader every 12 months because you hired people who can’t stay in one place very long. Even as an employee it gets painful and worrisome when management is changing over frequently and nobody really knows why.

How many times have we seen “Ask HN” posts where people complain that they’ve had a new manager every 12 months and everyone comments that it’s a red flag? As a company, you can’t afford to hire flakey senior leaders and managers who have a history of disappearing the second someone offers them a slightly higher salary. Keep them compensated, of course, but there will always be recruiters hunting for someone willing to jump ship in exchange for a $10K signing bonus.
On the other hand, the percentage of murders where they actually close the case keeps going down. It's a weird world we are living in.
What about it? Someone with an option actually paid money to exercise it. They actually loose some of their own money based on their own decision.

Someone with an RSU they thought was worth $300 when they negotiated and thought it would be at $600 by the time it vested and they could sell it now only get $100 per RSU they actually sell.

My answer to "What about me"? Well boo hoo!

Random internet search yields and example on blind:

FB offer $185k base + $200k RSU/year = $385k total comp

Let's apply your 300/100 example. So the poor guy "only" makes $185k base + ~66k RSUs. IFF he actually sells.

The author really seems to be getting ahead of themselves, imagining that environmentalist corporations would be making massive investments in ending climate change if only those darn progressive activists would get out of the way.

Please point me to these corporations and point me to the activists against them.

At the moment I'm not aware of any such eager corporations ready and willing to throw money at these problems. Not in my country, where the energy companies are heavily lobbying the government to be able to pump more oil and gas and to build more pipelines to sell it around the world.

Absolutely there are heaps of old 70s era environmentalists that are weary of nuclear power, but this entire issue seems hypothetical and made up in the authors head.
Well,

South Korea Says Interpol Issued Red Notice for Terra’s Do Kwon
Honestly, not really. They want the project done sooner, and McMaster is a means to that end. The supply chain team can find a better longer term vendor later.
Both the qualifiers const and volatile were new in ANSI C (which became ISO C89). In fact I believe the idea of type qualifiers in C is imported from (pre-standard) C++, thus it's Bjarne's fault.

The general idea (if we force the optimiser to emit the memory access then we can abuse that to do MMIO) is older than ANSI C and as I understand it begins when peephole optimisers begin to first make the "obvious" trick not work in C compilers, but I don't know when it became the volatile qualifier.

As in C++ the correct fix is to use dedicated intrinsics. JF Bastien wrote up C++ intrinsics for this as a template, obviously the C intrinsics would not be a template, but the general idea applies. In reality your hardware does not implement crazy nonsense like a 196-bit unaligned non-tearing memory fetch, so you don't need customisable intrinsics.

e.g. maybe C gets __volatile_load_64(ptr) and that's 64-bit aligned fetch from the address in ptr, there would be a handful you actually need for 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, maybe 128-bit, loads plus stores and perhaps implementations are asked to offer any special cases for their platform, I can imagine unaligned 32-bit is plausible on x86 for example, maybe some DSP has 24-bit, that sort of thing.

The idea is the intrinsic emits the same CPU instructions which are what happens for volatile access today, but as intrinsics they don't give the false impression you can do other stuff, this isn't really memory even though the CPU instructions are memory access instructions.

> The NTSB housed the 95% reconstructed fuselage

To anyone familiar with the CIA's behaviour over the past half a century or so, that says "the CIA discretely disposed of the 5% of the fuselage that did have obvious traces of missile damage". We don't know that that's actually true, but that's the level of trust the CIA has earned.

I found it amazing in Tokyo that you could look up on Google maps a really complex set of interchanges to get across town and all of the timings were just perfect. If it said 35mins to get somewhere it would take exactly 35mins and every train Google suggested you’d be on you’d make. It really did feel like magic that everything including walking distances and punctuality were so spot on. It did make it difficult to give reasons if you were ever late!
Looks like an opportunity to make something as delightful and lower the prices.

I think my favourite thing about this is 'horizontal' orientation. That's such a small thing that makes a big difference for people learning and not having to re-orient what they're seeing on screen with the guitar they're holding in their hands.
True enough, my mistake! I was only looking at the Roman time period and didn't realize that the calendar shifted back to starting in March during the Christian era. That's really interesting to learn!

My main point is still the same: Caesar's calendar started in January and he was following the order that was current in his day. We do not know when the switch from March to January occurred. There are multiple stories about the switch (the supposed dates range from 750 BC to 153 BC), and there are legends of a 10-month calendar that didn't include January and February at all, but there are no extant contemporary records describing the switch.
A blackout is not just "someone shutting off your lights". It means the grid is down. And to bring the grid back up, there is a lot of effort (and energy use). If you're lucky the part of the grid with problems is just separated from the rest, but if you get 2-3 zones separated, you might end up with islands and then it will take hours and maybe days to bring it back up. Bringing up the grid from a blackout might not be possible/hard with a majority renewable power in the grid - the power source is just not reliable enough, for example the wind might stop blowing when you need the power to connect with the neighbouring region and obtain frequency sync.
Think of it like ML at the human level.

ML's entire thing is statistical correlations that aren't obvious.

Tradition is probably operating like that as well. Is all tradition like this and useful? Of course not. But I bet a lot of it is very subtle and nuanced.

It's also worth considering that there are other pressures. For example, women typically find circumstanced penises more appealing. It's very possible that pressure, coupled with the benefits, helped society land on it more than not.
