Sort of.

This dynamic occurs to the extent that there is a widespread monied middle-class that is competing for housing which doesn't exist. Each person needs a home; there are more people than homes; therefore the people bid up the prices of homes to consume all of their available income.

It didn't exist when the monied class was limited to entrepreneurs, VCs, and other capitalists. Back around 2005 or even 2010 when average engineer salaries were $150K instead of $500K and "Silicon Valley wealthy" meant Jobs/Page/Brin/Zuckerburg/etc. and the founders whose companies they bought, average home prices were about 1/3 of what they were now. In fact, the monied class often became the landed class as they traded tech wealth for land. I know one old-money brand-name tech family with land holdings in the Bay Area that are roughly twice the size of San Francisco. There could be 2 million people living on that land; instead there are about 12, because the family in question would rather keep it as conservation ranchland than developed urban area.

It's the same story of commoditization & inflation that economists have known for centuries. When only a few people have money, they have the power. When everybody has money, nobody has money, and the money all goes to people who own the scarce goods they need.
You're right about the backup situation, but I would still say that even just having your personal data in a flat file backed up with OneDrive - which a lot of users probably have set up without even fully realizing - still beats the app-specific cloud for most purposes (both access- and privacy-wise). Just consider the difference that it makes in the mental model of vendor lock-in.

And yes, it may not be that common for people to lose their Google account, but that's really just one failure mode of relying on in-app storage. The provider may decide to suddenly put parts of your data behind a paywall (like Slack just did), or may straight up cease to exist. Even if Microsoft were to do something similar to your OneDrive account, you'd still have your local copy and could change your cloud backup provider with very reasonable effort.
> There's no cabal of greedy capitalists who are purposely holding us back in order to profit off of more misery.

The advertising industry's continued existence and expansion seems to disprove this. There's absolutely no reason most tech products out there should intentionally waste user's time by showing them ads for things to buy when they're doing unrelated tasks, and yet they can and do so because a minority can benefit.
Learning Haskell, just reading through runST and rank-2 polymorphism, my brain exploded, so I just came reading HN and procrastinate a couple of minutes (or more...) :).
Cool, I'll keep an eye on it then. Linking and jumping between notes IS what I'm using to manage my notes, so it doesn't fit my workflow quite yet, but I'd love to ditch obsidian for something that works with vim / in the terminal.

But keep going. The note taking space has made some serious progress in the last few years with things like obsidian, dendron, logseq, and many others, but terminal tools have not caught up yet and I'd love to see more progress there.

It's certainly a hard pill to swallow. I spend much more on food now than I did before being veg.
Yeah, it's a kind of sleight-of-hand or a magic trick- who would spend hours scrubbing the Times Square cameras to match up with Instagram posts? An artist making something like this would.

Magic tricks often operate in the same way, you have some meticulous preparation that can produce a specific result, one time, under specific conditions. If you obfuscate the preparation and people don't realize how specific the conditions are, then it looks like something more profound happened than really did.
I'm a meat eater. Yeah it tastes nothing like meat, but I LOVE the taste of the Beyond Meat burger patty. We make stuffed peppers and put the ground Beyond Meat in it, so so good. I tell people to just think of it as a really delicious vegetable in patty form and not so much a "meat alternative" because it definitely isn't that. If I want a meat-burger I just go get an actual burger.

What else would you expect for setups intentionally trying to preserve past versions of software?
I wonder if shall/will is a problem that foreign speakers of English struggle with? The distinction is largely nuance, but it makes a big difference to me which word the speaker chooses. "Shall" expresses determination, "will" is normally just intention. But "You shall go to the ball" means something quite different from "You will go to the ball".

In spoken English we often conflate them: "I'll have bacon and eggs." It's not clear whether the speaker is expressing defiance ("Aren't you having black pudding?") or simple intention. I don't know how you learn nuance in English speech, but I think humour must be part of the training.
Package repositories were never intended nor designed for anything other than hobbyist grade software. The have never offered any guarantees on the quality of their contents and in fact the vast majority of their contents are freely accepted without review and explicitly disclaim any fitness such as via Clause 15 of the GPLv3[1]:

"THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION."

If the quality of a package is not positively asserted, then it must be assumed to be hobbyist-grade regardless of how others wrongly treat it, how convenient it would be to assume it is not, or even if the quality is high but no explicit positive guarantee has been made to that effect. It is ultimately the responsibility of the users of a package to verify it is fit for purpose which demands either a positive, legally binding guarantee from the package creator or a assessment of the package itself (which would be easy if the quality is high, but no explicit guarantee was provided). To use a package while expecting guarantees on its function when it explicitly disclaims any guarantees is to use the package wrongly no matter how many others may do so and it is a problem with the user of the package, not the creator of the package who accurately advertised the quality of their package. It is the recognition of this fact and the usage of components that have actual guarantees about fitness for purpose that distinguish civil engineering from software development, not the quality of the underlying components; the quality of the underlying components follows naturally once liability is accepted and guarantees are required.

TikTok’s Ugly ‘NPC in Real Life’ Trend
I’m curious if you just don’t follow political news?

The Biden campaign, and subsequently administration’s policy has been extremely limited press availability. Biden has for most of his political career been a known gaff machine; he is a compulsive liar, and will essentially make up stories on the spot which are false. He’s been doing this since the 1980s. I don’t mean this to sound like a partisan attack, and I know it sounds like that to a non political news junkie. Before you make that assumption just please google it. However in the last few years this has gotten extremely bad to the point where many even within his own party have been calling his mental faculty into question.

Anyway, the fact you didn’t know this seems to indicate that the stately of restricting his interactions with the public is working.
It’s much simpler for 290M+ people in the US to move to California. As well as much more difficult for California to stop the US from redistributing its wealth to other areas of the US.

So not really comparable to an independent nation of Sweden.
I think a contrived example. In truth, there is much more likely to be a way of tidying this up with a nice reuseable function like "get_querystring_params" which returns an array and then take the first 3 with a comment like "only the first 3 parameters are used for the search".

Taking a subet of query params smells in its own right so, again, might be a bad example.

I bought a Fitbit before it was bought from Google few years ago, and got quite upset with this thing that despite you carefully trying to stay away from buying things that require a meta or Google account, you might end up having to because of acquisitions, so I had an unused Fitbit , fortunately I guess thanks to karma they had a recall for the watch model I had and I got the full money back, but yeah to hell Google, I guess can say that as I don’t even have a Google account
I heard that nosemeat is in season this time of year.

At least according to the COO of Beyond Meat agrees that nose is the best, when he bit someone's nose after an accident/road rage incident.

Ethiopian is an extremly underrated cousine. Both the distinct but simple taste of the "curries" and the unique flavour of the "pancake" which is traditionally used to eat (instead of cutlery) is a pleasant experience. Regardless of your diet please give it a try!
«Every line does only one thing» - that’s not related to real clean code. And there are bunch of languages that’s OK to have few things on the same line - perl, ruby, groovy, scala and even php.
I think the biggest one for me is less a case of it being missing, more Chrome's implementation being better, and that's the Timeline tab. Firefox not only doesn't implement it natively (redirecting you to a web app at `profiler.firefox.com`), it also lacks screenshots, dropped/rendered/frame durations.

Overall, it also seems less accessible to me. It may well be that it's much more powerful in some respects, but I've never got my head around it enough to work that out.

I do very much rate its Memory Tree Map view, though. Big advantage over Chrome for rapid debugging of where memory goes.
I like this style too, though it can make debugging trickier.
One issue with functional pipelines is that the reader has to keep track of what the types and the data are on each line. It’s fine for 2-3 lines, but it can get non-obvious quite quickly. Assigning intermediate points to named variables can be appropriate, or indeed factoring portions of the pipeline out into separate functions.
Just be consistent, whatever it is.

You had a voodoo5 5500.
“Rule of six” is generally interesting - I came upon the concept when reading the book “Nightfall” by Isaac Asimov as a kid. There’s a line in the book about the number of stars in the sky, and how people can’t really grasp numbers more than 5-10. It got me thinking about trying to visualize a set of 3, 4, or 5 distinct objects without splitting them into groups. I genuinely can’t do it for more than 5 or 6 of something.

I also remember reading about a study where chess masters and non-experts were asked to memorize chess boards. Average people could only remember 5-7 piece locations where chess masters could remember the entire board. But when the piece layout was random (rather than from real chess matches) the experts weren’t much better than the non-experts. It’s speaks to the abstractions our brain creates to deal with limited working memory.

That cumbersome line of python is a good example. As an experienced python person, I immediately found myself giving names to the chunks to understand it.

Overall very good advice. Your code should explain the steps it takes to solve a problem (or in a more functional language, explain the solution), not be as terse and clever as possible. Keystrokes are cheap; thinking is expensive.
I'm working on something similar (minus the kanban aspect) called 'bashtickets'. It started out as a simple ticket/milestone management system that was borne out of necessity for a project on which we only had ssh / no-X access and no root or ability to install most software.

In the beginning it was a bunch of simple scripts, but it managed to carry us for 2 years with proper tickets and milestones. It worked great. I've been revamping it to a more modern command-based interface. Been using the old script-based system as 'dogfood' in the meantime, to manage the project's internal tickets, hah. It's not quite finished, but will post here once it's ready, since there's interest in such things. :)

(happy to post the git.sr.ht link for a sneak "alpha" preview if anyone is curious enough though)
I do not know. But I also am not surprised when people with different economic incentives tell me different things, or even a single person with an economic motive tells me conflicting things to advance their interest.
bzip2 often beats xz for highly regular data, like a big csv or jsonl file. So I usually try both approaches on those sorts of files. For everything else my go to is zstd or xz. Xz usually wins by a little, but is a lot slower. Zstd is great in practice.

Just yesterday I had a file where bzip2 won. I would love to see a modern version with the first few stages of bwt feeding into xz or zstd.

There are testing systems that already use AI to grade essays via a first pass score before passing over to a human grader (who might be overworked). Better to open discuss the AI grader and how it works than act shocked that smart students will game the system.

I looked up the story behind the "Bluets and Granola Bars" easter egg. Apparently, the System Error Handler, part of the boot ROM, used to display a popup that said "Welcome to Macintosh" at startup, before the operating system loaded. However, in System 7.6, this was replaced by a new splash screen with the Mac OS logo, and the old "Welcome to Macintosh" message in the system resource file was replaced with the Granola message (probably under the assumption that it would never be shown). However, if the operating system fails to suppress the boot ROM's popup for whatever reason, the Granola message shows through.
The title itself is cheap click-bait. "This miracle plant was eaten into extinction 2,000 years ago—or was it?" Well, clearly it wasn't if the header image shows somebody today holding the plant, was it? I wonder when will people on the Internet just be able to tell a fucking story by keeping it to the point.
As I commented on a recent similar discussion, these tools can't be used for update or insert. As useful as querying might be, it's terribly misleading to claim to "run SQL" if you can't change the data, since that's such a critical part of an SQL database.
Not sure what you are getting at, but the problem with urban retailers is shoplifting. I doubt that is the problem at "Stub's".

Perhaps a more helpful principle I heard a long time ago was that all methods are either a specific method doing a specific thing (like splitting up a string) or they call a series of methods of the first type. When we mix the two, it becomes harder to reason since type 1 is generally logically complex, so keeping these small makes them testable and readable, and the logic of the high level is more easily encapsulating as a series of DoThis(), DoThat(), ThenDoThat() calls.

If I've only helped one person today, it was worth it ;-)
totally, something real is moving to light vehicles, plastic & oil (almost) free world

for example why do we still sell plastic water bottles, in places where the running water is tested and perfectly good?
What's the concrete concern here, specifically with regards to migrating the account system? If you're thinking that some mustache-twirling villains are totally lying to customers and regulators about how the data will be used, why do you think using a distinct account system would provide any kind of technical barrier? While if you think that separating the accounts does in fact matter for something, just make a new single-use Google account for just the Fitbit data.

Heh, you probably haven't read horror stories from TeamBlind where Google Warsaw was paying like $25k/year... My guess is that the op wants to stay in Poland but work for at least $60k instead of moving to Germany/UK where 60k is a poverty line.

Dupes have more to do with how close they are to each other. The same article posted months apart isn't a dupe, different articles on the same subject posted hours apart is a dupe.
It is not the case that "the search space is just the training data", the search space in NNs are some variants of real multivariate functions. The training data can be all manner of things, in LLMs, they are text in natural language. Graphs or natural language text are mapped from a discrete space to a continuous metric space.

It is true that LLMs cannot currently solve complex mathematics problems reliably. Whether that's an intrinsic shortcoming of transformers, or not is an interesting open question, that is being investigated as we speak. A lot of well-known DL research teams bet on transformers beating humans in mathematics in the next few years, see e.g.

well it does say "was thought to be extinct" right under the photo, which seems to speak to your point.
Disabling the blockers (plural because three) fixed it, so it was either that or that the extra processing pushed firefox over a RAM cliff and into swap, which sounds unlikely. Anyway, we didn't try any more debugging, she just got a new laptop.

I have been thinking about picking up this miniITX, Cooler Master NR200P[0]. Similar form factor that would be completely adequate for a daily driver and could accommodate a sizeable GPU if required. The problem is that the smaller builds are still niche so you have to pay a premium on an appropriate motherboard and power supply.

>guidelines of striving to having functions be ideally 3 lines or less, and nor more than say 7. I have mixed feelings about it.

Dont feel bad about it

Those small functions with hard limits are just terrible advice

When you gotta know functions impl., which for me is very often

Then this approach just increases cognitive load

FWIW, the "NPC" trend is another example of 4chan memes cropping up in popular culture, somehow. Perhaps even more perplexing is that Wojak ('the' NPC) was originally used to demean users of social media like TikTok and Twitter. I'd be really interested to see how the etymology of the phrase evolved online!

Fitbit feels a bit like loss leader for a bunch of cloud services already. "Sign up for our premium subscription stuff" is constantly pushed.

Meanwhile the charge 5 takes ages to sync just to show metrics and doesn't work offline.

It's a cheap tracker that looks good but something is definitely off about the product.
I suspected as much, but I didn't want to be rude. A lot of people are unaware of seasoning and don't really think about why food from one place taste so much better than food from another.

There's a whole lot of seasoning going on with well cooked ground beef. When you go to a restaurant and the burgers pop -- this is why.

The most basic seasoning is salt. Unseasoned beef doesn't taste great and when it's cooked less than ideally often excess condiments are used to make up for the lack of seasoning.

When I cook burgers at home I often mix in diced garlic, a tiny bit of soy sauce, cayenne, msg, and rosemary.
