That's an odd take. Studying art, like studying any subject, is a great way to be exposed to new ideas and fresh perspectives, which in turn informs and inspires one's own creativity and understanding.

Weird to see Joel on HN of all places. If you didn't watch the video, he says himself it's probably a fluke and that he's not upset by it. The title itself is in quotes for this reason.
Arcnet was really widely used-- in fact, it's still somewhat used in industrial control systems. Compared to Ethernet it was extremely robust and somewhat less expensive. Although it was a fair bit slower it tended to hold up better under load.

I've probably still got some ISA arcnet cards kicking around in a box someplace.
No it doesn't, what? How do you think learning works? I couldn't remember what 7 times 6 was on my 4th grade test and now it's impossible for me to know it. I get that it's hard to see because it's so normalized but it's ridiculous that our education system is based on fixed time intervals. God help someone who needs to take a little more time on the material before mastering it, guess you just fail. And when we create a system that punishes anything less than perfect forever we end up selecting good test takers rather than good doctors.
Yeah, and COVID is likely going to explode again this winter like it did last year around the holidays.
He is a godfather to a relative of mine and there was a wedding where we were not sure whether or not he would make an appearance.

Luckily he didn't. I say this because the wedding had the lucky couple as top billing and did not need to have the cameras focused on one of the guests. It was their special day, not his.

Everyone thinks that they know him, whereas he does not know them. This skews things and I think that it is this that gives the appearance of a 'freakish memory'. People project what they want onto him and have made up their minds about him already.

Those of us that write code know how hard it is. With Paul McCartney he can meet up with a friend, bang out some ditty in minutes and sell that by the bucketload. As much as I might mock 'The Frog Song' and such, I don't have the chops to do better. Yet compared to the effort to write code, I do not see 'The Frog Song' as in the same league of endeavour. I am not saying it is easy, but then I am.

Personality is a 'skill' and the likes of McCartney can hold a stage with an audience of thousands and no material. He can work that crowd, raise spirits and make everyone have a good time. These experiences are practically faith healing and, again, people read things like 'freakish memory' into this.
I didn't say "more democratic". Democratic enough would be closer to the thinking.

And if you have any real insight at all into how the CCP internals function, do link a source. Because as far as I can tell nobody knows. It is very opaque. I have only been able to find low-quality guesses and what may be well intentioned but is functionally anti-China propaganda.

I wouldn't want to bet the farm on it, but for all I know they might be extremely democratic internally - similarly to how the UK is a model of democracy despite having an overt monarchy and system of nobility.
Don't. The ergonomy of such a mouse was so bad you were better off using a trackpad anyway.
> Popal’s remarks came after IDC projected 13.5 million folding smartphones will ship during 2022 – 1.1 percent of the total 1.352 billion smartphones expected the ship this year.

> IDC predicts compound annual growth of 38.7 percent across all foldables between 2021 and 2026, but even that impressive number will mean just 2.8 percent market share in the latter year.

even 1.1% seems too big judging by reality around me, I'd say market share is more like 0.1%, 2.8% prediction for 2026 seems more realistic
These are not only the differences of designer, but also developer/worker.
Perhaps, although I'd stil be interested in hearing why you think that is. I can't think of any examples of people moving right because the left was too nice.

My observation has been that orthodoxy and too many causes has alienated a lot of people that were traditionally aligned with the left.

In the UK a recent example would be the collapse of the red wall. Constituencies that had been held by Labour for up to ~80 years flipped. A key factor was that the working class in the area felt that Labour was no longer interested in representing them, with the focus having shifted to social justice and right wing press latching onto this as an angle of attack.

> Since you are so thin skinned and humorless and just have to have the last word

Projection much? You couldn't handle a joke I made after you made a political joke not relevant to the article. Then you keep posting walls of text with name calling.

> then why don't you go through and explain each of your other posts I linked to

You're barely listening to me now. How am I supposed to "explain" my posts exactly? You can read the context and my posts and if you have questions ask them.

> especially your many posts that were downvoted and flagged for violating Hacker News guidelines?

Anyone can downvote or flag a post, it doesn't mean it violated guidelines. Generally it means it was an unpopular opinion (here).
The world needs more content like https://www.youtube.com/user/USCSB/videos -- informative without being gore-porn.
Humans are more than capable of writing programs that exceeds the most elite humans in the world, such as in go or chess. In nature we find creations exceeding creators all the time, so we shouldn't really be too surprised.
My main concern is that perhaps there is an "attention threshold" on fundamental breakthrough results in physics and mathematics, and that we're diminishing the chances of ever getting such results again because theorists don't have enough attention to spare. If you spend all day writing grant proposals and trivial papers (just for the sake of publishing), then go home and veg out on Netflix and Twitter, when are you supposed to have that quality "sitting and thinking" time?
For acronyms, often enough yes. It separates the acronym from the pluralization, making it clear the "s" isn't part of it.

Highly recommend fly.io as well; I started an elixir app for a client and decided to use fly.io and very impressed with how easy it is with the feature set so far.
That's a handy feature. I have in the past favourite a thread more so for a the comments (book recommendations are a common one) than the actual article.

Pretty much the exact same features, for a fraction of the price.

> oh yeah it's nice, as a tourist

See, you admit it yourself - you went as a tourist. Thus you have clue how people actually live, how happy they are etc. Europe is cca 30 very different and diverse states and you clearly saw tiny fraction since what you state is simply not true in quite a few.

For my case point - I've lived in US, LA and Maine. While I loved common folks for their openness, the system is utterly fucked up for me and I would never want to live and raise my kids there, regardless of paycheck (which as I stated is useless measure since its not what you save if you actually live and manage to get old). Also - high criminality, police state and messed up jail system, workoholism attitude, effective class system based on career/income/wealth. And so on.

Since you don't react to that use of your tax money to wage wars and killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents I guess you don't care about that at all.
It reminds me more of Kevin Spacey's character from American Beauty. After quitting his job in advertising, he takes an (explicitly) non-managerial job in fast food: "I'm looking for the least possible amount of responsibility"

> Despite the licensing drama and general distaste most distros and Linus have/had for ZoL, the Linux port had sort of become the de facto "standard" for ZFS development, with more work being done on that version of the source tree.

This actually happened because of one feature: ZFS encryption. That feature was developed for ZoL first, and had to be ported to other platforms. The developer of the feature for ZoL did not want to write it for Illumos first and port it to Linux later.

The consequence of that is that the Linux port got its first significant feature the others didn't have, and there was no real assistance to bring it into the other platforms quickly. That led to a bit of a political mess where the fallout was the "new" OpenZFS codebase where Linux and FreeBSD are maintained in one tree.

Source: I observed the whole thing while working at the place that wrote ZFS encryption for ZoL.
In a Bandcamp-like platform, the NFT would be a proof of purchase. When a user purchases your digital NFT album, they can at any point sign a message to get a link to the MP3 or FLAC files.

In a Patreon-like and Kickstarter-like platform the NFT might be used just the same, as a proof of purchase to access special content. Or, it could be used as a token or badge of appreciation, such as for being the first patron or a 1-year-continuous patron. The same way GitHub profiles show achievements and who the user is sponsoring.

In digital art platforms NFT is as it is already being used: certification and scarcity.

There’s other applications like streaming payments with vesting schedule:

Tbh it felt like EOMA68 ran out of money due to constant Yak shaving.

For example, instead of sourcing a stock of the increasingly hard to get DDR memory chips, time and money was spent on designing a completely new 3d printer based on new mechanics for printing the laptop parts.
No commercial printer was good enough and neither was any 3d printing service.

Due to the time spent on thimgs like this more and more parts went obsolete and manufacturing became harder.

Still waiting for my EOMA68-A20 card that runs Debian.
> When PHP became common and cheap most people moved to server-side inclusions.

You don't (and didn't) need PHP for server-side includes. Apache has had them forever. A lot of cheap hosting is LAMP stack, so has PHP available, but you don't need to use it to get SSI.

I have a rather unique situation, where Master's degree is worth it:

I wanted to move to Denmark from an East-European country, in the hope of a better life. So, I enrolled at a university here (at a "famous" one though), so I could be accommodated in a dormitory where I pay half of what I'd pay in a rent. I also can network at the university, but to be honest, it's not going that well as I planned, I think because I'm a really introverted person and I'm getting only well with other people from my country.

So, being enrolled at a university in Denmark, I also get SU (scholarship) from the government, and for it I only have to work 12 hours a week and that's all! That's a big help. Because of this, Danish companies are open for the cheap, part-time workers so it's easy to get a part-time job, where you still get paid moderately well. With the scholarship, it's a pretty good deal.
Maybe there should be an entire pre-med degree. Or at least half of it, fully focused on the subject. Some other countries just straight up admit to med-school and those who don't pass examinations end up doing things like chemistry, and rightfully treated as such students.
The central bank is not in charge of the economy.

They are servant, not master.

Unfortunately that 'Friedman rule' belief relies upon there being a fixed amount of money and a one-to-one relationship between money and stuff. There isn't a fixed amount of money. There isn't a one-to-one relationship between money and stuff. Money grows and shrinks depending upon the transaction requirements of the real economy.

A Full Liquidity rule, on the other hand, allows the government sector to adjust its taxation and spending positions and reduce the level of taxation required in a full employment environment.
That specific SQLite test suite (one of four [1]) has loads of generated SQL queries, and a long tail of more varied hand-written tests. That 95% of the test suite will be mostly generated queries that follow the same basic pattern of joins and projections with basic arithmetic and comparisons. See for example [2] and [3].

The generated tests are not designed to test a wide breadth of features of the SQL language, and passing them with a simple engine is very doable. A lot of the value of these tests is that the sheer volume of queries tends to find obscure problems in optimizers that would not easily surface otherwise. That is of course not a problem in a simple engine that does not have an optimizer.

One of the best alternatives I found is using dokku with a cheap VPS. Dokku even has herokuish buildpacks and supports (automated) deployment of docker images etc. On top of that dokku is open source with a very helpful community, total cost: 0$.
Not looking back at all.

I am using Coolify (https://coolify.io), an open source self-hosted PaaS which is a relatively newer kid on the block compared to Dokku and CapRover. I tried both of these and I just didn't like how they were, always had some problem or another.

In contrast, Coolify has a great GUI that abstracts away the most common things about PaaS hosting, like connecting to GitHub automatically for git push deploys, SSL certificates, reverse proxying and custom domain support, and best of all, having support for Heroku style buildpacks as well as Dockerfiles. I've been quite happy with it, the creator has a Discord and responds to issues very quickly.

With regards to non-self-hosted options, I did try out Render, Fly.io and Railway but I found that their free servers were too anemic. I was compiling a Rust backend and it simply could not compile on their free servers. On Hetzner, for 5 bucks I could get a 2 AMD vCPU and 2 GB RAM machine that was sufficient to compile my Rust apps in a way that the non-self-hosted ones were not. I have a JS frontend app that works fine though but I wanted to keep everything under the same VPS, plus I can run other types of self-hosted services on it too, like Plausible analytics and a Ghost blog. I'm not sure if those are allowed on non-self-hosted options.

All in all, it costs me 5 bucks a month, and I never have to worry about sudden upcharges for traffic à la AWS as in the very worst, my VPS goes down for a while. I'm now running about 20 different services on this 5 dollar box including databases and applications as well as other services, works just fine.
>But creating a free-for-all would make platforms intensely toxic. The moderation that platforms do do is both arguably both insufficient and also the only thing making some platforms tolerable.

They did not need to make that last sentence so clunky.
All stocks are somewhat correlated. When the market overall goes up or down, it drags all the stocks along somewhat. When investors get more confident in the market overall, they also get more confident in each individual stock. See this example of Microsoft and Ford[1]. When the companies are so similar like Lyft and Uber, you'll of course get even more correlation. But Lyft and Uber differ beyond just May. Since June 1, Uber is up 16%, and Lyft is down 24%.

Ask HN: How to find what I am really good at?
In the past years I've been quite diluted in my personal and professional life. Changed several jobs, and in my hobbies, I am jumping from one project to another. How do you stay focused? How do you find 1 thing you are really good at and stick with it? Is there a book or a blog teaching this? Although, it seems quite trivial, for me this is a huge live hurdle. Any tips are highly appreciated!
Ask HN: Pricing Grid

GeoDNS is a technology that allows you to point web users to a nearby server. That's great, but you still need to coordinate each server. For instance, if you have distributed app servers and a single database server, you still have long distance communication/slowness whenever you need to run database queries.

One solution to this problem that Fly provides app-level support for is to allow you to have a fast local read-only copy of your database on/near each server, so that only inserts/updates need to run remotely. Your regional copies basically fail whenever there's an update, and Fly's platform re-runs the request on the leading webserver (which replicates the update to the regional database servers).

How well does it work? Never used it. But it would save you the trouble of having to notice the problem, come up with a solution and then implement it.
The way to go is either caprover or pure docker - compose (deployed from a git repo) on Oracle free tier.

Mine's not my main computer, but being a standard x64 on Windows computer with both a network jack and full-sized SD card slot, mine gets plenty of use as my hangar computer. It's plenty powerful for reading PDFs & wiring diagram spreadsheets, which I sync locally via Syncthing to/from my NAS. And the two aforementioned ports are necessary for updating my avionics, but pretty rare these days without extra dongles. And while it's old, the T-series is decently rugged, so it'll probably survive a fall, perhaps with superficial scratches.

All in all, totally worth the couple hundred dollars I paid for it off-lease in something like 2015.

Speaking of music and memory..

A guy named Hilly Kristal ran the famous nightclub CBGB's for something like 30 years. My band was lucky to play there a few times in the '80s.

It was said about Hilly that he remembered every single band that ever played at the club. Years later I ran into him on the street and he immediately recognized me. Not only that, he asked how every member of the band was doing by name. We were never famous or anything, he just had this love of music and musicians and a steel trap mind for these details.
