A simple and concise statement backed by undeniable proof found in monuments around the world of which some modern man still cannot explain as we continue to discover such artifacts as our technology aided exploration expands. My additional comments to this comes from personal experience in this arena in the last decade of my own local discoveries that are directly linked to Native and Paleo occupation on the land of which I live and the surrounding area. Over ten years ago now I found my first artifact laying on the surface behind my house and in that time I have done hundreds of hours of research and well over a thousand hours of walking in which I have discovered many artifacts to date. Several accredited individuals and organizations have visited my location to see my finds as I attempt to get the surrounding areas studied for preservation from what the experts have informed me on my collection. As with anything however someone must take up the preservation battle and while I continue to discover items weekly my professional background is not in artifacts nor land preservation. I'll close with another statement for one to ponder just as shipman05 did: Nearly everything humans have created that is no longer needed either gets buried by another human or by nature in time.
Do you mean for a mid-level engineer with experience, or a college grad like the parent comment? My impression is if you were to try rest-and-vesting as an L3 (junior) SWE at any FAANG firm, you are eventually going to get PIP'ed out. It is very much "up or out" at least to L4 or L5. You may be able to hang around for two years, but then you're going to find yourself back in the job market.

That said if we are talking about mid-level/L5 engineers... then yes, I agree. From a far, it seems very possible to coast for a full 4 year equity grant if you situate yourself correctly, and have a manager that lets it slide.

> When bare-metal Linux is stable on Apple Silicon, it will enable direct comparison of workload price/performance between Arm and x86.

I doubt bare-metal Linux will ever be stable on Apple Silicon, unless Apple changes their secretive and proprietary ways. Linux will always be a year or two behind as Apple releases new things that have to be reverse engineered and supported by the community.
If you asked those cash users if they had a transaction they wanted to reverse they'd all say yes. The non reversibility of cash is a downside to most users, not a feature.
Eternal lockdowns and keeping kids from going to school also has an impact on GDP/productivity.
Yeah, I don't know where I come down myself. I'm pretty tired of the tech thing for a few reasons, although the current job isn't bad.

But for all I hear about people doing well as contractors, I haven't really seen it for myself.
Intern conversions and new hires. Business people see us as cogs, not skilled craftsmen. Skill, in their eyes, is the domain of interacting with - manipulating - people, because thats the domain they excel in themselves.

And while you keep skilled resources, you replace cogs.

Plus, there’s always those who have drunk the koolaide and, despite being seen and treated like cogs, can’t imagine ever leaving the company; can’t imagine their leaders as anything but benevolent.
That is my understanding as well, but some degree of fault is also impermissible and people must be held to account for those kinds of fault.

There are some photos of unlabeled products when you select a specific product to design, however you will need to provide your own label design to the manufacturer (although some can help with this as well).

Our service should actually lower the costs of food products you see in the market, as we have transparent pricing and the ability to quickly evaluate different manufacturers in terms of quality, price, location, and experience.
Pointers are conflated with Option-types in go. Understandably, because go wants to be as simple as possible, has those nasty zero-values as "solution", had no generics for a long time, and will probably never have sum-types.

So, guess if it's a pointer or an Option, and hope that your peers guess the same.
It does, but it's nice to see that software engineering is officially codified by the IEEE :-)

Guardrails for stats are something that I've put a lot of thought towards. The fundamental challenge is that statistics is operating in a world of incomplete information. Statistical measures are almost never monotone with respect to new information, and so any new piece of context might completely invalidate an analysis. Going beyond the abstract requires an intimate knowledge of the domain being analyzed, and the limitations of statistical methods as applied to that domain. "Guardrails for stats" have to be domain- and even dataset-specific.
Of course, the space was not made explicit. With R the set of real numbers, the usual assumption in the physics is that the math is done in R^3 with the usual inner product, norm, metric, and topology.

Terrible user experience. If it infinitely scrolls I can be sure some gesture on the phone will lose my spot and it will take ages to find where I was. Also they rarely play nice with the back button. There is usually a better way to present data.

For reading, do you prefer books or ancient scrolls?
> Old Reddit

Important distinction.

New Reddit also fell prey to bad development practices and is without exaggeration unusable for me. It often "crashes" and the whole page goes dark-grey on my browser, and this has been happening for at least a year. After reloading I can't see all messages without navigating away, and middle click messes with the scrolling. At this point I will assume they either don't care or are fucking with me.
I did the opposite. I went from owning a house a few hundred feet from a river in an area with one bar of cell service to working remotely and living downtown in San Diego. The only things that living in the boonies had going for it were the fresh air and friendly neighbors - my current situation is better in literally every other metric. I have gigabit fiber and the ability to get basically anything delivered. I'm within walking distance of concerts, ball games, and restaurants. I can go to social events and bars without having to deal with townie drama from burnouts that my Dad fired for being drunk on the job a decade ago. I don't have to do yardwork and spend thousands of dollars keeping up a house just to appease potential buyers that watch too much HGTV. I don't have to dodge drunk drivers going down the wrong side of the road at noon on a Saturday (as often, at least). I can walk to the airport to catch a flight instead of driving two hours in traffic and paying for parking.

In short, I have access to a much greater percentage of things that I enjoy on a consistent basis and net fewer chronic sources of unhappiness. It's fantastic.

People from where I used to live trip over themselves to mention the cost of living increase which is definitely a thing (as far as housing is concerned) but as with many things in this life you definitely get what you pay for. Your mileage may vary; if you're single and have hobbies then the whole city vs. country debate is a no-brainer. If you have a family then the preference would probably shift to more rural living for reasons obvious.

Sadly it is accurate. I made it pretty far converting the data to CSV with tabula-java and importing with sqlite.

Documents in question are from https://cases.stretto.com/celsius/court-docket/:

- #973 "Statement of Financial Affairs" 14532 pages. Contains list of transfers in the months leading up to freeze. This is the document in @bitcoinfool's tweet. It also looks to me that this may have been updated to remove the personal data (280MB to 2MB). Haven't looked into it much.

- #974 on page 92 has links to PDFS of "Retail Customers who have Non-Priority Unsecured Claims by First Name". Contains balances after freeze.

The 2084 BTC is in the document that contains balances.
That's a general trend. Obviously it's not going to apply to every case. Usually, reducing mortality is about improving healthcare and nutrition, especially during the period your study tracked (1990-2014). Keeping working age people healthy is obviously going to increase their productivity. This is very different from shutting down an entire city due to a few dozen Covid cases.
How often and what kind of maintenance do these things need? Being out in the sun and saltwater is hard on anything, especially things with moving parts.
iOS has supported Dvorak for a long time for hardware keyboards (Bluetooth keyboards). The new addition is native support for Dvorak in soft keyboards (on-screen keyboards), and even then there were 3rd party apps to try (since the virtual keyboard can be extended by apps).

Speaking of SD, I wonder if 1.4 will be the last truly open release as Emad said 1.5 would release a while ago but it's been held up for "compliance" reasons. Maybe they got legal threats due to using artists' works and stock images. If so, that would be sad to see it.

In a way it reminds me of people who make unofficial remakes of games but get cease and desists if they show gameplay while in development. The correct move is to fully develop the game and release it, then if you get C&Ds, too late, the game is already available to download.

I think the issue with social media is more to do with the way the platform's algorithms drive user engagement than with social media itself. For instance, I find twitter to be quite useful, but making it useful required me to curate the accounts I follow and disable the algorithmic suggestions. A lot of people don't change those defaults, and I can easily see how that could be distressing.
Thank you for suggestion. I'll look into GrapheneOS, from first glance it seems to be something that I need.
The issue for per-site disabling is that the default is "on" and many sites simply fail to work (silently) when they aren't allowed 3rd party cookies.

Obviously this could be configured with a group policy but our IT group isn't going out of its way for a non-preferred browser.

For the TouchID it's FIDO2 compliance - not sure if it's our SSO/MFA provider or FF but... it works fine with Chrome :/

Not to be snarky but if we can't agree these are universal human truths I'll assume you're a chat bot run by the crypto AI I've been talking about...

Also, please stop saying it's new. Bitcoin came out in 2009 - the same year as Android, Venmo, Uber, Square, and countless other companies, platforms, and concepts overwhelmingly positively and safely used by millions if not billions of people every day.

"Ride sharing works the same way, except it's new and people aren't educated about it, so the space is filled with grifters and con artists."

The "it's new" excuse ran out at least half a decade ago.
I don't buy that for a second to be honest.

Modern forums haven't innovated all that much, you have infinite scrolls, notifications and live updates, that's all that I can think of, off the top of my head. If you go on the main page of a modern forum and a Phpbb one they'll be functionally equivalent for the end user.

And even if they had innovated, you can put as big a feature set as you want on the backend and not send 20Mb of JavaScript along with a single request per post and your page will load instantly.

And that's not even going into all the websites which are entirely featureless, I regularly see SAAS landing pages that take over a minute to fully load, that's just to display text and images.

Maybe the stack is capable of being fast and light theoretically but it never is in practice.

This is so nice because requiring the user to create an account is one of the biggest hurdles when you are trying to sell digital content. Ideally you would want the user to start perusing your content as soon as they open your website or app, but you have to make them create an account, because it's better to have that friction at the beginning than at the time they want to buy something from you.

The friction of having to type in a password twice ruins everything. Most people use a single password for everything, likely their dog's name if they have one, the year they were born and 69 or 420 if their dog's name is short, because 8 characters is a lot. Don't even try to require 10 characters, half of your audience would stop trying to create an account.

Ask HN: How did you become better at programming?
I've found that the difference between me and great programmers I've come across in person or online is that they have extreme mental fortitude, get unstuck on their own, and pick up new things with breeze.

Whereas, I find myself going for almost academic perfection (i.e read all docs first) / mastery. Really procrastinate hard when I hit the wall and just hope for things to click. And then just get sleepy when I do start reading code. This means if I'm in my space I'm super productive, but anytime I come across something I don't have an expert level knowledge I come to complete halt.

It took me lot of self introspection to realize this, so if there are other pitfalls that you have come across let me know, I might have them too.

There are around 50 fungi in our guts alone[1].

>Mahmoud Ghannoum, Ph.D., an NIH-funded researcher since 1993, who’s spent his career studying fungi in the body (there are about 50 different species living in our gut specifically). Dr. Ghannoum is credited with uncovering the significant interplay between bacteria and fungi, which affects the critical balance of the body’s microbiome. (Much of this interaction occurs at a digestive plaque wall that Ghannoum discovered with his research team at Case Western Reserve University in 2016.)

Edit: you may be talking about the paragraph "For an atom at rest," in https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_07.html#Ch7-S1

The section starts saying that "We want now to talk a little bit about the behavior of probability amplitudes in time. [...] We are always in the difficulty that we can either treat something in a logically rigorous but quite abstract way, or we can do something which is not at all rigorous but which gives us some idea of a real situation—postponing until later a more careful treatment. With regard to energy dependence, we are going to take the second course. We will make a number of statements. We will not try to be rigorous—but will just be telling you things that have been found out, to give you some feeling for the behavior of amplitudes as a function of time. "
Sounds like a problem with how people get trained, then.
Apparently Apple provides closed firmware and other binary blobs with relatively stable interfaces that can be used by Linux, which should reduce the effort of porting to newer silicon generations. Not great for open-source, but this is also increasingly done on x86 by Intel (FSP), AMD (PSP/AGESA) and Nvidia (GPU firmware).

> Apple have put in a ton of development effort into _allowing_ Linux and other OSes to run on M1 Macs ... There's a whole bespoke boot policy whose entire purpose is to allow this, securely and with user control and consent, with per-OS security policies which even allow you to mix and match security levels. And updates since the M1 launch have gotten more open, not less.

https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1380849768394485763

> The firmware gets loaded first for security reasons (it's also signed like Nvidia's), but the entire boot process is designed to allow third party OSes and at least one person on the team that designed it has said as much publicly ... they invested a significant amount of development effort into _opening_ the M1 platform, down to supporting multiple security contexts for multiple installed OSes, which is something not even Android phones that bill themselves as open have.
A reasonable short (so necessarily lossy) version of what I've ended up believing is:

- policy decisions should be made on a consequentialist basis (which can involve utiliarianism like calculations but is to me most about considering second and third order consequences, with attempts at calculation as merely one mechanism through which to do so)

- personal decisions should be made on a virtue ethics basis

I'm not going to claim this as a Right Answer but this model has proven to be the least wrong / most useful one I've encountered in practice, at least for me.
Tail Hedging Strategies Are Struggling During the 2022 Bear Market

your project is good but it needs some marketing.
I think it’s that most people are doomers and/or are defeated by doomerism. Most people think it’s impossible to build an OS or a web browser (and are told this when they ask for help building one.)

In reality engineering is straightforward, you just need someone to show you how to properly write data structures and algorithms and to break problems down.

Andreas showed these kids this, reinvigorating the web based hacker culture I grew up in. Anything is possible and even if a problem ends up being more than you can handle at least you learned a ton along the way.

Now days searching for how to code leads you to a ton of tutorials about gluing modules together. I feel sorry for young people with that thirst who won’t be satisfied thanks to the commoditization of learning to code.
Don't worry. They are not saying any such thing.

My experience is that poor performance esp. memory use is often caused by bugs, and you can't predict the presence of bugs based on whether or not you think a feature is "bloat". Though you can simplify the UI I suppose.

Turning off random browser features only works if you accept that you'll break random websites and won't know why without debugging each one.
It seems like you -are- crediting MS for bundling a browser with an OS.

Their reasons are irrelevant.

OSs didn’t come with browsers. Microsoft bundled IE with Windows. Now every OS comes with a browser.
> My town library just had its annual book sale which comes from some combination of donations over the course of the year and culling its collection. Depending on the day of the sale it was $10-$20

Yes, library sales are wonderful. Random books at garage sales and library sales are very inexpensive.
My question is, what happens to the books at the library sale that are unsold there?

Our information age with everyone wearing and carrying multiple computers is not doing anything to make particular books more affordable to anyone. If you want to buy a particular book, you have a hard time beating the prices that the huge Amazon consortium maintains. The modern technology has taken over and re-shaped the economy to the point where someone who wants to shop from a large selection of books does not even think about trying to walk into a book store, but the efficiencies of Amazon, et al., have not delivered a bounteous improvement in connecting people to stuff over what the mail order operations of Montgomery Ward in the 1890's and Sears in the early 1900's provided. The promised techno-age economy of mass specialization and mass customization is proving elusive.

> That's actually a useful market mechanism.

There is some question about how one can force fit a competitive market model onto what is going on here. The market in particular titles is so thin that it is hardly a market. I can't sell at any price titles that I can buy on-line at $35 or $50. What makes the odd item worth more? The odd sale at $100 or $150 every few years to the one or few buyers obsessed or wealthy enough to pay that? There may be another possible market equilibrium that our current move-fast-and-break-things system is unable to find, in which twenty times the volume flows at one tenth the price.
