> Death is really not quite as big a deal as we think it is, in my opinion.

I can tell you having lost many people in my life, some of them closer than others, this is very easy to say until you're the one doing the dying. Some people accept it better than others. I dont think anyone is actually comfortable with the thought. It's just a gradient of "dealing with it".
Programming languages would be affected greatly. A language like Go would be more popular because of performance of both the compiler and the output of that compiler.

Rust would have a much harder time because its compilation is computationally very heavy and would take ages. Similarly C++ might be much slower to adopt new features because the compilers would just get too slow.

Dynamic languages like Python and Ruby may spend more effort on performance and JIT compilation rather than new features.

Or perhaps those hardware limitations would spark more innovation and breakthroughs.
I think it's okay to make any feature that requires active operation at manufacturer's side a paid operation, such as navigation (if they keep updating it with better data), FSD (if they keep updating the software) etc.

But, making any feature already built into the car that doesn't have an operational cost, paid, should be illegal. Example: heated seats, CarPlay (given they aren't actively adding more features) etc.
Yes I did mean the top 0.1% of men.

I disagree with that the top man can not date more than a few.

A single woman needs a romantic partner let's say ever three months, a man can have one every day. We see this in gay men having 500+ average sexual partners. Gay men can have sex as much as they want, because of access.

Top 0.1% of men can also have sex when ever they want, they are getting constant matches with 6,7,8 level woman. Well below their level, because its easier to get people below your level into bed without courting.

They have sex, he doesn't call her back, she is mad at men for another three months.

A few men can soak up all of the above average woman, considering they are on a bell curve and are rare them self. Only a subset of people are even on these dating apps.

Average looking people don't have this problem, because they are happy with matching other average woman who the top men are not interested in.

Summary: top men can date below their own level because a 7 woman, three below them is still very beautiful. But a 7 man can't date three below their own level because a 4 is not attractive and not worth the time using a app for.
Have a look at PRQL (www.prql-lang.org)! That's exactly what it's aiming to provide.
I always liked miniUSB connectors; they seemed pretty rugged despite having a small size. microUSB seemed like a step backwards; it was smaller (mainly thinner), but much more delicate.

USB-C seems to be significantly more durable than microUSB, and it can handle a really impressive amount of power.
But these other filters are dynamically queryable on the fly. I think all these keys also support dynamic additions. What they don’t support (and neither does Bloom afaik) is removal of a key. For the kinds of typical applications for these, it tends to fit well enough.
I commend your astute observation that the EU is not a free society.
micro USB is 15 years old, mini 17. Just after introduction of mini everyone and their dog tried pushing their own slightly tweaked proprietary variant. There were at least 6 separate incompatible shapes. Sony had one (afair different shield bend on the mini connector), Nikon, Canon etc. It gets better, sometimes same connector had different pinouts depending on the brand https://connector.pinoutguide.com/8_pin_UC-E6_like-mini-usb_... thats 8 different pinout for same non standard connector.

Nowadays only one brand is against interoperability.
Interesting, thanks for the hint!

>they just require industry to set aside pettiness and work out a solution.\

The problem isn't "the industry" being petty, it's Apple, and Apple alone. Everyone else got over their idiotic pettiness and attempts at proprietary connectors many, many years ago and jumped on the USB bandwagon.

They can have a vote, just don't give them veto power like the way the UN Security Council works. Let's be real here: the only problematic manufacturer these days in this regard is Apple. Everyone else is happy to use USB these days and work with each other on further iterations of the USB spec. One vote from a bad actor out of many isn't going to affect anything.
I don't know man. I don't carry that much pain. My life is great and I can tell the tale without suffering the pain.
Software development is creative work. Creative insight can come anywhere, any time. Better ideas can make difficult things easy. And make the impossible– possible.

So the most important thing on a software team (or really any team creating high technology products or services) is an environment where team members feel safe to be themselves– psychologically safe, where they can try out new things, make mistakes, fail, and not be punished or belittled. Say their ideas and have them improved by others, not criticized. It's an environment where team members take care of themselves so they can be creative– sleep enough, exercise enough, be with friends and family enough, play enough.

You have to be at your keyboard or lab bench or whatever enough to make things. But if you are there too much your creativity plummets. This is what I try to get across to my teams.

I hear this a lot. Or that Leopard or Snow Leopard was peak Mac. That part of the debate doesn't interest me.

What does interest me is that pre-Lion software is well understood. The behaviors and expectations and commands are re-implementable. Isn't it time someone just made SwiftUI-Tiger or somesuch?

Ask HN: What's the next evolution of the GUI OS?
Hi, in the past few years I was thinking about the evolution of OS based on GUI. Right now, we have all these windows and menus and lists. And you've probably noticed there is some uncomfortable limitation. For example, when you're working on some complex task, you can rarely feel the process flowing. You need to open different windows or different programs and go back and forth between them, spending time and mental resources. What can be a better solution to this?

What if we remove windows completely? Think about it - when you open a program, you don't actually need a separate window. What you need is functionality! So what if we remove windows and keep only the functionality. For example, you open a .doc file, but there is no separate window. You stay in the same "Desktop", but now you have an open file and functions to work with this file. And if you need some other functions, you open another program - and other functions appear on the desktop. So now you have two different programs working as one! And you don't need to arrange different programs and files on the screen. Because now you can have different programs and files working simultaneously as one.

I think that will be an incredible experience! And it will tremendously increase productivity and improve the workflow. If you're interested or have a comment, let's discuss below.
At this point?

Docker (and all container solutions out there) runs the Linux container in a VM on _any_ non-Linux OS. This is a designed trade-off of using Linux virtualisation and not really Windows’s fault (nor macOS where I do a lot of development and has all the same problems).

My recollection of Bumble is that all images were blurred (at least until you already sent pictures to each other?)

While I imagine having a good filter is important given the scale of online dating I would think all other filters would eliminate most of the problem (auto blurring images if people have only sent a few messages to each other, blur the first image sent, blur images by anyone who has been reported before, etc.)

AFAI recall, this was not a replacement for R-PI or similar desktop computing (IT systems).

That graphic at the top has at least three different fonts and it is chaotic. I don’t see why you would want more than two fonts here. There’s a natural hierarchy in the content, but it’s obscured with graphics that are too clever for their own good, the font sizes that have no relation to significance, and groups that are read in seemingly random directions. The graphic is almost unreadable.
I vehemently disagree, Snow Leopard was the champion.

> But what about security? Are you sure you want to stay on an older version of Mac OS? — Thankfully I’m tech-savvy enough to know what I’m doing.

It's hard to be more misinformed. Ventura fixes 66 CVEs. Monterey 12.6.1, released simultaneously, fixes 3. This is typical for Apple.[0] You are not secure unless you are running the latest public version, period.

Don't like Stage Manager? Don't use it.

And the move to System Settings is just a way to make the Mac easier for brand new Mac users, who are more likely used to iOS Settings.

Far from promoting eye-candy, they've kept building in powerful social, collaboration and productivity features, like SharePlay (Monterey), scheduled send in Mail, Shared Tab Groups in Safari, iPhone-as-webcam, and Freeform. I still have misgivings about Apple Music and Books being buggy, but you can't say they're ignoring pro users.

I don't think that's true, in general, just because I think software engineers will largely be focused on creating end user experiences and custom systems, whereas data engineers will be focused on analytics, reporting, ML, and business operations.

There's definitely some overlap, where companies are producing fundamentally data driven user experiences, such as user-visible analytics or live recommendations. But that's niche.

It seems like these days the requirements are often an underappreciated way to help inform the architecture.

Consider basing your selection of tools on whether they actually help you solve some specific problem or operational goal.

Start with the programming language that you are familiar with. You can evaluate in relation to specific problems whether switching to an entirely different system gives you enough specific advantages.

So first make a list of the important things the program has to do. Try to think of how specifically you might program it. Is there a component that you can bring in that will help, and if so, how? What would the system look like if you integrated that? Is there another alternative that is easier to integrate or will work better? Sometimes you just can't know until you outline or try multiple solutions.

But don't add subsystems just because they seem popular or try to preselect everything before digging into the requirements and starting to analyze how you may implement them.

Don't try to figure out the entire program, just start with the most important pieces. Try to get something working, adding every few days or weeks. And for each problem, look at the architecture and tools available. Keep evaluating components and architecture as you go in relation to specific problems or performance/robustness goals. Some of these things you will know ahead of time and of course should try to consider early on. But be careful because many things you think are needed at the beginning turn out to be unimportant or can be eliminated by changes to requirements.
That's one of the reasons I think being a founder is probably the most freeing job title one can have. There's no single human making judgements about your performance. Instead, the market is the judge.

That way, you focus on leverage and impact, not on "time on desk".

Also worth noting that sometimes there's no substitute to just sitting down and grinding away.
You can sort of use Alfred as an app switcher - by entering the name of the app you want to switch to. The first letter is usually enough (e.g. to switch to Chrome, invoke Alfred, hit C, hit Enter). If you have to cmd-tab through many open apps, using Alfred can be faster.
We used a Qualcomm module for wifi/bluetooth connectivity on an IoT device and the bluetooth just straight up didn't work for a handful of Android devices. We had to wait like a year for a mitigation, since it was closed source firmware. That was after like a 3 month process of actually find someone who would hear our issue.
Yep, you somehow can't drag items into fullscreened app. I sometimes need to un-fullscreen vscode just to drag a damn file into it. This is the most silly limit in my opinion. And the finder always interrupt your fullscreened app instead of open it in other screens. Make it doubly unusable.
Wtf? I just want to move a file.

But i need to.
1. Return focus to vscode because the focus is stolen by finder.
2. Unfullscreen vscode.
3. Find the damn finder window.
4. Drag file.
5. Fullscreen vscode back.
6. Fix desktop order that was destroyed by the un-fullscreen action i did.

Can't you just allow me to overlay finder on it and drag file in???
Lisp was the Python of its day, but more so - one of very few high level, garbage collected languages that were reasonably widespread. In Lisp you could explore data representations and novel control flows (search algorithms, nondeterminism, etc.) without getting bogged down in bits, bytes, and storage management, and s-expressions provided (and still provide) a reasonable middle ground representation for encoding complex structured data that both humans and machines can deal with.
Whenever someone tell me they are so good at excell, usually next I realize they are not really intelligent, e.g. because they are not aware of its limitations.
The title/article is clickbait-y. Data centers normally have diesel backups. The article is portraying information that is completely normal as exceptional due to ongoing circumstances. It'd be far more interesting to learn that Amazon DCs do not have diesel back ups as that'd be a huge deviation from the norm.

Most DC's I've worked on have back-ups that are roughly 2-ish megawatts per gen-set so AMZN is buying enough gensets for 200-250 MW of load.
> The USB Implementers Forum people are partly why we're in this mess.

IMHO it really is. For the first releases of power delivery, the IF decided to _not_ go with Apple's existing system that they developed to negotiate charging levels for iPods, iPhones and iPads. Instead they standardized another new, incompatible mechanism.

If you ever wondered why so many Apple devices and cables don't have USB logos, it is because they were left with little way to be compliant with PD 1.0 and still support literally a billion previously shipped devices and chargers at the time.

This caused a market with incompatibilities between Android and iDevice charging ecosystems, which (again IMHO) was what caused the last round of EU mandates in the first place. Qualcomm and others capitalized on various gaps with their own proprietary charging protocols, which then created a need for their chips in chargers as well.

Things really didn't even start to get fixed until rather recently, with Power Delivery 3.0 and PPS.

A lot of the problematic plastic comes from fishing.

> In my estimation that is uncountable

And? There are uncountable pollutants - why is that an issue? None of those other things belong in the air, in any amount.

> would be creating or maintaining an environment that sustains human life.

So my small campfire where I burn plastic is perfectly fine then? After all the toxins released are minor and rapidly dissipate, so the environment still sustains human life. Your definition doesn't even acknowledge that you can sustain life, but everyone has asthma because of all the particulate matter in the air.

By your definition there are no pollutants. Or at best you can only talk about them in bulk once they reach levels sufficient to kill, but never about individual releases.

By my definition each individual release of something that doesn't belong in the air is pollution. I find my definition much more usable and useful.
When I lived in the US ten years ago some of the luxury dealers (definitely BMW, I seem to recall Porsche too) had these programs where you’d buy a US-spec’d but take delivery of it in Europe. So you’d get exactly what you want, fly to Germany, drive it around there for a week, and then they’d ship it over. There was some reason why that ended up being cheaper than driving the equivalent car straight off the lot in the US though the reason escapes me now. When you factored in flights and other costs it netted out about the same, except you got to spend a week or so in Europe too.

Sadly it always remained aspirational as I never could quite bring myself to justify spending that much on a car I’d barely use.

I strongly agree with this approach.

It will be really difficult for all individuals to share their salaries if some of them are on low salaries and fear not being able to scale up if they publish those.

There's also an intrinsic bias in sharing salaries in that the well-paid folks are more likely to share theirs because they feel validated by the value itself.
You might be surprised the first time, but the next time you see one you'll treat it like any other car, because you're always learning.

These systems separate the learning phase (training the model) from the acting phase, so to do the same as you they need to be able to retrain on new data occasionally as well.
I like this idea, but as a designer I foresee challenges in optimizing what is visible as you add new "functions" when needed. for example, editing a doc, then editing an image to add to the doc. Traditionally each function would live in an app with gui optimized to that function (Word vs Photoshop). Getting these functions to coexist when both are needed would get difficult to display, as image editing has a screen full of tools usually. Not saying it cant be done! I recall Microsoft had a similar idea with OLE (object linking and embedding), where the menus and tools would change depending on what the user clicks on within what is currently displayed.
(See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding )
I'm glad we were able to come to an agreement.
