Yes, that is indeed a common problem. You can run Docker in rootless mode [1], which probably works for 99% of your development requirements. For production it is not always a good choice, as some features may not work properly (most importantly, Docker Swarm) or require extra configuration (allowing to expose privileged ports).

Another class of putatively non- or less-neurotoxic entactogens I don't see mentioned here are aminoindanes, which David Nichols' group specifically engineered to have lower neurotoxic potential. The classic prototype here is 5,6-methylenedioxy-2-aminoindane, or MDAI. It's also worth considering. The other broad classes of potentially non- or less-neurotoxic entactogens which I'm aware of, other than aminoindanes, are benzofurans (which are covered in the article) and substituted cathinones. Imo, all three classes contain molecules which are just peachy :) I recommend (prudent) exploration.
Oh, and I thought that they compile to native code and that therefore the kernel is the runtime …
Yeah, that's it. Luckily it's not actually too hard to remove the ceiling tiles - they're not standard size grid but are drop-in, so nothing has to be cut to remove them and we can have new ceiling tiles made with a non-asbestos fibreboard with an insulation panel glued to the back of it. We'll probably end up removing about a fifth of the tiles in strategic locations for access and ceiling mounted things, because the disposal cost is so high to do all of them. Ideally we could get it all gone but as you said, it's just finding the cost/benefit balance.

If the preference to use System 7-style spatial Finder worked consistently I’d be happy. Unfortunately new media (DMGs, USB drives, network connections etc) still open in browser windows by default. I wonder how many times I’ve pressed cmd-option-T over the years.
Sure but then I have to make sure the commands work well for servers that are already half configured. With Dockerfiles, I can just be naive and write the scripts with the assumption that it's a fresh system every time.
A universal Undo API, with graphical indication of which actions can be added to the undo stack (e.g. file move), and which cannot (e.g. send email).

Nope. I think it was pretty self evident that we were just talking about this guy's opinion piece.

Ummm thats more like preliminary research. It would certainly make for a more interesting article although perhaps a less convincing opinion piece.

While this is probably a large factor in their decision to do this, I wouldn't say that "no one expects a computer to work exactly the same way as a phone or tablet". My parents would definitely say otherwise. In fact, there's been some discussion on HN before about today's kids & teens not knowing how computer file systems work [0].

Obviously the majority of folks on this orange site have a strong understanding of how computers and filesystems work. However, there are more and more people that will grow up fully on tablet and mobile devices that will have a completely different mental model of what a "computer" is.

I guarantee it has been trained on some of my past code.

But it's not like I spend my life simply writing my past code again, and it hasn't been trained on the code I'm about to write, because it doesn't exist yet.

Besides, is that not the selling point of copilot? It's been trained on everyone's code, so it should be able to predict for everyone (for some definitions of everyone)
For it to be powering the grid by the 2030s, there must be a pilot plant producing at least a few MW, at least a tenth of a day, now, connected to the grid.

Building a Lightweight IR and Back End for YJIT
> I can't understand why any company would pay so much money for a software engineer and I especially can't understand why someone would quit such a job.

Imagine how much money can be saved by shaving 5 percent off an annual AWS bill of 10 million dollars. (dont forget to factor in present value of future year's savings!) Now imagine a company like Google that spends way more than 10mil on infra. And even if your infra is cheap, virtually every tech giant has shown that shaving 100ms off a request is a massive boost to customer engagement metrics, so maybe it _shouldn't_ be that cheap. And product teams are just as valuable, if not more so.

That explains the demand. On the supply side, people who can actually do the work are hard to find. There's a massive gulf between having a degree in CS and actually making good on improving complex software. I've watched like three teams fail to deliver on a GSLB[1] optimization tool. Two of the three iterations didn't recognize this as NP complete (bin-packing, essentially) and the third is learning the hard way that there's calculating an optimal response is only part of the problem -- you also have to change state without inducing outages on the receiving end, and a naive SAT solver won't produce that. Beyond that, bay area is expensive to live in, and is high tax. $634k becomes more like $300k, in a city where you might spend $5k a month in rent. So there's definitely a _floor_ to salaries.

Also: once all this is accounted for, retaining talent with equity grants has a side effect of accidentally pushing wages above target. Some places like Amazon seem to explicitly take this into account when issuing refreshers, others not so much. Which means to hire someone away from Google is really hard. But really easy to recruit from Meta at the moment, as their stock has fallen 60 percent so income has fallen as well. Beware of the double edged sword.

We have a big collective blindspot about the implications of order of complexity when you get down to O(nlogn), and to a lesser extent anything in the neighborhood of O(n√n), which is rarer but does happen.

A logn slowdown versus a linear speedup of two orders of magnitude - or more - is a set of lines that don't cross for any value of n any of us will see in our lifetimes, even if you're highly placed at a FAANG. The entire output of data from CERN throughout its entire history is a rounding error compared to n = 2^100.

And the fact of the matter is that long before n = 2^100, all of those constant time calculations we count on in Knuth's model of orders of complexity go from O(1) time to O(logn) anyway, so there is no such thing as an O(1) or O(n) algorithm when you have to represent everything as bignums.

Tell HN: A Demo Day without the investors
When Harry (my co-founder) and I started Trevor.io we obviously needed customers. We'd often bonded over Paul Graham's "Do Things That Don't Scale", so it was a no-brainer that every month, like clockwork, we'd get on that €50 Ryanair flight to London, to spend a week pitching potential customers / partners / anyone who would listen. We tried as best we could to rotate which lucky friend or family members' sofa we would be sleeping on each time, so as not to out-stay our welcome.

One event that we ended up doing again and again was called TechHub Tuesday Demo Night. It was an epic monthly event (first Tuesday of every month) hosted by the most sought after startup co-working space on London's famous "Silicon Roundabout" (yes, us English can't quite fill a valley yet with our startup scene, but we sure can fill a roundabout!). The event was an opportunity for up-and-coming startups to show (not tell) what they had built, and get instant feedback from the community. Importantly, you had to have built something (an app / website / platform / etc.) and, unlike competing events, it wasn't about trying to pitch for investment. It was a welcoming, enthusiastic audience of fellow entrepreneurs, builders and product lovers. Pitching your product here was always a buzz.

Unfortunately, like many other great ventures, TechHub London was one of the unlucky victims of Covid 19. In the summer of 2020 they slipped into administration, and with it TechHub Tuesday Demo Night. We've very much missed it - both presenting and attending - so we have decided to do something about it.

We are pumped to announce that next Tuesday we are launching our very own Tuesday Demo Day with a twist:

- it will be 100% virtual,
- and 100% free.

This means that you can join us from the comfort of your couch. Bring a beverage of your choice and be ready to be give our startups the feedback and advice they need to take themselves to the next level.

We would be absolutely delighted if you would join us (https://hopin.com/events/trevor-demo-day-global).
PHB = Pointy Haired Boss, for anyone else not familiar with Dilbert.
There is a good MOOC on coursera on the topic of learning and creative working: Learning How To Learn by Barbara Oakley (there is also a book).

She talks about focused and diffused mode of thinking. The main idea is that to create new neuron connections (memory or understanding) you've to work hard on a topic - the focused mode - and then take a break - the diffused mode.

By switching modes you help your brain. Of course, you can't just go do something else without working hard first ... :)

Stacker (YC S20) B2B No-Code Platform Is Hiring Product Engineers
Which bible version do you recommend?

I am not trying to agitate him. Rather I am trying to have a logical conversation. I do not understand what makes someone in 21st century believe in a God that is willing to let upright people burn in hell just because they do not pledge alliance to him. This idea of eternal saving vs. eternal damnation by all powerful almighty is so contrary to the ideas I have grown up with.
macOS AND iOS flavor these fairly well with the defaults systems and prefs, but software developers have to understand how to save and restore state properly, and not fight it.

Also, I think complete process state (secured by a kernel decryption key) should be able to be saved and restored. Open I/O file descriptors would probably drop if they represent remote resources, but code should be made resilient enough to reconnect and retry in the event of errors.
The Erlang plug-in does this. It uses the older and well-tested Kerl under the hood, but you the nice UI of asdf on top instead.
I kind of see collaboration as a way to ensure you don't go off on some idea that doesn't align with the rest of the team. In the blog post he mentions that he presents his idea with the team in step 4, isn't that when it becomes collaboration and his idea is potentially scaled back or enhanced?

I've seen brainstorming variants where the team thinks for themselves first in silence in the same room and then present their ideas in form of post-it notes. In the end though, people tend to select the safest ideas, but I feel it also depends on how many "radical thinkers" are really on the team.

A headless OS came to mind immediately when I was reading your post. Let me expand: an OS which does provide a collection of components that can be used to build a UI but not the concept of windows and to make it connect to the hardware it provide the connecting functionality in a headless manner.

I wish there was a little more transparency in the clipboard. When I press WinKey+V, Windows 10 only shows me one format but often pastes a different one (obviously) -- would be nice to have the option to allow me to look into the possible formats I can get out.
I think the state of the literature is a little more complicated than you surmise from Huberman's podcast. For example, note especially their careful wording around its neurotoxicity, as well as the clinical dosing assumptions they make their claims within, which likely differ from those of casual users. As a cautionary example, you should look into alpha-Methyldopamine. Last I checked (which was, admittedly, several years ago), there was not a good rebuttal to its neurotoxic potential. Though this potential is less serious than the neurotoxicity demonstrated by the botched study which injected methamphetamine and said it was MDMA (and was later corrected, but the damage to MDMA's reputation had already been done), I still think it demonstrates that the case of MDMA's neurotoxicity, at least in the way that a casual user might consume it--even sparingly--is not an open and shut case.

That said, I'd love to be proven wrong, since MDMA is great stuff. I hope someone can check the most recent literature on this topic and tell me otherwise.
Half that compensation is in equity grants. Google generates millions of dollars in revenue per employee. The real question is why are Google’s salaries so low? The answer is the same as it is for other jobs: because the labor market isn’t the same kind of market that your econ 101 supply/demand curves model. There is too much information asymmetry and individual laborers’ motivations aren’t all aligned bedsides.
Do you want to point out a specific error in my use of English that's bad enough to make me a hypocrite, or are you just being pedantic for the hell of it? Bright-line rules about what you must or mustn't do are an unreasonable expectation in the domain of creating complex artistic artifacts. But if you know that what you create has an effect on people, and you don't care whether that effect is good or bad, well, I don't see what other possible basis you could have for morality or ethics.

This is barely debatable when it comes to chemical pollution, or building technology that enables predatory businesses, or even mental and ideological concerns like carelessly spreading falsehood because it benefits your political allies. Fiction is not so different, and in some ways just as powerful, just as dangerous. Why is it even a question whether this should be taken seriously?

AI in those days was completely academic, so they used the in vogue academic language. It was a tribal thing—the same way HN gets excited when they see Rust. AI in the 1980s was centered around MIT, where everyone knew Lisp (actually Scheme) from the famous SICP course.

I can't speak to Fedora, but Debian stable runs great. Best laptop I've owned, hands down.

Caveats:

+ Wifi needs kernel 5.19 from backports (USB tether your phone to download.).
+ fprintd (fingerprint) from testing/bookworm.
+ Brightness keys conflict with the ambient light sensor.
+ Power optimization fiddling.

I found answers for all the above on their forums, day 1.

Pleasant surprises:

- P-series chip gets out of my way. (U-series battery life sounds nice, but dev tasks can be jarringly slow. YMMV.).
- Fan is not distracting at full load

Disappointments:

- Fractional scaling. Workaround: bump font, icon sizes in desktop settings.
- SD card reader consumes ~1W idle.
- Speakers could be louder. I believe there's a new module.

Land with olive trees is really not worth selling where I am unless it’s huge (and even then; people have 100000s m2 and no one is interested in it; you have to maintain it because of fire hazard and you cannot build on it). If it has a (legal) house on it then, depending on the state (if it’s inherited it will be almost or completely classed as a ruin most likely as it wasn’t kept up properly), it’s worth more, but still not a jackpot.

If you are poor and want to live here you are better of putting a caravan on your land than selling it for peanuts and not being able to do much of anything with that money (maybe 1-2 months rent). At least working the land will pay you something and you can trade olives for other goods (many of my neighbours live like that).

Most land / ruins won’t get sold at all; people move away to the cities for jobs and just forget about it, or, family feud and they cannot agree; the result is the same. Usually the neighbour just uses it as their own ‘until they come back’ (which often is never).

It is much more than a sticky notes feature set. It is a full blown notes system that allows you to create notes organised by tags or folders. Each note may contain rich text, images, Apple Pencil sketches or just about anything. They are synced by iCloud to other Apple devices(iPhone, iPad). My wife and I both being part of the Apple walled garden, we share a few common notes like “to do for home”, “things to know” etc and keep adding relevant things like screenshots or copy paste important emails. We each get notified if the other adds anything. They are all indexed and searchable.
I would bet that’s how it works, the calls are recorded to obtain more video.

That’s also probably why the second call had the same video, if it was a deepfake they could have had multiple or longer videos.
Long Covid Studies
I think this is part of the art of software engineering, but I have some heuristics:

- What do you need the framework for? What do you not need the framework for? Heavily weight your decision based on the needs you know you have, and not what the tool/framework says it does. They all do lots of cool stuff.

- Use Feynman's strategy: when you run across a new problem, try all your existing tricks on it. When you run across a problem you can't solve, put it on the back burner. When you find some new tool, take out all your unsolved problems and see if it solves any of them for you.

- Trade off performance before you trade off correctness. Incorrect stuff always bites you, performance more rarely bites and usually when it does it's easy to fix

- Think hard before trading off speed / correctness in order to save programmer time. The time it takes a programmer to code something is miniscule compared to how much time you'll lose to deploying something you know is incorrect

- Use a novelty budget. Mostly go with popular tools and frameworks that are at least a few years old. You can spend your novelty budget in a weird db, or new framework if you want to, but try to make few weird choices.

- Use what your team is more comfortable with. People can learn, especially developers, but ultimately if you pick some amazing dependently typed language, and your entire team is java developers, you're going to be fighting an uphill battle that is probably not worth it.

- Controversial, but know your developers' skill levels. If you have a lots of mediocre devs, give them a language like Go or Java. They really will tie themselves in less knots with these intentionally limited languages and there are way more stack overflow answers, etc etc.

- If all else fails, check how actively maintained the thing is, number of stars in github, activity level etc. Really sucks sometimes, but you may find the perfect tool and it's unmaintained. You might think "well, I only need it to do this one thing, I don't need updates" and what is happening is you are signing yourself up to be the maintainer when it breaks inevitably, in a way you didn't expect, 6 months from now.
