I really like Pocket Casts. I have basically used it every day since 2014.i don't really like that I bought it years ago, then they switched to a subscription model and I lost access to the one feature I cared about, which was syncing to their webapp. Always leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and it really made me not want to support any more young companies.
You should always be networking over your career, regardless of who you are…
Obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1285/
I'm working at a small company with about ten employees - realistically max three or four people will work on the styling although a few more will have eyes on it.

We already get massive benefits from it that I wouldn't get as a solo dev. If someone else writes a bunch of new components that make up a new menu and I need to grok them quickly and then start working on them quickly, Tailwind brings the time I need to spend understanding the styling down to nearly zero. It's a massive timesaver for teams of any size.

Yes, you can get some of the benefits with other systems like CSS variables. But not nearly to the same degree, and you'll also need to organize a bunch of CSS/SCSS files besides you main code.

With Tailwind we have something like five small CSS files across a large monorepo that contains several apps.
my understanding is that this hook is the only one, but to properly secure io_uring one has to implement a check for every call here. or just disable it.
The problems I see with the study is that they assume anyone's diet or soap type will change much over a few months.

I generally use the same soap/bodywash for years, and my diet changes are usually longer-term. Yet I noticed that, while I was completely uninteresting to mosquitos before, esp with my wife around, we seem to have been equally tasty in the last year.

So with my personal counter-example, I consider their hypothesis that you remain a mosquito magnet or not for life, debunked.

Yes, I was struck by the length of cooling as well. A year sounds like an arbitrary period, but seems long.

I mean, assuming the glass starts at like 1000 degs, (I have no idea) that means cooling about 2.5 degrees per day. Which I assume means inside an active furnace.

The additional energy, and hence cost of the finished glass but have been massive.

Presumably they learned this would be necessary from the test piece, which presumably cracked at some point.
OP said "Google is specifically known to be using their fonts for tracking users across the web."

I mean... is it?
Exactly, the laptop is the most inconvenient thing, otherwise I wouldn’t mind (and it’s actually kinda cool and a show off). I even got Sonshi style to work most of the time, but it’s not ideal, especially in tight spots.

My reasons for getting HHKB though include sweaty palms, for which very few good keyboards exist that offer relative spill-proofness. I wish more innovation was done in this space, but alas it’s not a huge market.
About his 80s childhood:

> The key point is that he showed me something called BASIC that at the time I assumed was the only programming language in the world. I took to it and followed along with books like this one called the Mystery of Silver Mountain and Hunt the Wumpus, and pretty soon had picked up how to program. I began making my own small RPGs based on Steve Jackson's Sorcery! books.

Why are these articles always about people who already know how to program and they just want to refresh/update/continue their learning?
That's a snarky reading of my experience. As an aptitude test, my "working for it" was my seventeen years of learning and developing cognitive skills leading up to the test.

Can you, or anyone else, say you learned something beneficial by studying for a standardized test? Was there anything worthwhile about it sans the score?
Personal anecdote:

I am a massive mosquito magnet, and I was initially a proper t-rex eating meat every day for 25 years but in the last ten years I’ve been 99% Pescatarian (mostly just veggie but sometimes fish or seafood) and I’m still the same massive mosquito magnet.

My wife was her whole life Vegetarian and she is the opposite of me, not a mosquito magnet.
> I fail to see how the Apple M1 is a SBC.

SBC is single board computer. Why it wouldn't be ?

> it's not like one can get it as an actual dev board.

There is nothing in the term that specifies it is supposed to be hackable dev board. There is also no findamental difference between "laptop built on single board that is connected to peripherals" and "a rPi4/CM4 connected to peripherals".

It was always used to signify "you don't need any extra IO/memory than the board to run the thing". I think term itself came from microcomputers.
Agreed. Managing servers isn't easy, but it's also not going to get you a quarter million bucks a year.
Exactly... I've been using Pocket Casts since forever.

I bought the full featured version and was soo happy... Until they killed it off. Now I'm on an iPhone and Apple Watch and it's ridiculous to pay to subscribe just to be able to control it from my watch. Feels ridiculous.

If they brought back even an expensive, $80 one-time purchase fee I'd be more than happy to support.
I'd strongly urge consideration of a decentralised failure- and surveillance-resistant food distribution network.

I don’t expect an older designer to have that Rolodex because I am an older designer and don’t have one.

I just understand that that is a problem that wishing the world was fair in ways that benefited me won’t solve.

If the OP doesn’t have the Rolodex of people who would work with them again - like me - then it is a problem.

Or possibly a symptom of a deeper issue of why people don’t want to work with them.

Or possibly the result of bad luck.

Or some combination of all that.

None of which “it ain’t fair” changes. Either a person is so good they can’t be ignored or they aren’t. And sometimes what can’t be ignored is a chip on the shoulder.

[edit]

The comment points to reasons a younger designer may tend to be a better hire.

A younger designer might ask “what’s a Rolodex?” and then start filling theirs up instead of arguing about it.

It is easy to work with someone who is still learning. It is unpleasant to work with someone argumentative.

Came to understand that the hard way.
If the stream is delayed such that the previous move is being broadcast as the current move is played, than a cheater would need to communicate with their collaborators in duplex. A transmitter is a lot easier to detect than a receiver. The other alternative would be carrying the entire cheating apparatus on your person, which also presents a larger "cross section", if you will.
What I understand about Tailwind is that it is _meant_ for those frontend developers who understand CSS, and you're essentially writing CSS when you use Tailwind - as opposed to a component library like bootstrap or material ui.

This sentence:

>Now if you are a hacker and are hacking together a website, that is fine. You don’t need to be a frontend developer to write a website, and if that is the case, use tailwind by all means.

Would make more sense IMO if you replaced the word "tailwind" with "a component library"
They obviously go through your medical docs first!

Again, a reminder that the article says of the link between the blood type and attractiveness to mosquitos: "evidence is weak".
I agree with you that a level system creates bad incentives for everyone. But what they do provide is a rubric for the ambitious 23 year old who wants to climb to the top of whatever group he’s in. If you get rid of levels, what’s the new hierarchy for him to climb? If you don’t specify a hierarchy, one is going to form anyway, and then it’s even more out of your control.

If you’re going to say the hierarchy should be based on people doing real work, well I agree, but that is pretty much impossible to measure in groups beyond a certain size.

This groups beyond a certain size problem is the root of the problem, not levels, which are just a stopgap measure to slow the brakes on the deterioration and degeneracy that you find in any gigantic group of people.
I mean is he really your friend or just using you?
> Who hosts your email matters less

With my own domain being hosted by Google Legacy Workspace or whatever they call it, I've been wondering about this, and wondering if there has there any evidence of Google cutting off an entire domain randomly.

To deal with that possibility I've been thinking what the easiest and most reliable way of providing a "failover" for my domain's mail is.

Has anyone dealt with this successfully?
Curiously, the dissertation does not take into account for a comparison POWER and PA-RISC v2.0 architectures that had already been well established by the time, and are «better» RISC architectures in multiple aspects compared to orthodox RISC designs such as MIPS, OpenRISC, SPARC v8 and ARM v7.

One of my personal favourite quotes comes from the foreword to the PA-RISC v2.0 manual[0] by Michael Mahon, the PA-RISC v2.0 principal architect:

> Efficiency also has evident value to users, but there is no simple recipe for achieving it. Optimizing architectural efficiency is a complex search in a multidimensional space, involving disciplines ranging from device physics and circuit design at the lower levels of abstraction, to compiler optimizations and application structure at the upper levels.

> Because of the inherent complexity of the problem, the design of processor architecture is an iterative, heuristic process which depends upon methodical comparison of alternatives (“hill climbing”) and upon creative flashes of insight (“peak jumping”), guided by engineering judgement and good taste.

> To design an efficient processor architecture, then, one needs excellent tools and measurements for accurate comparisons when “hill climbing,” and the most creative and experienced designers for superior “peak jumping.”

Engineering and good taste! – we do not come across those very often.

Its not really the streaming persay its this is TV broadcast tech running over IP.

Its a networking problem, not a software issue. You will have to change the format or be independently wealthy to compete, 1:M will always by nature be a matter of outsized resources on the transmit versus receive side.
I've noticed the podcast Intelligence Matters, all the ads are literally for like the newest Lockheed Martin fighter jet. Surely some of the audience are decision makers about buying those jets, but it can't be the majority of listeners. Granted the host is former deputy director of the CIA, but the content is news of national interest..

I am neither liberal nor white. Not privileged in any way. That’s the construct of your own.

Actually, this is a sure fire way to take any praise of the society and twist it as “privilege”. This creates more tension and conflict, because you decide to evaluate things not based on evidence but presumption and judgement.
pavucontrol is way too restricted for something that can be visualized as a node just like qpwgraph. Anything that requires you to do a little advanced configuration would end up go fallback into command line approach.
I think carbolic acid found in soft drinks and carboxylic acids (there are many of them) are found in all sorts of things (coconuts, goat fat, fragrances, pheromones, etc) but not carbonated drinks, according to Wikipedia.

I don't think the problem is how you narrate it to yourself. I agree you have to stop saying you are in some kind of rut at some point to start acting to get out of it but the reason why that difficult to do when you are in a rut is because unlike in case of "I've got a flat", the end result is not in sight.

Changing a flat has been done a million times so it a known blueprint you can follow, its easier to do such things even when you don't feel like doing it as it requires very little (mental)energy to do something you are instructed to do without the burden of responsibility, consequences and the certain nature of conclusion from it.

Whereas when it comes to your own life, vague steps are given and each of your action leads to some consequence which you have to tackle.
You could face uncertainty in every step.
You can lay down the steps other people take to get out of rut but you can be certain your path and your journey will be different from theirs which is scary and likely to add more stress.

So your point of claiming your power and focus is the real key imo, you gain that which gives you to confidence and the will power to handle uncertainty even when you are scared.

I apologize if this came out very confusing as I feel I could write a blog post about it with my scattered thoughts so its hard to condense my thought process into a smaller message.
Just another embedded SQL engine.

There are SQLite(OLTP), DuckDB(OLAP) and some engine-based project like mentioned Apache Arrow(https://arrow.apache.org/)(OLAP): Apache Arrow has many language implementations, some do not include the query engine(for example, Rust implementation, which depends on the DataFusion for more SQL-like analytics) in its own repo, but other do include(for example, C++).

There is a comprehensive benchmark by ClickHouse for OLAP but including kinds of embedding engines: https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/

The more interesting is that, in fact, we have not an embedded HTAP engine. One of my database products already implements 3/4 HTAP at the engine layer, but unfortunately it's still just a free software, not an open source implementation.
There's no evidence of anti-Jewish bias in Ivy League admissions (the opposite, in fact), and polls also show friendly attitudes towards Jews among the general population, so I don't know what it would take to convince you.

On the other hand, Ivy League students are only 33% non-Jewish white, and 4-5 of the 8 presidents are Jewish, per their wikipedia pages (Martha Pollack is listed as Jewish, but the citations in support of that claim are ambiguous, hence the uncertainty), so what makes you think that admissions are the exception where WASPs reign?
> However, there is an assumption that file I/O will never block "indefinitely"

No, there absolutely is not.

> unless something is severely broken, the kernel will always finish the operation in finite time probably measured in milliseconds at most

Systems get busy all the time and encounter delays larger than this all the time. I have fixed many supposedly low latency systems which incorrectly (as you suggest) assume that local disk writes ought to be fast because usually it hits a disk cache. It's very, very easy to break this assumption, like by copying a moderately sized file.

You cannot assume that a disk write will finish quickly. That is not the guarantee.

> Reads and writes of memory also may block.

Not really, no. There are many orders of magnitude of difference.

> If you really think about it, the only real difference between main memory blocking and disk blocking is the amount of time they may block.

All syscalls take time, but the difference here is many orders of magnitude. If a syscall is expected to take a meaningful (or in the case of i/o, infinitely variable) amount of time we label it a blocking call.

> In fact, memory reads may very well block on disk, if you use swap!

System calls can't swap. High latency jobs will often mark themselves unswappable for exactly this reason, or systems will simply run swapless.

> Given all this, it stops being so clear that async file I/O really makes sense.

No. No no no. This is flatly wrong. You will ship broken systems if you do this and people will have to call someone who knows what they're doing to fix it.

The best you can say is that statistically it won't happen often and maybe your users (or, management) won't notice until it's not your problem anymore.

> But... you can just as easily start a thread in userspace. So... maybe just do that?

Async i/o in glibc was historically implemented as simply a separate thread, fyi (prior to io_uring - I haven't looked in a decade). This is a form of async i/o.
I appreciate the advice, especially reading other people’s code. I’ve never actively done that. You know, like actually seeking a good codebase and understanding how they solved problems. Really great advice.
/dev/root, what is it?

Looking at the device node, when it is there, it is just a symbolic link to the actual device. In this small article, I'll try to cast a some light on this less known aspect of the early Linux kernel initialization.
Well said! It's amazing how much power you can get in a $10,000 server. If you have a simple stack and consistent demand, self hosting makes a ton of sense.
Had to bail when I was coming down a hill while classic/nordic skiing on a trail in KPB - moose standing right in the middle of the trail. Figured it was better to throw myself into the snow off the side of the trail rather than run straight into the side of an adult moose :).

I am fond of Rust, but I suspect it would be a difficult one to start with. If you want to get some wins to help boost your confidence, it may not be a good place to start.

On the flip side, if you have an existing motivation to learn Rust, that could help you to stay engaged :)
The protocol is the same, but semantics in the applications can differ. Secure cookies only working on https to give one example.
Meh no biggie. Might be wrong word choice for what is still a reasonably good point; the choice to publish about an extremely controversial paper that has not even been reviewed? It is, in fact, manipulative. It is stirring drama for the purpose of increasing readership.

When I Google “What is click bait?” I get this definition: “(on the internet) content whose main purpose is to attract attention and encourage visitors to click on a link to a particular web page.”

This article kinda does actually fit that definition. Not with manipulative wording in the title, but with choice of topic and (to parent’s point) highlighting an outlier and lacking representation for the general trends.
Another article I read said they did multiple samples from people and the attractive people were always attractive. They said it rules out soaps and recently eaten food, but I guess "extreme" diets of vegan or carnivore wouldn't change much over a few months.

The study did try to rule diet out though.
You know if your wife doesn’t want kids and that’s now a dealbreaker to you, you have every right to leave. She’s 39, she’ll get over it and young kids aren’t there who will be adversely affected. Yes you’ll go through pain, but <unpopular opinion trigger> having kids is one of those biological processes that is deeply ingrained in our being as you now rightly realize. </>

You can still find someone who wants to have kids. You might go through a bit of heartache with your current spouse unless she comes around. But you’ll get over it and you will have more than enough time to raise a family. And it is your right to do so if you want to.

All the best.

You ever heard a comedian work the crowd where he tells a gender specific joke? Goes something along the lines of “blah blah blah - fellas am I right? Clap if you know what I mean fellas”.

And then all the men in the crowd cheer and clap, and all the women boo. And vice versa if the joke had been for the women.

The two sides enjoy the clamoring.

I’m sure you heard this song:

[ANNIE]
Anything you can do I can do better I can do anything better than you

[FRANK]
No, you can't

[ANNIE]
Yes, I can

[FRANK]
No, you can't

[ANNIE]
Yes, I can

[FRANK]
No, you can't

Is that from a Broadway musical or the News/Internet?

Or a comedy show? Hah, maybe that’s what’s going on.
I lost my SS card 20 years ago and it's never been needed for anything ever.
I was using it a few years ago, but then I switched to Google Podcasts.

I will try it again, because Google Podcasts makes a "pop" sound notification every time it begins to download new episodes and it can't be turned off in the settings. It's very annoying.
Something similar to it happened in 2019. A man became completely paralyzed, but retained his senses. With the help of medical experts, he learned to control his level of brain activity. A computer monitoring his brain activity produced an audio tone which would rise or fall corresponding to his activity level. Soon he was indicating “yes” or “no” to letters. One of his first sentences: “I love my cool son.”

This is untrue for the simple reason that your friends’ employers wouldn’t allow it. Hiring practices based on personal references opens the door to discrimination lawsuits, so every HR department creates objective interview processes that remove such advantages.
I've had the total opposite experience. I've found that any sort of CSS scheme that tries to be clever or have any meaningful amount of re-use becomes an unmaintainable nightmare over time. Tailwind keeps the bits and pieces of the utility classes as close to the content that they are styling as possible, and that _drastically_ reduces the complexity of maintenance. You use the reusability scheme you already have- typically components in some sense, React or templates or whatever- instead of attempting to layer another one on top for just your styles.

In fact, maintainability is by far the #1 reason I use Tailwind. IMO it's actually quite a bit more clunky and slow for the initial styling process.
Glad I could help. Best of luck!
Thank you, this is why I come to HN (facts). Keep fighting the good fight.

Only if you are coding in notepad. With any coding text editor that would be completed, with any ML model (Copilot and co.) this could take less than 5 keystrokes.

By the way, not entirely related, but when testing Copilot when it was free I noticed it was amazing at generating styles for something based on a class name. To the point I felt more productive and more in control than when using Tailwind, Bootstrap, MUI, or any other CSS "framework".
