I agree. Here in Finland the public healthcare organization in capital region and surrounding areas chose Epic as supplier of their new system. It has been a disaster, massive complaints from doctors about how unproductive it is to use, and also some issues that endanger patient safety. Apparently it's also programmed with MUMPS, which doesn't exactly sound a great idea in 21th century.

I'm not sure whether this choice was a case of incompetence or corruption, but the end result is clearly a giant waste of money. Maybe it generates a lot of data, but efficiency would be way more important for an organization like this which is chronically underfunded and staffed.
I agree it is almost certainly related. In that a lot of the reporting on rise of productivity that came at the beginning was just as explainable by noise as the current drop is.

That is, I can't rule this out. But I would also not bet against reversion to the mean. Such that the actual waterline on productivity is probably not known, just yet.

Science is political is just saying that what gets researched is influenced by politics

Yes, that is a problem. As explained above. But the people I'm referring to (who not only exist, but in large numbers) are the ones that insist "everything is politics", presumably with science included in everything.

A use-case that I've wanted this for for a long time is to have build phases. `make install` should build things if necessary; but it'd also be great to have it build everything before it installs anything.
As a mathematician with a passing interest (read: no results or publications) in knot theory, yeah, we're nerds and proud.
It's never that simple. If it were, that's how it would turn out to be and in some places it is. Just one example why it's not that simple - you might have an ad running for a role with no seniority attached. You're open to all seniority, because you need all. Do you open all three ranges in the ad, in the convo? It might be that simple but it closes the door to another convo which might be, after you hear out the company's needs and present yourself, you might offer to jump to the occasion and offer an extended role of yourself above what you were before (a step up) and ask for more. Now what? There's no room to go either way anymore in negotiation but down from the top of the budget.

There's no black and white, fits all, thing. Never is that simple. The only fair thing I saw so far is along the lines of if there's any indication that company is decent and you're interested in a role, if you pass a filter to get a call: do the short intro about the company and the people and the role, do the short intro (after company intro, that's important because you can tune your self-presentation) about yourself and then go a bit back and forth on the expectations from both ends, including financials. If all things are aligned then you proceed forward. If there's no talk about financials on that call, not worth it or if there's no indication there's an honest answer we have to see since we're talking about outside of what we initially even asked for but here we are - offered more. Getting low-balled there, in such environments, is hard since the day you start you get to feel and know that you, indeed, were.. and what did company accomplish with that then? Nothing good. Overall, that's about half an hour or so IF there's indication that company has good reputation. If not, or a startup, or you're just shotgunning it across to get to the high score (and hopping) - there's no help, it's a gamble where number indicated will help but will also close a lot of real good opportunities.
Do you have numbers for the claim that this behavior doesn’t incentivize sign up? I’d guess that for most folks it indeed does — at some point you get annoyed enough to go through with the sign up process. These sites never log you out so it’s a one time thing. I personally am not inspired to sign up in these situations but I’d guess the numbers show that I’m in the minority.

If you ask questions on the developer.apple.com forums, Apple engineers often answer them directly. At least that has been my experience.
The problem is that you've optimized time savings for the cheapest people for a hospital to employ at the cost of time spent by the most expensive people a hospital employs, eliminating a handful of cheap jobs while making the expensive jobs both less efficient and happy.
First amendment rights are defined as a restriction on the government, not any criteria of the person:

>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It doesn't say who is allowed to speak, just that the government cannot interfere. (The fourteenth says that they can't interfere through third parties either.)

So this conspiracy between the DHS and tech companies is unconstitutional twice.
Does even that work? They're saying if the company has any jobs that could be performed in the NYC—even fully remote jobs—they have to post salary ranges for all jobs, as I understood it.
In my opinion -- and I have no hard data to back this up, merely some limited personal experience -- the biggest issue employers will have about salary transparency is that it makes paying high performers high salaries more difficult.

Typically having a high performer on staff is a huge win for the employer. E.g., at one previous company, the top couple sales people were 10X performers compared to the median sales person. And they were compensated maybe 5X the median. A disgruntled employee found and leaked a document that listed everyone's compensation -- and the negative feelings that were generated towards the company and towards the highly paid sales people was profound. Part of the issue is that the 10X sales people did not necessarily work 10X harder, they just had the right set of personality traits, industry experience, and je ne sais quoi that made them able to bring in more and bigger clients. But many people feel intrinsically that compensation should be tied to effort and to those people it was upsetting to see coworkers who did not necessarily put in 5X more effort get 5X more money.

Edited to add: to be clear, I do not personally have a problem with pay being tied to results instead of to effort, but I saw first hand that many people have a different opinion about this.

There's a difference between opinions and facts.
It goes to federal court and the court makes a decision that states (or cities) cannot regulate each other and strikes down the laws requiring contradictory actions on entities which cross state boundaries. Too lazy to google references to similar decisions, I believe a landmark case involves shipping with either trucks or trains with states having conflicting requirements.
Show HN: Stable Diffusion implementation in Rust/libtorch

Any "real" assembler has to support forward references, otherwise you couldn't even jump past the initial data section, except by using an absolute address!

30 years ago was probably the only time in my life I wasn't really programming. But 40 years ago, programming (for me at least) consisted of going to my local library, bringing home a computer magazine, then manually typing in the lines of codes to run BASIC programs. Good times!
There are two approaches to dealing with fingerprinting I've seen. The first is to hand over a ton of data to fingerprinters but try to get your fingerprint to match a lot of other people's so you can "hide in the crowd". This is what TOR browser does and it seems extremely fragile and unlikely to work since it's a never-ending game of whac-a-mole where you have to account for every single possible thing that could ever possibly make your fingerprint different for it to be effective.

The other approach is to try to provide as little information as possible with much of that information being inconsistent so that your fingerprint is always unique across sessions/requests. This seems a lot easier. Simply disabling javascript by default does most of the work for you. You'll still have anything sent over in HTTP headers to worry about (and that can be randomized), but hardened firefox with JS disabled should make most of the data used to fingerprint your browser inaccessible.

We consider Michelin stars to be indicative of exceptional food. You can still get amazing food outside of their reviewed restaurants, but to be included in their list you need to pass a pretty thorough anonymous inspection over time.

It would be far from perfect, but a bottom up review is definitely better than any top down censorship.

I don't.

If one has something going on such that state-level actors might want nefarious / adversarial access, well, one should be taking MUCH MORE SERIOUS STEPS about personal digital security.

Your "regular everyday normal mfer" (as the song apparently incessantly looped on Instagram goes) has no such enemies. My personal digital opsec is designed to keep me and mine safe from likely threats, and the threats I face are pretty banal -- brute force attacks, mostly. I am 100% unconcerned about governmental intrusion into my safe to gain access to, e.g., my online banking passwords.

Show HN: I built a custom web query tool that is surprisingly useful
I’ve been using Alfred workflows for years, and have 10+ bulk-searches set up. I created HeftySearch to enable that same flexibility for as many people as possible via a web interface. I’ve found it super useful to search to buy things on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace at the same time. Or to search for a movie on HBO, Prime Video, Netflix, etc at the same time. You can add your own custom searches too for any site, and I’ve tried to make it pretty clear how to do that. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!
>This is when I formed my “never replace a terminal based app, with a GUI based app and expect productivity gains” theory.

Not in medicine (run a small e-commerce business selling mostly used video games), but definitely noticed the same thing for us.

We have some terminal-based Python scripts I wrote to automate a lot of the data entry tasks like listing and shipping (entering tracking numbers, printing labels).

Everyone that uses the scripts is initially apprehensive, but then after maybe a day of getting used to the terminal turns into a powerful data entry God and they love it. Even had an employee gush about our shipping tool to a random supplier.
But Intel would presumably be investing the forgone dividends in something that looks better to investors than the metaverse moneypit.

You did not. Aside from Rust and Swift, all the added languages are preliminary. A minimal extension is required to, for example, connect Chime up to an LSP server to get semantic features going like completions and diagnostics. We do not have a 1st-party extension built for C# yet.

Mathematicians are half-artist, I think. Or, vice-versa.
I don't think we disagree? My point is, "just fork it" is a ridiculous response to complaints about a community, and furthermore it's a special case of a broad category of ridiculous responses to complaints about how systems are run. It's just a cheap[0] way to avoid assessing the complaint on its merits, which we do both seem to think is necessary.

[0] Quite possibly a victim-blaming way, though not necessarily, depending first and foremost on the merits of the complaint...
definitely yes, I'd even go as far as to say they're just exemplary, meaning "well written code can look (for example) like this", but since they became "industry standards", they help your code be understood (either by other people, or by you when you eventually forget how/why you wrote it that way), which helps speed up code review and make it easier to maintain / refactor old code...
This. It is a different technical model that produces a different user experience. These are closer to widgets than to IPC.
> For me, the lack of those features is itself a feature.

For me as well. However language specific IDEs these days usually don't have much if anything on more popular editors.
You can have both. GUIs were a breakthrough because they enabled much better discoverability, allowed images in the UI and so on. But they were also designed to be fully keyboardable and low latency.

Web tech broke all that:

- UI was/still is very high latency. Keystrokes input whilst the browser is waiting do not buffer, unlike in classical mainframe/terminal designs. They're just lost or worse might randomly interrupt your current transaction.

- HTML has no concept of keyboard shortcuts, accelerator keys, menus, context menus, command lines and other power user features that allow regular users to go fast.

We adopted web tech even for productivity/crud apps, because browsers solved distribution at a time when Microsoft was badly dropping the ball on it. That solved problems for developers and allowed more rapid iteration, but ended up yielding lower productivity than older generations of apps for people who became highly skilled.
They claim:

- Experimental flags and code should not remain indefinitely

- There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL

- The new image format does not bring sufficient incremental benefits over existing formats to warrant enabling it by default

- By removing the flag and the code in M110, it reduces the maintenance burden and allows us to focus on improving existing formats in Chrome

It's nonsense -- how can they claim "not enough interest" when we can't enable the feature on a public website (our visitors won't be able to see images).
I'm amused at the notion of a mathematical "shibarist" (I don't know Japanese but I understand that -ka might be the proper suffix). You've got some kinkster who wants to get tied up, but the knot nerd keeps trying to compute invariants...

Re: A good markup language describes an abstract hierarchical structure of the document, and lets a separate program to adapt that structure to the desired output.

I have to disagree. Often the abstract nature is hard to describe and/or the constructs for it either don't exist, or need cleaning/updating. Often I find myself saying, "I don't know why it's more legible to format this thing such and such way, it just is." Creating a good abstract language or category set for a given domain is not easy. It's good to use abstraction where it's practical, but often you just have to tell them system "just format it like this!"

For example, the difference between a button and hyperlink is often blurry. We could abstract it something like: [Action FormatType="Button" Label="Send email to Mom" ActionType="mailto:mom73@moms.sample"/] so that FormatType could be changed to "Hyperlink", but most find this goofy and perhaps long-winded.

As far as compact wiki-like shortcuts versus XML, the first often has more escaping issues or confusion. It's not a free lunch, but about best fitting intended use.

Got a source for this?
I agree with your ultimate conclusion ("Using a computer is not a drug"), and that this is an important consideration, but to play with the forest-trees thing here, the stimulus I think most people perceive and/or conditioned to is the alert tone and/or vibration, which I believe has been argued to (not in their words) have some inherent salience, once the user is conditioned by carrying a phone around for a while, at least.

I believe this is one of the avenues argued for "Tech Addictive"/"Screens Bad" - that the intrinsic value of bzzzzzt could, at least hypothetically, be as high as, say, nudes or an "omw" text, or even your dealer texting he's 5min away; and that this inflated value is in turn projected, however briefly, onto every once-in-a-lifetime sale and useless 3am app notification about an icon set update or something.

There's also obviously the much-written-about addictive UI/UX features employed in various places. I vaguely recall one or two unfortunate email chains, maybe, but am assuming most product teams didn't go into meetings with nefarious intentions of getting their users psychologically addicted.

Nevertheless, addictions can be triggered by adjacent things, and however little dopamine "all the little red little circles all over the place" release in my grandmother's brain is probably very different from a chainsmoking coke user taking a swig from his bottle as he picks up his phone to see:

I think I could probably make the argument that maximizing for, say, MAUs/DAUs, is essentially an addictive cycle - a la "valueless reward" - in the business process, probably citing lots of business types who have written lots about how optimizing for the wrong metrics will leave your company broke and homeless too.

So, I guess I'm saying "Using a computer is not a drug", particularly as you used it, is nearly indisputably true, but somewhat misses the conversation being had (however dumb), and that it's worth looking at all of the links in the causal chain and examining how, for example, alarm fatigue and <sleep stuff> compare and contrast (and occur comorbidly with) actual addictive and/or depressive syndromes - for exactly the reasons you listed, like:

"We've found that homeless people using Facebook are xy.z% more likely to relapse on heroin, don't understand statistics, and therefore don't allow our clients to use the internet, except for this one from 2005 that lets them digitally sign the form we need to get reimbursed for the bed."
Yes. I will WFH just for the perk of having good coffee!
I started my career 30 years ago at Apple. There was no internet, no option to work from home. We wrote software that would eventually be burned onto disks. Whatever we used for source code control was quite primitive. Seeing your work go "live" would take months. We were working on cutting-edge stuff (speech recognition in my case) in an environment buzzing with energy and optimism about technology.

Compensation was average: there were no companies with inflated pay packages, so all my engineering friends were paid about the same. Friendly (or not) rivalries were everywhere: Apple vs IBM vs Next vs Microsoft. I'd grown up imagining Cupertino as a magical place and I finally got to work in the middle of it. After the internet, the get-rich-quick period launched by Netscape's IPO, the business folks took over and it's never been the same.
