Or, better, identifying that the machine has a primitive that is better than doing each op individually. For example, a multiply-accumulate instruction vs a multiply and separate accumulate. The source code still says "a*b+c", the compiler is just expected to infer the MAC instruction.
Just like the first dot-com crash in 2002. And the recession in 2008.
There is really no point arguing over beliefs, it's easier to settle things with facts/data. "humans are logical and act rationally" has never been a good apriori.
That doesn't differentiate between fame and infamy.
Unfortunately you are right, and that's why i said where possible. Also i didn't say mandatory. Even in tech not all jobs can be done remotely. And thats fine. But demanding that everyone should work onsite is frankly a mental health issue.
So has SF.
Brutally accurate comment, these are my thought exactly but I couldn't summarize it in words.
Twitter’s content was a cesspool and has been for years. I’m not sure what additional harm these brands are worried about.
DoH does nothing but standardise what shit software was already doing. The lack of user control is the result of malicious behaviour of the applications you run. If those applications choose to bypass your DNS settings, be it to opt into or out out of DoH, they're the bad actors, not the people helping you encrypt (and, with the right setup, anonymize) your DNS requests.

Sorry, I’m not clear on why you need to parse the query? Imagine you want to INSERT (int, array[], int) into a table.

Why can’t you just generate the following SQL?

INSERT INTO foo VALUES (?, ARRAY[?,?,?], ?)

Where param 1-3 are indexes 0-2 in the array?

This is basically what everything else does when handing arrays, or other composite types like coordinates.

If the language or libraries are not suitable for doing this then the language or libraries are the problem, not the approach.
It seems far more likely removing this tweet was a response to the publicity it was getting, and was an effort to keep such dissent from being aired publicly (and thus a contradiction with Musk's stated principles and goals for this takeover), than that it was an ordinary moderation process that just happened to produce this outcome. The disruption you cite makes it far less likely that this is by the book, not more.

Yes, it does, got them mixed up. Still, it is the same idea: same rates up and down versus different rates.
If there are no actual measurements to back up the last two years of HN WFH productivity anecdata, then perhaps there is something about bifurcated work and home environments.

For many, with WFH there are no after work hours. Work-Life Balance is a lie, it’s Work-Life Integration.
Brexit happened in January 2020. As the first lockdown started, the news were that trade was falling from a cliff, which was part of the impetus to deny anything bad was happening, to avoid shutting down the country at an already difficult time.

Things had started to change beforehand as various actors tried to adapt before the shit hit the fan, but yeah, the effects were not being felt that much, on account of the thing not having actually started yet.
>>when there wasn't significant conflict between major powers.

im talking to this point as there were massive proxy-wars/conflagration of conflict in that time period mentioned...

But to your point ;; "did not affect development of technology"

2001 even more than 2008 as it was a long slog with lots of bankruptcies.
I'm not so sure things are as dire as the article makes them out to be. As long as you avoid soma, lower nob hill, civic center, fidi, and the tenderloin it's been a great place to live during/after the pandemic. Rent is actually cheaper than pre-pandemic, the city is still super walkable and bikeable, there are more than enough bars, restaurants, and live events every weekend to keep me busy and then some.

Shameless pitch for people who may be new to the area and can only see the negative side of the SF bay area, me and another local started a conversational podcast loosely about awesome bay area events & activities:

Quitting Is Underrated
Why is everyone so scared of guns? They're machines. You should be much more terrified of other people driving.
And also - Lots of folks are worried about protecting our personal information from advertisers, which will cause the ads we see (if we see them) to be less relevant, and therefore less valuable. Which in turn means that we need to see more of those less-valuable ads to pay for the resources we are consuming.

Wouldn't it be better to see MORE relevant, more valuable, and overall fewer ads?
It looks like you can still order the solar roof on their site: https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

People are great at finding ulterior motives for people they've already decided they dislike. I don't think Musk is an altruist, and I'm certain he has multiple motives for the ventures he cares about, but I think it's hard to deny that he's found success where others have struggled, and that his ventures will ultimately benefit humanity.
Nice asciiart!

> the thing is, you don't reason about performance. you measure it.

This is only half-true. You do reason about it and later profile. For example, I want to know if my assinment operator in C++ will run in constant time.
> but they obviously know their users well enough to know most of them don't want that choice, and that the results would not be a net positive.

FIFY.

If you want choice of software to run (sideloaded or not), you are correct, Apple does not make the device for you. They've always been transparent about this. You are buying an Apple phone with apple software, and the option to install some apple-approved third party apps.
Ironically, it was the walled garden that kept me on Apple for so long. Having at least the illusion that apps were safe and secure gave me some confidence that most of the apps are reasonably safe does remove stress and means I don't have to vet things too closely. In truth there are nasties in the Apple world too, but I'm sure it's nowhere near as wild as installing random .apk files.

What made me leave Apple was for a real headphone socket, an SD card slot, and especially USB-C charging. Those were the non-negotiables for me.
> my phone to do: more customizable, better app integration ecosystem, less vendor lock in for default apps.

> Apple has slowly shored up its software weaknesses

Every time i think about this, i check and see that there is still no way to customise the "desktop", all installed apps are just plastered on it and the best you can do is folders. Having used Nova launcher for like 10 years now i shudder at the thought of that chaos.

Also having to use a work-provided MacBook Pro, I've discovered that Apple's UIs are nice, but UX has a lot of hidden stuff (aka poor UX) and weird rough edges (you're holding it wrong). (If anyone wants examples, having different scroll directions between mouse/touchpad, having DP chaining work over USB-C, customising keys/key combos without installing a keylogger, etc etc etc.). I doubt iOS is different in that regard, so Android it is, imperfect as it is.
Getting to the moon only takes another JFK. We have the tech, we have the people, all we lack is the budget and a 5-10 year deadline. Also, another hard part is getting there safely enough. A 5% chance of dying out there is probably not acceptable nowadays. We probably need to go below 0.1% to attempt it again, and that's not trivial, especially with the possibility of solar flares beyond the magnetic protection of the Earth.

The real question is, is it worth making it a priority?
> The idea behind h1b is to bring people to this country to work in useful and productive ways.

Specifically, in a temporary way. H1B is not an immigration visa, it's a temporary working visa, for which duel-intent is acknowledged (it's legal for an H1B holder to intend to get and apply for a green card.) But at the end of the day, an H1B visa is still a temporary work visa, not an immigration visa.

I'm not saying I like it. If it were up to me all the temporary work visas would be done away with and replaced with a system of permanent visas. But it is what it is.

Yes, its finally blocked.[0]

It was a GitHub organization page with 8 repos, and according to its descriptions it includes "disassembled code" of few mobile apps used by Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And this GitHub organization 'profile README' page included manifesto (in Russian) with a "call to collaborate to continue disassembling work to help Russian private military units to fight against Armed Forces of Ukraine".

The Labor Theory of Value is discredited. Value is not based on how hard or long someone works, it's what is produced by the labor that has value.

For example, if you fill a bucket with water, run around in a circle, and empty the bucket, you are surely working hard, but exhibit zero productivity.
I love not being able to be self sufficient in my 30s because I get paid shit and then being told by the fed that inflation is being caused by people like me getting paid too much. I almost ended my life 2 years ago because of feeling hopeless about ever being able to earn enough money to have a decent quality of life that I could provide myself, I hate centrist democrats (i.e. republican-lite)
Yes! Thank you for that distinction. Exactly. Our coaches are not treating ADHD as a medical condition (which is why they don't diagnose or prescribe) but they are helping people with ADHD gain skills, build systems, etc. to help manage their ADHD symptoms.

The reality is there are often co-occuring conditions in the mix here so we often either refer out or ensure our clients are also working with a therapist on other mental health challenges / issues like eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and depression.
I wonder at what point "The Web" was invented. When the first "GET / HTTP/0.1" (what version did tbl use?) got a proper response? I guess he wrote HTML after being able to fetch text streams, is it "The Web" without HTML parsing and links that you can navigate to?
When there's a lot of things to start with, there's bound to be a lot of things to survive by chance even without preserving. A lot of the stuff that survived was accidentally preserved by nature.
I don't think so. That would mean admitting his Truth Social platform is not as good as Twitter. I don't think he'd do that.

ah, fair enough. The design in the photo is much more vertical than horizontal- maybe they're designing for space constraints? I would imagine 500*C molten salt would be significantly more efficient than sand, so the only charitable thing I can come up with is they're simply putting the cheapest materials they can (discard sand, free electricity) to good use.
If a non-Twitter employee posts a tweet with an image of their corporate internal communications, does Twitter take those tweets down automatically or at the other corp's request or does the person that made the tweet have to remove it when their corp overlords demand? I honestly don't know the mechanisms for getting a tweet removed that is deemed to violate some policy some where.
Sadly, you've got it backwards. Class actions are opt-out. You're part of it unless you know about the settlement and contact them to let them know you're opting out of it.

U.S. Authorities Seize Z-Library Domain Names
Android does not expose a firewall API. It does expose a VPN API that lets the developers choose how to handle traffic. This can be useful for VPNs that only want to connect to intranet websites through the VPN and let the rest of the traffic go through the normal route.

Adblockers use this API to block connections, redirect DNS traffic, or possibly even rewrite content for DNS lookups. There is no system wide content blocker and even if there was, there is no way to enforce applications to use a content-blockable network API.
Torrentfreak adds information and background to an earlier submission which merely linked one of the seized domains:

> You simply have no basis upon which to claim that SpaceX's reusable launch vehicles were not innovative.

I didn't claim that they were not innovative, I claimed that they were not revolutionary - that is a big difference.

> We're taking our first baby steps into space and you're saying baby steps are meaningless because they're far from running marathons. This argument is incredibly unconvincing.

We have taken our first baby steps into space a few decades ago, and none of what SpaceX is currently doing is bringing us to any place new - we've already been to the Moon and to Mars, and we've been to plenty more exotic places.

The problem of space colonization is just not the rockets.

> The grid needs to expand anyway to handle renewable intermittency.

The grid needs to expand, but the fewer consumers there are, the less it needs to expand, so the easier it is to close down the big polluters.

> What I'm reading here is that Musk's Tesla is addressing the existential risk of climate change

I am saying that overall EVs are at best close to neutral - they obviously pollute less than ICEs if the grid is green enough, but they will also delay the green-ification of the grid if adopted in enough numbers to matter. Not to mention, Teslas are typically pretty big cars. If Musk cared about climate change and it weren't just an afterthought, there are more important businesses he could have gotten into (such as green power generation directly).
> district heating

I'm always impressed by how prevalent district heating is in parts of Europe, and wonder if anything like that has ever been done in the states, or if it seems too much like communism.

Also have people done the math on the transmission losses vs the efficiencies of a single heating location?
We know that on Jun 30th Alameda had $134m in liquid assets, at the same time it came out that they owe the bankrupt Voyager Digital around $650m USD.

On Jul 8th Alameda research tweeted: "happy to return the Voyager loan and get our collateral back whenever works for voyager".

Simple question here, how do they return $650m USD, if they only have $134m in liquid assets (cash) and the rest is in illiquid tokens such as FTT, MAPS and other tokens with fancy names and inflated marketcaps?
"Past performance may not be indicative of future results. The value of your economic model as a predictor of outcomes may go down as well as up."
Appreciate the honesty and openness!

I know I could be working on things that generate a lot of money but I am just constantly distracted by HN, Games, YT etc.

So happy if you would go into detail about "set up triggers, rewards, plans for distractions, etc), certain auditory alarms throughout the day, and very specific systems that helped me get these small "detailed" items changed".

Not convinced that there is anything that I would not just ignore after a day or two but extremely happy to be proven wrong. I tried a lot of things, all failed after a very short time
Well, everyone wants to diversify, so everyone is willing to pay a premium for assets that are uncorrelated to the market, thus depressing their expected return. That's one of the basic insights of the CAPM. But that effect should not affect the correlation.
Man, people are really negative about this, but it's a great idea.

In the old days, paper ballots would also 'go missing' from districts known to be favorable to the other side (aka be chucked out of trucks on a bridge over a river).
The best option seems to be open source voting machines + paper audit. This way you get immediate counts and then an audit trail, so would-be manipulators have to mess with BOTH at the same time which is significantly harder.

Think you know a better way HN? Let's hear it.
Try this: https://janet-lang.org/
I didn't ask for the original title, I asked that the title be fixed. As an example, removing "mass employee" gets under the limit and leaves a title that's a lot more clear than what's up there now. "Twitter faces lawsuit..." gets you there, several ways of shortening without losing much meaning.

HN guidelines ask that the original be used. But if original is too long, we should at least try to leave something that makes sense and doesn't incorrectly flip Boolean flags.
Sweet Home 3D is great if you don't want to download anything, since they have a browser version.

My app improves on Sweet Home 3D in 2 main ways:

- Rearrange furniture directly in 3D (In Sweet Home 3D, you have to add/move furniture in the 2D view, which then updates the 3D view)

- Better graphics (Sweet Home 3D doesn't have textures on most furniture)

I don't understand how you can say this when many of the largest tech companies have first immigrant CEOs. Of the top 10 tech companies globally, 4 (Meta, Apple, Tesla and Amazon) have CEOs of European descent.

> How is that any better than the current situation?

The main benefits are that the apps should be faster, smaller, and use less resources as they don't include the whole of Electron (Chrome) with each one. So ideally massively less resource usage as so much is shared.

Running VS Code and Teams at the same time, for instance, would ideally use around half of the resources (a naive guess but you see the point).

As you allude to, though, it relies on MS keeping it updated but I would hope they take that seriously as if it takes off then one late update leaves multiple apps vulnerable. It remains to be seen.
I think this is the question you need to ask yourself and understand.
>California has the same age-adjusted excess mortality as Florida, so the destruction was wrought for naught.

Seems arbitrary to compare with Florida when the linked data shows California ranked 38, and nearly half the excess mortality of states at the top that seemingly didn’t take the same COVID-19 precautions.

N of 1, but I know my productivity has fallen, specifically at work. At home and on side projects nothing's changed, but I've come to the conclusion that my current job is enough to keep my family afloat, and that's all it will ever be. The implicit promise that's been around my entire life, particularly with those like myself making top 30% income/household by national standards, was that we could afford a decent house with decent schools and raise a family on just our W2 income. My dad provided for all four of us doing the 90s equivalent of my current job, and sure we didn't have cable and what vacations we took were all car-based, but my and my sister's college was fully paid for, we never wanted for necessities, and we had a 1700 sq ft house in a good school district.

Well, that is simply no longer possible on a single income, even a low six-figure one. To get the rewards I've busted my ass for thus far I have to look beyond my job. So unless economic circumstances change, said job is a 40 hour chore to keep the ship afloat while I spin up additional revenue streams. Outside of legitimate customer emergencies it will get all the commitment that my laundry gets (and my laundry is nicely folded). Any request for more better help me buy a house in a good school district or pay for my kids' college. I want nothing more than what my immediate Gen-X and Boomer co-workers have had for decades, and I'm sure as hell not going to lower my family's standard of living just to increase some middle manager's metrics.

Musk was openly antagonistic to an agreement he signed that waved all due diligence. In my business experience, most entities that sign a contract try to honor that contract. Musk does not. He tries to use his money and power to find every loophole in every business deal. It's shady, it's deceptive, and it's not conducive to long-term success.
