If you continue the live coding (thought) experiment, you would naturally code a better interface. At that point you would be reinventing something like Ableton Live, but completely different. Similar to how using Lisp for a project develops its own DSL for the application different from other DSLs for other applications.

So we'd be watching someone simultaneously live code/play music and live code their interface.

Personally, I'd rather let them code the interface off stage and watch the live performance. After all, using the interface is live coding, but using the pre-built DSL.
Ooh, well played! Not GP, but - yes - this one.

Show HN: Metadocs, kinda like Reddit, but built into every documentation
Hi, I'm Ritinkar and I'm building metadocs, which is kind of like reddit built into every documentation ever.

It's a chrome extension that allows discussion on any webpage to happen there itself.

Currently I have built threaded comments, and a upvote/downvote system.

Plus I've built this cool feature called Highlights, which lets you discuss specific lines in any documentation. As well as a feature called Top Hightlights, which shows the most interesting hightlights on any webpage.

Hope you guys will try it out. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here.

Thanks.
If you come at a complete stop anyway, it's fine with me. Bikes can't accelerate all that quickly, so it ends up being pretty slow traffic.

Why couldn't the entire system be E2E encrypted by default, though? In 2022, that's my standard expectation from any service. Even such things as Pocket / Instapaper / Raindrop should come with E2E encryption by default. It's better for the service provider, too: no issues with GDPR, or in case of a database hack.
It has to be addressed at all levels. The unions are the supporting the corrupt politicians who support too many workers on the job. So long as everyone goes "my corruption is small/worth it - what about" we will never get anywhere. People need to be willing to bite the hand that feeds them.

Show HN: All-SVG websites with complex animation
I created a system for building SVG-only websites called Svija. But, though the content was nice, the sites felt too static — a bit flat and lifeless. Even a basic HTML website has mouseover effects, but SVG doesn't have them for free the way HTML does.

I wanted to find an easy way to recreate mouseover functionality in SVG. For my first try, I labeled objects in Adobe Illustrator:

• linkSomeName: an invisible link <rect> (over the link text)
• mouseoverSomeName: a <g> mouseover decoration (usually bold or colored text, or an underline), initially hidden

The two objects are connected by "SomeName", and a javascript event listener attached to the link object would change the mouseover object's CSS display from "none" to "block".

Once I had used it for a bit, I thought that it might be nicer if the effects faded in and out. So, I tried animating the transitions with GSAP. It immediately became clear that there was enormous potential to manage complex animations visually, and I worked over the
summer to create Svija Vibe.

It's all based on linking Adobe Illustrator object names to the GSAP script. Most basic transformations already work well but there's a lot I'll be able to do to make it even simpler to use.

I'm really excited about it! I've only just started but I have a million ideas about how to make it more capable — the big one being the ability to chain animations together.

There's a support document at https://tech.svija.love/how/animation that gives more detail about exactly what can be done.

Svija Vibe is free. It works with Svija, which is also free, but you do need to create an account to use it (Maconly, at least for the next three months).

To me the problem is that it's natural to want to use social media in an informal, conversational way, so there will inevitably be small slip-ups of decorum. We're emotional creatures.

It seems unfair, or unhealthy, even, that those go down on your permanent record.

Even if you don't slip up in that way, the constantly looming fear that you COULD is also unpleasant.

Basically I think it's healthier for all of us if we have the ability to move on from minor transgressions, and don't have to live in fear of making a thoughtless remark or a bad joke and being tarred forever as a jerk.

Or to put it another way, I don't think Steve Klabnik is any more of a jerk than the rest of us, he just happens to have caught the attention of the eye of Sauron for a moment.

The rest of us, seeing that, will perhaps be motivated to be EXTRA careful and kind at all times, but this is basically living life under a sort of panopticon, rather than in a geniune, moment to moment way.

The purpose is not to pinpoint whole life trajectories. Obviously predictions decades into the future are a crapshoot. But it does not cost anything to copy paste the formula down that many rows.

The purpose is to establish upper and lower bounds and adjust expectations properly. In the context of this thread, it does seem reasonable for a high schooler to be able to predict some spectrum of their quality of life if they were to pursue a PhD in <x> field.

Finding a partner, buying a home, having children, etc all happens within 10 to 20 years of high school. They can take their student loans, amortize them, and calculate if $70k/$100k/$120k/$250k per year will buy them the future they want. And they may decide that a PhD in whatever has too low of a probability of allowing them to achieve other goals they have, such as having kids or living in a certain region or owning a certain type of home.

And it goes beyond money. Kids should be taught to research or ask people what their day to day, month to month, year to year is like. A 16 year that wants to research medicine should get data from a 25/30/35 year old about what to expect, such as hours worked per week, vacation time, where the jobs are, job security, etc.

If the star is close enough I have a hard time imagining what is happening to its orbiting planets.

Did they "de-orbit" during the creation of the black hole? Or do the planets orbit the black hole as they were already orbiting the original star before that?

Does that mean you can have a mix of stars and planets orbiting another star?
Could it even be possible that a star has planets and a star orbiting it AND the star orbiting it also has it's set of planets orbiting as well?

And what happens to the time on the planets once they orbit closer to the black hole?

So many (and apologies in advance if stupid) questions!
The parent said “most” so both can be true: most maps don’t need to shrink and the example in the article is a valid case where shrinking a map would be desirable. This seems obvious so I’m confused by your confusion. :)

For the moment: you can have as much data as you want on disk as long as the RocksDB storage engine can handle it, which I believe is quite large. For any single query though, you want all the data you touch to fit in memory. The good news is that Rust is very efficient in using memory. This will be improved in future versions.

For the built-in graph algorithms, you are also limited by the algorithmic complexity, which for some of them is quite high (notably betweenness centrality). There is nothing the database can help in this case, though we may add some approximate algorithms with lower complexities later.
The point of the thread is that they won’t see anywhere close to a decade of support at all, and that any OS older than the latest released version will get some updates if it isn’t too complicated.

Third party battery replacements are great. In 2019, a battery for my HP laptop got bad (not sure what but it had practically become zero). Since I had an extended warranty, I got a replacement which was worth ₹ 8000. It went bad once again early during the last year and I got the a third party battery for ₹ 3500, which works perfectly fine.
Interesting work on Online Learning:

There are many empirical studies which show for feature hashing, a few collisions don't have a sig impact on perf (https://youtu.be/ARjNMdCzN-Q?t=599).

However, for some archs, the impact is catastrophic. Eg matrix factorization. Any collision leads to an incorrect item. Zero Collision Hashing addresses the problem of mapping collisions. One technique is to introduce state into the hashing fn using the current id assignments.

3 different papers in 2.5 years with a group? Did they all have to be lead author works? And if so may I ask what is your field?

That kind of requirement would be way too strict for some fields. Flexible graduation guidelines can be abused by bad programs and/or bad PIs, but they also allow flexibility in what you get out of the PhD and when you can leave. I know people that graduated from my program with 0 lead author papers (and <= 2 contributing author papers) because they had already lined up an industry job or a pivot to research in a different field. They'd be in school forever if there were strict authorship requirements.

PS - some PIs, whether intentionally or not, can actually abuse strict requirements more than flexible ones. If you used PI resources to do research, which is often unavoidable in experimental fields, you need their permission to publish. Some PIs have extremely high standards for what journals they will allow their work to be published in. Often students end up with 4th author via a piece of a paper that got published in a journal like Cell, but could've been a stand alone lead author work in a mid tier journal. Nothing wrong with that, arguably it's better from a scientific perspective, but you can see how that might impact student careers.

There's some some waste involved in not pre-allocating the map to begin with. Check the output of this variation (https://go.dev/play/p/vQwg3GajzXx -- n shrunk to 1,000 to stay within the playground's memory constraints) which fills the map again after the GC. You'll see the map doesn't grow back to the max size.

And if you specify the size of the map up front in the `make()` function, it never grows or shrinks (or not significantly): https://go.dev/play/p/AGW35kMMOc5

IIRC, what's happening is that whenever the map hits what was pre-allocated, it expands by a certain growth factor of the current size. So at some point between 1 and 1,000,000 a big chunk was allocated that went over what was necessary for 1,000,000 entries. In my testing it happened around i == 851_500:

i == 851000: 258507 KB
i == 852000: 479212 KB
I've been in ~10 authors papers. They were a collaboration of two ~5 persons groups of different universities. Each group has a different method tuned for a similar topic, and the idea was to use both of them together to get a better result.

And our project is a "software only" project. Other projects have to build an experimental device, babysit the device during the experiment, cleanup the noisy experimental data, and then try to reach conclusion, so it's natural to need more authors.
Another example might illustrate the difference better: When Steve Jobs returned to Apple he found extremely diverse product offerings intended to offer solutions optimized for features and cost to all segments of the small computer market. Unfortunately this resulted in a confusing mess that even he was unable to navigate. Which Mac should someone buy? Even Steve Jobs could not figure that out, and that is a sign of a serious problem.

The result was a mass consolidation of products. For a time there were high and low end versions of portable and desktop computers and that was it. Deciding between a Mac and a Mac Pro was not confusing or difficult, and this approach worked well with the core values of Apple. The goal of the company was to make computing highly available with systems that Just Worked in predictable and reliable ways. Structuring offerings and price options to make buying decisions easy for people who just wanted a computer caused an immediate boost to both sales and customer satisfaction.

So price optimization can mean very different things. In this case what seemed to be a straightforward targeting of market segments resulted in customer confusion that held back both sales and customer satisfaction. The solution involved a product packaging and pricing strategy that was more aligned with the goals of the company rather than tuning prices to reflect the diversity of the customer base. For best results pricing strategies must be integrated with company goals and messaging.

> these countries were always agrarian economies that had enourmous GDP numbers due to their sheer population numbers which supported a minuscule wealthy landed elite, nothing comparable to industrialised and service based economies.

Nothing different than a service based economy where a huge percentage of people live paycheck to paycheck and supports wealthy billionaires.

What are you trying to prove? Because what you say has not meaning and point whatsoever. We could even argue that certain technologies advantage were reached by China before the west and people like Marco Polo have made their fortune trading them (without going there and start wars for example). Does that make them a "agrarian economy"? They were doing trades with Europe and Asia before America was even discovered (and to that extent before Jesus was born). Unless you've any evidence of what you just said, you just made an empty argument.

> this is a view of economics which put the center of economic productivity in raw workhours

I never talked about this, you're playing a movie in your head and that is the output of your own imagination.

The point I was making is in contradiction to the previous post that mentions how globalism made the west poorer while enriching other countries.

The reason is that with the previous era (colonialist) the west lived above their mean because of the exploitation that was perpetrated elsewhere (Africa and Asia). Now that these countries have added values in their economy which resulted in uplifting their own citizen to a better living standard is creating some trouble in the west.
> On Sunday, in my article Home truths about macOS, I made some bold and important assertions that Apple doesn’t normally maintain even critical parts of macOS once a version has been superseded as the current release.

On Sunday the author also blew some anti-vax dogwhistles in that same article.

> It’s a similar argument to that concerning vaccination of younger people against Covid or other generally non-fatal conditions. Most people under the age of 70 who are in reasonably good health should be safe from serious or prolonged illness or death.

I'm not sure why the author threw in that nonsense in the last article but I'm calling it out once again because I think people need to be accountable for tossing around FUD and misinformation around subjects that have factual truths. The scientifically verified truth is that people of all ages benefit from getting the Covid-19 vaccine and boosters when it comes to Covid-19 outcomes, which don't just include the possibility of death but also include lingering or permanent negative affects.

Back to the subject at hand, I don't understand the point of this exercise. Apple never claimed to maintain "critical subsystems" in previous OS versions, and I think the author of the article is using the "critical" verbiage to make it sound like a problem that Apple isn't maintaining APFS in previous versions of macOS.
