I don't know how you can deal with just vertical tabs. Sidebery (FF extension) offers tree tabs and it's really cool.
I vaguely remember a report from, I think it was the 90s? Where it predicted what would happen if CO2 emissions grew exponentially (no reduction in growth), linearly (reduction in growth), or stopped (complete cessation of growth). And because of CO2 reduction agreements we got to linear instead of exponential growth. I'll find the exact report and outcome I'm thinking of, but we can be hitting a new record this year and also it's not as bad as it could have been.

Edit: it was a report by James Hansen in 1988.
I also had problems to learn more about that. For me the article creates more confusion than has some theoretic or practical value.
I'll add the film "The Waterhorse" which was a favorite of mine and my son at the time (7 or 8 y old).
Agreed, this is also mentioned in the (1.5 year old) article. As a hard of hearing person I thought they would prioritize accessibility, but that hasn’t happened yet.

My biggest complaint with Jellyfin and Emby is feature parity across platforms. Most everything works well in a web browser, but I almost never watch films on a laptop. My household uses Roku TV’s and there’s subtitles that just don’t work consistently, transcoding issues that cause entire films to be unplayable (despite working fine in plex).

I really want to switch off plex but with these two issues / core functionality not working I cannot consider it.

> The Jellyfin Android TV app is slightly worse than Plex’s, but they’re both dreadful to navigate with a remote control. Neither apps do a good job with subtitles and subtitle customization. Instead of the apps, I watch media via the Jellyfin web player instead of in a web browser on my home theater computer (HTPC).
Have you never had a coworker that needs so much help that they end up "costing" so much of other people's time and focus that you would have been better off if they weren't there at all? While I thankfully haven't encountered a lot of people that far out on the competency spectrum, I have met a few, or more than a few that are not too far off. Not a large proportion of hires, as OP said, but still.
Anything that prints its own money can be "like a central bank". If FTX had all its assets AND liabilities denominated in FTT they'd be like a strong one. But their assets are in their token and their liabilities are in real money so they're weak one. We've just seen the exchange rate of the FT-peso/USD go to nothing.
normally a developer that can't program shows in a few major ways:

1. pair programing where they "want to watch you", but never modify your code and submit it

1. talks a lot about progress, but it takes days to get a commit out of them

1. will build "solutions" to perceived problems that really only serve to make them the single failure point and are not usable

1. says shit like "i don't write tests" or "it works for me, can you show me what you mean?" and clearly has no idea what you're doing

1. you repeat the same comments in loops, because they aren't taking your feedback, they're trying to hit a KPI

these people fall into two major groups, the people doing it on purpose, and the folks that don't realize that this is them. a lot of people lie to themselves about their ability, and this is the end result of them being incapable of acknowledging that they've got work to do!

It's an interesting story in light of the way that the population is routinely forced to obey policies justified only via complex statistical models that require a computer to evaluate.
Hence the tiny testes on steroid abusers.
The major annoyance with that is that you have to explain to your parents/friends how to do that when you give them access otherwise they won’t find your stuff in the ocean of media plex is trying to push at them.
What calendars can you integrate? It's a no-go if it doesn't have Outlook calendar integration. App developers always assume everyone is OK using Google calendar. Functionality for only Google calendar alienates a large portion of the your prospective user pool who are "Google-Free".
This is good to underline, but I found this confusing or contradicting as well.

Also because of as they write about containers. In a container all files are tracked. That's the container.
The article says "they have the property that their onset patterns are distributed as evenly as possible", but their appeal seems to lie in the fact that they cannot be distributed completely evenly, on account of the number of onsets and the number of steps being coprime integers.
Please not just vertical, I need my trees. Sidebery works pretty well though. Sometimes updates are a little delayed, but it's not very bad. Native support and optimizations for Sidebery should do the trick.

I'm writing my own app for practicing the piano.

The goal is to make practicing fun, while also making steady progress.

I'm not a good player at all, and I've struggled with practice for years. But I have no problems playing (practicing) difficult video games, that require a lot of repetition (think Celeste).

I think I've identified two major reasons why I never enjoyed it:

1. Classical music notation (sheet music) is just awful. It goes against most modern principles of easy-to-grasp information design. So I've come up with my own notation that is much easier to read and can be generated from musicxml files.

2. Practicing takes too much decision making and discipline. If you want to make progress, you have to constantly remind yourself to practice the parts that you're not good at yet - this is a surprising amount of mental overhead and requires lots of discipline. So the app I wrote listens to you play via MIDI and keeps track of which segments of a piece you're already good at, and automatically gives you those you still need to practice more - zero decision making required. You just play whatever the app gives you and after a few weeks/months you're suddenly able to play the whole piece.

The app is no where near ready to be shown, but I'm confident at this point that the concept will work.

I've been planning a longer write up on this for a while, if you're interested in reading more about it, please let me know, that would be very motivating :)
Your knowledge of physics is near zero.

With good knowledge you will know, that in typical auto service electricity is not used, they use pneumatic elevator, pneumatic drill machines, etc.

Usually, in office environments, pressurized air created by electric compressors, but large share of mobile services use compressors powered directly from combustion engine, and every modern semitruck include compressor and could provide pressurized air in limited amounts.
Somewhat unrelated, but getting on TRT has been the best thing to ever happen to me.

I've suffered very low test levels (well below reference range minimum) for a long time, due to being in SSRI meds for anxiety. Those meds do their jobs but crushed my test levels. Symptoms included lots of belly fat and man boobs (put on 30lbs in 2 years despite regular exercise), but the major issues were all psychological; low mood, low self esteem, no drive to do stuff.

Finally got on TRT and it's turned everything upside down in the best possible way. I'm more assertive, but calmer, less anxious but also willing to tackle issues. Way more drive and motivation to do stuff. Horny like a teenager. Belly fat is melting away and exercise is showing incredibly fast results. I'm so incredibly motivated to work out because I can literally see progress in the mirror on a weekly basis.

I do this all under doctors supervision (using a well known trt clinic in London), and have had no negative biomarker results, in fact quite the opposite, my lipids have gone from "you need help" to optimal. Even managed to knock up the wife. (I'm on HCG as well to maintain fertility).

Guys, get your hormones checked. It will transform your life.
I completely disagree:

- Removing the concept of files, folders, and folder paths

- Removing the concept of URLs and URL resolution

- Saving files directly to a cloud based storage without local offline representation

This is not deprioritising, this actively removing features and being hostile.

More worrying is how exceedingly fragile all of this is. One company bankrupcy, one government embargo, one anti-government protest in an opressive regime and all of your online self is gone.
"In addition, the judgment over matters of serious concern should be presided over by experts. No decision of serious concern should be made without a meta-study, to root out bias and find the best possible solution."

That's the system we have now and it fails all the time, because the "experts" would rather give any answer than no answer, even if their data or understanding is insufficient to yield an accurate prediction.

> This, I think, is pure recent bias

I don’t believe so. The Atari almost killed the VG industry until the NES revived it. [1] I think a big reason for this is how much better the games on NES were vs. the 2600 (but also the business and market saturation).

Some of the ports were just awful. I particularly remember how disappointed I was when I played Pac-Man, thinking it felt nothing like the arcade version. I had fond memories of going to Service Merchandise playing Donkey Kong on the Colecovision, amazed at how much better a port it was vs. Atari 2600.

Also, it’s hard to claim recency bias when you’re looking at 37 vs. 41 years ago — those periods blur together for me at this point. :)

A lot of NES games I still enjoy today are long dead and irrelevant today (Guardian Legend, Willow, Destiny of an Emporor, Crystalis, Faxanadu, just to name a few).

> From an EA perspective, SBF made a morally correct gamble since his intent was to donate all the winnings.

No, that's a caricature of EA (edit: AFAICT EA seems to be about working within the system). There are perfectly rational reasons not to break moral standards (such as not gambling with other people's money or lying about safekeeping it): the world becomes a worse and unstable place and becomes far harder to improve when everyone acts like that, when you can't trust other actors; and people will keep score of how you behave.

(In another comment I wrote what may seem to be a contradictory view, but I was considering a completely abstract gamble there, not what SBF actually did.)
Maybe only tangentially related, but I can share some of my personal experiences with hires at my current job. I work for a mid-size IT consultancy agency in the Netherlands which prides itself on almost exclusively hiring people with a masters in comp sci, or occasionally some other STEM field.

I'd say that 90% of the new graduates we hire straight up cannot program beyond what you'd need for your typical uni assignment (a few months ago one asked me what 'git' was). If they're motivated and eager to learn, I can usually get them to productivity in a month or two. The ones who are not take months to get up to speed and become a real drain on the team's productivity.

The more senior colleagues I interact with are kind of a mixed bag, some are really good and a pleasure to work with others have learned just enough to get by in their current role and become useless as soon as they have to do something slightly different.

That being said I do think that the level at my company is above average in relation to "the industry". If you want to see truly large amounts of non-contributing employees, have a look the IT-department of a large bank, pension fund, government agency or some other technology adjacent big organization. They can't hire the most talented engineers to start with and then most of them are actively kept from doing productive work by layers of middle-managers and bureaucratic procedures.

I get it. However...

I'm totally on board with government investment and industrial policy. Like The New Deal, race to the moon, highways, waterworks, etc. IRA, by any other name, is industrial policy and massive investment.

IRA is about 1/3rd the scope of Build Back Better. Pretty much cut & paste. All the programs they could sneak thru reconciliation, because of stupid Senate budget rules.

There's always objectionable specifics. Like the carve out for Manchin's new pipelines. But that's politics. And they're a tiny fraction of the whole.

That's fascinating. I always wondered why the political colours were backwards in the USA. The left is historically associated with red globally, and conservatives normally adopt blue, but in the US it's the other way around. Had no idea that was such a recent thing.
Yeah I struggle with this meme. Have been in the industry for nearly 25 years at this point. Never once have I had a colleague who straight up couldn't code. I've seen a number of crappy devs, but they could at least do soething.

And much more often than not, the underlying issue for those crappy devs was less their lack of coding skills and more general lack of critical thinking skills. Making bad decisions when faced with a choice, that sort of thing
Probably blasting your balls with UV light?
the real financial world really does work differently. even bizarre instruments like credit default swaps are rooted in an asset of real value (homes). stocks, bonds, real estate, these are all connected to things that have value or produce value, corporations, governments, land. crypto tokens are pure speculative assets that have value only so long as you can get suckers to buy them. they’re effectively really incredible counterfeits, that will be instantly worthless the moment the moment enough people realize that the sucker pool has run dry
As the article states, they're doing different things. It's not a runtime check. The point of making it undefined behaviour is that it enables the programmer to provide information to the compiler to enable better optimisation. The compiler is permitted to assume the programmer is correct about the path being unreachable, and may infer accordingly.
Due to popular demand, Google Calendar will be our first integration. After that, we'll consider adding more Calendars, like Outlook.
I want to offer a counter-point to some of the opinions held about testosterone in this thread.

For background: I started taking lifting weights when I was 14, to train for competitive powerlifting. By the time I was 17, I was on steroids.

I'm in my late 20's now, and I've got to be on TRT for life, due to how compromised my endogenous production of testosterone is (my Leydig's cells no longer function. They don't produce FSH/LSH, which in turn means I naturally produce the Test of an 80-year-old man).

I got lucky in that my response to TRT puts my testosterone up around 1,100ng/dL which is around twice what the average person has. And during my steroid use, I have bloodwork where my testosterone was over 10,000ng/dL and e2 (estradiol) were over 200 pg/mL.

You'd never know from talking to me, I'm super introverted and socially anxious. Even when I had the testosterone of quite literally 10 men, I was an introverted nerd who liked to sit quietly in my house and would prefer to lift by myself.

I don't have much else to offer the thread, but I want to throw out of the notion of "testosterone/estrogen makes you some crazed he-man" out as a wives tale. I think people like to use it as an excuse/scapegoat for their behavior.

Actually, maybe one interesting anecdote: My sex drive was no higher on copious amounts of anabolic steroids than it was before, often times it was worse
Pretty impressive to have built this in two years!

I'm a high-level PM and I'm not so sure why the tool is trying to do everything. I use a messaging app to talk to people. I use a todo app to track my personal and business commitments, and I use physical paper and timers to track my personal productivity (weekly plans, journals, timers, etc).

The beauty of PM work is that you can mix and match the tools that make you more effective over time. Maybe that's software, maybe that's more analog tools.

I think this is an excellent solution for teams that aren't established and small in nature though.

I especially feel it will be extremely difficult to compete with the likes of where Notion and GitHub are headed with project management tooling.
We are past the "first they laugh at you" stage, and well into "then they fight you".
Been watching this for over a decade, and didn't notice any major censorship until they understood their gig was up; Then, on very short notice, chats and forums flooded with FUD, censorship, all involved search terms got replaced heavily propagandized search results, and any alternative forums floodrd with disinfo. Then they went directly after individuals, with the media and courts; They seemed to never charge them for the stuff they smeared them with, but used anything that would stick, and anything that could actually be used as defense was not allowed. Even jury selection was messed with: If you knew anything about crypto, (if you could actually be consideted a peer) you were rejected.
They smear crypto as drug money, while still shipping dollars to drug lords by MAC Flight.
It is easy to see what they are doing, if you pay attention.

The question I've latently had for decades: "what's the difference between .COM and .EXE", is answered by this article. Great reading too, brings back some good memories about MS-DOS tinkering. customizing the prompt (prompt $p$g), fdisk /mbr, sys command that sets up boot files (msdos.sys io.sys and command.com).

And oh the time I have spent to write menu entries in autoexec.bat and config.sys, figuring everything out from floppy disks containing things like cdrom drivers. I wasn't much older than 10 years old back then and was so happy when someone gave me an update: MS-DOS 6.22.

Ask HN: Why are people trading over FTX or Coinbase?
First, apologies if I don't manage to use the right crypto jargon. I am an absolute beginner in crypto and just trying to educate myself.

Crypto is making news again after FTX going bust but being a beginner I fail to understand one thing. Why are people still trading over central exchanges? Wasn't it the very same philosophy on which bitcoin and blockchain in general was founded, that we don't trust central authority as they are prone to fraud and going bankrupt? Ain't we supposed to "own" our money and have zero dependence on any central agency?

Same way, I noticed that Coinbase is now asking for my personal details in order to "verify" my account. Wasn't crypto all about anonymity?

Hope it's not a very naive question.
I think it's easy to over-state how successful SBF was at Alameda. The biggest story of his trading at Alameda was doing an absolutely basic arb between Japan & the US. Sell BTC in the US, withdraw the funds, FX the currency into Yen, deposit in Japan, Buy BTC. Repeat. This is the sort of trade that only a totally nascent market has, and it's going to totally disappear very quickly the second anyone of any scale comes along. So yes, he probably made some money at Alameda, but highly unlikely he was a billionaire, and if the way you've made your money is a bunch of super dumb arb trades you can't be feeling very good about the future as real quants start to come in and push the market around. Also - the lovely thing about crypto hedge funds - you can just lie about how much money you've made, no one can really tell.

It was only really the exchange where he started to get real VC money in and that's when he became a paper billionaire. And when did he start defrauding investors? He did it to cover the losses of the hedge fund, which had got caught up in a load of over-leveraged bets. The point he started the fraud was basically when Alameda collapsed earlier this year, and let's face it, news of Alameda going bankrupt probably meant a run on FTX anyway. So whilst what he did was clearly stupid and unethical, I don't think there really was a point where he could walk away with a massive win (maybe apart from just timing the crypto market and getting out before the crash)

How easily can your family/friends find your stuff when you first give them access? For me it’s always a session where I have to guide them:

3) go to settings —> Quality —> Video quality and select original so you don’t transcode everything to 720p, 2mbps for no reason

4) go to settings —> Subtitles and enable subtitles so you don’t have to enable manually every time you play a video

I believe there isn't a lot of historical evidence that state-backed currencies emerged to deal with undesirable aspects of barter. That's pretty much just a myth people decided made sense, rather than something that happened in history.

We mostly don't know why money/currency came into existence, it happened so long ago.

There is some evidence that at least in some places it was to fund armies or generally provide more state (or pre-state ruler) control of the economy.

I don't really know what impact that has on whatever argument you're having, but anyway.
