I prefer Sidebery because it feels faster, more reliable (TST seems to struggle much harder with a higher number) and has a prettier default theme.

I think it also has many more config options, but I'm quite happy with the defaults.
It's a small village in Tuscany, not far from Florence called Carmignano.
The village is divided in 4 district, each one identified by a color (yellow, green, white and blue). During the festival, at the end of September, there is the parade and then a donkey race around the central square.
Look for "Festa di San Michele Carmignano" on Youtube so see some videos.
Exactly, the distinction is the good 'ol days, when there were only 3 news channels so there was no way to cover all the specific cases of non-meritocracy going on, and today, where there are many ways to communicate the long tail of all these cases.
Yes sir, I’ve observed this effect first hand -> it’s monumental how focused and dedicated I can be simply because another person is close by either watching, or helping with whatever I’m working on.

I hate the fact that I can’t really achieve that baseline when I’m doing something by myself though, which is my preference usually when I’m working.

A lot of tech coverage is just fawning hagiography rather than societally useful critical journalism, and a lot of people involved in tech seem to prefer it that way judging by their public words and actions - "don't question me - I'm changing the world!" The decline in ad revenues for papers and lack of employment opportunities for serious journalists doesn't help.
Suhail’s Twitter is definitely worth a follow as he is regularly tweeting about the everyday problems and challenges of running a startup. If you’re interested in the space it’s a good mix of technical and startup challenges and is one of the few Twitter accounts that provides great content all the time (in my opinion)

Of course not. It’s impossible. Take the presidency. Let’s say a very meritocratic person gets elected. There would be a hundred equally meritorious people who do not hold that office. Same for many things.

Meritocracy is a measure and some sort of idealized concept used for comparisons.

I believe it goes beyond merely stomach size. How much someone eats is also influenced by their threshold of appetite / hunger before triggering the response to eat. I go through phases where I make a decision to eat less (and feel a bit hungry) and after some days it becomes normal to the point it no longer triggers me to eat. My appetite is recalibrated and I doubt my stomach has shrunk that fast. So I feel there is a substantial mental aspect to it beyond the shrinking and enlarging of the gut.

And or course then there's the cultural habit / ritual of eating 3 times a day.
Things that cannot go on for ever don't. The end will likely be occur during some sort of a downturn as that's when there's an increase in the number of people needing to make use of their assets, but the end is inevitable regardless.

It's very analogous to regulating certain common chemicals as "controlled precursors." It's not that the government wants people not to have these substances, or that they want to restrict their use in making useful, non-controlled substances; rather, it's that they want to know who has these chemicals, so as to be able to attribute and trace any controlled substances that might be produced.

In this case, they want to have a list of everyone who's playing around with radar systems, because any such person could — entirely just by taking the commonly-available tech and advancing their own private understanding from there — become a fully-fledged radar engineer, and build a system that could be interesting to terrorists et al.
I don't think resolution is everything, I can definitely notice that the image is "better" in other ways when people are using proper cameras (whereas for a phone camera the resolution is a bigger part of what makes it better than a webcam), I'm quite happy with my own webcam being clear but not too clear though, it's a meeting not Instagram.
The evidence behind the salt/hypertension link is very well established, with direct experimentation.

Me too. It started a whole chain of events for me:

- I used the tutorial to write it in Dart (https://github.com/timsneath/dart_console/blob/main/example/...)

- I refactored the console pieces (raw mode, ANSI VT sequences) into a separate package (https://pub.dev/packages/dart_console)

- I wrote Windows interop code for the previously Unix-only parts of the editor

- I created a separate package for the Dart/Win32 interop pieces (https://pub.dev/packages/win32)

- I wound up growing and expanding this package to the full Win32 surface area

- Another OSS contributor took and extended my work to support the WinRT

Now there are tens of Dart packages that use the Windows interop work that all started with this little tutorial on a completely unrelated area. So thank you to the author!

Over experimenting with my own body with diet through about 20 years I'm always amazed at how big a role habit plays in appetite.

When I did intermittent fasting I got into the habit of never needing food until around 4pm.

The body adapts fairly quickly to whatever inputs you feed it, and it's amazing how little of diet advice focuses on that, to me

I think this is totally fine, but they will need a better definition of what is and is not permissible. “Corporate” is a word that has many meanings. What about other entity types-sole proprietorships, partnerships? How about for-profit vs non-profit? Educational use? By students vs. schools themselves and faculty? Etc.

If you start restricting things by type of use, you need an exceptionally thorough and clear license or you are going to wind up precluding many more people than you intend to.

There was a headline that made it to the top of HN just last week criticizing the fact that the NYT takes an overly critical viewpoint on tech. Most commenters seemed to agree. I’m not overly surprised, your take is the correct one: “how could you be critical, I’m providing so much value!”
I feel for the maintainer, but looking at the performance chart in the readme, I think any engineer will have a hard time getting their company to approve paying a license for such a small improvement over LLVM ld.

My big-tech company and my team don't care that build time for a small part of our application is 5 minutes (not a clean build, that would be an hour), so I know they wouldn't pay to save 10 seconds. And linking is not even all of the time to build your application.

From a financial point of view, the fact that the author is in Singapore and has a goal of $10K a month doesn't help.

I don't think anyone is saying that being average is bad. At least I'm not. My problem with these people is that the average is such a low quality of work and work ethics.

I want to be able to set a certain bar of quality and work ethics and I want the average developer to meet that bar, not for them to be so far below it that I have to hire way above average people just to reach the bar.

I agree with you that you want people that you can work with. The star developers with the attitude you describe is not someone I want to hire. However doing the bare minimum is so way below the bar that this better not be what the average developer does. I want those people to be the exceptions - way below average.
Space Invaders was by far the most played cart on my 2600. It was so faithful to the original arcade game and the difficulty ratcheted up just right.

I hadn't seen your version until now (wow!) but it does a great job of contrasting the trades that the designers of these games had to make when the resources they had to work with were so limited: here, a lot more invaders vs. substantially less resolution on each.
malloc is not a system call, it is a C library function. Modern operating systems clear memory when providing it to a process, but malloc implementations reuse the same memory locations previously used an arbitrary number of times within the process and normally do not clear memory when it is reused (within the process) for performance reasons.
In your post above, you justified not giving 1B to charity because it could be bet until it raised to 150B. But there is no reason why, by the same logic, you couldn't justify playing that 150B to raise it to any number rather than giving it away to charity today.
> the electorial system that leads to two parties with each close to 50%.

In the State elections law I have read, this is set up to happen like this.

For example, Illinois election law specifically mentions Ds and Rs.

Election law in other States often sets major/minor party donation limits and ballot name ordering based on things like prior off-year Governor results. This uses math to keep the "minor" party allowable donations low.

What State election law are you in and does it mention major/minor party?

This election law setup to move toward two parties is obviously known to your State legislators who team together to prevent fixing it. And the people eat it up and argue about side issues!

Quite an admirable effort in helping win the war for Ukraine: I am sure this will tip the scales.

We should support by asking for all other wars where international community agrees on who an "agressor" is to be similarly supported.

Don't get me wrong, this is a civilian, citizen initiative that anybody is free to pursue in raising awareness, and especially so those under attack. But pretending that this will help the war much is stretching it.

Unfortunately, this will push the argument of trusting open source dependencies further away, and it's already under attack.

Mighty was like compute arbitrage. The bet was that you could buy compute at cloud prices, resell it to end users, and since this is cheaper than buying consumer compute in the form of workstations, laptops, & tablets, you can pocket the difference.

I can't think of a bigger slice of consumer compute than browser workload; so if the scheme doesn't work there, it won't work for anything. My conclusion is that compute arbitrage isn't viable for B2C. You will have to actually provide a service on top of the resale. For example Github Codespaces is reselling cloud compute while simultaneously solving infra-as-code pain points in the CI/CD pipeline.
> Sadly this won't be the wake up call that we need to bring back some sort of meritocracy to American society.

Please someone define meritocracy and describe how that will save us.

Here is a definition I googled: "a ruling or influential class of educated or skilled people."

SBF seems to fulfill the requirements. He went to MIT and studied physics and was a quant at Jane street (He was literally born on Stanford Campus to two Stanford professors). Logic being that if you score high on tests and go to a good school then you are up for the task. There are even papers that state that the higher your IQ the more moral you are. If you work yourself to death than you have earned the merit (he even claims to have slept in his office). He is even a vegan and a committed altruist. You could not get much better on paper.

All of these criminals have merit. Liz Truss and Boris Johnson all read at Oxford. The supreme court of the US are mostly from Yale and Harvard. Trump went to UPenn. Many of the people scamming us today work really long hours and have gone to really good schools.
What is the reason though?

Even on a fullstack team, some folks will be better or gravitate towards certain tasks.
Cool and everything, but not sure about the relation to Kolmogorov complexity.

1) Are there any assumptions about the compression algorithm that approximates KC? E.g., I can imagine a compression algorithm which stops as soon as it manages to compress data by a single byte, and I don't think that approximates KC.

2) Isn't the KC of all these cellular automata basically the same, and rather low? It's always just Life with different constants, right? (Sometimes a bit lower, when the constants allow for further compression.) Edit: I see the mistake now, the CA needs to include initial conditions
Analogies always fall apart somewhere under scrutiny. This one is still useful though to compare. Vitamins are successful because there’s a lot of awareness and marketing (sometimes deceitful) about the benefits of vitamins. If you’re going to build a vitamin product be prepared to spend a lot in marketing and/or have a killer user experience with tangible results to be able to rely on word of mouth.
Eh, I couldn't stand all the cringe AI art tweets.
With modern medicine giving birth is very safe. I'm not sure if it's with what happened with Roe V Wade or something else but I've seen an uptick of people who seem to believe that a woman giving birth in a 1st world country in 2022 is basically rolling the dice with their life. Women do still die, but it's extremely rare now.

> everything has sugar in it, and you have to absolutely avoid it, not just sweets, fruits, juices, I'd even tell you diet drinks and artificial sweeteners too. That means no ketchup, sauces, breads, and most processed and store bought foods.

Realistically how do you avoid sugar like this? Soft drinks, candy, and other artificial stuff are easy enough to avoid, but most bread? Fruits? What are you supposed to eat and how are you supposed to obtain it without involving sugar? Are you suggesting people eat pure meat and lettuce and eggs for 6-8 weeks? It would be so much more helpful to give some examples of sample diets people could actually follow.

(What specifically are you saying needs to be avoided btw? Sucrose and fructose and artificial sweeteners I assume, but not glucose?)
I am more amazed that the lineage was not made painfully aware to you from the start.

This is by choice, while it is really convienient to interrupt execution flow by throwing an arbitrary value, it's extremely hard to know whether calling library code can throw, and if yes, what kind of errors, without exceptional documentation.

The Result<T,E> type is very explicit, and can be easily ignored, composed or "re-thrown" with the "?" suffix without nested try/catch blocks. Return value based error handling is something Go, Elixir and other more functional languages have also adopted.

Panic is there to aleviate the really exceptional circumstances, when the trade-off for possible program termination is worth the much simplified error handling, such as when casting to a smaller integer type in case of overflow, or locking a mutex when it may be in a posioned state (which, funnily enough, can arrive when a panic occurred whilst the mutex was previously locked, i.e. the mutex guard is dropped during a panic).

Show HN: A digital library of hard-to-find economics and theology books
About a year ago, I started downloading Internet Archive OCR transcriptions of old public-domain books I was interested in that weren't readily available. I would go through and correct the transcriptions and post it on this website for others to read and find.

I've transcribed about 40 books about distributism, Georgism, and non-resistance/Christian pacifism.

If anyone has book requests, ideas to improve the site, or ways to improve the automation of this process, I'd love to hear it!

Meh, desktop Intel/AMD chips still beat M1, and are more versatile for gaming etc.
Ask HN: Why is only apple.com like apple.com?
On Apple.com I can do the following:

1. In a glance see the complete range of products they offer.

2. Easily compare products within a same category. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro for example.

3. Compare current generation with previous generation. iPhone 14 vs iPhone 12 for example.

4. See the overview, tech specs and then can subsequently configure and buy a product within 3 clicks.

5. Lastly I can easily see pricing / products in different countries.

Now when compared to Microsoft's homepage (www.microsoft.com), I can do none of those things.

Especially clicking on the Surface link, takes me to a page which lists all sorts of different surface products. Some looks like tablets, some have similar name to the tablets but are laptops? Their name conveys no information as to what is what. There is no product category as Apple's.

Besides that, they seem to promote Windows, Teams and Microsoft 365 but there's no direct link to Azure?

Lastly, Google's pixel website is even more confusing since they have no website. They have a geography specific store. https://store.google.com/
Why only the system? In every fraud there are thousands of people working in these same companies and afterwards we only hear "We didn't know anything.". The CEO takes a deal and everyone walks.
Not really related, but this reminds me of an issue I once saw where starting vi on one of our servers took something over a minute. Everywhere else it was imperceptibly fast. It eventually turned out that in the distant past someone had accidentally piped a large file into vi, and so every time it started up it was loading up a command history that included this stupidly big file to absolutely no purpose, annoying everyone but not quite enough that anyone else had tracked down the cause.
Crypto prices are tanking with this news but DeFi and the blockchain is doing fine. Uniswap and Aave still processing user funds securely.
I think Stadia failed because of a combo of reasons. Main 2 being: 1) Google. 2) Their pricing model made no sense.

Geforce NOW (NVIDIA's Stadia) works a lot better IMO, and doesn't require you go through them to acquire games. It lets you stream games you already have access to on say Steam or where ever.
"It's a self-control issue" well, obviously? It's also a completely useless and un-actionable observation, unless your goal is to feel better by pointing fingers, in which case, suit yourself.
