Ask HN: Is there editors and IDE crisis?
I have started feeling that we hit a editors and IDEs crisis. Basically, right now, we only have two big players - VS Code and Jetbrains. There also Sublime, Atom, but I don't feel they are very popular.

For me, VS Code is too buggy, at least for Go, and Jetbrains is too resource-heavy.
There is new product of jetbrains, which is Fleet, but they require you to install Jetbrains Toolbox for it, which I don't want at all, and I don't feel that Fleet has an improved performance.

Now I'm back to using Neovim and couldn't be happier. What do you think is the future of IDEs and editors? Is there something new I'm missing out?
Never heard of the Blue Ocean Strategy before. Super interesting read, thanks for mentioning it.
> If you’re building a kiosk, it’s hopefully obvious to avoid having any read-write mounted filesystems at all costs.

I wish there was support for this out of the box in linux distributions. Either by providing a (sub)set of software that doesn't need to write, and/or adding an overlay. Even for rasperries which are often used in a way where they would benefit it requires some work to set things up.

Having that kernel parameter set automatically when in that mode would be nice, too.

Or maybe I'm just not aware that distributions for this specific use-case exist.
I love coffee, and most of the time I go to specialty coffee shops just because they know the basics of making coffee: not heat up the milk more than necessary, and the coffee beans shouldn't be burned too much (which is necessary for the worst part of the coffee beans).

Sadly most of the coffee shops don't even try to achieve these two things.
> If they enjoy this truffle oil made from gasoline, why not eat it

The article does say that, but makes the (valid) point that it's not okay to sell it pretending that it's "the real stuff" with a corresponding price tag.

What I'm curious about is that the author seems to suggest these artificial flavouring are unhealthy ("causing long-term damage to [...] your stomach and palate") but doesn't say why.
Hydro makes even more sense to complement renewables. The storage and grid infrastructure is already there for the few times in a day when there is no wind or sun.
I don’t think that’s right. I would think the effect of melt of glaciers on mountains would be negligible and the effect of the poles melting and sending that water down to the poles would slow down rotation, like an ice skater pushing their arms out.
more like monopoly on the venue service. (a place where you have the permit to organize large group events, so proper exits, toilets, accessibility (if required); bag/clothes storage, waiting area, permit to sell alcohol, staff for all this, sufficient electricity connection, HVAC, ability to assemble a stage and the frame for lights and the soundsystem)

for example rave organizers in LA can do it in a lot of potential warehouses, because they have the staff & process to get the permits, setup the tech, cleanup, etc.

but as the gig grows fewer and fewer venues can host it, and that's how LiveNation managed to consolidate most of the high-capacity venue market

and there is efficiency in vertical integration, for everyone involved. what people find atrocious is the lack of cost breakdown transparency.

bands and ticketmaster/LiveNation could simply hide everything, display just the actual final price and then distribute the cash according to their actual contracts (which they do anyway)

why they anger the masses with this is completely beyond me, but ... after spending a few years on the outskirts of this industry, I think they just have bigger problems, never really understood UX anyways, nothing forces them to do so, aaand it absolutely keeps the conversation on them and not on bands/venues, etc.
>Managers, consciously or unconsciously, are more likely to create invisible problems to justify their job. Or worse, they prevent real problems from being solved in order to preserve their scope. They are incentivized to do so: If someone is in charge of a problem, and that problem is solved, they no longer have a job.

It should be secondary if Musk is more like a manager or an entrepreneur. The question is whether he personally can make Twitter better or not.

There come mixed signals from his other investments but it stands out that he questions existing procedures within industries. As such, despite all the negative decisions, it is quite likely that he can lift Twitter's roadblocks. It could as well be Twitter that is the globally dominating social network.
Start with something simple, like: https://jlcollinsnh.com/2011/06/08/how-i-failed-my-daughter-...

You may have to adjust it slightly if you can’t buy Vanguard directly, and should probably have more domestic exposure to whatever economy you’ll be participating in most throughout your life, but the basics really are pretty simple.

Anytime someone tries to make it seem more complex, assume they’re reaching for a slice of your pie. You’ll be right way more than not.

right? I had to stop watching it about half way in because it became so tedious and nonsensical.
Emphasis on "aren’t well-suited to it", I guess. It gets complicated once you want to parameterize each node.

For the past year or so I've been "typing graphs" into YAMLs. It's definitely doable, but hard to follow, especially with cyclic graphs.

N8N is a very popular nocode workflow builder with a great UI. They store workflows (graphs) as JSON. I use this complicated workflow https://n8n.io/workflows/1534-back-up-your-n8n-workflows-to-... in my homelab but I can't find a public JSON representation of it. It'd be a great example of how to present a complicated graph. I'll add it as an edit if I find it.

EDIT: I found one public workflow backup on github. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thethanghn/n8n-workflows/d...

It's not that bad.
Why is accelerated graphics mandatory? I'd think most non-gaming, non-graphics-heavy apps would do fine with the CPU.
Imagine a universe, where, when you combine two apples (or really anything), you always, through some weird physical process, end up with three items.

Would that invalidate (or not), the statement that 1 + 1 = 2?
SpaceX did some good standard mainstream solutions. Sometimes success is not about some exotic innovation but doing your normal job well. A standard lox kerosene gas generator rocket engine. Flat aluminum panel construction. Only the interstage is composite. Started small with Falcon 1. The Merlin engine had heritage from NASA's FASTRAC program.

If you look at Ariane V, Atlas V or Delta IV, they all have some peculiarities and operational warts. Large solid rockets, Russian engine, hydrogen. In some sense, Falcon 9 is the most "ordinary" of the launchers available now.
I don't get why these filters are needed. I was relatively early to the internet compared to most people (I'm 33 but I grew up on the internet since around the age of 7) yet I grew up perfectly fine without needing to be blocked from adult content. A kid seeing a sex scene in something they stumble upon is not going to scar them for life... Additionally I was never forced to use a piece of school equipment that had filtering. The most I experienced filtering was when I, on the rare case, happened to use the computers at the library instead of the ones at home and laughed at/was annoyed by the silly filtering.

Much worse than adult content is addictive content that forms obsessive behaviors (things like Tiktok or more lightly social media in general).

The other thing to be wary about is when it's possible for a child to give their private information away to someone in a way that can harm themselves. i.e. make sure cameras are non-functional on any child's device. That wasn't an issue when I was a kid but is very much a danger today.
> "Just because something is extracted from petroleum doesn't mean it must always taste or smell like gas"

But in this case it does, what's your point ?
They are essentially part of the root structure of psychoactive fungi.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclerotium

Also, they are absolutely disgusting. Find someone who will sell you the shrooms instead :)

I believe culinary truffles are more the-thing-itself, rather than a secondary supporting structure such as sclerotium.
It think the difference lies in valuing the process or the result.

Personally I think like you, if the product tastes good and the atmosphere is fine for the advertised price I'm 100% satisfied.

If the restaurant manages to achieve that with cheaper ingredients (while maintaining hygiene and not outright lying) I consider that a good business practice.
they already do that. it's not great
>I'm French and I live in France. Here, most of our truffles are real truffle.

In Michelin star restaurants maybe. Else, you'd be surprised...
I believe truffle may be like coriander (cilantro) elucidating a disgust response in some people. I just cannot stand its smell, or taste, and avoid truffle fries and truffle oil extras.

It's not about being fungi, I love other mushrooms.

I love coriander. I just know some people say "soap" and wrinkle their noses. Well.. truffle does that to me, and I've had chunks of it the size of nuts in France in the early 70s, I know it wasn't some factory extract (it was the mayors birthday and we lucked into it with a local)
> The first big project I worked on was to develop a call detail record (CDR) search tool.

Dunno if they're still used but I wrote a whole bunch of CDR libraries/viewers/decoders for a telco consultancy that saved people a whole bunch of time back in ~2006-7.
Does it have an option to filter both ways? Do not show NSFW vs. show only NSFW? The latter would probably be use a lot more.
There are two pieces of law about two very different things. (IANAL.)

- The ePrivacy Directive from 2002 (!) is (in its opt-in part) about sites storing stuff by whatever mechanism on the user’s computer (not just cookies, despite its nickname of “cookie law”). The explanatory text allows the “storage or GTFO” approach you are referring to. No mention is made of deletion of data, as the directive is purely about client-side storage, and the user can presumably delete that. Any storage technically required for the site to operate (e.g. login cookies) is specifically exempted, it need not even be mentioned.

I would not say this turned out particularly useful, but, well, in 2002 Microsoft was publishing books on .NET thick clients with chapters on interoperability with COM+ distributed transactions and SOAP was the hot new thing not even in Recommendation status yet. Nobody can see the future all that well, large organizations especially.

(I understand a more useful update to that has been stalled by GAFAM lobbying efforts for years now.)

- The General Data Protection Regulation from 2016 (not a typo, there was a generous grace period) is about organizations tracking people through whatever means. The “tracking or GTFO” choice (or its close relative, “tracking, money, or GTFO”, as seen e.g. on French newspaper sites even today) is explicitly illegal, though of course showing ads with no tracking is not in scope. As the tracking data is stored by the organization, the user can demand that it be deleted. Any tracking technically required for the organization to operate (e.g. lists of customers who have used their free trial) is specifically exempted to the extent that the requirement exists (e.g. as long as the free trial is offered).

This one is working out better, although there seem to be tricky international law issues (“directive” vs “regulation”, jurisdiction etc) that mean that enforcement is less efficient that it could have been (e.g. Google and Facebook have mainly been prosecuted via ePD, as the GDPR complaints have to be routed through the Irish authorities, who have jammed their fingers into their ears and gone “lalala can’t hear you”).
You might be right about taking advantage of the situation and hiring more. That said:

big !== smart

Group think / riot mentality is real in all humans. Business success and positions of power don't make you immune to being human.

Finally, some of the layoffs are due to adjustments in directions and priorities. No need to tell the shareholders you've had failing ideas on the books. Instead just cut them all lose, just like your peer companies and no one will ask any questions.
Meh. I like the Fusion Festival raffle system better.

Allow people to sign up to buy, optionally as a group (all/none "win") - then randomly assign "purchase rights".

The main downside might be the need for ID checks to verify no scalping.

>People should do more thinking with their taste buds and less with what they hear.

First people should not be lied to by restaurants and the food industry, and prices should not be jacked up selling crap as premium...

Then they can decide freely if they like gasoline-derived oil for what it is itself...
If it’s controlled by the state then, by definition, it’s controlled by a crook.

You can run the larger models just fine on a 3090. Large takes about 10G for transcribing English.

For a 1:17 file it takes:

6s for base.en, I think 2s to load the model based on the sound of my power supply.

33s for large, I think 11s of which is loading the model.

Varies a lot with how dense the audio file is, this was me giving a talk so not the fastest and quite clean audio.

While I saw near perfect or perfect performance on many things with smaller models, the largest really are better . I'll upload a gist in a but with Rap God passed through base.en and large.

edit -

Timings (explicitly marked as language en and task transcribe):

base.en => 23s

large => 2m50

Audio length 6m10

Results (nsfw, it's Rap God by Eminem): https://gist.github.com/IanCal/c3f9bcf91a79c43223ec59a56569c...

Base model does well, given that it's a rap. Large model just does incredibly, imo. Audio is very clear, but it does have music too.
Heh, I discovered your comment while googling to fix the same. I'm in the same boat as you; it's seriously annoying and distracting. Did you ever find a solution?
Petroleum is not mentioned anywhere in that article. It does say that truffle oil may be based on any kind of oil.

This is so cute and cool! While I don't know, whether I want to play long Quake sessions on my watch, it shows that the Apple watch is a quite powerful compute device. Actually, it should be more powerful than most workstations of the 90ies, as it has a dual-core 64bit Processor.

It also shows, how much the watch and some other Apple devices are held back by the software restrictions. Basically any software released in the 90ies should run easily on the watch. Of course, due to the small screen size and the lack of a keyboard, a totally different UI would be needed, but if people were really free to experiment and distribute, a huge field of new software could be opened.
Maybe you don't ask questions that brings back the answers you want ?
The first time I tasted coriander cake was on my friends' family boat. He and his mother made it and he was really proud.

Taylor Swift did do something a bit like this this for a previous tour - you could get early access to the ticket sales by doing various kinds of fan activities, including buying physical copies of her records, watching videos, and posting on social media [1]. People were kind of mad about it, although I think in part that was because the "fan activities" that gave you the best chance to get tickets were the ones that also involved buying things.

Aroma Science Technology is widely used in the food industry, often out of necessity. There aren't enough strawberries in the world to meet the demand for strawberry flavoured ice cream. Food scientists identified the chemical that makes strawberry taste like strawberry and managed to produce it artificially. The same applies to truffle oil. At least in Europe it should be possible, other than by price, to identify if you are buying genuine truffle oil or truffle flavoured oil. However prepare to pay. 250 ml (8.5 fl Oz) of truffle oil cost around $100 at Fortnum and Mason. I would recommend you buy from reliable sources only and definitely resist to urge to buy before Christmas as the market is flooded with truffle flavoured alternatives at the moment.
Floating point infinity is "actual infinity". It has all the correct mathematical properties. If you want to slam a special IEEE constant, you should slam 0, which has different properties from mathematical zero.

The Welsh language isn't part of the cultural identity of most English-speakers in Wales. That's why they find it annoying when their children are forced to learn it. It's like forcing every child in Brittany to learn Breton when most of the population speaks French and has no desire to speak Breton.
The specifics depend on the country you’re in. In the UK for example there’s a type of investment account (ISA) in which you don’t have to pay tax on any income from capital gains or dividends. There are also private pensions that have other tax benefits but require you to lock your money until a certain age. Both of these might be preferable to a general investment account. Similar tax-advantaged accounts might be available in your country. And then there’s the choice of actual platform, and that also varies by country.
Tech is debt. It is best to have none, but often taking some on leaves you better off.

What is of concern, generally speaking, is your debt service ratio. The costs to maintain the tech relative to the benefit it brings.

If you derive significantly more benefit than the maintenance cost then your tech debt is healthy. As costs start to approach the benefit, or worse exceed it, then you have a problem. Either you need to settle your debts (give back the tech to the nothingness you borrowed it from), or refinance at a lower rate.

A complete rewrite repays the old debt and takes on new debt in hopes of a new lender providing a lower rate, but not only does this not eliminate debt the new lenders can be tricky and squeeze you when you’re not looking, more often than not leaving you with an even higher rate. The devil you know can certainly be beneficial.
But this is something that's really difficult to regulate. A good example is that wine brewed from natural yeasts that smells like horseshit. It was branded as "barnyard".
the author also says that the chemical is actually found in truffles
One tone deaf component of EA (and others) is that there seems to be a belief in near infinite scalability of providing help. But mainly what i see as a very arrogant western savior complex that, whilst undoubtedly helping individuals in some cases, is adrift from the reality of the nation states they seek to "help" people in. Now they do consider these points but never come to realistic conclusions.

Much of Sub Saharan Africa leverages a century of western innovation in social justice to oppress, manipulate and impoverish their citizens. Money spent there will be subject to rampant theft. Even in once more developed nations like South Africa this corruption is everywhere.

The side effect of aid permeation also means a death to local economic growth. It also enables significantly higher fertility levels than most western countries that are not matched by economic growth to supply jobs.

To do anything about that would require semi-imperialistic state capture to ensure standards of governance that currently exist in few of the concerned countries.

The world has become so obsessed with using data to make decisions that it fails to step back and look at the bigger picture. This goes for The Gates Foundation too.

This sounds good, and it would be a fine goal. The problem is that the very-very short deadline contradicts any good reasons, and he handles the whole situation terribly. I don’t think that there is any competent developer, who didn’t resign, or started to search a new job after the past few weeks (except who are religiously blind Musk fans, and people on visas). Even if only half of the stories are true. I did quit jobs for way less.

The goals which you wrote can be achieved with far superior tools, which wouldn’t have alienated developers, whose skills are really-really valuable on the market. In such environment, as what Musk created, they are the first who will abandon the ship. They have every possibility to work in any kind of environments what they want.
