I'm neutral because I don't care, I'm only watching it when I'm exposed to it through others, so essentially like a popular TV show.

What I've read some say is that it's a strategy to drastically reduce head count and keep only those people on who really want to be there and are not just there because it's a well-compensated position and they've figured out how to appear busy without doing much. Those people might leave when it becomes a chore to keep up appearances ("this feels like work, if I wanted to work I could've just done my job"), they're self-identifying and you're not paying severance when they quit. Of course, you're probably also bleeding out some talented and productive people. I don't know if "it's a mess, but it's the challenge of a lifetime" and the chance to work for Musk is enough to recruit good people, but it might be, not everyone has a family and needs to be home by 5pm and wants work-life-balance.

Trump was elected president riding on a wave of lots of people hating him and the media covering him 24/7 in a constant scream of GOTCHA and it worked out for him. Musk has claimed that Twitter usage is peeking among all of this. It kind of looks like a Wrestling show with lots of crazy things happening, only that not all participants are aware of what's happening or willing to participate. I have no idea whether it works out in his favor.
But an external HDD is not going to sync to a central server or other devices. icloud/onedrive etc is not just the space but also redundancy and backup and sync bultiin.
I'm an i3 elitist myself, but I think you're missing the point that not everyone wants i3

I would honestly start looking for places that make software for music people. You have some domain knowledge that could be useful. Believe it or not, being able to pick up domain knowledge quickly, being able to write and speak well, and other soft skills will go a long way to helping you get employed in the field.
You're right about the metric, but this paper falls into the category of information analysis, not science. As you say, the results for this kind of work usually depend on the metric, and since those metrics are at the choice of authors, the result are open to debate. I'm not saying that the results are uninteresting, only that it is risky to make strong conclusions based on them.

For example, I work in a multidisciplinary field. Once I counted the citations per word of text in papers published in the separate disciplines. I found that biology-oriented research had a cite/word rate that was about 5 times that of physics-oriented research. I don't think that says anything really significant about the two fields, but it is something worth knowing, when judging tenure files.
Who is gonna onboard those new engineers? I subscribe to Peter Naur's view of programming as theory building, the knowledge of what these applications running inside Twitter do is being lost on a fast pace, the code itself doesn't tell the whole theory behind the code.

Institutional knowledge is necessary to sufficiently onboard any new hire, without that you have headless chickens running around trying to figure out what exactly are they working with. How do you solve Chesterton's Fence when there's no one around to tell you why the Fence is there?
Does the article say anything about indefinite hockey stick growth? It seems a lot more measured, just saying that Moore’s law will keep going for at least another decade or so.
Not that I know of. But interestingly there is a theoretical limit. One implication of that is of course that there can’t be an open ended equivalent of Moore’s law; any such law must come to end.
I really hope you are joking 100%, because

(b) Go home and be happily oblivious that six other systems silently started to produce wrong results since the meaning of the column has changed. But, of course, that is someone else’s problem, some other day, when several months of reports and forecasts have to be recalled and updated.
As bad as I feel for all the Twitter peeps whose lives were upended by this whole mess, it sure does feel satisfying to watch that weasel Musk get his comeuppance.
<humour>Well, did you ever see sight of IPv5 ?</humour>
Meta deploys small changes continuously. If you have a bigger change, it should get broken up into smaller easily reviewable atomic changes.
> He doesn't understand that Twitter's business relies on pleasing advertisers, who don't give a crap about free speech ideals and are very risk averse.

Musk does not care about free speech either.
The business really isn't any more professionalised than it used to be. The popular music business has a long history going all the way back to popular printed sheet music in the 19th century. It's always been mercenary, manipulative, and cynical. Simon Napier-Bell - who used to manage Wham! and other familiar names - has written some fascinating books about it. They're a must read for anyone interested in the history.

There are always competing forces pulling music towards simplicity and complexity. Whenever the complexity is squashed in one place it comes back in another.

The biggest change over the last decade or so has been increasingly ornate production. In the 80s mixes were semi-automated, but you couldn't do much except change levels. Now you can automate everything - levels, EQ, EQ type, effects, effect parameters - with extreme precision and accuracy.

So most modern mixes have constant subtle changes. They don't leap out like a key change, but (for example) the vocal tone and the effects on the vocal will often change phrase by phrase. Or even word by word.

I've been teaching an afterschool class for the last six or so years for kids using scratch, whilst yes its aimed at that level - it does allow you to understand concepts so easy, especially as you can build, rearrange and change like lego bricks.

I find out stuff I didn't know when I am just noodling around designing lesson plans for the next week - what you learn will follow you and help with other coding.
Validate AR e-commerce idea

I am building my own AR e-commerce where brands can list their products and I will convert their product in 3D and add AR features for free in exchange for a small commission fee on per sale of the product. I need some suggestions regarding marketing. I will post my fully functional website in 1 week on LinkedIn, FB, Instagram but how to make it known throughout my target customers?
professional baseball has its amphetamine era too. honestly a shot or two seems logical far as pain management goes - but ibuprofen could potentially be comparable

Yes, but not (simply) with OneDrive, as the branding would suggest. Lesson learned, anyway.
At first it felt ‘magical’ being able to reach self-hosted services from my phone regardless of my location, but I quickly noticed the battery drain as well. I believe it has to do with an always-on ‘VPN’ and I don’t expect any improvements soon.

I’ve decided that Tailscale works perfect for all my computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS, laptop and VPS), but not for my mobile devices. To mitigate this I use cloudflared on my VPS to route internet traffic over tailscale to any internal services that I often use on my phone.

Cloudflared has good options for securing a tunnel by using MFA methods, for example Google authentication.

For the rare occasion that I need to access something else I can always temporary join the Tailscale network from my phone.
> There are probably healthy examples like dancing

(almost) None are healthy since their motivation isn't healthy in the first place. It's just triggering our monkey brain part which seeks attention, the problem is that it was never designed to be world wide scale, you end up with an army of mimics doing the most random shit ever for internet points, 99% of it being either useless or borderline pornography
As a clinical researcher, I wholeheartedly agree. Even worse, meta analysis is comparatively so well cited (even shitty ones) that doing anything else, such as original research, will be suboptimal since the reduced time investment allows you to publish nonstop. Truly, meta analysis has become a blood-ducking parasite of medical science.

I know many young researchers who've specialized in meta analysis for that reason.
Because it is dumb, insensitive to people losing their lives on the the front lines and makes it seem like Russia is _actually willing_ to get out of Ukraine if only it is allowed to keep Crimea, which it clearly is not?
Most consumers buying netbooks weren't buying them for programming, they were buying them to, as their name implies, surf the net, and that made them the first victims of the mobile device revolution as now you could surf the net much better on a phone or tablet and had better UX and much more addictive apps.

Netbooks being used for programming was a very niche use case (maybe not on HN, but in general). Most programmers had more powerful and versatile PCs/laptops at the time for that.

That explains why they disappeared so quickly. But yeah, they were excellent for cheap linux devices.
They might get squashed for review or before merge, making the distinction less important. When you are running a monorepo you generally don't get long series of small commits in a batch but rather a singular atomic commit.
Isn't the correct answer here that you could never be travelling at the speed of light to begin with?
Hey desgeeko,

from a past project we‘ve left a python PDF renderer - might be somehow useful or inspirational…

https://github.com/systori/bericht
I used one of these for years for programming whilst travelling at university.

It worked well, but I could pretty much only run one program at a time. It felt more like the old microcomputers in that respect!

But that forced me to use dwm and Arch Linux, and learn a lot more in the process.
Made me think of that scene from Seinfeld.
This maybe your conclusion but stating it as base truth is a pretty uninformed take.

DNA was discovered on LSD, among countless other major works in math, science, literature, CS, and other fields.

Just Google "things discovered on drugs" or "famous/accomplished people that took drugs", the list is loooong.
One of the greatest marketing moves of all time is coming up with the name "Adderall". It's just amphetamine! Well, a slightly different stereoisomer mix, but just amphetamine nonetheless. Sounds a million times better though, especially if your kid is about to take it.
"No data to display at present. Please come back later."

I have never ever seen anything but this - given they are very low volume domains I assume this means they are not being abused (although the dmarc reports for at least one of them have 5-10 rejected attempts each day)
It makes me wonder how much “infrastructure runway” a company like Twitter has. If every engineer resigns, how long will it take before the infrastructure stops working autonomously… server/DB hard drives fill up or crash, PSUs die, high maintenance processes grind to a haunt, network capacity stops scaling, etc.
That was my correction =)
> “Sorry”, “I’m no expert”, and “!” supposedly all “denote lack of confidence”. Frequent use “makes you appear unfit for leadership”, according to economist Sylvia Ann Hewlett

Very telling, about economists at least.

> the exclamation mark “reveals the insecurities of millennials”, who are over-eager to please and working hard to acquire a reputation for chirpy enthusiasm

Seems like all millennials I know are very untypical, then.

I don't really care what people use, just don't write things like this!!! or with tons of emoji!!!!! because I have yet to see a single text written like that which was worth reading.
Is it possible to directly edit the text?
Pairing can sidestep both of these problems. No context interruption and reviewed continuously.
With what money? He alienated all sponsors because anyone can successfully impersonate any brand in there now, and he's already spent >40b just to buy the damn thing.
Because Russia has been taking pieces of land from Ukraine since 2014. If you'd hand over more land to Russia now, they'd invade again in a couple of years, with their army stronger than it is now.

Besides that, appeasement has never worked against aggressors in the past. It basically looks like Musk is calling for another Munich Agreement. It shows a complete lack of understanding of history, and of international relations.
Any concrete examples of liability being brought up against a developer?

The theory is one thing, the reality is another. Continuous updates are universally treated by developers as a carte blanche for any changes, including drastic reworking of the UI, refactoring established features and generally messing up user experience. So the resistance to this model is very real and well justified for that reason alone, without considering the subscription aspect of it.

* Besides, if a developer screwed up so badly that a patch is required, it's only fair and reasonable for that patch to be provided pro bono.
These laptops have a severe flaw that nobody seems to be speaking about.

The speakers point DOWNWARDS!

They're supposed to be pointing upwards, towards where your ears are supposed to be.

The downwards pointing speakers are a good fit for 2 in 1 laptops, that transform into tablets, as the most common usage of those is to fold them over, therefore pointing the speakers towards yourself.

But not LAPtops. These either sit on a desk, directing the sound towards plywood, or if you use them in bed, or on top of a blanket (when not working and using it as a personal device), sound getting muffled by the fabric.

I've tested ones of the tuxedo laptops we bough a while back that has the same flaw. The sound muffling is not that big, but it is noticeable, compared to my HP laptop with speakers next to the screen above the keyboard. And of course, compared to a macbook, it sounds horrible.

Bad speaker placement and bad speaker quality. I guess it's OK for work purposes but if you want to use it as a personal device that you want to enjoy during your past time, you, just like me, will get frustrated.
Can you speed up shorts? I know regular YouTube videos can be played at 2x speed.
I think drums are more expressive than rap, in comparison rap sounds monotone, but monotone drumming isn't used in music.

Yeah I bought some cheap server with storage off OVH and keep a syncthing instance there (with archiving enabled) + some backups just for that reason.

I kinda thought about also getting a solar/battery backed small server that was connected via WiFi for backup for galvanic isolation (for case when it hits nearby power pole and not building directly) but eh, would need to be in noticeable distance from everything else to make sense

I don’t think OP is advertising this.
what black magic is this?

Both of which of course have a lot to do with reduced attention span.
Message from the Chair of the UNC Computer Science Department (personal phone number elided):

Dear Friends,

It is with great sadness that I must share the following update on the health of the Department Founder Dr. Frederick P. Brooks, Jr. I know how much Dr. Brooks has meant to the department, to computer graphics, to the world of computing, and to each of you. So I wanted to reach out and pass on the following message from his son, Roger Brooks.

Dr. Samarjit Chakraborty
Chair, UNC Department of Computer Science

– Begin Forwarded Message –
Subject: Frederick's condition and his Hope

Dear ones:

As you may have heard, on Saturday my father came home from the hospital into hospice care. He spends most of the time sleeping. When (slightly) awake, he is only slightly responsive, and not able to respond verbally to questions. He seems to be in no pain and no particular discomfort. He is eating and drinking small amounts, but far from enough.

Frederick P. Brooks Jr. has fought the good fight, run the good race, been an outstanding husband and father and mentor and friend of many . . . and is now fading away. His hope and his coming joy, in death and in life, is in his Lord Jesus Christ, who I know will welcome him with “Well done . . .”.

The hospice nurse tells us that my father may live several days to 10 days or so.

You may share this information with all who would want to know. I know that I am missing email addresses for beloved friends which exist somewhere in my parents’ contact lists, and I apologize that I do not have time to dig for those.

With family and aides around, we have ample help. If you would like to come and visit my mother, or bring your last respects and prayers to my father, please just call the house first. Close friends are welcome, but it is hard to predict in advance when things will be busy or peaceful.

Kori Robbins, associate pastor at Orange Methodist Church, visited yesterday and prayed what I thought was exactly the appropriate, loving, and merciful prayer, which she tells me she adapted from Douglas McKelvey's A Liturgy for the Final Hours. We ask you to join in this prayer:

O God our Father,
O Christ our Brother,
O Spirit our comforter,

Fred is ready.

Now meet him at this mortal threshold
and deliver him to that eternal city;
to your radiant splendor;
to your table and the feast and
the festival of friends;
to the wonder and the welcome
of his heart's true home.

He but waits for your word.
Bid him rise and follow,
and he will follow you
gladly into that deeper glory,

O Spirit his True Shepherd,
O Christ his True King,
O God his True and Loving Father,
receive him now, and forgive his sins,
through the blood of his Savior Jesus Christ.

Roger Brooks Sr.
Exactly. We'll see very soon after the news. Never during the middle of the outrage and the height of the chaos.

Admittedly this might not help since it is not CLI, but spend some time this weekend with Emacs and magit. You don't have to use emacs for anything else, just the magit client. It will transform your git experience.
> It appears (although everything is unclear) that the 8bn hole was caused by customer dollar payments for ftx going to alameda as ftx didn’t actually have a bank account.

Despite the notional legal structure, I think the key thing is that FTX, FTX.US, Alameda Research, and the other 130 or so entities involved were mostly not, in any meaningful sense, distinct businesses, it was all just three grifters in a trenchcoat.
Checked Exceptions are really not worse than error result types unless you abuse them for normal control flow. Normally, Rusts exception handling is almost exactly isomorphic to checked exceptions in Java.

For general results cases (i.e. non exceptional cases), there exist a million small solutions in java.
Your comment is very useful to me.

It spurned a chain of events that you might find interesting.

I am interested in parallel software and multithreading, so that's the kind of software I enjoy writing.

The branches of a single threaded software can think of potential future interleavings.

Your post inspired me to think of programs as "circular" or not. That is, they return to a steady state and can function properly no matter how many times they run and whether or not the execution is interrupted at any point.

A program that is interrupted can leave the program state in an invalid state that cannot be recovered.

So I started writing a parser to parse an assignment language. I plan to track object identities membership over time and see if objects get stuck in processing - they stop moving.

program {
available = {};
assigned = {};
main {
program = programs {
current_available = program.available {
available += (current_available, 1);
assigned - current_available;
}
item = program.requests {
available (=) item {
program.answers += item;
available - item;
assigned + (item, 1);
}
}
}
}
}

program {
requests = [];
requests += (add, 1);
main {
item = answers {
new_requests = [(add, 1)];
available += (item, 1);
new_request = new_requests {
requests += new_request;
}

}

answers -= answers;
}
}
It wins by amount of features but yes, software craftsmanship is generally shit.

Hell, I managed to kill our corporate server by navigating to settings page. How ?

Browser auto-filled fields

JS auto-submitted that as changes. Didn't verify them working before submission either.

What browser (for some fucking reason, I didn't click any confirmation) remembered in LDAP settings was no longer a correct config so it auto-broke any time I navigated into settings page.
He is not saying a "10x" language couldn't be invented, he is saying a hypothetical 10x language wouldn't increase overall developer productivity 10x.

His argument is developers use a lot of time on the intrinsic complexity of designing solutions for complex problems. Representing these solutions in code is a smaller part of the job. So even if a new language increased coding productivity by 10x (like going from assembler to C might) it wouldn't increase overall productivity with the same factor.

In short, the bottleneck is not the coding, the bottleneck is our minds thinking about how to solve the problem.
I had the same Issue. I can very much recommend the Browser Extension "Distraction free youtube".

That's the case for NERV(one of the disaster alert systems in Japan) at the very least.

https://twitter.com/UN_NERV

https://twitter.com/EN_NERV

It's used for notifying residents of earthquake, tsunami, and other disaster risks. Residents in japan for most immediate disasters will hear an alert through the national system (via phones, TV, radio, etc) and on top of that residents can check the NERV twitter or other sources to determine what degree of threat it is and what the next best course of action is.
Which isn’t always the case* since sometimes it is the case
Could be survivorship bias.
Seems that thread is moving the goalposts. The way I see it, universal pure functional programming is an academic exercise and cannot practically exist on Von Neumann architectures.
It is not caused by an always-on VPN, but by Tailscale. Having e.g. plain Wireguard enabled 24/7 doesn't cause the battery drain or the other issues Tailscale on iOS has.

Unfortunately, Wireguard on iOS doesn't work very well with dyndns, as it doesn't re-resolve dns and thus silently loses the connection when public home IPs change.

GE became profitable, it was just not GE anymore but some monstrosity that became a finance firm instead of an engineering one.

You can see some similarity to Boeing after having MD's management taking over, accounting-wise it's working, engineering-wise it's fallen deep into a pit of issues.
