I don't think "often" means "as much as you can during the day", I think it means to try to have that kind of food at each meal/snack as often as you can.
(Co)author here - happy to answer any questions :)

- This was a v fun (and challenging, due to Causal's scale!) project to do

- Most optimizations we’ve implemented were (very effective) one-off fixes. But we were also glad to find some rules of thumb that help to keep the app faster by default [1]

- My most interesting discovery was how ineffective Web Workers are. Causal, sometimes, has to do some expensive client-side data parsing. We tried to move data parsing to a web worker (= a separate thread) – but ended up reverting the optimization because it made the app slower. In JS, you can’t just pass a pointer to a data structure between threads; the browser has to clone the data structure [2] (with limited exceptions [3]). In our case, cloning the data between threads ended up being several times slower than parsing it in the main thread.

parent comment very likely meant "[when choosing a meal] eat [...] as often as possible", not recommending eating constantly throughout the day
Paul Graham has been acting like an Elon Musk lite for years. Less chaotic, but similarly know-it-all.
What does the relatively slow pace of Rust integration mean for the Apple Silicon GPU driver, which appears to be largely functional at this point but is written in Rust? Will the developers have to maintain a separate kernel branch with more robust Rust support for an extended period?
There was probably an opportunity a few weeks ago to create a social network only for the elites who could prove that they had a Twitter verified account (e.g. by putting a verification code in the bio / description). That would create crazy amounts of FOMO! But unfortunately now anyone can get one, so it's not as attractive. :)
I use a Raspberry PI 4B with some MVNE drives. The power consumption is somewhere between 2 and 10 W. I have an extra RPI and backups. Hetzner does have good pricing and is easier for most people than running own HW.
Cyrillic small be (б) and Greek small chi (χ) could have been used instead.
Most jobs have political biases, but not all CEOs act like megalomaniac toddlers.
It doesn't matter how much is work worth. Their work generates some amount of money and some of that money goes goes to people that don't work. That is all.

In my opinion, investing and expecting returns (above bank deposit rate, which would be very low in normal, stable economy) is the bad and unfair thing in all this. It is unfair because it allows a person that has a lot of money to get even more money in a self-sustaining loop without work. I have nothing against being rich. Just don't get even more rich doing nothing.
Yeah hella would have been great!
No, the poster is not. We're talking about the world's third largest economy by GDP, and I have first-hand experience with being on the market for Japanese real estate, today. You want to hear a joke? Try San Francisco Bay Area. Then look at the price of a house in Tokyo.

And my God, the construction, convenience, and technology of Japanese houses beats the living crap out of the shoddy construction you see in the Bay Area. Do you get less usable land square-meters wise to some degree? Sure. But if you can concede some of that, the deal is way better because of the quality of life you can achieve.

A less extreme/draconian version of this sounds cool
How people don't get it - you can't succeed as an alternative to something. You need to build your own thing, find your product market fit with unique proposition. In 5y nobody will know about any of twitter alternatives that are launching these days. IMO even twitter didn't find its product market fit, that's why Musk is breaking it. The more people talk about twitter (in any way) and more people go with "alternative" narrative - twitter gets more user base and more likely is going to succeed in future iterations - while "alternatives" get stuck in the past.

How many failed startups tried to go against facebook, as "social networking alternative" as a rebellion to some bad facebook press, policies or scandals? How many of those succeeded? None.
The abomination Linkedin.cn (force redirects, ads, bloat features) was shutdown but Linkedin.com is always accessible.
Grain fed meat is totaly different than grass fed meat.

Grain fed animals have very high saturated fat amount compared to grass fed ones.

Grass fed animals and wild boars and wild cattle have much more PUFAs than grain fed ones.

So the quality of meat went down drasticaly in the last 100 years.

Which is ironic since many carnivores are screaming "PUFA bad" in a reductionist fashion and at the same time say you "must eat only grass fed animals" lol.

There are people who are happy to use products that benefit Elon Musk, and reward his behavior.

There are others who want to avoid his product because they don't approve of his behavior.
apologies are supposed to be an acknowledgement that they wronged you and letting them know you forgive them allows them to have closure so THEY can move on with their lives (emotionally).

We use it as the grease between the wheels for smaller things because we can't know what's in each others heads. And for larger things, it allows both parties to move on.

To forgive without letting the other person know is absolutely about punishment (assuming they're alive, available, etc).

I had a brother who had a fiance that left him, when she went to get remarried she sent him an email basically apologizing for all the shitty things she did and asking for forgiveness. he came to me in tears asking what he should do and I told him not to respond. Don't give her that closure, she wants to start her new life "clean".

I have no idea what he ended up doing, he never told me. Knowing him, he most likely did respond, but my point is that I viewed her apology as selfish and would have preferred she never got that closure.
Elon tweeted a graph showing a massive jump. But the Y axis was chosen for that purpose.

Someone responded with a graph whose Y axis started at 0. You couldn’t see the “massive jump” anymore.

It was actually like 0.5% increase based on the data in Elon’s chart.
You can always migrate your account... or if your account is tied to your publication then too bad, you start from scratch.
Out of curiosity, what's the largest scale distributed system you've ever been on-call for?
Twitter invented the Fail Whale. Instability is not new with Elon.
> only relevant if you grain feed, instead of allowing animals to graze on grass.

What's the percentage of grass fed vs grain? From a shallow search it seems like it's low single digits yet I see this argument come up a lot. Do you have different numbers perhaps?
The formatting of that article is a bit hard to read.

People have been pointing out how little modulation there is in modern pop music for a while. Combined with click-tracks, pitch-correction and sampling, there is just less variation in most modern pop songs.
I have a hunch that this conservatism problem is why ADHD genes / traits remain so prevalent. The percentage of populations with it is around 5% and remarkably consistent across drastically different cultures.

The reason is that those with ADHD are often physiologically incapable of not pursuing an interest. Often those interest lie in novel areas. It’s unfortunate for those with the traits, but a net benefit for society.

So there’s a game theory equilibrium wherein successful societies will retain a certain percentage of those genes or become too conservative.

I think this is the most important figure in the actual study, and it absolutely doesn't justify the bold claims of bigthink. The upper right quadrant is the danger zone. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01968-z/figures/4

The study tries to account for things like publication bias (though seems to not find any evidence for it or do any accounting for it in 5/6 of the comparisons under study). I don't think it's wise to conclude from the fringe cutting through the x-axis that only shoddy research would claim unprocessed red meat has a health risk (which is to say nothing about processed red meat, the subject of most of the headline-grabbing studies about health risks).
And for what benefit? A higher salary? Stock options in case Twitter somehow survives and goes public again?
Twitter can still make it big!
I understood the comment to mean, “when given the choice between minimally processed whole foods and highly processed packaged foods, pick the former as often as possible,” not “eat frequently.”
You don’t need to escape a sandbox to monitor people’s communications that are done through your own backend servers.
> Sorry, but that's not a good argument in favor of Linux when basic power management is not part of the OS and you need to set it up yourself manually. Can you imagine Microsoft or Apple shipping their OSs without power management? I need an OS to work out of the box so I can get to work/entertainment, not a hobby to tinker with. I still enjoy tinkering with Linux but it should be only when I want-to, not a need-to.

That entirely depends on the distro you use. Any "mainstream" distro should already have power saving tools set up properly. Of course if you use something more DIY like Arch you will have to set those up yourself. You can't just group every distro together as "Linux" when you will get a different experience on each one.

> I want to see Linux automatically scale the CPU power and frequency based on the load put on it like Windows does: idles at 600MHz when doing nothing, click on the Firefox tab and it shoots up to 3,6GHz, then back down to 800MHz. That's what any sane OS should do out of the box, not have you install and fiddle with a bunch of tools and maybe still not be as good.

Unless you are using the performance or powersave governors (except with intel-pstate active) that's already what it should be doing. Once again you shouldn't have to tinker with that stuff on any sane distro.
How do you suggest to have some control over pure profit motives then?
It seems like a lot of headaches could be avoided if you just don’t have people share branches. Then you just rebase master and force push away with reckless abandon,
Do you have some links for that?
So you’d prefer thank our benevolent landlords for being so kind as to grant us temporary use of their lands to toil for their benefit.

Your argument makes no sense, regardless wherever the proposed solution would work
Oh I agree with you. I read somewhere there was a war room.

It is hard to reconcile that though with the actions. The actions are bad and seemingly not well thought out.

I hope there is someone advising him maybe he is just not listening.
Which is overwhelmingly terrible compared with native. It seems there is a never ending set of copy/paste, window resize with multiple monitors, etc problems.

And it only works when your application doesn't have HW requirements that can no longer be met. Or the company in question just doesn't provide drivers anymore.

Frankly, the driver thing is somewhat understandable, but as you point out its easy to bolt software compatibility layers on, why the OS vendor can't manage to make it work well/transparently is a mystery.
I guess that gives us new binary prefixes as well, we can now express data sizes in robibit, quebibit, robibyte and quebibyte!
Yeah maybe. I've worked on code where there were constants defined for minutes-in-hour, hours-in-day etc though, and that was just annoying; it's conceivable that our culture will one day decide that the Babylonians were idiots and we should use the French revolutionary clock instead, but I'll take my chances
Now taking bets on how long until we can point to one subsystem or module in the kernel that's written in Rust. I'm betting 3 more years.
Tailscale actually has a great write-up on the subject [0]

Exactly, Tesla also pushed the envelope with charging speeds, at a time when a lot of people in the industry were limiting things to 50kw and treating EVs as little purely city cars.
Small decentralized communities which users can freely and easily create and manage is the way to go!

Yes --- except for a few nagging little problems. Like stability. Which is directly related to costs/fees to keep a "community" running.
Mojolicious::lite is amazing; I'm using it on a personal project at the moment.

I love Perl, it's exactly what I need in a programming language. I picked it up this year as I wanted a versatile and fast scripting language in my toolkit.
You say that like we trust the press to be objective and thorough when researching and presenting a topic.
Two fun facts delivering strong ROI for my visit to HN today, much appreciated!
> I followed this and managed to sell a handful of people on helping them land their first dev job

I've always wanted to do something like this. Could you share more about it? I think I could provide a lot of value to a new dev but haven't identified a business model that would work.
I think you misunderstand my post, I made a case AGAINST the logic of the parent story. I'm fully aware that forex trading is essential for the economy and that people make huge profits doing it.

BTW if you trade fiat you are not investing you are speculating same with trading crypt. But people keep comparing it to an investment.

> nobody wants to switch

There's no reason to switch now. Ban TikTok and people will switch.

Any modern IDE built within the last 20 years would not only highlight where a semicolon was missing, but would also be able to tell the difference between a semicolon and a Greek question mark.

Intellisense is a really nifty feature.
I think the point is that the modern web repeated the doom of Microsoft Office to a certain extent.

There are code libraries and horrid Microsoft libraries for extracting information from Office documents, or API calls to Office itself to do so, but it is NOT EASY. And wow does Microsoft love this, because you end up buying office ... everywhere.

The modern web may not be so centrally owned as the Microsoft Office monopoly, but it does bury all forms of information under ludicrously bloated generated javascript / css. HTML actually is the forgotten stepchild of the javascript / css / html base of the web.

While WebAssembly offers hope for undermining the javascript monopoly, it probably won't help.

From where we are now, the data structuring and extraction is basically enabled by HTML. Javascript/CSS are obfuscators, not enablers to that. And to the point of many, that's how the tech industry likes it, because extractable / analyzable HTML pages are hackable and reformable and the tech companies lose control of "their" data (which is your data that you gave them, but that's another rant).

That is, they lose the ability to reliably get all the ad revenue.
I feel the same about PHP. It's easy to scale up, and can scale down to small CLI scripts (but can include any utility libraries you need as well).
...also that the tech that made it 'technically easier' was easily aquired by less-trained musicians who really didn't care about key changes.

I don't know. Name an area of research that is more complicated and expensive to study than nutrition science. Fusion? That's less complicated.
A social media company that's stagnating typically doesn't have much time to remain viable before they'll give way to the next big platform. I think they only had a few years left before they became the next myspace anyway.

This isn't to say that firing so many employees, trying to quickly roll out a change in the blue checkmark system and scaring off advertisers was the right choice of course. So I basically agree that he should have tried to fix the company over the course of a year or two.
Finland exists because an ethnic group remained distinct while a part of Sweden and broke off into their own country.

It's one of the most ethnically and culturally homogeneous countries on the planet at >90% Finnish.

You and I should swap stories sometime. I tell my kids that when I lived there thirty years ago, also as a broke student, that I would load up on pickled ginger when I went out to sushi with friends because it was free (along with the warm towel and the bill.)
It's true that Blue Pill and friends were an issue 15 years ago. I would have expected VT-x to be on by default now though given that Windows 10 and 11 both use virtualisation for various security features (Credential Guard, HVCI and so on). There's no advantage to disabling it...

Roughly half of the US's national debt is owned by the government too.
If you have to use that name a bunch of times close together, it bloats line lengths which also affects readability.

I think you’re reading this too literally. They likely just mean file scope from a purely usage perspective. I.E. you only use the variable in one file, it doesn’t matter how the language processes it into a computational scope

Authentication/Authorization RESTful Template. TypeScript, Node.js and Express
Hello everyone,

for the ones that are going to build a fullstack project or are curious about it, I am sharing with you this backend starter template with Authentication and Authorization using good practices for its architecture which is inspired by MVC.
I am looking forward also for your feedback.

It has a readme where you can understand better.

Cheers!
FWIW upvotes don't correlate with accurate or impartial content, they correlate with engagement (controversial or entertaining content). Boring accurate science doesn't attract attention.
Let's say you are an engineer at SpaceX who thinks Starship is a stainless steel Spruce Goose. Won't work. Waaay under-engineered. Space internet always fails. Etc. What would you do? Work for Boeing, with their management? A capricious boss and working on a fool's errand can look pretty good in comparison with typical defense aerospace alternatives. Tesla is a profitable public company that can offer serious upside to employees. Even if you think Tesla is overvalued, it is at least a conventional bet on whether it will continue to be overvalued.
Tumblr exists but is a tiny shadow of what it was. That’s what I expect, at best, of Twitter at this point.
Sorry to burst your bubble but "uncured" bacon is a sham

"Sometimes, that homogeneity entails characteristics that lead to a generous, happy, high trust, flourishing society, like Finland. Sometimes it leads to Nazi Germany."

So given that and the fact that there are other factors that could effect trust, happiness, and success doesn't that basically tell you it isn't a meaningful factoe?
Forgiveness: Making a big deal about how great you are for not judging someone, making it all about you. I forgive you.

I think the plants are no longer "gravity powered", so there's no need to try to get them up to the top of the big building.
Twitter is going to enter a period of unprecedented reliability, at least for several weeks, maybe through the end of the year. Any idiot can run a rapidly shrinking service with users and advertisers both running for the exits, and no engineers on staff to push new changes.
I played a dice baseball game that I learned from my father when I was growing up. I had little interest in baseball itself, but for whatever reason this game where I tracked all the players' stats for a league on paper, set up home and away games, and then rolled four dice to see if there were strikes, doubles, triples, etc., was super appealing to 10 year old me. There was no real complexity, no decisions to make, just roll dice and record, and then calculate the stats for the players after each game and at the end of the season.
Environmental impact has been mentioned a few times but personally (!) I have reduced (not yet eliminated) my meat consumption mostly due to the fact that my short term unnecessary enjoyment is not justified in the face of the insane cruelty connected to mass animal farming. There is plenty of well-established documentation about this industry you can find online and subjectively I find it psychopathic.

I personally cannot consume meat from mass production anymore with a good conscience after hearing pigs scream in pain as their cage entered into the CO2 cloud used to kill them. The CO2 forms acid when coming into contact with their eyes, nose, lungs and mouths. You can kinda get a tiny hint of that feeling when you drink too much carbonated soda and burp up CO2 throw your nose by accident.

I hope it doesn't sound patronizing but that's MY reason to avoid meat, even more so than the terrible environmental impact. If you have ever spent time with pigs on a farm, they are eerily similar to dogs in some ways, so intelligent and funny. We would never subject dogs to the crazy amount of torture and violence just to eat them for 5 minutes out of no necessity at all and I believe it takes cognitive dissonance and plain ignorance to then just torture pigs for years and then kill them. Most of them never get to see the sun or run across a field of grass in the spring. Just death, disease, oozing wounds and death by acid-suffocation.
See, you're arguing that Rust is putting seatbelts in racecars, when what is really happening is you're replacing racecars that have no seatbelts with Corollas that have seatbelts.

We agree though that adding memory safety to C would be the equivalent of racecars with seatbelts.
He's made billions, he's obviously a genius con man.
It increases cognitive load when writing the function call, since you now need to remember what kind of true to use. It also increases cognitive load for people who either do already understand the parameters or who are doing something for which the parameters are not relevant; it's harder to ignore a long thing than to ignore a plain "true".
