Software engineering in the chip industry always seemed like a completely and totally different thing to me. Knowledge of physics and nanoscale architecture and calculus and all kinds of stuff that I don't need to know just to create an online form on my webiste for people to fill out.

I don't know, maybe I have the wrong view, but it always seemed like that to me. I just do business software development because all it has is addition, subtraction, division, and muliplication, and percentages every once in a while. No way could I create a program for a hardcore physics app. Because you have to know physics. To some extent, anyways. Anything more than basic math, forget it. And I think most people at organizations like facebook, netflix, etc are more like me. Maybe I'm wrong, but that would be my bet.

I still can remember, that there was a technical hurdle to connect to the Usenet. My memory is from mid-nineties. You had to find the usenet server of your provider, which wasn't broadly pronounce, or even another one. This wasn't feasible for most people. Web forums worked in the browser.
I work at a place that has to do animal tests (mostly on mice and fish) to understand and cure diseases.

Colleagues working with animals tell me there's strict restrictions on conducting these tests, everything has to conform to animal protection laws and ethics requirements. If tests aren't deemed necessary, they won't be conducted.

This makes me wonder about the necessity and suffering/benefit ratio of "surgically plac[ing wireless accelerometers] on the rats", especially since the image processing already seems to provide insight.
Well go ahead, provide the best car for comparison out of your list of "a lot of cars".

Then we can objectively compare it to the closest Tesla model to it.

That is if that car is even being manufactured at any scale at all...
It's not the best paying job, but I would take this in a millisecond if I was qualified.
I like the design in the submission more, as it doesn't seem like it'll break as easy as the one you linked. Those you linked have that "open backside flap" that breaks so easily when you're pulling cables around and it gets stuck on something, quickly breaking off. While the submission one has both sides closed, so pulling a cable means it won't get stuck anywhere, much preferred.

> boomers pensions

Those boomers spend that money. The money enters the economy. It creates the economic activity needed for the ones who you call 'those who work' to be able to do business and make money.

Pumping money to boomers, the poor, disabled and the underprivileged is the easiest way to stimulate an economy. Not giving more money to the rich.

> all the money we've borrowed for the boomers

Those boomers have worked for 40+ years and PAID that money that they are taking now into the treasury. Its THEIR money. For decades, your government used that money in its own affairs to fund many things. Those boomers literally facilitated those governments' policies and the economy.

It needs to be said again - its THEIR money. You are not giving them something out of goodwill as a charity. You are paying back the money that they LOANED to the society.

Its debt. They are your debtors. You have to pay back your debtors.

Ask HN: Is it just me?
Over my whole career I can see a pattern.

Typically, I work for an employer for around 3 to 5 years. At the start of each employment I make several successful leaps, often designing and building new systems (usually single handedly). I am rewarded with various pay rises, bonuses and promotions. Then around the halfway mark or later, things sour for a variety of different reasons. Typically, I will fall out with someone senior, like my line manager. It's normally over something mundane but definitely technical.

In each cycle I try resolving things in different ways but each time I fail; then I desperately try finding a new role with the knowledge that the whole process might repeat itself.

I can recall the various reasons the fallouts occured, e.g. frustrated by a boss's crony cancelling 3rd party supplier contracts (which I had to grovel to reinstate), having differing views about testing/automation (I am fond of both), how workloads should be spread more fairly, etc. There are many different reasons.

In the more recent cycles I just end up being entirely unproductive at the end.

Is it just me?

I see what you're saying. The logic to the OP's point is "If AWS were to be spun out, on its own it should be worth 12x revenue, or $750B. If the Amazon web business were to be spun out on its own, it should be worth 6x revenue or $250B. Since those add up to $1T and the market cap of AMZN is $950B, the market assigns a -50B valuation to the rest of the company." I agree it's flawed logic. The market may just disagree with someone's sum-of-parts. It maybe conglomerate discount. It may be that the market is undervaluing AMZN, too. I don't think that many people would disagree AMZN's ecommerce division is valuable.

FWIW I have trouble imagining needing more than 10 minutes at high pressure for anything like potatoes. Maybe even a few less.

Am I correct in understanding that you concluded that poverty is primarily a mindset issue?
I think you may miss the point.

Literature doesn’t have to write literally about something for the point to be made. The boots are a stand in for whatever the issue at hand IS (rent vice buying a house would be apt).
That's totally false. They've had a war in Ukraine since 2014.
Because the lack of licensing will foster innovation!!

Look at where RISC-V is today. It's already competitive with most ARM products and I'm convinced someone somewhere is already concocting a super-duper RISC-V core that blows the doors off Intel and ARM latest offerings.

Qualcomm and Apple will merely want to pump up their profits even higher and ARM is an obstacle, both in licensing costs and terms. With RISC-V they can do whatever they want and they're not beholden to the whims of some other company.

Both are already designing their own cores so it really makes no difference to them, except that with RISC-V they can innovate even more.
If a admin comes to me and tells me he understands Linux but is not capable of learning any BSD...kick in the butt and goodbye.

Just want to add that slow cooker does get to boiling point, albeit very slowly(3-4h on high setting). So a dry bean dish would need to be cooked for at least 5h.
The xor reg, reg is also special cased because it's a quick way for compilers to reinitialize a register and indicate that future uses of that register don't depend on any previous operations. It helps the cpu to parallelize any future instructions that use that register since the cpu knows that those instructions don't depend on anything that happens before the the xor.

I was poking into this a bit yesterday.

Is there any advantage to using a traditional db as opposed to a graph db since json-ld is just a text representation of graph nodes?

I was thinking the easiest path would be have the server deal with all the activityPub stuff and expose something like a graphQL interface for a bring your own client implementation. Of all the stuff they shoehorned graphQL into this seems like a valid fit, like they were made for each other.

Anyhoo, just my random thoughts…
FWIW I've heard this song exactly once, driving into Dallas around 22 years ago on the classic rock station to go watch an NFL game. I was amazed by how long it went on.

The only reason I remember it is the same riff is used in The Doors (who I really got into around the same time) song "WASP".
Any library that is supposed to leave a socket or other handle in the same state in which it got it.
Yet, people don't need motivation. They need to make movements. Deciding to do something is not the same as doing it. I can still see the value in learning what others are doing. It may offer ideas and most of them market-related, such as letting you know that, yes - there is an active market here for similar ideas/audiences. To me, that's the biggest take-away and perhaps the greatest question since it is foolish to build something and then struggling to find an audience for it. This contrasted with finding the market first, studying them, and then building out a solution around what that audience has objectively expressed as needs and wants.
Yeah that's a good point, 10g is likely harder.
Toaster ovens are not new. Great for cooking a half pound of fish filet, for example.
I could have been a bit clearer. What he wanted to squash was not the vote but the independence movement. He set the bar low, expected the Scots wouldn’t clear it, and then there would be incontrovertible proof it would never happen.

But then it nearly passed, and we’ve had a decade of SNP focusing on independence relentlessly to the detriment of their other responsibilities of governance.

And then Cameron made the exact same gamble on Brexit and lost, incidentally throwing kerosene on the Scottish situation. Biggest loser.
From the wapo article, talking about real estate in the Bahamas:

“Literally, the day it occurred, they called and said, ‘Let me know. I will pay cash,’” Hillier said. “People see opportunity.”

Huh. It’s almost like how rich people buy property is:

1. Create a ponzu scheme or other financial shenanigans
2. Get money from peoples.
3. Spend proles’ money on ridiculous assets and property
4. Declare said scheme bankrupt
5. Step in and buy assets for pennies on dollar.

Ideally, step 4 happens during a financial crisis so that proles can’t get access to borrowed money, thereby reducing competition for assets.
We had Palm webOS. iOS and Android crushed it in the market around 2010.

One of the things people get excited about is meta-programming, which Jai has much more of than Odin.

Jai has a lot more weird stuff than Odin. Idiosyncratic features like if we're iterating through a sequence we can delete items as we go with a dedicated keyword, via a swap and shrink mechanism. Perhaps some of that weird stuff will be smoothed off during beta, or perhaps Jon will double down on it. But it does make Jai more interesting to talk about meanwhile than Odin which is a more "normal" language design.

I suspect I will never have reason to use either language "in anger" so to speak, but Jai is more interesting to me for the reasons I stated.
Actually, I can't stand articles drawing connections to Brexit everywhere, both continental and Brit, when they're clearly told-ya-so pieces coming from long held opinions.

I have multiple of what I'm very confident are basically those devices. I use them fairly regularly.

They are almost all built around the MS 2109 Macrosilicon chip (and the ones that aren't are worse). They will only do MJPEG when above a certain rez and framerate.

1080p60 24-bit colour depth is 372.5MBytes/sec uncompressed. So it's going to require some compression.

I'm not an expert on h.264 etc, but can you do real-time lossless CBR below 53MBytes/sec on a readily available hardware encoder that, including the HDMI capture functionality, comes anywhere near $8?

What's the solution here to get more in taxes?

The same as usually: increase the taxable base, not the tax percentage. Tax a larger base moderately than trying to out-tax the last dribbles of a dwindling, current economy.

To do this, work politically to make it easy and lucrative to do business and increase overall wealth, and make it productive and worthwhile for individuals to get more by working more.

> this Ukraine war is an awfully convenient way for the US to completely decouple and destroy Europe and Russia

Its amazing how that needs to be said and how that is a conspiracy theory even as US foreign policy think tanks have been advocating for that and even laid out many published, well thought out plans that are being implemented to the letter now.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html

That's CIA's PR arm. It published that in 2019. Every single policy that it outlined is being carried out now.

The propensity of the Angloamerican public to ignore what is inconvenient and see what they like is amazing. The Brexit process and the Ukraine war has been literal sociology cases in which one could finally understand how the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs and the ensuing war was sold to the Angloamerican public.

I was fairly happy doing REPL development with Scheme, and then I decided to give Common Lisp a try and I discovered what REAL REPL-driven development is.

The trick in America at least is to go above the $20 price point. Most of the $40 aroma rice cookers will do just as good as the $200+ zojirushi for a simple long grain white / jasmine rice.

Why West can promote separatists, terrorists and internal divisions with zero consequences? If Texas had a separatist movement that wanted to start a civil war to secede from the United States do you think it wouldn't be crushed?

The United Kingdom is the worst offender in this, they violently repressed any revolutionary attempt in their colonies.

Honk Kong is a chinese teritory, end of story. Like Texas, or the city of London. If those regions started violent protest to independize, they would be repressed. End of story. Shame on the West for such blatant imperialist attempt at meddling with chinese internal affairs.

I'm pretty much here with you as a UK prole, for what it's worth.

I constantly feel like middle class individuals just don't "get" what it's like to be poor. It's really common for there to be this sort of "woe is them" mindset, as if they're talking about farm animals or something that fundamentally has less intelligence/autonomy.

The vast majority of my schoolfriends who worked hard, focused on the correct things, and budgeted well, did well. The ones that went to prison or had children at age 18 didn't. None of us are billionaires, but neither are we all some sort of sub-human, toothless, brainless mass.

One of the amusing things about having money now, is that I have to "play along" to some extent. I can't just tell someone that they're an idiot for trying to find a place in London when they're a single person without any real income to speak of, even though 99% of people back in my hometown not only think that's not unreasonable, but that it's completely self-evident.

Some people face real barriers. Try being born into a country in which a Western visa costs a month or more of your wages. Hell, try just being on an H1-B. The way we talk about "poverty" in the West makes an absolute mockery of that.
Ahh, I don't think that stance is evident from the GP but fair enough. I may even have a less fervent hate for IP protections than you do.

> But keeping them in place while letting big corporations benefit from the work of independent artists who don’t want their work used in this way seems wrong to me.

I see what you're saying here. My concern is that should copyright style protection be extended to the "vibe" or "style" of a painting it is going to be twisted in a way that ends up being used to silence/abuse artists in the same way that copyright strikes are already.

I think the idea that art is mostly individually creative vs mostly drawing upon the work of all the artists and art-appreciators around you and before you is already really problematic. The corrupting power of the idea is what I worry about. Similarly to crypto/NFTs, the idea that scarcity should exist in the digital world is the most dangerous thing, most of the other bad stems from that.

IMO the most important thing to work on is getting people to reject the idea itself as harmful.

I worry that any short term fix to try to prop up artists' rights in response to this changing landscape will become a long term anchor on our society's equity and cultural progress in the exact same way copyright is.
Crypto corrupts everything it touches.
