And don't forget distcc [1], together they can speed up compilations and recompilations. I remember using colleague computers to speed up a 30 min C++ compilation to just 5 min... to just seconds on second compilation.

That's the whole point of sampling. If you get a big enough sample, and you have a reasonably fair way of getting it, then all those things wash out as individual variation.
Enter COM and WinRT, if only the tooling wasn't so stuck in the stone age of early 2000's.
Sadly, this configuration is almost unusable for hard-core Emacs users, because you can't use extended key combinations (Super, Hyper, etc). For people who have been using Emacs for 25 years, being restricted to a narrow TTY is a non-starter.

I am still hoping that someone will develop a native Emacs version (willing to contribute to a bounty for that!).

The distinction is significant in some contexts. E.g. an academic work should not cite a tertirary source.

Is there a way for people to know if those robots with machine guns are controlled by the police or a terrorist mass murderer?
You'd get surprisingly little additional speed. An old rule of thumb is that if you double the power of a large ship, you get 4 additional knots of speed. Current average laden container ship speed is ~15 knots, down from about 20 knots from back before they cared about fuel costs and emissions. So you'd only get speeds up to what they were before.
I'm sorry, but what is obvious here is that you have some insecurities around success with women.

Let's follow the thread. We have an article about learning to be OK with not being extraordinary. We have a comment about the article stating that you can be the best at something, you just need to find your niche. Then we have someone who says it's wrong to lie to people about being able to find a niche. Then I point out that for something like songwriting there is indeed a niche if you're writing about things that are personal. Then this person calls that a coping mechanism and says:

I bet there are lots of songwriters who could make songs about your life that the vast majority of people would agree are better than yours

Well, funny enough, I do know a very talented and accomplished songwriter and he happened to write a song about a memorable night. I happened to write a song about that same memorable night. It's a good enough story that it inspired two songs to be written, professionally recorded, mixed, mastered, and put onto albums with artwork and all of that hoopla and I'm not skittish about retelling a brief synopsis. Tragically, I say that James' song is actually better than my song about the event!

The only song that James has ever written about me is something that triggers your insecurities. Normal adults can indeed mention topical memorable nights like this in casual conversation. Normal adults can joke about "getting laid"... with their wife. Do you get why I added the part about my wife? We literally met at one of James' concerts.

Can you now see the poetry in all of this?

If there is anything at all to be critical of it is that I'm going out of my way to share my music. This is something that I am a bit insecure about! I made the decision awhile ago that my life would be better off if I focused on a career in software engineering as opposed to a career in music. Honestly, I haven't fully come to terms with this choice. I still seek validation for my art. I still hold onto the hope that once the kids are a bit older that perhaps I'll give it another go.
Afterwards, maybe
Still true now, especially if you switch branches/variants/flavors or do multiple builds.

I've been out of the loop with Steam for a while. I used it back in the Half-Life, CS Source, and Team Fortress 2 days. However more recently I've been a Stadia user... it just made a lot of sense with a busy life schedule. Grab a controller and sit down on the sofa to play amazing games. With Stadia coming to an end in Jan 2023 I started to look for an alternative... none, for me, came close to what Steam is offering. So I went for a Steam Deck (with a dock) and a PS5 controller. Valve truly is for the gamers.
I use Bazel but it’s hard to deny that ccache is way easier to set up.
Can’t forget time it takes to run inference, even on the latest A100/H100. Generating in under e.g. ten seconds enables more use cases (and so on until high fps video is possible).
Fast compilation seems very appealing. It is one of the main reason why I am interested into Go and Zig.

I recently started working with Rust for contributing to projects like Rome/tools [1] and deno_lint [2]. The compilation and IDE experience is frustrating. Compilation is slow. I am afraid that this is rooted to the inherent complexity of Rust.

Rust and Go (for cgo) require it as well.

As do Python, Ruby, Tcl, node and Java if you want to write native extensions.
A couple more reasons:

- Steam supports Linux and even for games that don't, Steam lets you pretend they do by automatically launching them via Proton. Sure, you can run other game stores through Wine/Proton but Steam makes this so damned convenient.

- I (and I assume most people posting here) have enough disposable income that game prices are mostly irrelevant and especially for indies I don't mind throwing them some more cash.

- I simply don't want to juggle multiple proprietary launchers. If anyone wants to get me off of Steam, build and open gaming ecosystem instead of trying to grift of more of the same.
The problem is not that people aren't owning ideas hard enough, ideas shouldn't be ownable in this way, the problem is that we've created a system that's obsessed with scarcity and collecting rents. Being able to own and trade ideas a la copyright/patents helps people who can buy copyrights and patents stifle creativity more than it helps artists gather reward for their creation (though it does both).

Human endeavor is inherently collaborative. The idea that my art is my virgin creation is an illusion perpetuated by capitalists. My art is the work of thousands who came before me with my slight additions and tweaks.

Your (and in general, our) suggestion that we should be concerned with respecting or even expanding these protections is incorrect if you want human creativity to flourish.

Show HN: Podcasts summarised by A.I. because there's never enough time. TL;DL
Welcome. ASKD makes video and audio information easier to consume because there are only so many hours in the day #TL;DL (Too Long Didn't Listen). To do this we use ML systems without any human oversight so there will be a few mistakes, but hopefully not many.

If I say that some people would be happier in some kind of impossible to reach theoretical, that's not a good thing, is it?

And the person you were talking to didn't even say they were happy! They just said they're the best at some combination of things. Even assuming they are happy, they're probably not near the top of the happiness charts. "best at making yourself happy" looks to me like a completely unfounded guess/hope.
Do you have a good resource or summary on why volatile / synchronized are problematic and java.util.concurrent should be preferred?

I always remembered the same, but was recently in a conversation with Java devs who contradicted it, and could not articulate well why this is the case. and could not find good resources on it.
I'm really not in the top 1% of anything, when comparing to the set of people who care about it. I'm mediocre. I think the point of the article is that part of growing up, for 99% of people, is realizing that. And realizing that you can still build a good life.
We bought an Instant Pot two years ago because everyone seemed to be raving about them, but we only used it a handful of times - we tried recipes that came with it, recipes online, recipes from friends who had one. They were all hugely underwhelming. The one pot roast we tried was dry and flavorless. It didn’t seem to matter what seasonings we tried, the result was subpar.

We do have a couple of other crock pots / slow cookers which we use to make great dishes like pulled pork etc. It’s just the Instant Pot which hasn’t worked out for us.

Other Instant Pot users: what am I missing? Is the main advantage supposed to be that you can prepare meals fast because it’s a pressure cooker? Or should I pull it out and give it another shot?
Very creative and a fun way to interact with SD. I would encourage you to explore this idea further, as interest in SD might grow and people want to engage with the topic in an accessible way. I like the idea of hard-limiting play (1 quizz per day) but a small backlog of previous pictures could be nice to explore a little.

Which GPU are you using?

ccache is fantastic for CI systems. It's very common for commits to only affect part of a build, and ccache allows for clean builds (tear down the build and rebuild from scratch) to still take advantage of previous compilation runs.

Just looking at a jenkins machine with ccache I see a >90% hit rate for the cache, with 440k compilations returned from cache in the last 3 months (when stats were reset last).

Indeed. I saw this at a rather too early 12 but it definitely influences my behaviour at work.
Do you mean maybe distcc instead of/in addition to ccache? They’re often paired up.

As long as it's remotely controlled, it's not a bad idea. Why should policemen risk their lives when confronting dangerous criminals?

Could Google adopt such a language? They were early on Python, which was great! Perhaps they could "bless" Clojure - or more likely build their own.
That Reykjavik doesn’t use energy to make heat; it uses it to pump it from A to B.

In addition, I guess the heat it pumps is geothermal (FTA: The new setup is expected to provide over 40 GWh/year of free ocean heat.)

A benefit of using this kind of reactor might be that the source of heat could be moved closer to where it’s needed, If so, but I don’t expect that to offset the advantage of the current heat source giving you heat for free.

> Now look at your life through every facet. Are you really not in the top 1% of anything? 1% is not even that high a bar.

While I haven't yet framed it this way using your language, I'll share the belief that complexity science thinking is slow-brewing within me:

That the very network structure of our social fabric (as it has evolved) is selected to be just so, such that we have the maximum chance to each be extraordinary, given the existing meme pool. Small world networks are a goldilocks zone of clustering and nearness of any two nodes. The subjective experience of this small-world feature is that the average path length between any two random points is "surprisingly close". The math is such that any two people, aka any two ideas, aka any problem and its corresponding best solution -- that all these things are on average as close together as the math allows (while still preserving high clustering), by virtue of the small-world networks properties of the social graph.

The universe wants you to remix ideas, wants your mind to be a recombinator of the most diverse ideas, wants you to be a memetic vessel containing the most extraordinary set of ideas the universe can offer you. Because that's good for the collective endeavour of humanity :)
You really need a privacy policy!

Ideally one that states that the uploaded images are deleted after generating the model and not used for anything else in any fashion whatsoever.

Also,let people download the models and delete them afterwards with the same handling. Then it gets very interesting indeed!

Could it be safe even with actively malicious people?
Concrete Mathematics, by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik. Not only is the subject matter interesting, and, AFAICT not presented all together as a coherent body anywhere else, there are literally notes in the margins that the authors say reflect the comments of students who took courses using the book while it was being developed. Even if you don't care about the subject matter per se, the comments are well worth the read.

Similarly, Proofs from THE BOOK, by Aigner and Ziegler presents some interesting subject matter (short, elegant, and instructive proofs) all in one volume that you'd have to comb through large amounts of mathematical literature to encounter otherwise. The results themselves should be mostly familiar to any grad student or advanced undergrad in mathematics, but the proofs are sure to amuse as well as enlighten. The one unfortunate thing about this book is that the last edition was published almost 25 years ago.

I am talking about compilation speed.

I recently started working with Rust for contributing to projects like Rome/tools [1] and deno_lint [2]. My first impression with Rust is a bit frustrating: compilation takes tens of seconds or minutes. I am waiting in front of my IDE to get type hints / go-to def (often to fall-back to a text search). When I am launching unit tests, I am waiting that rust-analyzer terminates its indexing, and then I am waiting again that the tests compile…

The tools are now mature, and a lot of engineering work is done on both rust compiler and rust-analyzer. I am afraid that the slow compilation of Rust is rooted to its inherent complexity.

You're right, in many areas it is more powerfull than C++23 is.

As for classes, just pretend you are using structs in C++, and use structs in D.
I saw the didactic panels in the Huntarian museum in glasgow two weeks ago and they made an amusing note that numismatic experts across long time past had rejected the coins as obvious fakes, badly made, nobody could believe they were plausibly real being mould cast not stamped.

Emacs? Finally, the iPad gets a powerful and flexible Operating System! /s
This is exactly where we are at home. Some nights after all the kids are in bed and the day is over we will watch a movie or TV. Other nights we have the Steam Deck up and running... my wife isn't really a gamer but she likes to watch engaging games - while reading books - so it works out pretty well.

It just comes down to dividing time effectively. I will admit that is always going to be different for everybody, but we have found it works. :-)
From TFA:

you cannot run Emacs directly on an iPad as an app
things I've seen I think are probably not ok.

1. sending messages on phone while driving, one hand on steering wheel.

2. having sex / receiving oral sex.

3. turned around, yelling at kid in back seat to not fight with other kid in back seat.

4. girlfriend having argument with boyfriend, slapping him on arm some, about how she was smart too just a different kind of smart while swerving back and forth in fast merging traffic near the Haight (I was in back seat)

5. it's getting hot in here, time to take my jacket off!

your mileage may vary of course.
Ten years of this is just so _boring_.

The media is trying _so hard_ to push the narrative that these exchanges matter. They just don't.

They only matter to people who are obsessed with making cryptocurrency into traditional regulated finance.

That would be cryptocurrency dying, because then it would simply be a very inefficient system for bank transfers. Just as a road legal Formula 1 car would be something else entirely.

Or/and
Imagine a terrorist cell, which has no leader, no members, no financiers but is able to attack anyway.

A DAO hires gig workers to assemble a "product" in a property which it has rented, the product is then programed by the DAO to attack the city it resides in. The DAO having speculated on shares of competitors of companies within the city, moves ever onwards. Terrorism as a software glider gun.

Its a major theme in my game, any exponential tech advances handed to citizens, become a minority vote mechanism on society. The implications being, that freedom and exponential toys bump into a hard roof, were any clever crank can empty exponential weapons down the hallway. But society as we know it also can not continue without exponentials tapped. A rock and a hard place.

"No one is arguing that WhatsApp’s 50-employee headcount in 2014 means Twitter only needs 50 employees today. That’s a straw man argument. I’m talking mostly about software engineers and designers. Twitter has thousands of them. Everyone I know who has (or still does) work there has told me the same thing: the company is lousy with do-nothing employees and layers of bureaucracy to support their preposterously high headcount and needless managerial fiefdoms." etc.
I think most people are in agreement that things were not run well at Twitter, and the headcount was too large. I think most people are upset about the way in which it is being "fixed". It's been very callous
Each line starts at the same place, right?

Each pipe character is the same width, right?

Monospace characters are unaffected by their surrounding characters, right? Unless they're ligatures, in that case their width is a multiple of the single character width.

The only possible way for "\t|" on consecutive lines to be misaligned is either for tab not to have a constant width, or any of the axioms above to be wrong.

I don't get how is this defensible. You don't have to be Steve Jobs to see this and ask "what is this crap?"
Ask HN: What are 100K dollar ideas but not million dollar ideas?
Forget about billion dollar ideas, I am not even interested in working on million dollar ideas. There are multiple ideas or projects which are left because they don't have potential to scale. They are very specific to a niche set of customers or teams. Many people wanted to work on the solution but dropped off as they had bigger fishes to fry or knew the idea wouldn't scale. But the idea would scale up to a certain limit.

e.g. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/man-who-built-isp-instead-of-paying-comcast-50k-expands-to-hundreds-of-homes/

I believe that every village needs to solve their own problem and and may be in a different way(based upon the resources they have) as the external help may not arrive. The solution also need not go to cities as it is very specific to the village. This man got a project working after passing the initial inertia. His company may not scale beyond a certain limit but I guess that's okay.

What do you think would be those kind of ideas?
