They can only deny a warranty if the modification caused the damage. However, they can claim it did and deny you even if it's not true.

For anyone unsure whether to use flex or grid, the mental shorthand that I use is whether the container or the elements in a container should have more control over the layout.

Flex is better if the individual elements should have some control over the layout, whereas grid is better if the container should be fully controlling the layout.

That's a deviation from the topic and completely irrelevant to this thread. Even worse, what falsified photos would tell me or not is also logically independent of my claim that his photos did not show any evidence of UFOs.

Moreover, Arnu wasn't arrested for making up stories about UFOs, so the whole subthread is pointless and cries false analogy.

We can safely close the discussion at this point.
> I would say someone is a bullshit person if they feel the need to express that their job is bullshit yet keep showing up every day.

This doesn't feel in good faith. Many people out there enjoy having employment and finding new employment isn't always easy, or guaranteed to provide better circumstances in any way. For example, consider that many still live from salary to salary, or might live in countries where good practices don't have a significant mindshare.

Could people do better? Sure, but that just isn't the objective reality for everyone, therefore there's no need to be that mean towards them.

> Turns out most people don't because they don't have the slightest idea how to run a business yet they are 100% sure the people who are running successful businesses are full of bullshit.

Please remember that a system can generate business value and ensure that certain job positions even exist, and yet be badly made and problematic under the surface all at the same time. Profitable software and good software aren't the same thing from an engineering perspective, although they might be similar from a business perspective.

Alternatively, consider that many companies out there are simply burning lots of investor money on unprofitable systems anyways in hopes of them becoming good from a business perspective, regardless of the underlying engineering quality. Sometimes this means systems that are well engineered (though also overengineered), other times that means systems that still work but are a ticking time bomb.

Personally, I feel some empathy for the people in the article and don't want to dismiss their feelings.

Mostly confusing the benefit which taking notes provides with the benefit paying the minimum attention taking notes requires. Though there is also the memory habit confounder, i.e. if you are used to needing to remember only the things you write down, you are less likely to remember it if you dont. Similarly, if you are used to not need to remember what you type, you wont. However, if you are able to pay attention regardless, and are used to needing to remember even if you aren't taking notes, you will. These confounders are obvious and the article is completely oblivious to them.
Don't quit your job. Try to take each step at a time, you'll leave the job when you have profit. Meanwhile, you have to work extra hours every day. Your wife won't kill you for leaving your job, but for don't see her enough time.

> and the UI has improved markedly

Oh fuck no it hasn't. The UI is actually what's stopping me from upgrading to Win11.

Win11 is trying to be macOS with its UI, and that's a bug, not a feature, because I fucking hate everything about macOS's UI.

I hate multiple windows from a program coalescing into a single icon on the task bar. I hate the task bar not including text from windows. I hate that I can't have a task bar on multiple monitors. And I just generally hate how flat everything looks. What I hate most of all, is that Microsoft has decided to go the Apple way and disallow you from choosing what you want it to look like. There are no options to make it look like it used to.

IMO, Windows UI peaked with Win2K. When I used Win7, I used the classic theme. I use Win10 now, and use WindowBlinds to skin it to look like Win2K.
I think Jonathan Blow's main goal is to make his dream game programming language so that he can be happier while developing all of his future games. Widespread adoption by others is only a secondary concern. He also doesn't want to push it out to the general public until he feels it's ready, and wants to take the time to get it right first.
This used to be true, but at least the Apple Watch lets me do this all the time. I forget which OS update added the capability.
How we run our Python tests in hundreds of environments
> set things up with proper names

The hard part isn't naming the stuff, its remembering what each thing is named. I could call the lamp next to the couch several different things depending on the context. If you don't remember exactly what it is named you are gonna have a rough time. I've been tempted to just put a label with the device name on everything controlled by Alexa.

And good luck getting a guest to turn anything on or off.
I'm in the same boat. In university, folks would ask how much I study to get good grades (20 years ago). I would write my notes and review them once or twice. When looking at the written word, I recall where I was sitting, what was going on in the environment, and often a lot (a lot a lot) of context that I would have otherwise forgotten had I not reviewed the note once or twice.

However, for myself, the keyboard creates some disconnect when reviewing notes. It's got to be hand written and, like mentioned, I usually only need to review it once or twice over the span of a week or two and then I'll retain the info. Lots of scaffolded and reinforced-by-association information.
I’m in the private beta and things are changing constantly. I’m not sure why anyone would pick a language that won’t ever have a real ecosystem of libraries. Coming from C++ and need to remain low-level? Pick Rust, done.
I don't agree with this article. I write hundreds of lines of notes each day, as a part of my coding and work routine. I do it all digitally, in Visual Studio Code, as pure text. I think, as long as you can write fluently on a keyboard, and as long as the writing and typing itself does not steal CPU cycles from your brain while you're doing it, it works just as well as handwritten notes, and, I would wager, probably even better, as you're able to write quite a bit faster on a keyboard than you are when you're writing with a pen.

As for the "slowness" of the writing being a point in itself, I don't think that's true. I achieve the same by editing my text as I write it, pondering over my wording, to make sure that I communicate (to myself, mind you) the precise intent that I'm going for.

I think the fondness for handwriting is mostly based on romantic notions, for lack of better words, predicated by our closeness in time to a period where handwriting was much more common. We think of it as the "original" way of writing, and the most "pure" way of writing. Personally I think jotting down text notes on a keyboard is just as "pure", and I don't really think that there are any extra qualities associated with handwriting, as far as learning and retaining information goes.
>They're using cheap ballpoint pens and dollar store markers.

I've seen good drawings made with ballpoint pens and with markers. Beyond the fact that it's more difficult to get consistent strokes with them, I don't see anything wrong with using such media.

Studies like this are never universal, nor do they claim to be. The only thing they can claim is statistical significance.
The other niche languages are either buggy, slow, or both. Jai won't be. Ultimately it's about taste and quality. If the language gets enough right then people will switch to it, because people are desperate for a c++ alternative. Open sourcing or early access won't help here. Somebody just has to do the hard work of writing the compiler internals, and it will be done when it's done. And really, I wouldn't bet against somebody who has delivered on big projects twice before.
Right; famous issue. I think by the time all the new people need to do serious spring cleaning with their followed tags, it might be available.

I have a few issues/improvements I'd like to report, but I don't use Github.
Now you should count keystrokes for your type of solution.
I learned it by first building a homelab cluster and spinning up simple services with DNS on it. Then I did the same on a cloud provider. Digital Ocean has some great guides and starter kits for how to do it on their platform.
This option is not on the table yet. We have to operate under assumption that no relocation will take place in next few months unless it’s getting really hot there, which is unlikely.
> Speed in programming never matters except in the systems space.

This kind of attitude is how we get bloated Electron apps that HN (including me) loves to complain about. Speed should be a first class consideration, not something to throw away for later.

> No one is gonna be able to tell Rust vs Go in a web API

Debatable, Discord moved from Go to Rust [0] because they were getting latency and CPU spikes from Go's GC, and I'd assume that's the same with any GC language because, well, the GC has to run sometime. Now you might say that we're not all Discord scale, to which I'd say, like above, there are benefits to Rust that are more than just speed. Cargo alone is nigh unbeatable compared to some other languages. I was trying to get Python to work the other day and was pulling my hair out over venv, virtualenv, pip, conda etc.

Their valuation is somewhere between $25B to $35B. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-09/arm-s-ipo...

They won't go under, but apparently Softbank will lose money on the whole thing if it's on the low end of that spectrum.

And yeah, valuations can be about investor hype more than any basis in reality. And Tesla has almost as much hype as NFTs did a year ago.
I stand corrected, I did some digging and found out that Zoho has recently reorganised itself and is now an Indian company.
I do pretty much one meal a day (second "meal" being cocoa or coffe with milk in the morning) but it took slowly cutting meals over time + eating more filling and slower digesting stuff overall.

Like replacing egg + toast with egg + some diced potatoes and onion pan-fried with the egg will probably keep you sated for longer.

Now the hunger comes in slowly and generally I feel a tiny bit of hunger when I fall asleep, wake up hungry, get my glass of milky drink for the "breakfast" to keep hunger at bay for next 2-3 hours, then get/cook something for dinner.

The host should be protected in regards to code execution (Assuming theirs no escape).

The big issues come in the fact that you may pass in proprietary/confidential files, for example Code, which is now at risk of being leaked and the company faces extortion. Or you have a network configuration where the malware can pivot onto another server and now your whole environment is exposed to risk.
Have you gave it an old college try though before giving up? Like two years before dismissing it?
It's Amdahl's Law.

Lab work and clinical trials are incredibly slow. A single experiment testing a single candidate might take weeks (in cell lines), months (rodents) or even years (humans/non-human primates). You're going to do a bunch of them and they often require expensive reagents and/or tedious work.

Consequently, shortening the wait for a predicted structure by a few hours (or days) won't really move the needle. This is especially true if it makes your experiment, already probably a long shot, less likely to succeed.
I fail to see the necessity or the precision of your prediction of "coalescing of power?"

The margins are a good question: Would crypto, on balance, centralize or decentralize money more? Again, it's a technology who's very purpose is to decentralize, and it's not unreasonable to bet in that direction.

I'd think it would likely be parallel to, e.g. "video content" and "the internet." Very true that it wasn't linear, and that right now the big centralizers are coming back strong with streaming services, and that there's still Youtube that's mostly not decentralized -- but across the board -- that's a WAY different and MUCH MORE decentralized world than the one before, where literally a television station was your only option.

It's essentially how a homogenized middle+ class of people born/raised in/around metropolitan areas that aren't in the South/Texas speak. (In general, stereotypical accents associated with various cities are mostly more of a working class thing, e.g. Southie in Boston.) The South is the main outlier. Colleagues I work with from and living in North Carolina generally have a distinct southern accent albeit a mostly slight one. But, yeah, historically we'd have called it Midwestern.

I think that Jai / Zig / Odin all started around the same time.

D is closer to C++ than C, in my opinion.

I suspect that Jai was an inspiration for Zig and Odin.

Many developers in gamedev circles are still using C or orthodox C++ (C++ without most of the bullshit) but are frustrated by many features and gaps.

Short compilation time is one of the big goals, as it is crucial for fast iteration.

The goal is simply to have a powerful low-level/system language that is enjoyable to use. Or at least more enjoyable than C++. (the de-facto standard)
it is the most efficient in terms of energy transfer. I think it is lacking in terms of actual storage capacity. the upfront costs are also extreme.

ideally, every green energy farm would have a gravity well storage system nearby (like pumped storage) for the purposes of keeping discharge steady. Energy would be transferred into and out of this system pretty quickly, and stored in a more cost/size efficient storage option that could act as the true "battery" on dark days / longer periods of energy production downtime

I take that you are referring to the content moderation council (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586059953311137792). I don't think he formed it though. And note that he never meant it anyways as he has been reinstating banned accounts without any council in place. In case of Trump's reinstatement, he even did an online Twitter poll.
Extremely metal
I'm not sure if this is true. Small companies will seek out cost-effective advertising and put up with poor automated tooling. Coca-Cola expects to get people on the phone. After all, cutting the human element is one reason advertisers are leaving (as well as reputational risk).

Unless you think Twitter is advertising its advertising to small companies.
I also use Obsidian, and paired with a handwriting keyboard for Apple Pencil support (e.g. mazec; Apple's built-in scribble feature is too finnicky), it's been my Goldilocks note-taking method for the past few months.
There’s a significant delta between Java types and Haskell types.
A couple reasons I'm more productive:

1. I'm familiar with lifetimes and they don't slow me down anymore. Also, I usually structure my projects such that I don't need to explicitly express them.

2. I spend a lot less time fixing bugs because Rust makes them impossible.
To me it's the exact opposite. I usually end up feeling much better later in the day if I can't sleep but mornings are absolutely brutal. Even if I sleep well, I feel a bit groggy in early mornings; if I didn't sleep well I'm a complete zombie, but later in the day I will feel better, hopefully.
I was thinking of starting a web directory similar to this! I'm glad to see it.

This might be a bit weird for me but I really hate context switching when I am trying to learn. Writing breaks the flow of what I am trying to concentrate on and I can no longer actually learn, and I would rather not do it unless I am forced to.
What Is Limbic Capitalism? (2021)
What this project created was something sophisticated and powerful, but not something people wanted, and they got (rightfully) pilloried for it. Instead of shaking ones fist at the world for rejecting your brilliance, maybe the really smart ones are making the things that others actually desire, and not merely developing techs that give themselves leverage over others and expecting the world to defer to this demonstration of intellectual prowess.

This whole incident was a case study for product management and startup school 101. I've made this exact same category of error in developing products, where I said, "hey, look at this thing I built that may mean you don't have to do what you do anymore!" and then was surprised when people picked it apart for "dumb" reasons that ignored the elegance of having automated some problem away.

If this model were really good, they would have used it to advance a bunch of new ideas in different disciplines before exposing it to the internet. Reality is, working at Meta/Facebook means they are too disconnected from the world they have influenced so heavily to be able to interpret real desire from people who live in it anymore. When you are making products to respond to data and no actual physical customer muse, you're pushing on a rope. I'd suggest the company has reached a stage of being post-product, where all that is left are "solutions," to the institutional customers who want some kind of leverage over their userbase, but no true source of human desire.

They ensure that regions of memory are backed by actual memory. This sounds like how to tell the kernel that you're actually need and will use this memory.
Not to mention that beside its insane complexity most people these days probably just need linkerd instead. Google pushes Istio because they built it but it’s so overkill for so many people’s use cases.
