Make two lists. One, an activities list. Every time you hear something fun to do, put it on the list. Eventually, after a couple years, you'll have nearly everything. If it's on the cheap side it's a good sign, although expensive things can be fun too.

The second list, is a content consumption list. Basically, building a twitter, but without the timeline. Write down categories you like, and people you like, and get a YouTube subscription so you don't have to have adds. After around 2 years, you should be rarely adding people & content to the list.

My advice: have a separate categories for movies to watch & tv shows to watch & only do so with friends & loved ones. Never watch tv or movies by yourself, would be my advice.

I understand loneliness. It can be a sad journey.
They seem reasonable to me? They're similar to the compiler builtins people already know and pretty short (7 characters…). What don't you like about them?

HTML Node Templating System
Check out this lightweight, robust HTML node-layout templating system. It enables HTML programmer to more easily control the layout of an arbitrary number of identical HTML sibling nodes, each containing different data, pulled from a hidden table. Designed to minimize effort and reduce keystrokes for the HTML programmer, and protect live HTML from content admins.

Feels like there's going to be more situations like this to come.

Wonder how Uber handled their exit from the China market.
The same reason you don’t talk about Nazi Germany’s accomplishments without bringing up the holocaust.
If I was code reviewing this I would strongly suggest std::array instead of those raw array;)
I’m also curious why you have page_id_to_frame_idx[] without a size. If you are using that paradigm to read off the end of the struct then it needs commenting heavily, if it’s a typo then std::array would have caught it.

I do understand that it’s just a snippet of code to show a style, so ignore this pedant!
Same (WebView inside Materialistic). The worst part is everything loads correctly, then crashes. If I time it just right, I can press the stop loading button and read the page in its entirety (styled and everything). I've seen it happen once or twice before on near-identical landing pages (maybe one of them was a previous post of this).

It truly amazes me that anyone in their right mind would even consider writing the code that does this. This isn't something that "just happens" - someone intentionally wrote code to replace the whole page with an error message (probably a developer of some JS framework this site uses) and that's simply not acceptable. Even if this is a debug build (it obviously shouldn't be, but who knows), this behavior is insane.
> Just as there are odors that dogs can smell and we cannot, as well as sounds that dogs can hear and we cannot, so too there are wavelengths of light we cannot see and flavors we cannot taste.

This is comparing ourselves with dogs lol. We are much more than that. We can build scientific instruments to smell what dogs smell or hear what they hear etc. See: https://publicism.info/science/infinity/7.html
They do peer locally, but of course they charge for it. It's all PNI, and quite expensive. For the longest time, Cloudflare routes from Toronto went down to Chicago.
Regulating loot boxes is a decent first step, but it feels like putting up an umbrella against a tsunami given the gambling industry has an incredibly strong grip over our country.

We have incessant gambling ads on every form of media (especially bad are the "bet with mates" type ads that invoke peer pressure to gamble as a social activity), pokies in pretty much every pub that are much more harmful / less regulated than much of the rest of the world, and generally a very unhealthy relationship with gambling as a country.
I would NOT want to own commercial real estate right now, especially retail, especially in a boring medium town.
Some regular spaceship launch should never ever be used to shadow or censor the hardship currently being experienced by hundreds of millions.

Yes, it is a fun moment if you are into space tech or tech in general. Most people here on HN are the same, they love such stuff. WE love it because WE believe it can make life BETTER - that is not the case in China at the moment. Hundreds of millions are being locked up in China. We are talking about real lives, not some random figures on paper. Talking about paper, do you know the fact that you can now be arrested on the street by simply holding a piece of white paper?

Sorry, but I am not going to celebrate the launch or the completion of the Chinese space station, hundreds of millions Chinese are suffering on the ground.
Even mid managers have expressed similar concerns to me about finding it difficult to work with tech. E.g., a product manager has complained to me that they wanted a feature built which would have had a direct revenue impact but were stuck because the tech team wanted to "triage" which she didn't understand.

Sounds to me that we need a "tech-to-normal" language translator.
One of my coworkers was a vegetarian and went on a business trip to Texas. His associates there took him out for dinner at a steakhouse. After looking over the menu, he asked the waitress, "Do you have anything without meat in it?" She thought for a moment and then cheerfully replied, "We have chicken!"
Two people pick 1-6, add them, mod 6, add 1. This should get you even chances of a number 1-6.
One aspect of the buy and hold mentality I feel is missing from the discussion is direct registering (DRS) the shares you invest in a company.

The shares you buy through a broker-dealer are held in "street name" meaning they are registered with your broker-dealer. You enjoy beneficial ownership, meaning you enjoy the benefits of ownership even though the title to the shares are in your broker's name. You have IOU's, basically.

Because the shares aren't in your name, broker-dealers can lend them out to hedge funds shorting the company you're investing in. The shares can also vanish if the brokerage goes under.

DRSing your shares at the company's transfer agent ensures that the shares are registered under your name (and not the brokerage's), and prevents your shares from being lent out and being used against your investment.
It wasn't instinctual when iOS introduced the swipe up to close apps in 2018?

It's also a clear indication that you can swipe up to go home. If the indicator is invisible, you cannot swipe up. You need to interact with the app to make the indicator appear (eg. tap the screen). I appreciate the visual indicator and that it can be disabled when there is full screen content
Ask HN: Predictions on the Crypto/Blockchain Ecosystem?
It’s been almost a decade since the original Bitcoin paper and we still haven’t seen any tangible real life applications in the world of blockchain except huge speculations which resulted in a trillion dollar unregulated industry.

Putting aside my skeptic view, I do see the value of decentralization in certain areas and we need to keep pushing the innovation in this space despite the recent fraudulent events.

I would like to hear what the community thinks about this. Is the whole thing been a Ponzi scheme to begin with from the beginning or do you think there’s a need for alternative economy / decentralized infrastructure to exist in the current world setup?

I am not looking for yes or no answers but more like rational arguments behind your opinions
If you're vegetarian, go vegan, otherwise you still support the meat industries, as well as the exploitation of living sentient beings.

If you're vegan, eat whatever you want as long as it doesn't exploit an animal in any conceivable way.

Who cares about this uncanny fake-meats? Only people that exploit animals.

True, I was just trying to point out that running your own independent website is possible even if your home situation makes it unrealistic. I think the "indie web" is important, and nobody who is interested should be discouraged if they can't host at home. There are ways to do it even if you have terrible internet service or a very restrictive ISP.
It's a function of how both accumulate influence/respect/trust/power.

The paths taken are (generally) very different.

So what each thinks is possible or not is based on different paths travelled.

For certain types of problems the paths will diverge. Some people handle this well and some people don't.
Check out this simple, easy API replacement: just set up Docker, APISIX, Grafana, Prometheus, etc.

Does anyone else miss the old days of just editing your site's code and adding new columns to your MYSQL database while people were surfing your website? That was fun.

Tip: Another way to turn your DB into an API is to just connect to it and then write SQL queries.
If you are implying that I think furries are “sick shit” you are confused. I just don’t care, much like most people do not care about my hypothetical obsession with cheesy pasta. To be clear, in my example the posts that I’d prefer not to see seem to be friends wearing animal costumes and cartoonish images of animals. On the face of it, it was all quite tame.

By being able to declutter my feed of things I don’t find interesting, I am likely to follow more people and hashtags, exposing me to more voices. With some effort and luck that includes more diverse voices.

Alternatively, I could just not follow people that have a low signal to noise ratio (per my interests) and I could block or mute those that frequently post uninteresting things to hashtags that I follow. I think this approach exposes me to less diversity.
Inaccurate. The full saying is: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."

I have had exactly one good veggie patty at a restaurant. The recurring problem is a complete lack of structure so that 90% of the patty squishes out the sides when you try to take a bite. And the restaurant with the good one closed last year, so I might never have a good veggie patty again.

Veggie patties mostly taste fine, but the entire point of a sandwich is that I can pick it up with my hands and take a bite out of it. If the patty can’t stay on the sandwich, it’s not a good sandwich. Just put it on a plate and call it a veggie loaf or something that I can eat with a fork.

Even the older products you get at the grocery store from Boca and Morningstar Farms could be structurally acceptable, but whenever a restaurant tries to make a veggie patty I swear they’re just sticking some vegetables in a blender, putting it in a round shape, and hoping it stays that way. I’ve eaten soups with more structure.
>You might be surprised, but even if not, using the "less privileged" card from a position of someone in power enforcing illegal and unethical mandates on potential and existing employees is not the best application for it.

It's not a card. I don't even care to reveal it. I revealed it ONLY because someone decided to use identity politics against me for no goddamn reason.

And here you are turning it around again. Let's just stop with this vile nonsense.

>No, the problem with doing something illegal (that you can't explicitly put in the job description even) AND douchey is that it's illegal and douchey.

Do not fucking insult me. Calling me douchey is fucking rude and against the rules here. Either speak to me respectfully or don't speak here at all.
Telegram has similar size user base, more functionality but less ads business. Last time I read there were 150 employees.

Similar is not the same.

SSE and AVX instructions are optimised primarily for 3D graphics, such as multiplying 4 floating point numbers with a 4x4 matrix. There are a handful of additional instructions optimised for doing things to pixels... and that's about it.

AVX-512 is designed to work more like what a GPU does internally, and provides a much richer set of instructions. It enables fine-grained masking and shuffles, without which many simple types of code are either impossible to compile, or much more complex... and slower. This is why auto-vectorisation with SSE an AVX are only enabled for some simple loops, and provide marginal benefits outside of those scenarios.
The Helpful Delusion
So the solution is to build a system with all the same flaws, but loses every benefit offered by traditional public transit systems?

The US is obviously bad at public transit, but the solution isn't to build tunnels for cars.

All of the time that Mir was in orbit there was no US/EU space station. Skylab overlapped with the Salyut program in late 70s.

I’m not following how the launch is “censoring the hardship”. Can you elaborate?
Grafana and Prometheus aren't necessary, and Docker is at this point pretty close to a Linux platform feature. APISIX is a reasonable complaint --- the "poor man's API" is "using a big open source project that provides generic APIs", sure, that's not all that clever.
What crime were these people in china convicted of? What was the trial process? What is was the oversight?
What kind of obscurantism is that?

Russia is abandoning the ISS, China will replace it, we should be thankful, we can continue research and dream about space exploration again

We should also be thankful for all the scientific breakthroughs that will allow humankind to step on the moon for a 2nd time

Mixing up your political agenda with science reminds me of how in the Middle Age, the Church was burning people alive for claiming that Earth was not flat and it rotates around the sun
> The people who make decisions have a fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder profits.

This is a myth. There is an obligation to serve the share holders' "best interests", but that doesn't necessarily mean profitability. It probably doesn't mean maximizing profitability a lot of the time as shareholders are not single dimensional characters. Often shareholders of public companies are just plain old people with a retirement fund, who live regular lives like you and I. The choices made within the business, especially a Fortune 100, are bound to impact them in other ways.

But communication at scale is hard. Shareholders may not always accurately communicate to their nominated trustees what is in their best interest. Profit is an easy one to communicate, but "do the right thing", which likely requires a lot of nuance to understand, is definitely not.
Bunch of providers have free tiers.
Gen z will probably suck at this. Millennials will be best.

Gen z did grow with a walled internet (insta/snap/tiktok) and apps (uber/grab/…) that they might not appreciate why the Internet should be free.
Its interesting you say this, since personally the physics are the reason I prefer TTS lol. Everything sorta moving like it would in a table makes playing so much easier once you get over the hump of manipulating the controls.

But then again my use case is mainly RPGs rather than board games.
I've never understood real estate investing...

- You have to do a bunch of physical maintenance of the property and be on-call to unclog toilets

- You have to know landlord-tenant law inside and out, there are a lot of hidden gotchas that can get you sued for big money or even criminally prosecuted

- You have to see stuff that's wrong with the property and understand how much you'll need to fix it

- You have to know how to find all sorts of contractors who will do a good job and not rip you off

- You can't invest in say the $500-$5000 range to get your feet wet at small scale, every property with any sort of building on it at all is like $50,000+, and building a brand-new house is even more expensive

- Enormous leverage seems to be the norm, and in most states, the bank doesn't forgive debt that's not covered by sale of the collateral (house)

- Anyone with enough money can do it, it's a perfectly competitive market where it seems difficult to have any kind of edge over professional landlords or house flippers that have built a career in this area, have a lot of capital and a staff of full-time experts optimizing every aspect down to a science

- If I get on e.g. Zillow it says, "Such-and-such property in location A is worth $X and such-and-such property in location B is worth $Y where Y = 3X" and I say "Wait why is it that? Y = 2X or Y = 4X also seems equally reasonable, heck Y = X or Y = 5X don't seem unreasonable." I have no intuitive sense for what property value should be.

- Your investment's locked up for a long time, it takes weeks / months to sell real estate.

- In 2022, you'd be lucky if a computer from 2002 sells for maybe 5% - 10% of what it sold for in 2002. In 2022, you're telling me a house sells for.. enough more (in real terms) than what it sold for in 2002 that it would have been a worthwhile investment despite now being 20 years old(er)? That feels like some kind of violation of whatever is the financial equivalent of the laws of thermodynamics

- You can do all your landlording right and still get screwed by tenants from hell.

For me, a stock and an investment property both yielding 6.4% are in no way equivalent. Given all the downsides, the ROI on property would need to be like 5-10 times as high for stocks for me to even consider it.. and that gets into too-good-to-be-true returns.

I know there are people who are experts in this area and people who say real estate's a good investment. But I don't understand real estate anywhere near well enough to put in the sums of money that seem to be required.
Actually the '030 was sort of a flop in the workstation market. NeXT used them, but all the big Unix vendors swung hard to RISC right as the '030 reached market. The iconic 68k workstation was and remains a Sun-3 68020 box with Sun's own MMU.

And while it's true that at release the 68030 was very competitive with Intel (but not SPARC or MIPS), by the release of the 486 two years later they'd lose that crown and never get it back. Their window turned out to be too small.

IBM's computers of the 1960s had wirewrapped backplanes and they were reliable. (The Xerox Alto and Apollo Guidance Computer are two other systems with wirewrapped backplanes.) I don't think we've ever had a backplane problem with the IBM 1401 at the Computer History Museum. IBM did a lot of field changes to the wirewrapped backplane, either to fix bugs or add new features. They had a specific process to go through. You couldn't just cut a wire; you had to unwrap the wire and remove it. But there could be up to 3 layers of wirewrap on one pin, so in worst case you had to remove 2 wires before you could get to the wire you actually wanted to remove. After you replaced the wire you wanted to replace, you'd need to replace the wires you removed to get to that wire.
Sure if you say 1% is a significant amount*. The percentage in China is likely in the double digits if you count the people who have been under "house arrest" for the past couple months (or longer).

* It should be lower, the USA should do better. Comparing it to the current situation in China is disingenuous.

For people thinking this way, I say: look at your actual available bandwidth, processing power and requirements to figure out what the bottleneck will be and whether it’ll matter.

If you have a 10 Mbps uplink and an average page size of 1 MB, that’s approximately one visitor per second before it becomes saturated. Ten visitors at once will find the page takes ten seconds to load instead of one. A hundred, a hundred, though by then many will give up and you may want more deliberate load management or shedding (either limiting the number of connections you’re willing to open at a time and delaying accepting new connections, or returning a brief response that says “sorry, too much load right now, try again a bit later”, or dropping some connections outright).

But if you have a 100 Mbps uplink and serve simple content with no images, you might have an average page size of 20 KB, and then you could handle over 500 page loads per second, which is almost certainly several orders of magnitude more than you get (that’s a billion page loads per month). But at 500 per second, that means you can only spend 2ms of processing power (all cores, so with perfect parallelism the single-core CPU time available will be 2ms times the number of cores you have) per page served before processing power becomes the bottleneck.
Now that's an idea. I like that.
Very well written and thoughtful article.
