Once got into a lot of trouble for asking why an instrument of torture was considered holy. It still disturbs me to see it.
My biggest frustration for this is the typing completion on Android. I'm typing, and while I'm typing another character for the word, I see the word I want listed above the keyboard. But just as I hit the word, the suggestions update and my word is replaced by another. And often my word is still listed, but in a different place, which js incredibly annoying. Or sometimes the word disappears, despite it still being a valid completion for the word I'm typing. Why suggest it and then remove it?
Impossible --unless you go fully on-chain.
I would argue that ReCAPTCHA’s still work, at least to some extent. Spamming a form is much easier to do when you don’t have to spin up an entire virtual browser to fill out those form while also paying for the GPU computer necessary to run this ML model. Plus, “click farms” for solving captchas have always existed, at cents per solve.

Plus, ReCAPTCHAv3 makes this entire attack irrelevant by making image classification not a part of the CAPTCHA.
Anecdotal evidence to support what you're saying.

I work for a large health care company. They got on the JS bandwagon a while ago. We used to have huge sites that loaded fairly quickly (under 2 seconds) and cleanly. Now? The last two years doing accessibility work - a lot of these same sites which have been converted to Angular or React? They're taking in excess of 15-20+ seconds to load.
Nothing. I gave up on FB years ago. I was a fan of Mafia Wars at the time, so I gave my account to some friends who ran the MW clan I was a member of, and so far as I know they have continued to run the account for the benefit of the clan ever since.

I've never looked back.

My wife keeps her FB account to socialize with her family and some friends, and I occasionally get updates from her. That's as close as I get.

Open floor plans are one small part of the problem. Older houses have separate rooms so people can have more psychological space, when they want it.

Granted, that was for the comparatively rich. Poor people might all live in a one-room cottage with a dirt floor. In some places, many still do.
Well, to be honest, consider the following:

Windows 11 is designed to suck peoples attention away from productivity by gamifying the operating system with rewards for useless mind-drifting, monitizing people’s attention.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Netflix, etc are designed to distract people and keep them similarly hooked.

If the majority of the population is using those platforms, then the majority of the population is more distracted today than ever. How is that trend not tending toward reduced productivity?

Oh hey I wrote this!

Yeah, we had a detector with some ML stuff, it worked okay, but the main issue is there isn't much training data.

Overall the false positives are quite low (visually, which is hand wavey, of course). I've not really seen a big event that was not real. I ran it for a while 24/7 and while there are "scintillations" there aren't any circular waves. False negatives are a much bigger issue. Something like an IRBM or SRBM doesn't really show up, and those are much more common.

Fwiw, this uses a bandpass filter to look for the ripples, which filters out a ton of noise. Looking at ionospheric depletion would be good and probably more sensitive, but it requires accurate models of what the ionosphere ought to do. I've tried a few things there with mixed results.
It's interesting to me that, after a quick look through the first few pages, it seems to have a much tighter technical focus than HN. I do sometimes wonder if the culture and politics stuff that seems inescapable in the English speaking media is less of an issue in countries that speak different languages.
The problem is that NK has thousands of traditional artillery pieces stationed along the DMZ that are capable of hitting Seoul and other large population centers [0]. They also have short range ballistic missiles [1] which can reach much of South Korea.

So negotiating with them has been dicey. Especially since they have figured out that "If we do this thing the west doesn't like, we can go to the negotiating table and get them to send us food."

I do want to point out that the war never ended in 1953 - there was just an armistice signed, so technically North and South Korea are still belligerents.

So far as the DPRK leadership acting rationally - by their standards, they are. From talking with people who have visited there - the North Koreans have a world view that is substantially different from everyone else on the planet.

No. These are the receivers from japan’s GEONET.[1]

“Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) operates GNSS CORSs that cover Japanese archipelago with over 1,300 stations at an average interval of about 20km for crustal deformation monitoring and GNSS surveys in Japan.” [2]

Basically the government of Japan pepered their country with GPS base stations and they let researchers use the data from them. This is just a novel use of that data.

One thing I’ve learned the hard way is that you need those little gasket seals on the inside to avoid a leak but if you over tighten the connection with a gasket inside you can actually get a leak just from over tightening it!
Really cool idea, like the thought. Ot feels stupid to get one or two or three though. So like, were ot not sold out, spend $1250+ for a kitsch cute little music doodad?

This is both what makes Teenage Engineering great, but also iconifies the inherent excess of the brand.

Sell the whole kit for $800. That's where I think this transits from a fuck-off rich-boy toy to something worthy of merit based on value. That said, the volume is just going to be low, period. Charging way too much is semi-necessary?

I sense that you disagree with my understanding of how things are, but you are offering nothing of your own view at all..

While this is legally true, in practicality all companies will give a reason for being fired in the US precisely because, if the employee does bring a suit alleging discrimination, "just because" isn't a reason that's likely to pass muster with a jury.
You're right, but then the name becomes misleading (it should be "Git Metadata" or something similar)

The best way out of this situation could be aliasing the feature to something else with better defaults, with a hope that gets adopted by github/gitlab and the major GUIs

Recently lots of companies have moved to quarterly vesting which is very employee friendly

I’m guessing you’re a startup meaning illiquid options - high risk with a tiny chance of a high reward after its all said and done, and the standard 90 day exercise window upon leaving is very employee unfriendly

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on overstating what you can learn in a startup. From my (potentially naive) pov, you get more hands on experience and less problems are abstracted away whether it is through infrastructure, processes or whatever and also the work (might?) be more important for the company to remain alive so I’d imagine you’d have to get a better understanding faster in order to keep up?

Alas, despite my best efforts and hundreds of hours invested, this proved almost unworkable.

It's not fair to assume every person is going to become addicted to things like diet coke or fast food. "American" diet has room for a lot of clean eating. Processed food shouldn't be considered the same as "American" food in my opinion. Convenience driven food choices is cultural in America but that doesn't make the chosen food American.

I think something like Tex-Mex would easily allow for clean eating. Avocado toast, with whole grain bread is fairly healthy and was an absolute favorite of mine after workouts and I would consider it "American" food. Tacos are a great way to have good portion control and also feel filled. Allowing non-traditional recipes opens many options. Avocado grapefruit salad on tortillas with fried tortilla strips is a recipe I came across recently that I really enjoyed. I think non-traditional is the essence of true "American" food.

For fast food, Popeye's Blackened tenders are not breaded, a 5 piece serving is listed at 280 kcal compared to the classic tenders being 740 kcal. Nuts or apple slices with peanut butter is a fairly filling snack and can easily fit within 200 kcal. The main thing you would have to look out for is sodium if cooking at home is difficult. I know most of my bodybuilder friends go to a diet of chicken breast and brown rice for dinner for months at a time when they want to cut. It's around 400-500 calories depending on how you prepared it.

Vegetarian and vegan recipes are good starting points for cleaner eating too. Borrowing from other cuisine makes it a lot easier as well. I love preparing vegetable side dishes for dinner in the way it's prepared for Korean dishes. Miso soup is fantastic for when I have food cravings late in the night. It's not "American" but I'd argue there's nothing more American than making microwave miso soup at 3 am in my star wars mug. Coffee is popular too, and is very low calorie if you can get used to no milk or sugar, or only sugar alcohol/substitutes.

For some context, I grew up and live in one of the most culturally diverse states and counties in the US. I know that not everywhere in the US has the same diversity of food options, but I would argue that Amazon has done a lot to make food accessible.
The common situation given has a convenient workaround, but IIRC this limitation also effects the kernel's own cmdline. Most folks aren't going to running against it limit in that context: built-in module options can usually be moved into the kernel's compile-time configuration, and loadable modules can have options offloaded into /etc/modprobe.d, but there exist contrived situations that challenge these solutions. ZFS for instance is (IIRC) always compiled as a loadable module, so if you wanted an initramfs-on-zfs for some reason (again, contrived) then you may need to provide it options before /etc/modprobe.d is mounted; almost /definitly/ not too many options, but you'd better hope so! Perhap mildly less contrived situations may be dreamt of, but in practice, modules involved in filesystem and other potentially boot-timey-things are designed with this limitation in mind and avoid (or simply never consider) the need for excessive cmdline options. I doubt one would ever need enough modules to hit the limit with, say, 3 options, of 20 chars each, per module, all on the cmdline.
And proud of it.
Sure, this is a super abbreviated version of my current setup for developing https://notado.app

shell.nix - this brings the packages I need to develop into the $PATH when I run `nix-shell` in the repo

{pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}}:
with pkgs;
mkShell {
buildInputs = [
meilisearch
openssl
overmind
pkg-config
postgresql
rustup
tmux
];

shellHook = ''
export OVERMIND_PROCFILE=Procfile.dev
export PGDATA="data.pg"
export MEILI_DB_PATH="data.ms"
'';
}

Procfile.dev - this is used to start the background services I need, the format is "name: command"

postgres: postgres -K /tmp
meilisearch: meilisearch

Then I can run `nix-shell` to load all the dependencies and `overmind start` to bring up Postgres + Meilisearch with ignored data dirs relative to the project folder. If any of these packages need to be pinned to a specific version you can do that with this tool[1].

That's pretty much it - with all the background services running you can load your monolith or microservices with cargo/npm/etc. It's all very nice and clean!

Calling out the inherent absurdities in the constant attacks on the character of anyone following the evidence or remaining agnostic isn't a personal attack. Maybe the fact that you feel attacked when seeing a pale reflection of what you are spouting should tell you something.

If you believe there need to be extra moving parts in your theory without evidence, that's fine. Calling someone who doesn't religious is where you start to sound like every crank in history that couldn't wrap their head around heliocentricism or relativity.

Not arguing against the point you are making, just highlighting a silly turn of phrase. Who ever encountered a nuanced populist?
I didn’t explain myself correctly. I know what I’m doing but I’m aware that I’m not an expert by any means. The skills I’m learning are essential to any startup that wants to grow IMO so I’d imagine I’d get better exposure in those environments.

You’re spot on about chasing something tho, and I am indeed not sure how to recognize if I have it
This pisses me off more than it should. I’ve slowly gotten better at not immediately clicking on the account (which ends up with me clicking on the search result that shows there instead) but every time I forget I get unreasonably mad.
Going on less than 200 calorie diets for days or even weeks on end was the norm in humanity for millions of years so how is it unhealthy all the sudden? It was a time of constant mass feast and famine alternating from one to other. The problem now is we have the feast part down pat but no famine
This is why everyone switched to overlay scroll bars. It's also better for performance because you don't need to do layout on a screen worth of content only to realize you need to reserve 16px and do layout again.
Reminds me of my Dell monitor. Years old muscle memory is:

1. Unplug laptop from monitor
2. Power off monitor

but step one triggers some automatic input detection mode for about 10 seconds during which the monitor ignores its power button.

I’ve done an about 1 year stint contracting, all with a single client pretty much staff aug web dev, then went back to fulltime.

I’d love to find engagements where you’re not tied to their 9-5 hours, have to attend their daily stand ups etc. I think the only opportunities like that on a standard full stack engineer skill set is building MVPs for new startups, or companies with no in house dev team
Im curious to see evidence of plant damage if it occurs, thats quite a devious tactic if it is implemented.
Performance as in operations per second. I believe power performance, operations / transistor and many other metrics are better on stack machines.
Well they’re all sold out anyway, so it’s moot! Possibly a tiny run just for funsies.
No one linter or static analysis tool will pick up every possible error.

cppcheck picks this up (a bit cryptically):

clang-gcc.c:17:72: error: Invalid memcmp() argument nr 3. A non-boolean value is required. [invalidFunctionArgBool]
if (memcmp(m_result_original, m_result_my_version, sizeof(struct tmp)!=0))

PVS-Studio picks it up too (more precisely):

<source>:17:1: error: V526 The 'memcmp' function returns 0 if corresponding buffers are equal. Consider examining the condition for mistakes.

flawfinder doesn't catch anything either. That doesn't mean "cppcheck is better than flawfinder".

The error here is in the programmer relying on one tool as source of truth.
Yeah I can’t say I disagree with you. The tone of it stuck me as terrible though.
It is possible to have an adequate intake of proteins and of most vitamins and minerals with only about 600 to 800 kcal.

Practically pure proteins can be provided by turkey breast or chicken breast, adding e.g. around 300 kcal for an adequate daily protein intake, and the rest of the food can be composed of non-starchy non-sweet non-oily vegetables, which provide only about 20 to 50 kcal per 100 grams. One could eat more than 1 kg of various such vegetables without exceeding 800 kcal.

There remain a few things that would have to be taken from supplements, e.g. omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D3 and vitamin E (which is abundant only in high-caloric food, like olive oil or almonds). The simplest is just to take one pill per day of those offered by various vendors, which include all the essential vitamins and minerals, to be sure that none of them is insufficient.

A little vegetable oil would be needed for linoleic acid.

> Page is slow because the average page size is 2.2mb. Plus JavaScript parsing + execution time. Plus asynchronous calls to go load more stuff. Plus time to re-layout around the new stuff.

I think it's mostly blocking chains of multiple networks requests that execute in sequence (taking a network round-trip each time). I inherited a slow ~2mb frontend app at work, which seemed horrendously bloated to me. It turned out to be not that easy to reduce to the size (due to large amounts of code depending on large libraries), but it also turned out to be possible to make it load fast without reducing the payload size.
An oft overlook topic is childcare.

And I'm not just talking about little kids, big kids too.

For those companies that went from 5 days x 8 Hours ... to now 4 days x 10 hours (8am to 6/7pm), what happens to children during this extra time?

Our entire society is based on the assumption parents end work by 5pm.

Who's going to feed and get kids ready for bed if the parent are now arriving home 2-hours later, which might be the kids bedtime.
Many of the 'theories' in the post seem made up and extremely subjective and yet they're presented as if they're facts.
