Happy to be wrong here. It sucks to think I had the standard experience given how difficult and draining it was.
I’m probably not as talented as the author, but I can’t relate to this feeling of giving up because some work won’t be used. I have been working for ten years post-PhD and every single product I’ve ever worked on has been canned, sometimes very circuitously via acquisitions. My work is trade secret so I’ve never filed a patent, written a publication, nor given a talk. I have zero outwardly observable accomplishments. My resume and LinkedIn rolodex are the only testaments that I’ve done anything at all.

And yet I don’t see myself retiring once I have enough money in a few years

Many of the other older ones are referring to old controversies, though I see the 14 year old one still has new comments from this year claiming it's all lies.

That is a different technique that uses the same medium of storage. When I say "this technique" I'm referring to specifically what was discussed in the article.

"Evil tracking companies will do evil things with any protocol features you give them" is already well known and there's not much to say about it that hasn't been said. What OP is actually doing is clever and new to me.
What's usually blamed on bullying victims ? Is that a lack of assertiveness ?

In society there's often a reflex to blame girls from trying to hitch hike, like stepping in risky activities.. but for bullying it seems completely passive and unwarranted.
Anyone have a rough guess at the cost of generating these?
My dad passed away recently.
My mom was constantly trying to cook for me. She did all the cooking for my dad.

Was weird in that he wanted food cooked the same exact way as she had done for the last 48 years, no variation tolerated.

Trouble being that she was is a terrible cook and he liked his food burnt to hell and loaded with sugar and massive quantities of taco seasoning.

Pretty sure Taco Bell is healthier.

So I ended up doing all the cooking.

She seemed to make up for lack of cooking time by showing me things of his I might want for hours on end for multiple weeks.

Me and siblings now have tons of boxes of stuff we don’t want. But it calmed her down for us to take it.

I didn’t realize how important making the meals was to her. Not that she cares about the food. She knew it was terrible. She was excited to start eating the way she wants to.

But 40+ years of habit is really hard to break.

Side tip. We leaned hard way that social security survivor benefits and various pensions will stop immediately and take multiple months to switch to widow benefits. We got her covered. But was a nasty surprise.
>Once you break that habit and your body adjusts to eating healthier food, eating unhealthy food regularly becomes too rich/heavy/sweet.

Definitely.

Be careful what you wish for.

For the US if you automate public services you are going to eliminate Federal, State, and Local bureaucratic jobs as well as the support roles to interface to these services. For example if you automated taxing, you would eliminate IRS employees as well as accountants and software services such as Turbo Tax. In the US we don't have universal healthcare, universal free education, etc. so you be eliminating millions of jobs without a safety net. Automation would have terrible economic repercussions. The extreme level of graft and incompetence would mean the actual automated services would not be very good and would be horrifically expensive to produce and maintain.

> I've got lots of experience in developing with both static and dynamically typed languages

And yet your comments demonstrate the opposite.

> Dynamically typed languages tend to be simpler and easier to use.

Very debatable.

> This means on the whole they have less bugs than their static typed counter parts.

Not at all.

> The real issue with dynamically typed languages is that their performance sucks

Every time you say something like this it just makes it obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You can write almost completely typeless, highly performant, c and assembly code, while high level languages with advanced type systems are generally not the most performant.

You seen to be confused about interpreted/jit/compiled languages and static/dynamic typing - which are not the same thing.

I somehow started inviting friends and meetings for walks instead of meals.

It started because I was tired of sitting all day. And because I was connected to a VC and had meetings where I could dictate the terms, I’d let people know that I didn’t want to sit and see a PowerPoint. I wanted to walk along the beach (near my office) and walk.

Now I also have a few friends I do this with. Friends I don’t see often. I find walking to be better for conversation, health, and just more fun.

Not sure if this is possible. I live and work by the beach and near a lot of parks. But I strongly recommend at least offering it. There must be other people sick of sitting all the time.

They're concepts in category theory? Since category theory's goal is to find common abstractions behind concepts from other fields (mathematics or otherwise), it makes sense some of those concepts appear in other fields. Their definition in a category theory context is different, usually, since you can only express them using morphisms between objects in a category.

> mistakenly thought that web-assembly was purely a front-end browser thing

WASM has well defined boundaries and with WASI it adds some none browser APIs (but still sandboxed).

It's used a lot for:

- edge computing

- plugin systems (or sandboxing)

- easier cross platform code by targeting wasm (for code which is logically well-enough isolated you can compile it to wasm once end then just use it pretty much anywhere (web, app, desktop, server, edge, smarttv) reliable without having to worry about security or cross platform constraints.

- easier auto updating/ever green apps (e.g. I remember vaguely to have heard Disney+ does put all their core business logic into a wasm blob to for both easy cross platform and auto updating of some parts)

Lunatic doubles down one the server focused easy cross paltform + sandboxed aspects potentially deployed at the edge. But I also have seen people use a library wasm-runtime to embed a program written as stdin->dostuff->stdout CLI app into a go program without having to bother with cgo or cross platform support of the CLI app.
This is really encouraging to know. I was thinking more along the line of electron apps and other local-first pwas rather than normal webpages where an 20MB increase is relatively insignificant compared to the benefits it provides (privacy, robustness, no third party apis, etc).
I think the idea is more about Twitter functioning as a public square. The claim is usually that if Twitter functions sufficiently similar to a public square, then the public should reasonably concerned about how/if Twitter amplifies or restricts certain people.
>Russia should have paid attention to how much more effective economic and asymmetric warfare is compared to kinetic warfare

I am 100% sure that Russian state-sponsored trolls are largely responsible for the current state of the "culture war".

Do you remember when Facebook reported how much Russian state actors had spent on disinformation spread on that platform during the Trump presidential campaign? It was of the order of $100,000. Pocket change, to turn the brains of an entire nation into argumentative mush.
Assuming you're correct, can anyone think of a way to count unique visitors without storing data on a users machine or using identifiable user information? Identifiable user information should include hashes that can be re-computed given the original information.

What does single-tenant SaaS even mean? All of your company's data will be in a separate AWS account? Isolated Kuberentes cluster? Individual RDS instance? And how are you ensuring that the cloud provider you rely on is also single tenant? It is a meaningless term unless the service describes exactly how they are isolating customers (And it doesn't seem like they are in this post). In my experience the term is just used by salespeople to assure paranoid CIOs and nothing else.
Edit: argh - this story already had a major HN thread:

AirDrop is now limited to 10 minutes - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33778302 - Nov 2022 (692 comments)

, so https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33806401 is actually a dupe. I'm going to undo the change I just made and put everything back the way it originally was. It will take a few minutes. Sorry all!

--- original, now invalid comment: ---

This comment was originally posted in response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33803692 — hence the reference to "the bigger news". Since this topic deserves its own discussion, I've moved the comments about it to the thread that's actually about this. The other topic deserves its own discussion too.
Companies abandon tech all the time. If anything is certain it's that no software lasts very long. Where's all the companies choosing Ruby for their new projects? Or PHP, or Perl? Most tech stacks come and go. Only a very few last a long time. When a project is led by a corporate steward, and the steward leaves, so does the majority of its users. People just flock to what's popular, and Go was only ever popular because of a celebrity programmer and Google's gravitas. The projects using it will become legacy or sunset, and people will pick up something else, the same way it happened to other languages as Go arrived.

The languages that have lasted the longest are just institutional. Java is for enterprise, C/C++ is standards-driven and has many vendors and core use cases, ASM is just a basic requirement. Python is only popular because it's for scripting, and JS because it's the only thing for browsers. Go has no niche. Oh, you can statically compile it? Not new. Concurrency? Not new. "It's easy"? Not new. There are entrenched languages that can take up all its use cases quickly. Rust is quickly becoming the new C, so that will last basically indefinitely, probably. But Go has no future after Google.
Now that you know that Airdrop is not in fact blocked in China, has your opinion changed?

I think 4 comes closes. "Maintaining proportion" here could refer to the breadth and depth of the knowledge. These forces are somewhat antagonal so that we need to maintain a certain ratio to reach complete understanding. David Deutsch explains this to some extent in the first ~20 pages of the fabric of reality.

> We need sometimes to step back and communicate the "meta". Not just the assumptions but also the definitions.

Yes, good point. Do you think assumptions and definitions are something different? If yes, how are they different? The problem I solved with choosing a name for the blog was that I wanted to communicate a category of what will appear on this blog, which I think the less defined/fuzzy term solved well.

I guess, I was assuming none of these. But the word scale as in scaling a business/company[0].

Protests have been around for far longer than AirDrop has existed. It seems AirDrop was being used to share posters and slogans and perhaps some basic information, not as some kind of instant messaging app. If Chinese iPhone users are anything like American iPhone users, I'd guess that most wouldn't want to receive a ton of iPhone notifications for unsolicited content.
FWIW, this exploration does not require a CT scanner. A simple 2d x-ray would suffice.
In that case, user eloff is using the wrong terminology.

An offer, in the context of a job interview, always refers to a (paper) contract describing the job title, salary, equity, benefits and other clauses, and implies that the company is ready to hire the candidate.

However, if your assumption is correct, that the company approached eloff with an offer without an interview, that actually means an invitation to have an interview with the company, with no guarantees of getting the job, so when eloff says “I'm so glad I turned down the job offer at Kraken”, I read that as “I declined an invitation to interview with Kraken”.

I have heard many people use the word “offer” to describe an invitation to interview for a job, and it irks me every time.

The history of earths climate going back thousands of years is irrelevant when it comes to global warming.

I don’t care about the history going back billions of years when building an actual greenhouse, just black body radiation how materials interact with different frequencies of light.

Global warming is no more complicated than an actual greenhouse, it’s only understanding the exact impacts of global warming on climate that’s complicated.

No need for this kind of hyperbole.

OP made a claim about their compliance with EU law. I'm asking for proof or at least an explanation.
As a reminder to developers and tech workers that are accustomed to the benefits of working in one of the more flexible and well-compensated fields for traditional employment, if Elon succeeds with his management style at Twitter—nay, even if he doesn't terribly and visibly fail—many folks managing large tech organizations and corporations in general will conclude that that management style is acceptable and sufficiently effective.

tl;dr: if Twitter doesn't get seriously hurt over the medium and long term, this entire industry is going to be a lot less fun to work in as management concludes they can put the squeeze on.
> We should not celebrate morbid obesity as normal and beautiful.

Like blue-haired social justice warrior, this supposed celebration of obesity as an identity onto itself is complained about a lot online but not seen much in real life. In real life people merely seem to want to be left alone regarding their health instead of being accused of being sloths and the like—and health is in general a very private thing to many.

Virtually no one celebrates being overweight. And certainly not obesity.

You talk about middle age. It’s much more common to say that weight-gain is inevitable due to aging than it is to declare that one identifies with one’s gut belly now that one is 40+.
Perhaps we should consider it akin to literacy. In the past, and indeed present, plenty of people couldn't read and so would need to seek help to access government services that required, for example, completing a form or reading instructions.

Nowadays most people read (in my country, UK), though completing forms can have high literacy/intelligence demands. Some lack computer skills but almost everyone (in my country) has some access to computers in free local government libraries and in other local community centres. It's not terribly convenient, granted.

So should we avoid offering services that need literacy to access, or just those that require computer literacy? I'd argue neither, but people should have long transition periods (multiple years) when a system is moving to access only via computer and government should ensure all communities have ongoing access to computers where that's reasonable.
> The Onda Format Specification

> Onda is a lightweight format defined atop Apache Arrow for storing and manipulating sets of multi-sensor, multi-channel, LPCM-encodable, annotated, time-series recordings.

> This format is intentionally language-agnostic; any consumer/producer that supports Apache Arrow can read/write Onda-compliant Arrow tables. For the sake of convenience, the Onda specification resides here (in the Onda.jl repository) and leverages the Legolas framework to both define and version the Arrow table schemas relevant to the format.
Terminology

> This document uses the term...

> ..."LPCM" to refer to linear pulse code modulation, a form of signal encoding where multivariate waveforms are digitized as a series of samples uniformly spaced over time and quantized to a uniformly spaced grid.

> ..."signal" to refer to the digitized output of a process. We refer to the "devices" (physical, or virtual) that sample processes to generate signals as sensors. A signal is comprised of metadata (e.g. LPCM encoding, sensor information, channel information, sample data path/format information, etc.) and associated multi-channel sample data.

> ..."recording" to refer a collection of one or more signals recorded simultaneously over some time period.

> ..."annotation" to refer to a piece of (meta)data associated with a specific time span within a specific recording.

Where I live that's exactly what we have. We have a number of privately owned tag agencies that handle most requests which don't require an in-person visit to the DMV (like a new photo id).
