Close enough enough for what? For the typical Californian or New Yorker, who drives about 30 miles a day, on-car solar would cut their charging needs in half. That's "close enough" to useful that dismissing it out of hand seems wrong.
>>Why are you still burning fossil fuel to heat houses? If you had stable electricity you could use heat pumps instead.

You do realize that in many countries - including the US - a very large portion of electricity is still generated from fossil fuels? Until there is enough electricity generated from wind/solar/nuclear, switching to an electric heat pump just switches where those fossil fuels get burned, i.e. it pollutes someone else's neighborhood instead of your own.
Haskell is too special, to be used in typical large project.

But in real projects, are in wide use other pure functional langs (trying to write most popular first):
- Erlang (telco, finance)
- Lisp (finance, CAD)
- Scala (basically universal)
- Scheme (basically universal)
- Elixir (frontend)
- Clojure (don't know much, looks like also frontend).

But in most cases, they are sort of DSL, because functional paradigm is much better in some niches, but not so good in others.
It is entirely relevant and entirely constructive.

The question posed is about whether others get anxiety from, paraphrasing, not keeping up with all the crap going on in computing today.

The answer is that no one gets anxiety from all the crap going on in computing today. It is incorrect to claim that all the crap going on in computing today "triggers" anything.

Thoughts about all the crap going on in computing today occur. Taking those thoughts seriously, as if they are significant and objectively real occurrences, prompts the physiological changes that are then interpreted as anxiety.

Yes, that applies to most things in human subjective experience, which is a testament to its immense value, rather than a lack of value.

The question was not phrased, at least, as "how does one constructively manage continued professional development with all the crap going on in computing today", but about anxiety over it.

That perceived anxiety is the outcome of thoughts like, "There is too much to keep up with, I cannot understand it all, I will fail to provide for myself, I will be homeless and starve to death."

But, hey, dismiss and downvote. Least resistance thinking is the way.

Until and unless Microsoft Office products are on Linux natively and are supported by Microsoft, Linux will never be a mainstream operating system. And that's never going to happen.
Brutally honest:

You suck at marketing.

You need to promote the shit out of media that you want people to consume. What did you do to promote it? You need to create engagement and use platforms where you're more likely to bring in money (this is why Twitch is the current favorite for new concepts like yours). The title of each episode is factual but boring and makes it seem like the interview will be a sales pitch for each product or service. Also, minor point, there are no dates on the episodes. The audio, see below.

You suck at audio engineering.

The audio from several samples I listened to ranging from mid-run to the most recent episode were a plosive and fricative nightmare. It was literally difficult to listen to. If this were some course for a degree program, I could probably suck it up and listen to it an hour at a time. But this is edutainment.

The parallels to Java are so fascinating on multiple levels. Did you know that Guy Steele was behind it too? At one point it was a revelation to me that the Java designers were not rookies, they just made a conscious decision to dumb things down.

And in hindsight and after 15 years of cleaning up the mess we know that they just needlessly made a generation of developers suffer through primitive abstractions.

I'm never buying another Chromebook and Chromebox because Google sunsetted my perfectly fine working laptop and Chromebox and now it can't do things like play streaming movies from HBO Max because the chrome version is too low. Spotify doesn't work either. Leaves few things left to do with it haha.
That kinda entirely depends with what people you're stuck with. In 6-10 person team you can just avoid working with that one colleague you just can't gel with (even if they might be perfectly fine from competency standpoint).

I think medium-sized projects (say a team of max 10, or maybe 2 smaller ones) seems to be the most fun ones. You have enough manpower to do some bigger reorganizing if required but it isn't as big that rewrite of any part is years-long saga.
I created https://screen.studio and it made 30k in first month after releasing it.

It allows you to create beautiful screen recordings in minutes.

Idea: my own pain both individually and when working with team. When you create any kind of app you often need some video of it, either for promo, landing, social media posts, tutorials, etc.

It was always taking way too long and was quickly getting outdated as app UI changes quickly.

Then I have seen stripe profile on Twitter and their promo videos and thought "how much of this video could be done automatically basing only on mouse movement and clicks info" and boom.

As a good entrepreneur I started by getting a domain of course. I got a really good one - screen.studio so I had to instantly start working on MVP
JIT doesn't modify the behavior though, it typically just changes a function pointer and then that function does the same thing but more optimized. So then instruction caches just has some effect on performance instead of changing program behavior.
I had trouble getting the tmux setup working in iterm.

The main page suggests -CC, but the best practices wiki[0] says to use `-CC new -A -s main`, but this causes iterm to warn that a session is already started and doesn't actually create or reattach like I expected. I also had trouble getting the tmux select-layout to work: when I tried it all my panes just exited with an error. I would like to have iterm behave similarly to Kitty's tall layout[1] which I think is the same thing as tmux's main layout, but haven't figured out how to make it work. Anybody have tips on making these wek?

I’ve had to stop using tmux on macOS (MacBook Pro 2018).

For some reason I kept getting extreme slowdowns/laggy behaviour when using neovim.

I’ve seen this thread: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/353

I tried everything in the thread and still end up with a laggy terminal. For now I just use iterm2 with tabs but I miss my tmux.

On my personal Linux laptop, I never encounter the same lag with the same setup.
Ah, I see. Apologies to GP, but I believe the point is still reinforced - the biggest enemy of an engineer when it comes to dates is ambiguity.
Agreed completely, the joy of HN is the broad spectrum of expertise and a moderation/karma system to elevate both a mix of content on the homepage, but also the experts to the top of the threads.

My recommendation to younger people starting out is to aim to become a "T Shaped Person"[0], or even better "F", or "π" shaped. The idea being to have a very wide range of shallow knowledge, enough to communicate, understand, spot the BS, and make a start. But have a very deep area of expertise in one, or ideally a few, core areas relevant to your chosen field.

Personally I find HN an invaluable resource to ensure that I have a very board, but shallow(ish), understanding of a large number of interesting things. I've been here for 14 years and it's probably been one of the most valuable experience I have had.

This is a good call-out. The software security field uses the term "audit" in a deeply weird way. A real audit, like the kind done in a SOC2 assessment, really is about the report, and is more like 90% paperwork than 50%.

Here we're talking about software pentesting, and consulting firms have historically used the word "audit" to elevate that work. But these engagements almost never follow the shape of a real audit; there's no spelled-out audit criteria, there's no reconciliation against previous results, and the focus of the engagement is almost purely the exceptions, with little to no documentation of the tests completed without findings.

> Arent they afraid that after spending a lot of money on some developer that peraon will just quit facebook and write own poker bots?

That's a risk when you pay workers to research or learn nearly anything new. If you run a pizzeria, you teach your workers how to make pizzas; they could turn around and make pizzas for another business instead. Maybe even open their own pizza shop and compete with you, using your own recipe.

I think accepting this kind of risk is simply table stakes for running a business.

Yeah, but exotic materials like graphene aerogel might allow for static pockets to fill the void. We (humanity) have developed some pretty insane materials since we really explored the airship space originally. It would at least be interesting to explore.
Even if you 3D print a whole cathedral in concrete, printing something really detailed and the intricate takes more time than a straight line or simple curve, because the print head needs to ac/decelerate. And time, even that of machines, is money.

Not sure about resin printing, but you can't resin print concrete (yet, AFAIK).

I’d presume it was a mistake.

I remember one time when I asked a native speaker to proof-read an article I wrote. Most of my mistakes were missing "s" in the present tense, one of the first thing you learn as a beginner.

> I sometimes think about sitting down and properly learning English. But for some reason, I think that would be a waste of time.

Same here. My company would pay for English lessons (3h a week with an English coach). It's quite a commitment and I'm worried that I'm way past the diminishing returns and it would take tons of effort for barely noticeable improvements. On the other hand, I'd love to get better and it'd be helpful professionally for sure.
Rings true for me, I'm about at the reinstall stage with my HTPC. It will no longer send audio via HDMI due to some deep obscure pipewire config that broke itself without me touching anything. It also no longer connects to my Bluetooth keyboard on 2/3 of the keyboard's channels (actually it connects and disconnects very rapidly, several times a second, but is unusable regardless).
Except you aren't buying a USD when you buy a stablecoin. You are buying a fraud that pretends to be a dollar.

A true dollar, offered by a bank or money market fund, has assurances from the US that it really exists in our federal reserve system.

A stablecoin is a chuck e cheese token pretending to be a dollar. I can make an excel spreadsheet pretending I have a billion dollars, but I'd be a liar if I did that.
It's done to offer the office supply shops a bonus by giving them the extra sale of their ridiculously overpriced USB cables.

> tldr; We don't know anything about inflation, we know less how UBI will or won't affect it and it doesn't matter anyways, because UBI will not become a thing anytime soon

Not true. We understand the causes of inflation.

Creating models that accurately forecasts inflation is a different matter, and it’s not helped by big financial actors manipulating and hiding their actions.

The reasons Social Security doesn’t lead to rampant inflation is because Social Security is funded by the working age residents—decreasing the disposable income available to peak spenders at their peak consumption age.

And also because it’s distributed starting at an ever increasing age so it’s far from universal.

If UBI becomes necessary nationwide due to the “investment class” owning everything, that’s a sign that our system has failed completely.

Perhaps it’s inevitable.

This is not what privacy primarily is about, though. Taking Cypher's choice is also not some profound path.

While privacy is indeed a measure protecting one against becoming a victim or a target of malicious intent. First and foremost, however, privacy determines who is in control and has power over you through (access to) knowledge related to you. It's a human right that shapes all aspects of any society, not just some best practice like locking one's door.

The problem is people don't think or care much about far away ills, that's why it is too easy for us to dismiss and normalize the degradation of our rights.
I can definitely recognize the writing styles of non-native speakers and can sometimes guess their primary language by the way they write. For example, Russian speakers tend to omit articles before nouns and speakers of romance languages often prefer Latin-derived words which also exist in English over more common Germanic words because those words transliterate easily from their language.

I love it. It helps some of their culture and personality show up in their writing. It reminds me how diverse and varied the world is, and what a delight it is that we can come together on the Internet.
Directly here refers to explicit detection (“here is a signal that is DM and gives us immediate knowledge about its properties”) as opposed to implicit detection through inferring DMs existence from a lack of something.

A lot of people complain about DM being fuzzy, and that’s exactly why: we only have indirect evidence. So what everyone wants is a direct measurement of DM, for example a particle signal if DM is a WIMP.

And to your last point: that’s exactly it, the thought of an unknowable thing in the universe is terrifying, frankly. And this has nothing to do with wanting to be right, whatever DM is, I just want to know, even if it’s fancy MOND without defects somehow, or MACHOs.

If charging commuter cars how much does this change the equation?

Where I live, law dictates that power companies don't have to pay for excess power that not-the-power-company puts onto the grid. Thus, everyone that puts solar panels on their roofs shoots for putting up capacity to that is slightly under what they expect to consume. Businesses that have large roofs but comparatively little electricity demand are disincentivized from rooftop solar.

We need to change this. Building codes should require that every roof that faces a suitable direction and is not obscured by landscape, buildings, etc., must include rooftop solar. Every new garage stall should be equipped with a charger. Cars that spend the day at home can be topped off (or to 90%, whatever works best for the battery tech) during the day and be drained to run the house/neighborhood and charge daytime commuters during the night.

I have a pretty good idea when I will need to have more than 50 - 100 miles of range in my car. I don't feel like my gas tank needs to be full every day. Likewise, if my EV with a range of 200 - 300 miles has 100 miles of range most days, I have no worries at all. If I'm expecting a longer trip, I should be able to say "be sure I have 300 miles of range by 8:00" or pop in for a one-off charge at a charging station.

Surely this doesn't address dominated by multi-story apartments. Arguably, those are also the areas that have less dependence on cars and make up a minority of the housing in the US. According to the US census, 29 million people live in urban clusters and the remaining 220 million live in less densely populated areas.

>Firefox was no longer my default browser, it was changed to Edge

I'm wondering how does this happen? I have Chrome as the default browser on my Win11 machine for a year now, and after all the updates, Chrome is still the default. The default apps for PDF, music and video play-back were also kept between updates. Updates never did anything funky for me, just added improvements and new features, which kept me contempt with it.

Really curious why this would happen to you but never happened to me. I have Win11 Pro edition, installed from scratch from the official ISO (not OEM), if that makes any difference. Maye OEM or Home editions behave differently?

I haven’t had a lot of luck with architects. In one case I came to a company that got rid of their architect and hired me and another person to replace him (to be fair they were too small to warrant a full time role anyway, not sure what they were thinking).

Especially in the post refactoring era, they tend to have an inaccurate account of what the code is actually like and make bad calls based on bad info. It’s a responsibility that works better when the people have their hands in the code. I’ve had better luck with Architecture as a job description shared by the lead developers. In large enough companies they have Staff Engineer that scratches that itch with perhaps slightly less people skills (though I really don’t recommend it).
