Could it have some benefits? Sure. Maybe you enjoy the movement of your fingers. Maybe it slows your brain down to the point where you linger on each individual word enough to see new things click.

Are these benefits enough to make it the best thing in terms of ROI? I would suspect only rarely.

- If you're not yet at the point where you can understand what you're typing, you are probably served better by more traditional language learning activities.
- If you do understand it perfectly you're probably at an advanced enough level that just reading it at your normal reading speed, or writing your own stuff and then having a native speaker is a better form of practice.
- If you can understand it with effort but not at a comfortable reading speed yet - you're probably best served by throwing the individual sentences along with machine translations into a spaced repetition system like Anki. Then you can see the same sentence multiple times over the course of a few days and deepen your understanding a little more each time.
I understand your concern with fb, but I visit in incognito and don't have a problem.
> If you take the sofa i left on the side of the curb to bring it home, i am not your supplier.

Yes, you are. That you do so completely passively doesn't erase the fact that you are supplying something and that some kind of a relationship exists.

The law(s) generally also recognize it like that, and the license you are quoting does so as well ('_provided_ "AS IS"').

Sure, your relationship can be a completely passive non-business no-strings relationship, but the relationship is still there.
This sounds…unhinged, homophobic, and like black pilled toxic masculinity.

Stuff like:

> GenX men are largely codependent and needy owing to pressure to be "sensitive,"

> being largely raised in broken homes,

> so their ideal relationship now resembles what is effectively sexual cannibalism elsewhere in nature.

> They don't identify as men because they think men are who hurt their mothers, the source of their belief in a perfect infant self.

I see this argument about the bureaucratic Europe being presented a lot.

Please consider EU is not a de-facto federation, nor many of its founding members wants that.

So I am curious:

How would you envision the daily activity of an EU that should satisfy at least the following points:

- Countries does not want to delegate their full decision power to EU

- Each country wants to keep as much as possible their specific laws, habits, quircks while also wanting _easy_ access to the other country market, lands, citizens

- No country wants to be treated less equal then the others

- Still all countries wants to be together for a greater good (or maybe for the fear of what would happen if they will be alone - see UK now)

Thus I don't see any other way than having a big organisation that handles every small details, that handles with care each national pride and find the best way forward.

It might not seem that way but European countries still have in their collective memories both their own national pride, old disputes with neighbours and the memories of some extraordinary damaging wars.

And the reason it might not seem that European countries are still individual entities is EU. It managed to find the best path that is does not generate conflict.

The official hierarchy still represents decision power. I'm not suggesting trying to document all work relationships but wondering whether a non-hierarchical model of decision power would be better than a classic hierarchy.

Well, something similar already happened for parkings in Texas, and another one - seemingly - about QR swapping for rent bikes :

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29814973

I think it greatly depends on how the app on the phone behaves (I am not familiar with them, but I have read reports of apps that directly access the link in the QR code and even if it asks for confirmation if the link looks legit enough it will trick many people).
How would you determine if increased productivity is due to "labour or capital"? Are people themselves more productive, or are the machines just better?

Wikipedia claims about $47k for Mississippi in 2022[1].

Figures for UK and Germany seem to vary quite a bit depending on who you ask.
One site gives about $45k for 2021 UK[2] with lower projections for 2022 (maybe more about GBP:USD than anything else). The same site gives German GDP per capita[3] around $43k 2021.

I don't have a good explanation for the methodological differences that are producing such different results for the countries.

Huh. There are places that ensure actual effort results in salary increases, promotions, and bonuses? I seem to get better results when I work at a good level but without obviously putting in exceptional effort, to be honest. I wonder if this is shared by others?
I recently came across the epic poem Aniara, which this is flashing me back to:

IANADev, but surely if they were going as deep as understanding patches they'd practically be a project maintainer rather than a package maintainer. Expecting package maintainers to have even reviewed diffs seems like high expectations. I wouldn't expect them to do more than the actual packaging.

Weak words seem appropriate.

I've hacked together a couple of packages for personal use but didn't even go so far at to look what language the code was in. I'm assuming a lot of packages from ppa-s are produced in an automated way with no code review, and depending on your distro that might also be true of some principal libraries.
Cool platform! Thinking about using it for a game project I'm working on – at least for temp V/O. I was noticing that the player for voice acting doesn't play reliably on the search page – you have to go to the profile first. Might be a quick fix.

Do you like your clone more than your real self? Your written words are most of the time an idealistic version of yourself.
40-45 hours of actual work is already very stressful. 40-45 hours of being at work is more than enough and includes all the garbage you have to deal with by "being at work" and somehow getting your actual work done in that time, too.

There is a limit to how long you can focus on a single task for longer periods of time before you need to rest up properly to recharge your batteries. Everything beyond that will lower your productivity, up to a point where you will end up negative due to the mistakes being made. If you are lightweight on useless processes and stuff, a 30 hour week would be way more optimal for a lot of people. Crunch time should be very short and if stuff cannot be "crunched" in a single week it is useless to continue on like that, because everyone involved will be like 50% as effective as someone just working 30h per week (who can focus on the actual work).

On this site, I opened a book at random and was surprised to see several errors in the text. For instance, a full stop was clearly missing in the first line. So I checked the source, which seems to be gutenberg.org (the site has no reference at a book level, but mentions some sources on the front page). Yet the same book (Botchan) on Project Gutenberg does not have these errors.

So I'd suggest two enhancements to the author. Firstly, for each book, state the exact source, including the retrieval date. Then make sure that the up to date version of each book is used.

I also wonder if there could be a way to make all this typing more useful. There are so many books lacking OCR, or lacking review after a poor OCR.
A lot of tourists go to Croatia for it's beaches and coastal towns. Even though Bosnia and Herzegovina has a tiny bit of coast, it is a classic inland country.

Concerning safety, you often have trouble communicating with locals, (comparatively) high corruption and an unstable economy. They are steadily improving but are not quite at the same level as Croatia.

Appart from that, they are not part of the EU and normally don't accept euros.
Perhaps there shouldn't ultimately be one single person responsible for the company's performance. I know the standard way things work, but that's not necessarily the best way.

> 1. Have a family/children? How does this affect your work?

I think this is a huge no-no to ask in the US, since a company can't discriminate in hiring on the basis of family/children, and this is sounding too close to that. (It's about ideals like fairness, and also about company liability.)

When I'm an interviewee, I don't read too much into early startups doing things like asking that question, since startups are still learning lots of things. But if someone is doing this in a big established company, there might be a disconnect from conventional HR practices there, and who knows what other surprises are in store.
I've known way too many lawyers, doctors, tech bros, and finance bros to believe in these silly platitudes.

It might have once been the case that reward correlated closely to risk, but the economy has fundamentally changed faster than our attitudes.

We believe that the US is still the meritocracy it was when we were young, but loads of economic studies show the US has steadily declined in this regard. More than ever, money circulates among the well-connected and wealthy.

The real secret to getting rich today is to be born rich.

Honestly I fail to see innovation. There was ton of propertiary connectors 20 years ago.

Then everybody moved to USB 2.0/2.1 with two physical connector options - micro USB and lightning.

Then everybody, apart from Apple enabled USB 3+, by moving to USB-C connector.

Apart from that nothing really happened for well over a decade now (not that it was necessary).
Think people are talking about different things. When I think about sharing the same code base I think about a single repo with lerna packages, where a lot of the common code is in packages, and each platform's native app is also its own package with its own build toolchain, that pulls in the shared code packages.

The Burroughs mainframes stored most of their stacks in main memory - they have a couple of deep stack addressing modes (and a proper set of display registers).

Alternately 29Ks and Sparcs have register windows which are essentially top of stack caches.

I think that the RTXs were a thing at a particular point of time that made sense before caches moved on-chip, they didn't catch because they expected you to buy into the forth world-view (rather than providing C and other languages of the day)

My advice is to make changes that let you completely eliminate the need for doing certain things.

I think the issue is due to the way modern memory architectures work alignment restrictions don't buy you much. In particular because memory accesses suck in a whole cache line. As long as all the data is in the cache line it's easy enough to swap bytes around on the fly.

I think it makes sense, I would just love to improve ergonomics around getting certificates for internal services.

For example, I use the TP-Link Omada Wi-Fi access points and have a local hardware controller for them. The hardware controller can have a static IPv4 (ugh for no IPv6 support) but since it doesn’t support Let’s Encrypt its only way to get a certificate is to upload one via the web GUI. I can of course create my own CA and install my own cert with a long expiration date but then that would mean installing my CA on a bunch of devices from which I might access the controller.

Maybe the solution is something like having your DHCP box also be able to run an ACME server scoped just to your local domain and have that CA be trusted for your local domain by all your devices that get their IP from the DHCPv4/6 via a DHCP option.

That criteria would just say "every CPU is ok" because ultimately only potatoes are unfit to run those problems. And nobody wants a review website posting "just buy a Celeron or whatever costs less and be happy" for 15 years straight.

On the other hand, measuring on, say, protein folding isn't likely to gather a lot of interest because most people are not buying laptops to run HPC research.

So, ultimately the reason videogames (and video encoding, compression, image processing and a few other workloads) are chosen is because they are workloads where the CPU really makes a difference and is interesting to the average reader if not because it's their problem, at least because they are close enough to be understandable.

(A separate 10 page post would be required to dig into the GPU role and impact of those tests)
> get static IPv6 addresses instead of a dynamic one behind an ISP NAT.

Some UK ISPs give out /48s (cough Sky) but with dynamic allocation. So you reboot your router and every single IPv6 device on your network needs to re-address. Makes routing/port forwarding a PITA and nearly impossible using IPv6.
The main difference is that in Yugoslavia, most of political power was in poorer state (Serbia), while in EU the political power remains in richer countries (Germany, France).

Ask HN: What are the best open source TypeScript projects I can learn from?
What are the best open source TypeScript frontend and backend real world projects I can learn from?

I am a self-taught web developers and I haven't worked for any good companies. There are no seniors reviewing my code.

My code quality can be improved but I don't know how. Maybe reading some good codebase is a way out.

I use React in frontend and express in Backend. Do you know any good OSS projects that use those stacks?

Maybe I should read popular OSS frameworks instead of web app's source code? I am thinking of changing my job, so reading real web app's source code might be more relavant.

I am very thankful for any advices. And Happy New Year!
There's no sides in this conversation. I think it's proper to be exact.
This is a fringe view, in my estimation. Websites do not follow one HIG, people are used to variance. Also, when it comes to Apple, they tend to double down on outright stupid decisions, whereas Android is just a so much of a mess that native does not really mean anything. If you want to make something cool, the basket of native widgets will not get you far either. In general, do not stray away too far from the users expectations (which may well imply not following whatever the HIG says) and they will accept you. The platonic idealists will never be happy under any circumstance, so do not optimize for them.
As a maintainer of open source libraries, the steps I've been asked to take to secure the supply chain are:

* Signing releases (requested by linux distributions)

* Signing commits (actually I don't think anyone actually asked me to do that)

* Authenticating myself with a physical security key. (requested by PyPI)

I found these things easy to automate and they seemed worthwhile to do, and so I don't resent doing them. My sense is that these things are being gradually built in to tools and will become the default without any effort on the part of library maintainers.

So hopefully you'll allow me to sneak in another point! Open source licences create relationships that in political theory would be called anarchism. In software anarchy, anyone's allowed to do anything (or not do anything) they like with their copy of the code. Software is what economists call a non-rivalrous good (ie, multiple people can enjoy it without affecting each other). Anarchy works well with non-rivalrous goods. In contrast, businesses are built around rivalrous goods (ie if you have it, I can't have it), and in this world anarchy doesn't work, and you have to view things through contracts and money.

I think I'll stop there :-)
Agree while I like the article the title is misleading.

Similarly PS2 Linux was official[0]. There was also an implementation of basic.

For the PSX there was the Net Yaroze[1]. Allowing game development and sharing.

The several of the Nintendo consoles have smileBASIC (petitComputer)[2].

Heck you can boot Linux and Steam on the PS4 these days...[3].

Finally, there are SDKs available for every Sony and Nintendo console of the modern era. DevkitPro is generally excellent[5].

It's only going to get worse. I don't think it's gonna take too long for corporations and governments to mandate locked down computers for everyone. Soon all software will require attestation against "tampering". Copyright industry wants this because "piracy". Banks wants this because "fraud". Messaging services want this because "terms of service". Maybe one day even ISPs will refuse to allow user controlled computers on their networks. Who knows what they could do, right? They might be a terrorist or pedophile running Tor and encrypting everything.

This violates the human right of informational self-determination. Informational self-determination is related to privacy but has a broader scope. It includes the right to know what happens with information about oneself. In Switzerland for example one has the right to request a data dump.

Well meant. But FAANG or MAMAA are not transparent about how they gain information about people and what they do with it. And they get away with it. In a way, USA resembles China in their way to social dystopia. Europe tried to fight with GDPR, but we know that went.

I hope the people of the world will understand that transparency is essential. I hope they get the power to enable the human right of informational self-determination.
