> imagine if instead of washing dishes for 20 billions hours at day we make paintings, songs or theorems. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Well... no? This feels like a restatement of the common "no more toil!" attitude VC-seeking futurists with no real skills fucking love but can never deliver on, and it's also totally inapplicable here.

Washing dishes is two (or more) person activity. It's a prototypical example of a couple working together or a parent working with a child, together in a shared living space and negotiating or demonstrating how that space is put together. It can be quiet or loud or a simple conversation. It's "mindless", and I've worked through a lot of hard things while cleaning my kitchen - probably rivaled only by the shower. It's certainly a space that easily admits singing!

But I'm sure your smart dishwasher and chips in dishes will "optimize" out this part of our human lives too. Or at least sell information on my diet back to my health insurance company with you pocketing 90% of the gains! Not to mention the sustainability of everyone buying a ton of robots and new dishes!
Probably because there is a lot more operational understanding of “traditional” RDBMs and they’re sufficient in early stages. Once your product takes off it can be difficult to scale but by that time you probably have enough money to attract engineers that can do the migration.
It did not.

Booking.com did that.

I do however always choose an apartment for corporate trips, but always via booking.com.

I agree, but why would one share wedding photos using an open license like Creative Commons?
I think some of this is because it's way harder to write a new library for a well-established language & ecosystem and become well-known for it, than it is to do the same in a new ecosystem. This goes for languages and frameworks both—React, for example, generated tons of opportunities like this, to become known for something by basically solving a problem that'd already been solved 1,000 times—but with React.

Like, if you want to build your résumé and get offered some of the cushier programming-adjacent gigs and get to present at prominent conferences and generally become A Name, how likely is that to happen if you try to launch some big web framework, or an auth library, or an ORM—in Ruby? Or Java? Nah, too crowded.

But if you pick some up-and-coming language (that's up and coming in part because everyone involved is doing exactly what you're trying to do) or hook your wagon to some new framework's (or database's, et c.) hype cycle, well, now you're talking. As a bonus, many of these projects require little or no novelty—it's all well-trod territory. Just half-competently do what hundreds of others have already done, succeed at promoting it (tellingly, this is the harder part) and you're a rockstar. And hell, maybe doing all that does demonstrate some kind of remarkable and valuable skill, for all I know!

But the point is, if that's the kind of thing you're trying to do, you need churn, and a bunch of people all trying to accomplish the above drives that very churn. Very little of that activity actually advances the industry, and the churn itself is a huge drag on everything.
I'm also looking for a frontend position. I don't see it listed on the hiring page though.
I'm not an expert, but I would explore the possibility of a space elevator going from an spaceship orbiting the Moon to the Moon surface, and back.
What, so you could DDoS them? Heh...

Yeah, even just a(n automatic) "[pdf]" in these submission titles would help. Or the site could just not force download since most browsers can natively read PDFs, etc.
I remember a couple of years ago there was a kerfuffle about how Ars chose articles to write. I certainly don't remember the specifics, but it seemed like advertisers could commission puff pieces on a topic as a sort of a "rising tide lifts all boats" for whoever contracted the advertiser. This was how they claimed to avoid ethical concerns for writing the puff pieces.

I worked in a setting where very similar arguments were raised (about a different medical issue) and I always wondered about conflicts of interest. In that case, recommending lifestyle changes instead would have meant undermining the financial rationale for the clinic.
It's verbose, sure, but it has great autocomplete support to go along with it.
There are 4 segments and which one is being used is presented on the bus interface (S4/S3) so 4MB of total memory is actually possible in an 8086 system, and the 8086 documentation does explicitly mention that as an implementation choice, but I don't think many systems made use of that feature; bank-switching seems to have been more common.

The reason being that separating the segments into their own address spaces would create something more like a Harvard architecture, which isn't really wanted in a general-purpose computer.
I do this for every Windows installation that is used for similar purposes, like embedded machines that has to run a single application, virtual machines, etc.

For who says that this will break the system: it will not, provided that you only need to run win32 applications (as it's almost the case). It's basically the same thing that Windows 10 LTSC (or now Windows 10 IoT I think it was renamed) does, that is not have any appx package installed beside Edge and few system packages.

You of course loose a couple of utilities, such as the calculator (but you can simply do calculations in powershell, python or whatever), the image viewer (you can view images in Paint) and audio/video player (just install VLC or open them with a browser).

If you need the store you can reinstall it afterwards, and then use the store to reinstall any software you need, that is faster than manually removing all the bloatware that is installed (like Candy Crush and stupid stuff that shouldn't even be there in the first place!)
The calculations seem pretty subjective on whats actually essential if a kid actually costs you 40k a year. I don’t even spend that much on myself .
You might be stuck at a local maximum, and might find even more happiness by exploring other ways.

I'm not suggesting you should throw away what works for you, but if you only do the things that are already working, you might miss out on something you would have enjoyed.
I'm not saying we should ignore wage theft. I am saying it is a scenario where a police force cannot really do much.

You can call your local PD and report shoplifting, or most other kinds of physical theft. It would be a pretty clear accusation, and these days odds are you'd be able to produce some simple evidence in the form of video footage (CCTV, cellphone, etc.).

But how do you report wage theft in a way that the average police force can act on? Are you going to call and say "I'm being forced to work unpaid hours"? If you did I can almost guarantee you they would refer you to some other department or organization. I would not envision the police showing up to arrest your employer, take them in for questioning, etc.

Wage theft is also slightly more complex in that the victims are often complicit in the sense that they continue to work for the employer. To be clear, I am not saying this makes it right, but it makes it hard for the police to do much from an enforcement perspective. You're saying your employer is underpaying you, but you're also continuing to work for them. The employer would tell the police that showed up that you were free to leave, or were agreeing to the term by virtue of showing up. It would take legal action, e.g. a lawyer not a cop, to actually create a claim that was actionable and enforceable by the law enforcement organization.
The separation of compute and storage is most of all convenient for whoever operates the database.

Need more compute, or scale it down when not in use? You can add it in minutes, no re-balancing, no careful moving of data. Need more storage? You have it on tap. Want to give some group of users their dedicated compute? Or run differently configured computes on top of one data, including even using different compute engines for batch and for interactive? You can.

Compare Snowflake "create warehouse", which can give you compute that can immediately access any data, with a dance you need to do to resize Clickhouse and decide which tables are replicated in what way.

At the same time, everything you say is true, and that is why system without storage-compute separation can give you order of magnitude more performance for the same money than a separated system can. If someone could solve the fragility and hassle of it, it would be quite a winner.
How are you attributing the longer boot time to 'bloatware' and 'telemetry'?

I'm assuming you've measured this can you provide stats I'd be curious which components of Windows 11 is causing this. I'm assuming you've downgraded to Windows 10 on this machine with the exact software versions loaded to determine this?

Causation and correlation are 2 separate things so I would caution you from making sweeping statements.

More like stay and die there. How are you going to refuel on mars? You aren't going to build an entire pipeline of industries in just a couple years to get off Mars, and shipping that much fuel to Mars would be ridiculous. They better start sending fuel now if they expect to have enough to make it back.

The only reasonable method of shipping rocket fuel to Mars or anywhere else in the solar system is to mine and refine it off the moon or an asteroid, which means a moon base or mostly self-sustained asteroid colony would need to exist first.
In a similar vein, "do the needful" has become so entrenched in some of my friends' vernacular that it's now used almost completely unironically.

Also, "like such as," from the old "Miss Teen USA" viral video, has stuck in my craw to the point that its use is unconscious (though still intended humorously).
The 3DS hacking scene is still pretty active. Great form factor devices, fully jailbroken. Guide is pretty easy to follow at 3ds.hacks.guide :)

I've got mine as the best form-factor emulation station (for older games) you could imagine :).
These games sounds complex and exhausting. As a Brit in the US, maybe this explains a lot.

Having lived in the middle (Chicago), East coast (NYC) and West coast (SF Bay area), I'm curious if this explanation is generally consistent across them.
Am I understanding correctly that those apps are installed on Windows by default? That's crazy.
Maybe it's a general comment to both back-end and front-end. To me it seems that down in the trenches coding is getting more complex, even though frameworks hide more and more complexity. Languages and frameworks gain features and they don't necessarily shed old ones. I've been working in C# for near 15 years. Each C# and .net release brings more to the table. Often these are features, which simplify things, at the same time the old ways still work. Googling often returns N solutions, each from a different era. I imagine it can be confusing for newcomers to even start.
As for the growing complexity in the world of backend, I think, when needed, the best tool against it, is pragmatism.

Perhaps we have different anecdata, but I think gratitude journaling may work better indeed for people who aren't truly depressed. In my own case and the few coworkers I unfortunately recommended gratitude journaling to (who were, like me, quite depressed), it was basically a wrote exercise, in one ear and out the other. Forced journaling just becomes a chore like any other, and it is one in which people spend time "in their head", which is exactly the opposite of what people with depression need to do.

In my case (and in the cases of the aforementioned coworkers), a much more useful activity is to participate in some low-key social activity where people see and accept you. It is so much easier to "bask" in the very minute friendship affection shown by others than to try to think and affirm one's way out of depression by merely writing stuff down in a journal. Anything from rock climbing to amateur basketball to even stand up comedy (one extremely brave depressed friend of mine did this, not me! still scary...), one can take part in letting other people help regulate one's emotions; attempting to DIY this via affirmations and journaling for someone with chronic depression is not a fruitful endeavor.
Ask HN: Which investment asset class will Chat GPT impact most?
I don't know if 1000 square feet per person is the exact same as people living in single family homes as it wouldn't include roads, farms, retail or any of the other spaces you would need, it's just 268,581 square miles divided between 7 billion people.

Population growth has overall largely been a function of increased energy availability, from the industrial revolution onward through the consumption of fossil fuels which are inherently unsustainable.[1]

Also, assuming the number is for example 100 billion, it seems like you still have the same issue of infinite population growth being inherently unsustainable but just on a different timescale.

I could decode these, because there are equivalents in my native Russian:

>"With tongue one go to Roma"

= you can achieve anything with good communication skills

>"It want to beat the iron during it is hot"

= seize the opportunity while you can

>"to come back to their muttons"

you say "let's go back to our sheep" when you realize you digressed
Personally I like music regardless of when it was made. If it sounds good then I like it. Time has nothing to do with it.

And I can't remember exactly what dates the studies focused on as there have been a few I've read. One was over the last 60 years of music if I remember right and across all age brackets in 2022
It's survivorship bias—where bias means skewed from the full distribution of choices people and societies made, not bias as in discrimination.

Most of the families and societies that didn't prioritize population growth (by reproduction or immigration) aren't around to advocate for that approach's merits, whereas those that did are.

Fun fact: for each human alive today there've been 15 deceased humans ever. As zombie apocalypses go, 15:1 doesn't sound too bad.

0x173 doesn't fit in a byte. As the text explains, there are two validation bytes; the first one gets the high 8 bits ("the high byte") of 0x173 (which is 0x01) and the second one gets the low eight bits (0x73).
A lot of people who run this commands don't actually know what happens under the hood, and the repercussions.

Nor do they understand what this does. It's turned into internet folklore by people "just run this and good stuff happens, i don't know exactly what but trust me"
I didn't know that and it would make for an interesting historical article in its own right.
This difference between 8088 and 8086 was used by several MS-DOS programs to detect the type of the CPU on which they were run.

It was easy to measure the length of the prefetch queue by a self-modifying program, which replaced the instruction placed 4 bytes after the current instruction pointer.

On an 8088, the new instruction was executed, while on an 8086 the old instruction was executed.

Various other such obscure differences (e.g. the value of a pushed stack pointer or the result of a shift operation with a shift count greater than the register size) were used to identify NEC V20 and V30, Intel 80186, 80188, 80286 and 80386, because architectural identification means, like the CPUID instruction, have been introduced only in Intel Pentium and in the late 486 models that were launched after Pentium.

No, ycombinator attracts many of these ultra controlling engineers who also see everyone as inferior who doesn’t follow their strict guidelines of technical superiority. It’s very very common in the Eng field in my experience.
I’m 27 and my first job was OSGI at a Java shop.

That was some convoluted shit. Class path errors, coupled to blueprint XML and fancy IDE stuff.

I’ve worked in different languages and frameworks since and love the simplicity of Go. Excited to learn Rust

Email: renarl@gmail.com

I am a full stack and mobile developer with a PhD in computer science and proficiency in JavaScript, Python, and Swift. I am particularly excited by the recent advances in text and image generation and am seeking a company that shares my passion for using technology to drive innovation and improve people's well-being.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects related to the semantic web, knowledge representation, and machine learning, and have founded a few companies of my own. One recent project that I am particularly proud of is an emotions learning app that helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions. This app has already made a positive impact on the lives of people, and I am excited about the potential for it to reach even more people in the future.

I believe that my technical expertise, dedication to delivering mental well-being, happiness, and capability amplification, and my entrepreneurial spirit make me a valuable asset to any team. If you know of any opportunities that align with my goals and values, I would love to hear from you.
Overall theme: Improving my language skills. My hypothesis is that language is the closest we have to a (lossy) codec for thought. By becoming more cognizant of higher-level concepts and the differences between them, we can reason more effectively and improve our thought and communication processes.

1. Get back into the habit of writing and reviewing evergreen notes (https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes, An Executable Strategy for Writing: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z3PBVkZ2SvsAgFXkjHsycBeyS6Cw...) and refining my Zettelkasten knowledgebase and perhaps making it publicly available at some point.

2. Continue refining the precision of my vocabulary and my understanding of the etymology of words. I've realized that I only have a fuzzy grasp of many of the words I use on an everyday basis, yet by becoming more aware of the nuances and subtleties of the usage, origin, and connotations of different terms, I will be able to express myself more accurately and also perhaps better be able to read between the lines of what others say and write.

For example, consider the following definitions:

Compound: composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.

Complex: consisting of many different and connected parts.

Consequently, a set of buildings which share the same property but are unconnected (for example a mobile home community, or standalone military barracks buildings) should be referred to as a compound. In contrast, if the structure has bridges between the different parts, it should be called a complex.

Also consider:

Sophisticated: (of a machine, system, or technique) developed to a high degree of complexity.

Complicated: consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements, often involving many different and confusing aspects

(from Latin complicat- "folded together", from the verb complicare, from com- "together" + plicare "to fold")

An automobile is a very complex machine, since it consists of thousands of parts and systems. To a mechanic, it might be complicated (as reflected by manuals which are hundreds or thousands of pages long and hours of frustration), while to a user it is sophisticated - capable of doing many things, and yet still easy to use, since the complexity is abstracted away.

These 4 words are seemingly very closely related, yet through careful word selection, we can use them to communicate very different ideas and emotions.
Window management is sort of a superficial feature of an OS. If Windows only managed windows, you would not be able to do much on it.
There is so much of this downplaying of humans. We are certainly more than bacteria are any reasonable “scale”. We can create transmissions that reach other galaxies, we can split atoms, and even consider ourselves to be equal to bacteria because we conjure vague notions of incomprehensible advanced species. It’s just a very odd kind of self-deprecation.
I think newer heat pumps (forced air or mini splits) do this. My parents got one and it seems to just run almost all the time, producing a varied amount of heat or cooling.

This does indeed require some fancy touchscreen super thermostat thing though, so that's probably the crux of this.
Multiply a quarter billion children having to fix it for a quarter billion grandparents, and that's a lot of wasted time and added frustration to the world for little to no reason.
We largely have gotten our act together on family planning, which is why birth rates are below replacement everywhere but sub-Saharan Africa, and dripping there too. Only reason population is still increasing is a combination of lag (it takes the smaller year groups now growing up in India and China to become adults before those countries will tip into population decline (excluding immigration), and waiting for the decline in Africa to hit replacement as well.

UN projections indicate somewhere around the end of the century for a net reduction in people, but long before that we'll see developed countries starting to compete agressively for immigrants, combined with campaigns to push fertility up to try for a soft landing.
As I mentioned, good music is out there. But finding it seems to be harder now as a lot of it doesn't make it into the charts and stays hidden except to those who know about it.
