Your implication looks strange considering that ZZ is literally the first command mentioned in “The first steps in Vim / Getting out” section. Most likely it isn’t mentioned in tutorials because these are 99% copypaste medium bullshit from wannabe teachers.

To exit, use the "ZZ" command. This command writes the file and exits.

I remember reading about it 17 years ago in this manual. Tbf, it could have been in another section back then, but that is no excuse for seeking some “easy” tutorials instead of R-ing the TFM. There must be a name for this syndrome when people look for documentation and learning materials in anywhere but the documentation and the learning materials.

A funny thing about American Catholic converts I've met is that they seem to decide they're more Catholic than the Pope on day 2. You can't take the Protestant out of a Protestant apparently, even if they want to do everything in Latin.
The nature of Consciousness is the key to solving all other problems, especially social issues like war and poverty. Actually consciousness was properly understood long ago in Vaidik culture as the Absolute. Thus the modern view of consciousness as a phenomenon is a regression, a failure to apprehend its real nature. Consciousness, as the Absolute is the foundation of everything. Absent consciousness there is no experience. When consciousness changes, as in sleep, the world disappears. The world is the phenomenon and consciousness is its cause.

That applies to most wearables unfortunately. I was thinking on buying a moderately priced smartwatch to track my BPM during exercise but correlation can be as slow on 0.3 on some devices and with delay and never accurately reporting peaks and valleys due to aggressive exponential smoothing. Just bought a cheap ANT+ chest strap instead, does the job without requiring an app.

It's an easy thought experiment.

Do you think that the most successful web companies in the world with arguably the best people i.e. Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Youtube, Netflix, Snapchat etc. have no idea what they are doing. That the highly complex, expensive and latency impacting recommendation systems could be replaced by trivial sorting.

Or maybe they do work, do translate to increased usage and do significantly impact revenue.
The marketing may be that interests align but the reality is that police that answer to the university will jump to answer calls that local police forces would get to when they get to, like petty theft of university property, public drunkenness, etc.

Transit police, university police, capitol police, boutique police forces like that exist for one reason and one reason only: to prioritize things that the police who would otherwise have jurisdiction would laugh at.
Phew. My morse code business is safe for now.
I see the opposite. Most often management guides priorities towards things that sound new and exciting, and will look good on their performance review and resumes. They tend to neglect the boring but necessary tasks that are good for the long term health of the company.
Yes. NBER recently published some similar stats in the context of the lockdowns:

GPT-3 is trained by looking at approximately all text in the world once. So the wall is when you run out of text.

iPhone SE is £450 right now, I could buy a Xiaomi for less than half that and another one in 2 years time, getting hardware updates and software updates. Combined with apples policy of throttling older devices the ongoing OS support isn't that much of a benefit. Personally I stopped using iPhones after the iaPhoje4 when apple made it a huge ballache to repair a broken screen. The iPhine 3g was the easiest phone I have ever replaced a screen on and I fixed a lot of them from the original iPhone, but the time sink on a 4 made it uneconomical, infused to do then for £50 and would have it done I. 15 minutes. The 4 had to be disassembled entirely and reassembled, and you couldn't check the screen until it was all back together, loose connection, bad part, tough, disassemble/reassemble
Looking at your other responses, "software supply chain" may still be a fruitful term to look through. While my example referred to how a dependency could be a vulnerability, you might find something about how updates to those dependencies introduce bugs. I'm thinking about like how changes to Python 3 broke everything. Software supply chains aren't my area of research, but given your descriptions, it sounds like it will still provide worthwhile information.

> Your belief in a fact is unnecessary.

LOL

> The notion that you can not be fat while eating a high quality low calorie diet and exercising is simply false

You actually believe this shit? If you eat a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, full stop. 'High quality low calorie diet' is gobbledygook to make you feel better. You can eat absolute shit and lose weight if you eat appropriate portions. Or do you not believe in the conservation of energy?

> metabolically healthy but obese phenotype is a benign condition, with a better prognosis for mortality and morbidity than metabolically abnormal obese individuals

so, if you compare yourself only to obese people, you're healthier if you're metabolically healthy. And that is some kind of interesting scientific conclusion? Is this a study done exclusively by fat people to make themselves feel better?

Yes, but it's generally bullshitting. It'll assert contestable things with 90% probability, the same way it will deny it has the ability to write code in one response and then spit out a program in the language of your choice (even brainfuck).

You can persuade it of new facts, but you have to be pretty specific about it. I find it useful to work with simple 'fact worlds' from fiction.
Ask HN: Language Support of Modularity
After reading this post on HN: http://blogs.newardassociates.com/blog/2023/you-want-modules-not-microservices.html (you want modules not microservices)

I'd like to know which languages support high modularity. Essentially which languages could you have separate teams work on plugins/libraries that could be used and those users would be forced to only use the public interfaces of the library.

Programmers would be hard pressed to access private functions/classes/data inside the library, and wouldn't be able to compile a bespoke version of the code for themselves. Thus giving you some of the benefit of microservices.

Does go and rust have tooling to allow for the distribution of compiled libraries? Or do you have to just use git sub modules to share compiled artifacts?

C and C++ just force you to distribute DLLs - which I suppose you can do by pushing DLLs to a git submodules and have users access them when they compile them.

This is a document I'd like to keep track of and update as comments come in.

When I worked at efficient tech companies, I had a hard time understanding these articles. If anything, it felt like we had too few managers to handle typical management things and the engineers were often losing time to dealing with things that could have been more efficiently handled by a responsible manager.

Then I took a job at a management-heavy company. They had people with different manager titles for absolutely everything. I ended up on a small group where we somehow ended up with more managers than engineers.

Some of the excess managers used the situation to do very little. They'd join a couple meetings, maybe respond to a couple e-mails, then basically disappear. Others started inventing work to fill the time. It wasn't uncommon for us to be scheduled for 4-5 hours of meetings in a single day because different managers felt like they needed to make themselves visible and point to things on the calendar to show that they were working.

The weirdest part was how everyone sort of acknowledged that the situation wasn't good, but refused to do anything about it. When I tried to push back on some of the meetings, our CTO recommended that our team should join the meetings but continue to code during the meetings. It turned into this weird circus where we were spending most of our days in virtual meetings, trying to do work while managers would pepper us with questions.

When we had layoffs, they laid off mostly engineers. The ratio of managers to engineers went up. More meetings ensued.

When the CEO got angry that engineering wasn't producing enough, management's first reaction was to request more headcount for more managers. They insisted that with more managers they could more effectively manage the engineers. So they hired more managers, who scheduled more meetings...

The lesson I learned was that once a company becomes infected with managerial excess, your situation is only going to get worse. Get out and move to a company that understands how to operate and how to manage their managers.
It can and does actually reason about things. It is merely unpredictable how good it is at it and when it seems to gain the ability to do it.

I don't mean to defend the surveillance complex but what "standing" do these schools have? Schools should take steps to block them if they are a nuisance in school hours otherwise it is the parents' job. Schools do not own the kids despite their desire to control children off campus and out of hours.

"a public nuisance" yeah they sure are but "monetary damages" looks like the reason. They need/want money.

Was the operational target a structure in a wooded area where this individual needed to sneak up on without visual detection? Is that the reason for the foliage-coloured camo?

Because it does not look like the operation involved sneaking around a wooded area to me.

I can't find anything even close to the iPad plus Pencil for sketching/crative stuff. First I tried a Yoga 2-in-1, then a Surface, both Windows & Linux... Then I tried an iPad pro. It's just no contest. The iPad and Pencil always have battery, always ready to go, and there are tons of very high-quality stylus-oriented apps. The other platforms were a laborious wasteland.

It's frustrating because I mostly use Linux elsewhere.

(that said, the iPad has some idiotic warts too... like file sync is terrible, and Apple makes it so it's basically impossible for apps to fix that. And 30% is highway robbery)
No everything needs "team constantly working on code". For example few years ago I wrote a project which takes data from one internal service, parses it, does some processing and puts it into a different internal service. This code has been running 4 times per day ever since. I don't touch it much anymore, except few times per year data formats change, I get a failure alert, and come back to it and fix the parser.

This code is in 100% maintenance. It is done - the existing functionality works reliability, and while I can think of some new features, I have no intention to add them as I am busy with other things which are more interesting and important.

Does it take me longer to fix bugs because I don't work on code daily? Probably. Would it be better (for my happiness or for business) if I start adding features people don't care about to maintain "connection with old code"? Nope.

How does the median relate to the whole? If someone is far from the median Texan do the stop being a Texan? If a Korean person loves and emulates French culture do they stop being Korean? If a white person grows up in a heavily Chinese neighborhood and subscribes to the culture they grew up with are they less white?

The idea that drifting from the median of a given ethnic/cultural group invalidates you as a member of that group is disturbing. Doubly so with race.

Teachers (or school systems) that mandate this system, and, even worse,
GRADE NOTEBOOKS completely misunderstand the point of it. In K-12, one of
the goals is to help students become effective learners, which involves
students identifying the tools that help them learn best.

A single assignment forcing Cornell Notes (or any other note taking system) might be all right. Something like, "Here's a reading, please submit a summary of it in Cornell Notes format." That gets the kids to interact with the system, and it exposes students to something that they might find useful going forward. To force its use for an entire quarter or semester just sounds like sadism.

Furthermore, from what I can tell, the Cornell system is highly tied to paper (and lined letter/A4 sized paper at that), and is basically useless outside of a school/university context. It doesn't do much to structure your notes. Instead, the class itself is assumed to be providing the structure, and the notes combine with the class structure to provide an outline of your knowledge.

In the "real world", where information is coming at you from a dozen different sources, and it's up to you to provide your own structure, something like Cornell falls down, hard.
That’s a good point. Running two CNC machines is a lot easier than running one machine and dealing with a foundry. I mean I’ve only ever dealt with one foundry and they were flaky, and obviously there must be reliable foundries out there, but I don’t like relying on outside shops any more than necessary.

There is no line item veto on signaling liking or disliking a thing overall. It is possible to (for example) dislike locked down systems but like having a tablet that works well for normal purposes, and for that balance to end up with a purchase.

People like to act like buying a thing with properties they don't like is something only rubes do, but everyone does this all the time. It's perfectly reasonable to want things to be better without actively boycotting something that is merely mediocre!

ChatGPT is just InstructGPT with prompt engineering to make the model behave like it's having a conversation. There was probably some additional fine-tuning done to make it self aware (think of the "I am a chat bot trained by OpenAI" spiel), but personally it has comparable performance to text-davinci-003 which was released Nov of last year (Nov 2022).
The core underlying problem is that economic rents are extremely distorting. It is at the root of why we end up with hideous suburban sprawl with no affordable housing, and no walkable downtowns that nobody wants to live in. Taxing land value flips the incentives around and makes it more likely that we get nice, walkable, affordable cities. Because the ideal cost-minimizing strategy is to have clusters of nice high density housing near public transit and mixed-use urban markets, which is largely what people want.

But not if you offer exemptions. If you offer exemptions the winning strategy is to build tons of spread out, cramped, single- or two-story residences with most of their land value exempted.

But how will people pay their land value tax? Well for the most part, low income people will pay it the same way they currently do: rent. It's the landlord that pays the tax. (And preemptively: no, studies have shown that higher taxes aren't just passed back to the renter. So they'll pay the same rent even if the land value increases.)

For other small homeowners, (1) there is expected to be a lot of disparity in land value in an 85% LVT regime. People in desirable places pay high LVT. People on the outskirts pay close to $0 because their land is valued close to $0 (compared to today, at least). And (2) there could be other social welfare programs (e.g. basic income, or unemployment LVT forbearance) which help those in need.

Hi, I really enjoyed the piece! How much to test at each layer of abstraction has always been something that's bugged me. This article provides a nice strategy.

I still have questions about a few scenarios though. Let's say, I have two classes like this:

class KeyValueStore {
int64 Get(Key key);
};

class CachingKeyValueStore {
CachingKeyValueStore(const KeyValueStore& wrapped);

int64 Get(Key key);
}

Here, the `CachingKeyValueStore` class is a wrapper around the `KeyValueStore` class, and its purpose is to simply maintain an in-memory cache (instead of RPC calls or Database calls). How would you unit test the `CachingKeyValueStore` class? So far, using Mocks have been my only strategy, because behavior-wise, both classes have the exact same outputs for the same inputs.

I think that some of the lessons from the book Essence of Decision might be relevant.

A challenge I've seen in management-heavy organizations is that the many layers of management largely function to make good management impossible. The many layers of command between ICs and the source of many decisions means that the people responsible for relaying information up the chain of command are incentivized to put their own spin on information as they relay it, in part in order to help secure their own positions within the hierarchy. The other side of that coin is that the many layers of communication between senior decisionmakers and what's actually happening on the ground mean that the information they get is often of insufficient fidelity to support accurate decisionmaking.
Sounds like a fancy way to do ex post facto criminalization by convenience without technically changing a law.
The other legal problem is that any p2p communication system is very quickly taken over by the sharing of copyrighted content, and then by stuff like child porn. This is, for example, what happened recently with Firefox Send.

For any p2p system, law enforcement go after the creators of the system, because that's the only entity they can go after besides those who actually commit the crimes.

However, if one builds a federated system with moderation tools built in, then law enforcement go after the ones running "bad" instances rather than the system builders.
MacOS doesn't support touch, at all.

The day Apple will release a MacOS version with touch support that runs on iPads, most of the Macbook line-up will likely cease to exist.

While this may still happen one day, to this day Apple is already very happy to sell the current iPad to mostly buyers, not users, who may even be scared of the many buttons and windows of a full featured operating system on their limited but intuitive and easy-to-use device.
That's what maintenance means - you are going to fix regressions (reduction in existing functionality) but not add the features.

A lot of established APIs are pretty stable, so you may not even need a single full-time person (when averaged over a year).
