They're actually saying that Python developers prefer one particular way of doing something rather than a different particular way of doing the same thing. You're suggesting that they're saying Python developers (Canadians) prefer Python (Canada).

I don't mean to speak against your broader points, just that this specific call out is mistaken.

Windows 3.1 tasking was technically lacking, but still very useful and still very much needed alt+tab. It needed it even more than win95, in fact, as it had no task bar.

Convincing people to not fool around never worked so the birth control pill was invented to allow people to indulge with less consequences. I recall someone (I forget who) said that things that prevent you from eating will never work and the only solution is something that allows you to indulge without the consequences. Does this drug allow you to indulge without consequences or does it make you not want to eat? If its the later, I bet that it won't have long term success.

Edit: A drug that allows you to indulge without consequence in this context would be a bad thing. It would allow people to eat non-stop without the consequences and would increase the demand for food in the modern nations to unreasonable levels. If you think about it, this kind of drug would have the same outcome as bulimia (think, hunger games).
Why does real LTV have to be greater than CAC. Can you explain that to me?

If you’re LTV is actually higher than LTV can’t you finance the difference?

I don't know what "truly web-based OS" means exactly, but Jobs was very resistant to third-party apps at first.

"Initially, third-party native applications were not supported. Jobs' reasoning was that developers could build web applications through the Safari web browser that 'would behave like native apps on the iPhone'"

Yes. But see, it’s coming from the same government that ended up closing the underwear section from supermarkets during covid « for sanitary reasons », or ended up forbidding drinking inside trains (that one lasted only for a few days, because it was too crazy even for them).

We now even have a word for the country they’re turning france into : Absurdistan.

This is pseudoscience. As long as you consume a certain amount of calories and get your daily nutritions, you can eat whatever you want without getting obese. You can still become obese eating 3000 kcals of salad every day without exercising. Of course, healthy caloric intake will only ensure you don't become obese, you'll still be consuming way more fat/carbs than you should if you eat McDonalds, but it is certainly possible to create a "healthy" everyday-McDonalds diet (but you would be changing the meal to the point it won't be recognizable)
I have no knowledge of what allows QuickJS to run the tests faster, or if it even does run the tests faster, but QuickJS does have one big speed advantage over V8 in some circumstances: QuickJS allows ahead-of-time compilation of JS to byte code. This removes the need to parse the JS at execution time. It’s a pretty nifty feature.

My freshmen Calculus course used Apostol. I found it a great approach, and it was a lot of fun trying to prove ourselves the theorems in the book.

For many students, intuitively understanding the infinities and infinitesimals in integral calculus come easier than those in differentiation.
"Perhaps the PowerShell maintainers might consider retroactively defining $? as an integer type that reports the actual exit status of a completed program. This would be useful in a variety of scenarios."

What I have noticed reading comments online is that people who express satisfaction with or actively promote PowerShell (the name still cracks me up) are often the same people who expressly dislike using UNIX or are blissfully ignorant of the UNIX shell's existence. As such, it's possible they would not miss something like an exit status in $? because they never actually tried using it.
Longitude was a much tougher problem to solve.
I think the big lesson from Semaglutide is that bad eating habits are not the primary cause of obesity. More likely they are correlated due to common causation.

What are your salary requirements? That's probably the biggest sticking point, as you won't be a senior dev (in terms of coding skills). I'd address that relatively quickly in any interview process.

I think your skillset is well aligned with a team lead who has one foot in the coding world and one in the product/project management world. That's probably the type of role I'd look for. In my experience, consulting companies are far more forgiving for this type of transition than product companies are.

So I'd take the following steps:

* do some coding in your spare time to see if it matches with your ideas. No sense in making the jump if you are wrong. You might see if there's any small projects/hackfests you could participate in as a coder at your current company.

* write up a resume emphasizing your technical skills. This can be coding, requirements gathering, QA, architecture review/feedback, etc. Minimize your prouct management experience.

* find a consulting company looking for a team lead or senior engineer in a tech stack that you are comfortable in and get to know the hiring manager. Ask them for coffee and explain your situation and ask for their advice (people love to give advice) on how to find a coding job. Are there specific things you can do to make the transition easier.

* make a list of consulting companies that you'd like to work for and look at their jobs page. Apply, but do it through the back door, via someone you know there. If you don't know someone, find someone you can get to know (even a weak connection like an interaction on HN or Twitter is far better than applying through the front door)

* get hired :). Do a good job there, and make sure you get as technical as possible. Given your background, the company may pull you towards the project management side, but resist.

* after you've been there for 1-2 years, look around for a product company if that is your end goal.

HTH.
Weight is back to baseline within a few months after lipectomy and sometimes greater than baseline. In animal models there is regeneration of fat cell number following lipectomy along with increase in cell size, and which mechanism predominates depends on how large the fat cells were before (manipulated by reducing food). This is the critical fat cell size hypothesis, and in humans there is similarly evidence that fat cell number increases (hyperplasia) in advanced stages of obesity after the cells reach critical size (hypertrophy) but I'm not aware of that being studied in situ in lipectomy recovery. I'd make a confident guess that it depends on how obese the patient is and perhaps their baseline number of fat cells.

But there are a lot of different mechanisms and feedbacks at play and I'm not sure how much insight can be gained from comparing localised lipectomy to systemic adipocyte proliferation resulting from a drug.

> I've found it surprisingly low effort to get good enough at guitar and, in fact, piano, that you can start to see social rewards, i.e. people actually want you to play, at least a little.

Also surprisingly low cost for a pretty good instrument. $250 dollars will get you a pretty good solid top steel string acoustic guitar (Yamaha FS800 or FG800, Fender CC60 or CD60, half a dozen models from Orangewood) or solid top classical guitar (Cordoba C3, Yamaha CG122).

Piano costs a bit more, but $500 or so should do it for a pretty good beginner instrument.

By pretty good I mean an instrument that sounds good and has a good feel so that you don't have to struggle to play it (beyond the struggling inherent in being a beginner even if you were playing on a professional concert level instrument) and it won't make you learn any bad habits you'll have to unlearn if you continue and move up to a better instrument.

> Meanwhile I put in more hours and had far more formal instruction at a woodwind than either of those combined and... yeah, nobody wanted to hear that shit, it sounds awful (cringe-inducing, even) unless you're excellent

Plus woodwinds and other orchestra instruments seem to be way more expensive. I'd guess that stops a lot of people who might have been interested in taking them up.

I checked at my local music store and student oboes for example start at around $3000. Clarinets around $1000. Tubas around $4000. Wow.

That is a theory, and I think most researchers agree that it's a factor, but I don't think most researchers would say it's primarily to do with the gut microbiome.

Once you start eating them it's difficult to stop because they override normal satiety mechanisms. Foods like Doritos are quite literally engineered for maximum pleasure (dopamine) and minimum satiety. I'm sober now and I've noticed that it's incredibly hard for me to drink more than one or two glasses of juice but incredibly easy for me to drink alcohol indefinitely - it feels similar to the difference between eating Doritos and eating nuts or cheese, where one promotes satiety while the other actively drives overconsumption.

Yes, my anecdotal conversations with people who post these things is that that's mostly how they happen. The closest I ever get to writing the whole thing out ahead of time is just writing two or three posts worth of text into the reply box and then splitting it up before posting. Maybe e.g. journalists or writers with more long-form experience do sometimes write out their whole thread ahead of time and then post it, but I think that's a very small percentage.

(For example, notorious thread-poster Foone elaborates on their process/why threads work for them here: https://foone.tumblr.com/post/700185724820078592/one-of-my-f...)

Pacific Software License – no military use
The top Android OEM's now offer 3/4 OS updates and 5 years of security updates. It's time to let go of the "Android software update problem is a tragedy" criticism. And if you still want to use your Android phone after 5 years there's a good chance that there will be a LineageOS build for it.
A) The HN guidelines [0] specifically request discussions not be about tangential annoyances (like the format of the content) rather than the submission itself. Now this potentially interesting discussion has been hijacked by the top thread, and most replies, being to yet another boring rehash of "why isn't this a blog post".

B) In this specific case, the author has written a lot of blog posts about this domain (though not this specific subject), and those have been on HN frontpage occasionally. So whatever reason they had to use Mastodon for this writing, it at least wasn't coming from ignorance or a lack of a platform.

People WANT to indulge. A drug that kills sex drive would never work but the drug that lets you have a sex drive without consequences already works today.

Edit: It might have novelty support but I'm confident that in the long run people will choose to indulge and get the dopamine.

Cut yourself some slack should be the first point

My dad made something like that, except not with a Frisbee. It had two helicopter blades, and a dowel sticking out opposite the engine for balance. It had a little ring at the center of it holding the other parts together. He'd launch it from a screwdriver through the ring.

And once he did, it was pretty random where it went. Once it just went horizontally at about ten-year-old-me's head height. I ducked under it and it kept going. Sometimes it didn't do that much. And once it flew up... hard telling now, maybe 50 or 100 feet, and traveled maybe 1/8 of a mile before it ran out of gas.

You could sort of steer its initial direction by slanting the screwdriver. After that, you had no control, not even a kill switch.

Fun. And danger.
Level of value is perception-dependent, of course. For me, the facile-seeming "Attaboy!" comment I posted might look like a cheap gag, but for me it was actually a performative contribution to the discussion. That is, a stab at "What is an example of how a naive heavenbanning feature might look or work?" with the bonus that folks got to experience it in action, not just read a proposal about it.

If my comment got a few people thinking about various ways to implement heavenbanning, then I think there was value. (Naturally, people are 100% free to decide for themselves whether they see value or not in the comment itself, and vote, or not, accordingly.)
Suggestion to interested readers: Skip the first two paragraphs and read them at the end.
"[A] bit fraught" is an understatement. Any excavation under the right of way in New York immediately runs into undocumented tunnels, steam conduits, sewers, and water pipelines from the past 400 years of development.

They're trying to map these things out but it will probably take more than a decade. Until that happens you can't even begin to budget for a new city-wide underground infrastructure project. Any project has to be point to point and focused.

Let alone the issue of the rats.

Let me tell you, the number of thin people I've met who got there through discipline and hard work is vanishingly small compared to those genetically blessed. This is probably why it's such an appealing delusion -- who doesn't want the world to think they're disciplined and hardworking, instead of just lucky?

During that era, MacOS suffered from a severe lack of third-party software. This was the biggest thing keeping customers from purchasing Macs. Computers are only useful if they have software.

But lack of software wasn't an issue for websites, since Safari could, in theory, run any website as well as any Windows computer could.
I'm making a different point.

We're already in serious trouble due to climate change, and our future looks increasingly bleak due to it becoming worse.

It's a big enough issue that the whole world should really be at war with burning fossil fuels right now, our best minds should be focused on solving this issue, yesterday.

What this article proves proves is that we're capable of solving really hard problems in very short amounts of time, "if the inventive is there". Clearly it was, I can't help but feel it has a little bit to do with profits and political motivations, which is why moving to renewables is happening (because it makes economic sense), but is the political drive and will to do more there? I don't think so.
> the last browser vendor not financially dependent on google.

Apple takes billions from Google for them to be the default search engine. Unsure if that counts as 'dependant' or not, but it's not an insignificant amount of money, and Apple doesn't seem to be a in a hurry to give that up.
Do those numbers also include any "contractors"? If not they are meaningless.

Would it be fair to describe Blink's JIT as more of a "baseline JIT" to QEMU's "optimized JIT", or does that analogy not accurately capture what you mean in the first paragraph?
It's also not that easy though, and blink's code generation is comparable to QEMU in 2007 or so. Even if TCG remains relatively basic, 2x better code generation then QEMU is still a strong claim.

I suspect that the reason why blink is faster in this experiment is not related to code generation, as I mentioned in another comment. Looking again at the screenshot, the 28 context switches (vs 0 for blink) might be a clue as well.
The USSR was only dependent on the US for food imports during its final years, by which point there was little real concern about war between the two powers, and indeed the US was trying to actively prop up the USSR because it was worried about the power vacuum that could result from a collapse.

The whole issue with the Yugoslavian and Soviet states was that they weren't separate states with trade relations but were instead held together as single nations by force.
It can be about the memory bandwidth, but it matters mostly for hi-end data processing software.

You can compare Threadripper (4-channel memory), Threadripper Pro (8-channel memory, same as for EPYC servers) and M1 by memory bandwidth.

Example 1: https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-threadripper-5965wx/5 - ClickHouse on Threadripper Pro with less number of cores but better memory bandwidth is faster than Threadripper with larger number of cores.

Example 2: https://benchmark.clickhouse.com/hardware/ various servers, while Aarch64 servers have good places, the top results are from EPYC servers. Never EPYC servers have 12-channel DDR-5 memory - sounds like a heaven for ClickHouse :)
I'm well aware of the stat that you're pushing, I am pointing that it does not apply to people that are obese. Costs rise rapidly for obese people MUCH sooner than the elderly and smokers which are a very niche group (specifically in the US), obese people are not; they also have early signs of problems, where smokers do not. Which group overran hospitals in 2020 with COVID and drained resources from other departments/types of healthcare? I'll give you a guess. That overrunning lead to the deaths of people that weren't obese and didn't have COVID because they could no longer get care. Also, Smokers don't need constant medications to fight high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, etc, so their lifetime costs are much much less.

Even outside of the medical realm, people that are grossly obese use more resources, including fuel, which effects everyone. It is very much a problem for everyone.
thats what will happen. Think about farmers, people in more rural areas, homesteaders, etc... There is no high capacity supercharger network there and isn't likely to be. ICE machinery is incredibly important to them.

A total conversion to electric isn't feasible in a lot of places like that.
>We will disconnect.

And replace it with? I'm sure you'll say "A local group of people we trust", but in general in history the locals will have been dumb as hell too, and only trustworthy because you had no other means of validating what they said.

And that would only cover the people disconnecting, not the converse... The AI won't disconnect from you. You still have to buy goods, you'll still need services. AI will be there watching everything you do all the time. Where your car drives. The people you meet up with. Always calculating, always optimizing. Too much power for the greed of humans to ever put back in the box.
