F150 2011 Lariat is maybe my favorite car I've ever driven from a "dashboard features" point of view.

It's got what I consider the important features - auto lights, auto rear view camera in reverse (embedded in the rear view mirror), bluetooth.

It has very little else smart. Knobs and buttons everywhere, basically no screens (a very small one under the dash showing trip stats, but dials are hugely predominate, and a normal radio display with nothing but the station, song, and clock).

It's a very nice truck - was near top of the line for it's year, good sound system, heated seats, cooled seats - all of it has a physical button.

I hugely prefer it to the dash of any modern car I've rented in the last 5 or 6 years.

It looks like this: http://gtcarlot.com/data/Ford/F150/2011/41459168/Dashboard.h...

I would absolutely prefer to buy a high end car with the budget dashboard (GIVE ME KNOBS AND BUTTONS!)

Applications in every KDE system menu and search box result list have descriptors about what the application does that follow the application name. Didn't mean to be rude but it's honestly not hard to read the descriptor textsbefore clicking on something.
Not a direct answer but more career advice. Can you combine your degree with programming? It seems like a waste to throw out a good degree. Start programming as a hobby before throwing your hat over the wall?

There are few jobs in low-level programming, but of course, if you are very skilled, you can always find work. There are plenty of books and websites where you can learn it. If you genuinely regret your degree, then there is a way.
A little more info that I didn't include in the post.

Did you know that more than 150 Makers have already started building Stack-chan with kits or their own creations? We frequently publish the results of our development on Twitter under the #stackchan tag.
https://twitter.com/search?q=%23stackchan%20OR%20%23%EF%BD%B...

I've written a detailed explanation of the motivation behind the development on my Hackaday works page, and the Logs page contains not only my development records, but also examples of hacks by community members.

> The Oracle/Dropbox model of 'here's someone to blame, just pay us for that' is a reasonable business strategy in an environment where the business in question wants as little involvement in the development of a product/service that they rely on: They just want the features that are being advertised, and are willing to pay for its siloed-off development. The actual proceedings of the potential arbitration in the future don't matter as much as the name on the sheet that they can rely on for blame/support.

Yup, that's why I'm a paying customer of Tailscale (biz tier).

I don't have a trackpoint on my keyboard.
So I use warpd [1] for pointing at a location on the screen with key combinations. It is really convenient, once your brain has rewired to this way of clicking.

Still have to use the (real) mouse when dealing with drag'n drop or selection, though.

We are talking about a much longer change than just 30 years. Serfdom was rare in the UK by 1400 long before the American revolution or steam power.

As to slavery “no legislation was ever passed in England that legalised slavery. In the Somerset case of 1772, Lord Mansfield ruled that, as slavery was not recognised by English law, James Somerset, a slave who had been brought to England and then escaped, could not be forcibly sent to Jamaica for sale, and he was set free. In Scotland colliery slaves were still in use until 1799 where an act was passed which established their freedom and made this slavery and bondage illegal.” English merchants where happy to participate in the American slave trade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Britain
Macros don't (necessarily) return functions. They take a set of values and then produce an s-expression, which in turn is read by the reader and evaluated. For instance a user-created `when` macro would be something like this (not tested):

(defmacro when (condition &body body)
`(if ,condition
(progn ,@body)))

That's not a new function that's been returned, just a new expression which can then be read (and macro expansion can be a repeated process as its read so you can use nested macros in macros in macros, even recursive macros but take care there).

You can use macros as you describe, in a manner similar to a Python decorator, but that's only one of many possible uses.

Absolutely. That rubber is a little narrower and a little higher, and more grippy, making it a lot more easier to manipulate.

That trackpoint + the good old thinkpad keyboard were, to me, the best experience ever. But thinkpad were always too hot, too big, and then they gave up on that amazing keyboard.

Perfect thinkpad:

This isn’t a dogwhistle, this is a foghorn.
And then to others it means spending going out and building things using concepts they're learning, not because they want to pass the course but because they're obsessed.

I just started as a teacher, I don't know if that kind of obsession can be cultivated in students through a specific environment or if it's something they bring with them into the class. Or if even trying to bottle that lightning alienates less willing students.
I'm starting at Pacific Northwest National Lab on Monday in the data science and analytics group. I am coming from a 100% corporate background, and I am expecting a non-trivial culture shock to work overwhelmingly with academics and government folks. The reason I joined is I'm highly motivated to work on climate and energy projects, and it seems like an incredible place to do it.
From the Truffleruby repo [1]:

> Regarding performance, TruffleRuby is by far the fastest Ruby implementation on the yjit-bench benchmark suite which includes railsbench, etc. To achieve this performance TruffleRuby needs a fair amount of warmup, as other advanced JIT compilers do. If you find any performance issue, please see this guide.

One benefit of YJIT + cruby is it doesn't have the same warmup costs. If you're deploying many times a day, this JIT warmup becomes a dominant factor.

I suspect that's simply a stock regurgitated PR-speak answer saying nothing with <insert keyword here> replaced by "puppeteer".

I've seen a zillion reponses like this from lazy students (although, to be fair, the grammar is quite a bit better). It should get a "D", but honestly I'd have a hard time throwing that down given the coherence of the grammar. I'd probably have to give it a "C" by comparison to the rest of the class.

This why I really don't understand the fuss about GPT. It's just not that great.
I've found the clearnet IP of some darknet markets by typing their <title> into the text input at search.censys.io. That's such poor opsec that I have to assume I identified a phishing proxy to the market rather than the actual origin server of the market itself.
Even the languages that were painful in the 1990s have gotten better. Some of it was the system libraries, some was just the lack of experience in API design, some was just a lack of awareness that better was even possible. While I don't like C++ at all, certainly C++ in 2023 is a lot more tolerable than C++ in 1997.

I learned programming in the late 1990s. Looking at Windows programming at the time looking like gibberish to me and I looked forward to the day I would understand it. Honestly, it still looks like gibberish to me. I understand the whys and the wherefores better now and if I had no choice, yeah, I could learn it and write it, but the code from that still reads absolutely awfully to me, just unbelievably bad by almost every modern standard. Even when you're writing approximately equivalent code in C# at the same low level of acquiring handles and manipulating them with very low level APIs, it's just so much better now.
If you're actually an independent researcher, sometimes you can find professors at universities or national labs that are willing to help out in exchange for credits on the paper. I've had success at [redacted] labs in the New Mexico region as well as folks from my previous university. The trick is asking people who do research that's sort of adjacent to your field.
Agreed, you can try sending it in chunks but then you lose context. Perhaps the ChatGPT based API will help if they expose the conversational memory as a feature.

I'm now becoming convinced that pairing a good external Trackpoint keyboard with a 2-in-1 laptop will be the way to go if you don't want to be tied to Lenovo.
Twitter allows you to "like" tweets which is a public signal that people can see. A lot of people use Likes to save tweets they want to find later. But this pollutes the algorithm with social signals that are thin. Bookmarks allow you to save the tweet without imparting A) a public sign you like something and B) without pushing the algorithm directly.

Bookmarks are very useful because of that. And, they are also private - accessible only to the account holder.

That's a great idea! It would also have usable clicking, unlike today's scroll wheels where clicking ends up moving the scroll wheel or not clicking way too often.
I'm curious about this as well. Specially how their videos barely buffer and almost instant. you could say that they can preload them cause for you is mostly VOD, but they have live as well and it may not be as instant. its still feels pretty instant no matter how fast you scroll. I don't know how to inspect their app but their website version is using video/x-flv progressive download for playback. which surprised cause

Capitalism.

What distinctly differentiated industrializing Europe from anything in its past and anything in its contemporary world for so long was its socio-economic model.

Capitalism and the attendant far greater class mobility, much like dot com boom, attracted intellectual horsepower to industry in the service of seeking wealth and advancing up the social ladder.

What made me give up the TrackPoint was.. a new Thinkpad. It has simply gotten so difficult to use with the T460s, possibly due to the high screen resolution (I had the 2560x1440 variant). Increasing the sensitivity did not feel right, and it sometimes have too much inertia (pointer keeps moving after I release the nipple mouse). I hurt my fingers trying to use it at a low sensitivity. Eventually I just gave up and switched to the touchpad for most use cases. More recently, I got another Thinkpad with a lower resolution, and it seems to be much better, but I'm no longer that accustomed to using it anymore. Maybe I should consider trying it again.

Some of the best scientists were and are unconventional late bloomers.

Real science isn’t exam based. I’ve found that those who get the top grades at top schools can utterly fail to develop any novel research. In fact it’s a huge problem. Many grants proposals are largely ‘me too’ derivative works.

This is why grad school hinges not on grades and exams but on actual research.
They are buying the talent like they would when they buy any company. They are certainly not buying a single trained model.

You might skip the TikTok ones or not reach them. Every time you close the app or change contexts, it probably wastes ~5 preloaded video intros. Reddit and Twitter could do the same. It's not necessary to load the entire video, just the first few seconds. But since video isn't the main focus of those, I can see them not feeling the need to optimize it so much.

I think Twitter's video servers are also just slow.
I don't expect to be made that offer, so the point is somewhat moot. I might pay for it but it won't be available because the company offering the $100/month subscription that has those characteristics will be annihilated in the market by the company selling it for $9.99/month, if not free, and covering every square inch in advertising and "nudges" for sale.

I have a whole rant about GUIs that includes as a subset how Appletalk was still a good idea and I wish GUIs would have doubled down on that rather than writing it off, but that's a separate topic.

If I was king of HN I would just auto-flag any post with the word "woke" in it. That word is never about tech, and is 100% politics, but it feels like it gets a pass here somehow.

How exactly is China banning an app in its domestic market aggression?

You have a very strange definition of aggression.
Super cool find! Interested to hear how/why you came across this in the first place.
The idea is really cool, but implementation seems hard to get right.

Apart from the security issues mentioned by others (related to storing user auth/session data), what happens if there's an update to the website/application where the screenshot is being taken from? Or if they add an announcement banner at the top, all content will be displaced.
Even ignoring these things, they seem to do pretty well. I only use TikTok by being linked to it, and the video always works. The same cannot be said of Reddit, which often just shows a spinner, or sometimes it gets stuck midway through the video, or sometimes keeps playing sound even when you navigate to a different page.

I think Reddit is just especially terrible. They had to write custom code for handling the viewport autoplay, and ... I guess didn't implement everything else correctly.

YouTube has been fine for ages, though, and have great keyboard shortcuts that no PM would ever think to ask people to add. They just added them in 2008 and kept them all working through 5 versions of HTML. Not bad.

There was some good discussion on the /r/programming subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/zyf9rb/there_i...

I would love to continue the conversation: I think it's a really important topic in the world of increasingly deep dependencies. I too hadn't heard of the Gorilla maintainers reaching out for new contributors or sun-setting the project until after the fact.
I saw in another thread that people were working around this by asking for a summary of sections and then combining the summaries and asking for a joint summary.

Kind of like map reducing the articles.

Not really, the first steam engine was used in 1606 to drain a coal mine in Spain but they didn’t catch on til the early 1700’s.

England really industrialized via multiple waves transitioning cottage industry and water power driving drop hammers and other equipment to ever more industrial factories. It’s a surprisingly smooth transition where individual inventions like the spinning wheel just keep compounding and driving further increases in efficiency.

Steam power was only used at mines initially because mines where limited by geology. Unlike early factories you didn’t get to decide where the ideal place was you where stuck where the resources where located.

This is an issue. I haven't experimented to see if there are workarounds, so the service currently checks the length of the article text and if it's very long, it will send a portion, otherwise we'll exceed the token limit. There's a note on the front page about it: "Limitations: The OpenAI API does not allow submission of large texts, so summarization may only be based on a portion of the whole article."
Interesting. It's easy to focus on public life catching up to technology, but we're also pretty good I'd say to stay backwards compatible. But who defines what should be minimally required anyway?

As long as we're doing sweeping generalizations: Perhaps white Christian nationalist conservatives just can't stand it that so many people reject what they (the WCNCs) claim to believe is Divine Will.
Resources are not homogeneously distributed either though. Coltan for your smartphone has to be mined by children in the Congo before being shipped to fabs in China, etc. Most supply chains are just so global and complex. Reorganising to have local production in well off nations will be very extreme, not just "a bit more expensive"

Economics stands apart from other social sciences in its culture. It has pivoted quite heavily when it was transformed from political economy into economics during the marginal revolution. And while Marx can be jokingly referred as "a minor post-Ricardian" by some economists, he is considered a father of sociology alongside Comte, Weber, Durkheim and Spencer.

This is a good starting point. I suspect some of the disagreements in this comment section stem from the difference in mindset between people for whom classwork either directly applies to or closely resembles their intended career path, and others for whom a lot of classwork (like my statistics courses) appear simply as a rigid gate to gaining access to their best career.

Perhaps a solution to the problem is better societal acceptance of trade schools, but at least in my area a university degree is a surer shot. Even if the degree is just a tool to then go do something completely different.
