> too brief of a blog post

the author kept it brief by relying on cliche after cliche, telling us to make sure we watched a completely cliche video. Why do people who have a critique of society think that they're the only ones who ever thought of this stuff?

can't get enough of it? here, enjoy https://youtu.be/n-sQSp5jbSQ?t=28
I think that was the whole point of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_System_Architect... by https://github.com/HSAFoundation/HSA-Runtime-AMD , as a means to standardise ways to access. Not much came out of it, it seems. AMD itself seems to have a aboned that particular thing.

Seems to be that there are other ways now, to achieve this, on lower levels in the hardware, 'transparent' to the layers above. 3D-Vcache stacked on top of the die, and https://www.techarp.com/computer/amd-infinity-cache-explaine... comes to mind.
You can build other-arch images with regular `build`. You'll of course need QEMU hooked up through binfmt to be able to execute `RUN` steps while building the image, but you can do that yourself without involving `buildx`.
Their processes allow it. They simple have a process of saying, "processes don't allow it" until you notify them that they'll need to get the necessary waivers up the chain of command or you'll be working elsewhere shortly.
No, that's actually the opposite of this finding. There are (at least) two possibilities here:

Young blood has good stuff in it. Adding young blood improves health.

Old blood has bad stuff in it. Removing old blood improves health.

(or both could be true, I suppose)

This study suggests that it's more "old stuff has bad stuff in it". They weren't adding any young blood at all. They were removing the plasma from old blood, replacing it with saline and albumen, and putting it back in. But they still saw similar effects to what other studies had seen with adding young blood.

It may be that there's "bad stuff" in your blood that can't be removed by the kidneys, liver, etc., and this "bad stuff" builds up over time.

Is that a US thing?

My Google TV has no ads as far as I can see.

And on the plus side, it allows you to install YouTube clients that blocks ads :)
* glfw, SDL - C, low level, require more work to get started with (maybe coupled with bgfx if you don’t want to write your own renderer).

* SFML (C++), Ebitengine (Go), bevy (Rust) - high level, easier to use.

* LÖVE2D (Lua), raylib (C) - even higher level.

And Dear ImGui is a must for implementing debug UI/level editor/tools. And maybe PICO-8 as an alternative (it’s something in-between of a low-level framework and a game engine)
I think the key here that people often desire and even fantasize about that which they don't have. A little bit of the grass is greener syndrome here as well.

The lesson I think to learn is to be true to yourself and try and be objective when assessing life. I grew up in extremely rural, a very nature heavy childhood and there are parts of it I believe are fantastic. Meanwhile as I grew older, I found there were things denser populated urban centers could offer me. Every now and then I look back nostalically about how simple life was but there were a lot of tradeoffs in that context I wouldn't just get rid of now.

For me the compromise is to find a moderately densely populated area with access to densely populated resources. I have most all the access to nature quiet and sanity where I live, meanwhile within a 15 minute drive I can do most everything one has access to in say LA or NYC as far as things I care about and am interested in.

As with many things in life, I don't think the extremes are where happiness tends to lie, it's some compromise or mixture in between.
Or you go full corporate but cut your hours by interleaving things you enjoy, like hobbies or gym time.

What happens if you take a 90 minute bike ride each day without changing your hours at all? Would anyone notice? Would they care?

Work is about dollars per hour. Salary is a trick.
Breaking Bad and The Americans are two other shows that would have been cancelled just looking at the viewership. Bob Oedenkirk mentioned in a recent interview that Breaking Bad didn't become a phenomenon until the 3rd or 4th season.
Are you a (to quote GP) hand-gluing numpty? (They’d probably also accept paint splattering on artworks as being on an equal footing.)

They weren’t saying no one who cares about the environment cleaned beaches, just that there probably wasn’t much overlap in those two groups.

It's disappointing that we seem to be OK with abusing internet infrastructure for copyright enforcement purposes.

Let’s not forget that society is also out to kill you and utilize you. HN commenters are near the top of the food chain, while exploited third-world workers and oppressed groups are at the bottom.

I wonder if the author is the type of person to use up all of his vacation time or let it build up
Amen to this, man.

I love being in the wilderness. I love the quiet, the beauty of nature, the fresh air, the opportunity to stretch my legs and challenge my body.

And I love the city. I love good food and municipal garbage collection and plowed roads and the company of friends and family within easy reach.

I've often thought about buying a property closer to the Canadian Rockies (I'm close, but not as closed as I'd like), and then I remember that I'd have to maintain my own septic system, and invest in equipment to clear my own roads, and, and, and... and then I realize maybe my life ain't so bad after all. :)
According to Wikipedia, ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilators) can reach 90% efficiency via "modern low-cost gas-phase heat exchanger technology".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery_ventilation

I think another part of this is that there is generally a significant moisture content difference between hot and cool air, leading to some additional gains versus thinking in terms of air temperature alone.
In this scenario the team of 50 still needs to sort out what the one person is going to ask for at the stakeholder meeting and that probably requires additional communication within that team of 50, so even though it's contained within that team it contributed to the overall glaciosity of the company when it comes to getting things done.
One thing that would be interesting to see is how a complex webpage performs without the limitations CSS places to allow fast styling computation. E.g. in regards to this article there is no explicit "if" in CSS because allowing generic comparisons instead of specific ones related to elements and parent/children elements would break core assumptions styling engines get to use to handle CSS at lightning speed. At the same time I wonder if having all these limitations is part of why auto-generated sites have ridiculous amounts of elements, attributes, and styling to parse in the first place.
User errors different from errors developer gets/has access to.

'console' implies all errors independent of who error message is for (OS, developer, administrator, end user of app/product).

End user messages typically set up within awk language program(s) by developer.

Id argue any violence used to create a sensation of fear in order to coerce specific behavior. When the system itself is also a source of coercion I guess violence against the system can be justified if you're reacting to a threat to your personal liberties.

But all in all, i think that it cuts deeper, there is definitely a mix of political opinion on hackernews, but i havent seen any significant examples of a facist militia member or black block antifa rioter.

Those are both extreme ends of the american political dichotomy, but i dont think either are an embodiment of their respective ideas because they dont allow those ideas to flourish on their own.

They're idealogically bankrupt so they MUST turn to violence.

I dont see them as liberal or conservative but as nihilists (possibly even unknowingly) with no real association outside of an easy larp.
I live part-time on an island with no doctor and no way to the mainland besides an unreliable ferry. Most people on the island have a helicopter insurance plan for emergencies.
I live in a large apartment (3 adults, 2 children to 1700 square feet). Recently I bought a good CO2 meter (Aranet4) and I really discovered how much you have to ventilate to keep CO2 levels under 1000ppm.

I sort of knew this for a long time and that's why I, for example, always sleep by an open window. But knowing it is one and actually seeing a completely different thing.

So this caused me to start thinking about installing one or more of these boxes in my apartment.
> Also, people do not get rich from incomes, as a general rule.

People who cannot save money that they can invest into their own endeavors or others, very rarely get rich.

Of course it depends on what you mean by "rich." Most of forbes 500 does not get there through income. However, the large majority of self-made people in the 1M-10M networth range did it with initially earned income, which became saved income, and then invested that savings (either in themselves as an entrepreneur, or just in the public markets).
I do wonder how you guard against the threat of you walking down the street staring at your phone and having someone snatch it out of your hand while it's still unlocked. A saavy thief could then disable the auto-sleep and as long as it doesn't run out of battery they could leave your phone plugged in and hence will never require the passcode again. A few apps (at least on iOS) give you the option to require your passcode again to access them (e.g. if you lock a note), but for the most part an unlocked phone is a treasure trove of personal information for the thief.
Just when you think you have The Best Way of handling errors in Go figured out, they add yet another paradigm.

Is a shared err type package on the way out? I use it to bubble up HTTP status codes consistently, is there a better way? Should you always use sentinel errors?
>Most people who are building their own computer are not going to be an expert in UEFI and secure boot (some may have never even heard of these things). These people are almost guaranteed to need to install their own OS. So if they try, and it "doesn't work", they are going to need tech support or most likely return the motherboard as defective. Thus it makes more sense to make the default permissive.

Not only that, a popular tool for creating windows USB installers[1] fails to boot if secureboot is enabled. I looked into it a few years ago and it was because it defaults to NTFS formatting if install.wim is greater than 4GB (because of FAT32 limitations), which is most windows ISOs. Most UEFI implementations don't support NTFS, so it installs a shim loader, which is unsigned and therefore fails to boot with secureboot enabled.

Parents who subscribe to Plato’s view can choose that. There are many roads to Rome/Athens. I’m not here to dictate choices that are other parents’ to make.
It literally is though. The link "Learn more about Parental Controls" takes you here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304 which walks you through doing all the setup.
Watching the linked video made me realise how out of step I feel with the rat race now that I work from home 100%. No more stressful commutes, no more suit and ties. I might step into a giant shopping centre once every 3 months, if that. I don’t see adverts anywhere except on my phone when I’m scrolling.

I think I’m lucky because I get to live in a very walkable suburb in Melbourne AU. Feels less like a race, and more like a stroll. Instead of quitting and moving to the mountains, maybe just move to a place that’s a bit more liveable and work a job that’s a bit more flexible.
They have opinions. One is nature rules. The other is the city sucks.

I think their opinion of that the city sucks is wrong, full stop, and that a change in attitude would see all the great things a city provides that nature does not so that then you can appreciate both.

To me, enjoying the good parts of both the city and nature is a better POV than shitting one one of them.
For photos, don't mount it as mass storage, use PTP.
You're absolutely correct in what you enjoy on a camping adventure is a different world than if you lived as full time mountain man. That being said, just because you move into the mountains doesn't make technology disappear. You don't need to live like the pioneers. Solar panels, windmills, generators, satellite internet, SOS beacons, filtration systems, pumps, heat exchangers, motor vehicles (pressing home made veggie oil and running diesel motors off that is not impossible) are all technologies to make it fairly comparable to city life.

With an investment into some technologies, you could live fairly nice. Dropping everything with no investment and just living off the land is a fairytale dream.
Yet tons of families make it work in the mid-west where the costs are not what you state them them to be.
I watched all of the series you mentioned and enjoyed all of them thoroughly. In fact, they are all in my top favorites for the platforms.

I really appreciate that they had the decency to give Sense8 some kind of ending, but honestly I also understood why it was cancelled, it was extremely ambitious and expensive and at the time Netflix was just dipping their toes into originals. But at this point in the game it seems ridiculous to me for them to cancel something like 1899 because it's not the massive hit they expected, and I really mean massive hit because sure enough the show was quite popular looking at the numbers.

I've cancelled my Netflix subscription, of course, because the platform is just not giving me the quality I had come to expect. I was devastated when they cancelled The OA, specially given that it's a show that deals with emotional alienation; it really resonated with me. But oh well. Business is business, it just seems like personally I'm not very well aligned with the market.
> little chili equivalent to the ones used in Thai food

Birds-eye chillies, you mean?
Do not embark on such a project if you have some chronic conditions. Start in a good shape. Generally keep a healthy lifestyle: no heavy drinking, no junk food dinners, enough motion, etc. Stay away from high-risk pastimes like snowboarding, motorcycle racing, etc. Wash your hands and do other trivial things to keep infections reasonably away, especially when far from thickets of civilization.

Things like that. Do what you can not to get badly sick or injured, because medical bills can quickly burn through your savings.
>NaN breaks x==x which is a pretty fundamental relationship for numbers to have

NaN is not a number, so it should NOT satisfy "fundamental relationships for numbers to have".

>+-Inf sound useful in theory, but in practice they rarely give you a more useful resu

There are algorithms that are more performant using infs, and without having a way to denote overflow, you'd have to pre-check evedry operation to do serious numerical work, which basically cuts your performance in half.

>Once you've gotten rid of -Inf, it becomes clear that -0.0 is a mistake

>It breaks the identity 0+x==x and 0-x==-x.

No, you have some fundamental misunderstanding. IEEE explicitly guarantees these hold, even for -0.

> Furthermore, IEEE specifies sqrt(-0.0)==-0.0 and log(-0.0)==-Inf which are both nonsensical if you consider -0.0 as a limit from the negatives.

You're making up strawmen. -0 is not a "limit from the negatives" any more than +0 is a limit form the positives, which would break other made up requirements. That is why making up stuff that has zero bearing on what IEEE 754 specifies is arguing strawmen.

>Floats also have the unfortunate property that inv(x) can be infinite for finite x.

Integers have the same property: -(X) can not be the negative of X. So this is not a problem except in made up goofiness.

Every objection you post is a lack of understanding numerical analysis and the needs of actual scientific software.

So you're skeptical- do you write numerical software professionally? I do, and have, and will do it in the future. There are very, very good reasons for all of those pieces you don't see the need for.

There's a reason unums have not caught on with the field of numerical software or numerical analysis - they simply don't allow writing robust, performant software, they solve no real issues, and add significant problems.
The only constant is change. Especially with Go, apparently. It's hard to evaluate the comparison of Golang of today to the one I originally discovered 11 years ago in 2012.

Then, it was a breath of fresh air. Nowadays.. I find myself sighing. It works but the joy has faded.

Bit rot is life.
Bluntly, every person I know who's expressed these kinds of sentiments is guilty of the same mistake: externalizing their happiness.

They inevitably move, only to find the new place they're in sucks, just in different ways.

Or they find another job, but just discover more things they hate there.

Or they find a new partner, only to discover a new set of annoyances.

The same psychology leads people to think they'll be happy if they finally get that new car, or that new house, or that new TV.

All of it comes from the same place: assuming that happiness is something you can find by simply changing your circumstances.

Now, don't get me wrong, there are absolutely good reasons to want to change those circumstances! But it's critical to understand that oftentimes there is no one change of circumstances, one decision, one thing that will result in happiness.

I know it's a cliche, but I think I'm old enough now to confidently say that, yes: Happiness really does start from within.
He did call it crap or did you miss it?

In so many words he said cities suck, nature rocks.

Vs me, who said both nature and cities rock, and that the attitude that one sucks is a poor attitude
I think you found the culprit. Syntax highlighters are notoriously slow.

You have every right to have high expectations for performance with Vim
> a professor of philosophy at Northern Michigan University, read what he said was easily “the best paper in the class.” It explored the morality of burqa bans with clean paragraphs, fitting examples and rigorous arguments.

A red flag instantly went up.

What a sad state of affairs that a red flag went up because it was a great essay. If it had been a red flag went up because it stood out from the student's prior work, that would be less unfortunate. But this framing doesn't indicate that at all.
Exercise Helps Blunt Effects of Covid-19, Study Suggests
A lot of people defend this behaviour because a lot of the Fediverse (especially pre-Elon) were there because they were harassed on other platforms, and so discoverability is a negative feature. I don't see how that justifies the amount of vitriol thrown at the author, but that's where a lot of the culture has come from. Some people see any kind of project like this as an attack on their safety, which doesn't activate the part of your brain that's good at reasonable discourse.
So, it's great the author has recognized they are unhappy, but "heading to the mountains because I had good experiences there" seems like terrible decision making.

The "happiness trifecta" still seems to be a sense of purpose, autonomy, and expertise. Money just helps remove stressors.

I'd like to see more stories of people working to open a path in a system where it didn't exist before. Like, "how I carved out a new position at this huge company that gave be a better sense of why I do what I do". Everyone tends to think they need to go to a small place to have a big impact, but I think you can bend the world wherever you are a bit if you know how to define the targets, and get there slowly, one day at a time.

Big career changes are sometimes worth it, though I wouldn't follow this guy's lead. I found this experience from a woodworker who left architecture much more interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQoqGPnRLbU
I told friends and family to wait for season 3 before watching 1899 and to start with Dark. I canceled my Netflix sub after they canceled 1899 and won't return to anything but torrents for Netflix content.
imo a good balance is having the ability to float in between those two worlds. Frequent trips into nature and time amongst modern comforts to recharge and rest.
> Yeah given the numbers of shows being produced, as long as 3-4 new ones per year are worth watching what more do you really need? There's tons of back libraries of good shows and HBO and Apple TV is still making high quality stuff.

True that, but much of it isn't anything I'm interested in. 95% of it (to me) is crap - good ol Sturgeon's Law is certainly in effect.

So it leaves like maybe 1-2 shows per streaming service. Lets just say that math doesn't work out. And some networks show 1 episode a week, like the old analog days. Again, not watching until they're complete. And when they're complete, there's a great site that hosts ($name-$group-S##-complete). No subscriptions, no DRM, no anti-customer garbage.

> The only losers are those looking to binge watch new stuff every week... AFAIK those people were previously the audience for garbage prime time network shows on FOX/NBC/etc that no one even remembers the names of 5yrs later.

What I also do is look abroad to other tv shows that aren't as easily acquired in the USA. There's also a lot of gems that we just don't come across. You have more than a few really good European shows (some ENG, other subtitled). And the K-shows have some good fansubbers, as do CN and JP shows. And then there's anime. That's a whole different thing, given a lot now has been licensed.

But lest to say, we're picky. If we're going to spend time, we want something good. And well, the sole dealer that did this (Netflix) now has 1/15 the original selection. That tells me that I had to step up.

And on completely different note, you can get a 20 core/128G ram/ (6TBx8) 48TB storage dell for $830 on ebay. And it's surprisingly quiet after bootup.
'Duck taping this gerbil of a program'[1] may be an error message a maintainer might understand, but is utterly useless for an end user.

For a lot of Rust projects they just don't. Unlike a lot of stuff from the 1990s or so, the Rust core itself doesn't care about localization. It speaks Unicode fluently, but it doesn't try to think about locale problems at all.

For projects that are user facing and so need to do localization, you do have a few options, including both gettext and ICU at opposite ends of the scale of "How difficult is your problem/ how much work do you want to do?"

Gettext is just going to let you substitute translations like "X {1} Y {2}" in one language versus "YorX: {2}or{1}" in another language, whereas ICU understands how to render the Japanese form of today's date and which is the correct plural form for 38 of this thing in Russian (but it's still on you to prepare all the plural variants for each type of thing you want to quantify, ICU just tells you which of them to use)
Much like solar panels on the roof (which I have also heard Americans describe as an eyesore), once they are common enough your eyes just slide over them and you don’t notice.
I have gotten lucky in a small but not insubstantial way, a couple of times.

I still make less than most HNers, but it’s decent for where I am.

I don’t know what the exit plan is. It never seems like you have enough. I’ve even looked at minimum retirement savings needed and I should be good for my current lifestyle, but I don’t feel like the numbers are right or I keep coming up with excuses. There is a lot of anxiety around this.
