No, you misunderstood me. Passkeys remove the incentive to attack auth infrastructure in the first place, because a database of WebAuthn credentials isn’t useful to criminals compared to a database full of password hashes. This isn’t about the handful of tech-savvy users who know how to protect their privacy anyway, but all the others which constantly reuse their insecure passwords and won’t use password managers.
I think we knew from the get-go that spreadsheets would be used for pretty much anything to do with numbers. That there aren't any new applications past that understates their general applicability.

I agree though, chatGPT isn't a real flying car. Imagine if someone revolutionized the paper clip. The day-to-day of millions would be forever and irrevocably changed; and almost nothing would happen.
The US military is no stranger to the metric system, it's the standard.
It's sitting staring at a screen... all day, every day.

Like you, I know for a fact I'm not lazy. Not at all. I love working and dive into it enthusiastically. This is a consistent and effortless experience of mine, throughout my life. It's natural and rewarding to work hard.

What makes me seem lazy a lot of the time is that most jobs are just a few types of activity, focusing on just one or two major ends at a time, repeated over and fucking over for 40 hours week after week. Programming's fun, but it's not 40-hours-a-week-every-week-for-all-the-best-hours-of-5/7-days fun. Not one year after another after another. I fucking dread it and, sure, I slack off. Because it's literally an in-human thing to ask of people.

But, economics. So, we optimize. And here we are. Hooray.

[EDIT] Like, truly, most things I do specifically for pleasure stop being enjoyable well before the 40-hours-a-week mark. A particular kind of work might be outright fun, maybe even for 40 hours in a week, hell, maybe for 80 hours in a week, but by the second or third 40-hour week it's probably gonna be something I would much rather stop doing in favor of something else—even other work, ideally as different from what I've been doing as possible (been programming three weeks straight, need a break; got any firewood that needs splitting or square bales that need gathering?).
That sounds interesting; the weakness of the examples provided with Argdown is that they come to a conclusion, but they don't indicate why that conclusion was chosen over the other option, and it's not clear that the conclusions actually address everything.
I think the first point is probably the most differentiating characteristic. Startups are typically about innovating, doing something differently from what's expected or the norm. Typically, but not always, this leads to disruption in the domain if the startup is successful. But it should always be about innovating or attempting something different in its domain, otherwise it's just another business.
You’re conveniently ignoring a couple thousand years where China bullied its neighbors relentlessly.
This could be a SkiaSharp limitation. This thread made me interested in Skia and I started looking around their site and did a quick search for "tagged PDF" on their Milestone Release Notes.

If they understand the same thing with tagged PDF as what is being discussed in this thread, that page says that "Add new APIs to add attributes to document structure node when creating a tagged PDF.", which could be a milestone as old as of 2020 [0]

> blows my mind that a screwdriver is all it takes to bypass the lock and ignition of a car made in 2016. c’mon, is that really the best we can do?

It’s not. Ignition interlocks have been very common for at least 20 years. But there’s apparently a lot of money to be made cutting a few corners and under pricing competition by a couple hundred dollars.
Whoops - yup, I jumped the gun there.
From Paul's perspective in 2008, this makes sense. And generally, this is sound advice.

However, in the 2010s, we saw an explosion in tech business opportunities and cheap capital during strong economic times. Most of today's unicorns are from this era.
If the 15% didn't matter, the optimization wouldn't have been made.
I left school in spring 2008.
Setting aside how to search and what to pick, a thing I didn't understand at the time was how to think about the offer I received:

- on the one hand, I was in no position to negotiate the offers I received

- on the other hand, the modest (commensurate with my lack of experience) equity component in my compensation package was calculated based on current (low) prices. It didn't seem important at the time, but when the market picked back up, this seemed really fortunate.

- I joined a team of people who, having seen their unvested equity take recent hit, were less than exuberant in their outlook about the near term. I did not realize: their problems were not my problems.

If you do land a job at a company which can survive and even grow, now could be an great time to start your career.
Seems there is some level of wisdom here. Of course you can't see inside a man's head by doing this, but some things are gonna be obvious. Besides, when it comes to judging, only God can see the heart - the rest of us mortals have to rely on what is exposed to us.
Well, exactly.

Some of the replies I get are childish and ridiculous. The US control land almost up to the Chinese coast bit China is the bully for finally being able to assert a few claims in the South China Sea... how far can hypocrisy go

As for the neighbours' input, we'll ask Mexico, Cuba, and South America...
>Why? Because of layoffs? Thats not a reason to unionize. Maybe what we should be doing is asking our CEOs, GMs, product people, etc why we need to go on these hiring sprees in the first place, which seem to put the entire employee base in jeopardy when "times get tough.

Yeah, for the most part, asking those questions is a great way to get fired in many, many companies, especially if you ask those questions in a forum or format that makes leadership look bad. I am not sure where I stand on unions for tech workers (I grew up in a union mining town where the union saved lives by driving safety measures, but also got fined by the union on the first day of my first job for refilling an ink tray because the shop steward thought I needed a lesson), but at the end of the day, unions provide a method for engaging with the business to negotiate and ask these questions without fear of arbitrary retaliation.
> Use impl types as arguments rather than generic constraints when you can

Eep. No. At least, not in anything public. Universal impl trait arguments can't be turbofished, so you're placing an unnecessary constraint on your caller.
And who should that be? Certainly not Russia, they're getting their asses handed to them in Ukraine and won't be a threat for decades to come - Germany post 1945 had an immense amount of industry and other production to help us getting back on our feet rather quickly, but Russia doesn't have anything beyond exporting oil and gas.

And not China either, because no matter how unexperienced the US Army is, the Chinese have virtually no experience other than trading shots and fist fights on the Indian border or acting like a school bully in their neighborhood - and most Chinese stuff is based on old Soviet shit (whose "quality" is currently being shown in Ukraine) or stolen Western tech.

In current state Nvidia has no competition, and you buy AMD only because you hate Nvidia, not because it's better. I had tons of AMD cards my first being ATI 9000 but if you want to do more than game the hassle is not worth it. My last AMD was Radeon VII, once I got a bit serious into Blender there's just no comparison, even with enterprise drivers the crashes, random issues and slowness comparatively is just not worth it. What took me 3 minutes to render on Radeon VII takes 10s on 3090 Ti, StableDiffusion renders take 5-6s without any hassle playing with rocm, gaming is also no comparison with RTX (I don't even use DLSS). Fun fact I sold my RVII after 3 years and added $500 for a new 3090 Ti. Nvidia sux for their business practices but technically they dominate because they invested in software really early on and established themselves with Cuda, OptiX, RTX, DLSS. Older AMD cards are nice for hackintosh if you're into that though, Apple dropped Nvidia hard. Also the Linux driver blob thing if you want to be a purist, but IIRC it's supposedly changing (sorry don't have a source right now).
We are actively iterating on our data cleaning to deanonymize any user information. Of course some cases are tricky to find, but we recognize these issues are serious and will continue to work here. All of our training data is public, so we know that we won't ever produce private user info.

That world does sound nice, but will it work if the same applies to every doctor, farmer, and construction worker? Everything you want provided while your burnt out is because someone else is getting up at 7am everyday for decades.
> Sure, you were able to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". On the other side of the equation, the company paying you a pittance used your capitulation to drive down wages elsewhere, including in its home country.

Well, that's exactly the point.

The hypocrisy is to pretend it is concern about exploiting poor people while actually it's about protecting own high wages.

Show me any non-corporate sponsored language that is not a toy, and is seeing serious traction. (hint - I enjoy Nim, but it's not a valid answer).

Unlike the original post implies - most of the languages in his list are corporate sponsored...

D was created at Digital Mars

Open Pascal is... an open implementation of pascal, which was created by IFIP, but most variants are dead and Borland poured a fuck load of money into turbo pascal. So both gov + corporate sponsors

Nim... is arguably not corporate sponsored, but it comes right out of open Pascal (which was) and it has trivial use at large (I still enjoy the language - I'm not about to suggest we use it at work).

Same as Zig - which is probably the closest to being a true open project in the list (IMO) but which still builds heavily on c++ tooling. (Honestly - I'm most excited about Zig, it's nice and is very close to self-hosting)

Steel bank comes right out of Carnegie Mellon (and if you don't think colleges are corporations... boy I've got news for you)

Vale... well I actually don't really know anything about this. Honestly one of the first time's I've seen it referenced at all, I'll have to look it up some time.

---

So again - WTF is the author talking about?

If he just wants a free compiler (Free as in free, not as in beer) they exist for basically any large language out there.

If he wants to control language direction and goals... well - he's welcome to write his own language but otherwise I find no compelling difference between a guiding committee/creators on what he considers a "good" language, and the company making decisions for "corporate controlled" languages. If anything - at least I can usually predict what the corporate controlled languages will do, even if it's not always what I'd like...
Summary:

Four main kinds of videos on the edX platform (2014):

- Recorded classroom lecture

- Instructor's talking head

- Khan-style digital tablet drawing (popularized by Khan Academy)

- PowerPoint slideshow

Main findings and corresponding recommendations:

1. Shorter videos are much more engaging. Engagement drops sharply after 6 minutes

2. Videos that intersperse an instructor’s talking head with PowerPoint slides are more engaging than showing only slides

3. Videos produced with a more personal feel could be more engaging than high-fidelity studio recordings

4. Khan-style tablet drawing tutorials are more engaging than PowerPoint slides or code screencasts

5. Even high-quality prerecorded classroom lectures are not as engaging when chopped up into short segments for a MOOC

6. Videos where instructors speak fairly fast and with high enthusiasm are more engaging

7. Students engage differently with lecture and tutorial videos
Yeah, that seems legally and morally dubious.

But the police have demonstrated on many many many occasions that they generally cannot be bothered to return stolen items to their owners or even, given the location of a stolen item to reclaim it from the thief.
Because that's what most programmers achieve too.

You can iterate from there by taking advantage of the last 50 years of software engineering wisdom.

As CSS is a declarative non-turing-complete (in any practical sense) language without any specification for performance details, it’s a job of a CSS engine to care about performance of CSS written in this or that way. Blaming developers for not being aware, bothered or disciplined enough to Use It Properly is antitethical to its design and nature.
That’s the point: there are no other competent enemies, either in the sense of funding, or in terms of wartime experience. No one else even comes close. It’s possible that China will get there someday, but that’s likely decades and multiple conflicts away.
I seem to recall Apple owns part of the company that manufactures the glass. It would be kind of dumb to not use it everywhere and anywhere at that point.
As I mentioned on the podcast, I love that board so much I want to be buried with it! In terms of the silk, I (naturally?) especially love "Yes Bryan, I know these are out of order" on the SMBus headers on the bottom right of the board -- not least because even though I don't think Cliff could have known it at the time, I have spent a LOT of time plugging things into those headers, and have probably endured its peculiar ordering more than anyone else!
Do you know what also contributes to hardware failure? Thermal cycles, because over time they stress the solder joints.

If a component has been powered on and running continuously under load within it's rated temperature band, it'll have fewer heat cycles. This seems preferable to a second-hand card from a gamer which gets run at random loads and powered down a lot.

Out of genuine curiosity, what are some areas you think could be improved do you have any examples of people / teams working toward improving them?
Exactly it doesn’t make sense. They are someone’s property and in my experience police follow a defined process and which would not include giving the car owner the records. Perhaps the author is omitting a crucial detail to make the story more mysterious?
Nice deduction with limited utility.

Someone who feels alienated from others is most probably not in a place where they can just explain who they are to other people, even if they have perfect self-understanding.
> It was, however, not a good programming environment if you needed to do anything complex

I liked that they had an escape hatch, though. If you wanted to do complicated things and had the skill to do so, you could write an XCMD or XFCN in C or Pascal and which could be called from your Hypercard stack. Not a perfect system, but useful and extensible.
And it's important to do what you did: talk to someone about it that can do something about it. I have a friend who'll complain to me, not to the people he works with & for. He's too shy for that and rationalizes it as "they wouldn't understand/wouldn't want to change anything/couldn't even change" and suffers while the people who define the processes he suffers from don't know.
What, Isn't Dbt?
I think you might have conflated a few things:

No VC is telling companies to just to wastefully hire people they don't need. That wastes money and creates friction and bigger problems inside of a company.

They do tell you to hire aggressively, and you often present them with a model that shows _how_ you will use the money you raise, and sometimes you hire too many people on accident. But no VC is pounding their fists on the table telling founders to explicitly go hire people that aren't needed. That's directly against the interest of both the founder and the investor.
I use all my applications in full screen mode usually, so resizing just for a single tab or moving Wikipedia into its own window would be annoying too.

It never ceases to amaze me how many interesting things I read about Ancient Greece from posts like this in HN, from what I was taught in school (most probably I didn’t pay attention).
(author) I'm also curious about this, which is part of why I was hesitant to accept them at first. Many of them have price tags on them and look like they have changed hands several times, which makes me believe they are indeed stolen. My best guess is that the reason they gave them to me is because they don't know who the original owner is, and being in LA there are many, many potential candidates.
The issue of the Chagos Islands was the subject of an International Court of Justice advisory opinion which concluded that 'the United Kingdom’s continued administration of the Chagos Archipelago “constitutes a wrongful act entailing the international responsibility of that State”, that the United Kingdom “has an obligation to bring to an end its administration of the Chagos Archipelago as rapidly as possible, and that all Member States must co-operate with the United Nations to complete the decolonization of Mauritius' [0].

That was a Big Lebowski joke - Los Angeles, stolen car, missing music.

Good luck with your collection, though I hope that somehow those records can be reunited with their rightful owner.

Maybe someone wrote something on a sleeve or left some price stickers on some of them, etc. that can be used to identify it from all the other potential claimants that just want to get the music from you for free.
This pandemic a few hundreds of thousands have died in the USA alone because a few, very few people decided to pander anti scientific views. Which found a very fertile ground thanks to the relentless work of conservative pundits in the last few decades destroying the credibility of media. Check Charlie Stykes' How the Right Lost Its Mind -- and note he blames himself as well, rightfully so.

The next pandemic when these articles will be written by these AI will be a lot worse. You can write a thousand very scientific sounding papers in seconds.

Even right now to appease these morons the world has largely dropped masking mandates and that kills and disables people. There is no scientific reason not to mask and every reason to do it but it's politically not expedient. Check https://jessicawildfire.substack.com/p/heres-150-sources-on-...

So the danger is the death of millions in the next pandemic. And that's just what immediately comes to mind as the biggest, most concrete danger.

Other dangers include the almost immediate obliteration of independent artists -- there's a lawsuit now, good but it won't be able to do much, even a few hundred millions in damages is just cost of doing business to these folks. So many possibilities... https://mobile.twitter.com/Dereklowe/status/1599035870308618...

If you are training a model that requires this much memory, it will also require a lot of compute, so it would be too slow and not cost-effective. It may be useful for inference.
If some percentage of panicky people have good coping mechanisms, but averaged over all panicky people, having a good coping mechanism is still less likely than for non-panicky people, then it's still efficient to filter out all the panicky people. Probabilities matter and it's better if you pick from a group that is more likely rather than one which is less likely, even if you miss some good people in the less likely group.
A while back I did some study of materials for making solar sails and sunshades, both PET and Kapton. These are both used to make high-performance films but they are very different chemically, the first thing that sticks out to me is that PET is made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and Kapton also contains oxygen.

I see a lot of Kapton in electronic devices, but I do see people are selling PET film for lithium batteries:
