Can you setup your iCloud using that gmail address but with a different number or placement of dots?

sev.erian@gmail and severian@gmail are the same to gmail but many places treat them as different. (I don’t know what iCloud does.)

> Requiring a macro is no better than what C does.

I disagree in the strongest, most emphatic way possible.

As a user of programming languages the difference between printing in C and printing in Rust is night and day. Whether that is achieved with a powerful macro system or with the core language does not matter to me in the slightest. It carries zero weight.

Writing code that prints variables in C is painful and bad. Writing code that prints variables in Rust is easy and good. If you'd like to say that "easy and good" is the same as "painful and bad" then I disagree.

When std::format ships the gap between C++ and Rust will shrink dramatically. However Rust will still have an advantage with derive macros. C++'s lack of reflection continues to be a major pain point. Maybe in C++29.

I don't think you can fully separate "language" from "macros". If something can be implemented easily in a macro then there is less reason to bake it into a new feature in the language. I don't think it's a good idea to add language features solely so you can say it's a language feature and not a macro feature. YMMV.
Imagine you have two very long tubes joined thermally throughout their entire lengths. For the sake of simplicity, no energy is exchanged with the environment, only between the two fluids.

The cold fluid will meet (thermally, in adjacent pipe) more and more hot other fluid and finally as it reaches the end it will meet the hot fluid at exactly the temperature it comes in. If the fluids are flowing slow enough and the thermal bond is good enough, the cold fluid can get heated up as close to the hot fluid temperature as you want.

And the hot fluid will meet colder and colder other fluid until it reaches the coldest at the other side.

The efficiency of heat exchanger could be as close to 100% as you want, in ideal world.

In real world higher efficiency requires larger device and there is a point of diminishing returns. You also get other losses like mechanical losses due to need to pump fluids through pipes (with large surface area), due to need to have turbulent flow (to ensure mixing within pipes) and due to heat loss to the environment.

That goes both ways my friend. Open source maintainers have a right to dismiss substance-free complaints without needing to prove P = NP.

Complaining about potholes is a great analogy. Repeatedly bringing up the pothole problem at the local swing dancing meetup isn't going to solve anything. You need to actually send your complaints to the transportation office. If they've heard about a particular pothole before then you don't need to bring it up again and keep sending them the same complaints. They already know about it. When they can't fix everything in time then the problem is either bad planning or lack of budget, and louder complaining definitely won't do anything about that.

As a late 20s, recently laid off, I'm wondering why you think it would be disastrous for your career? I'm not necessarily disagreeing, I've been in a very similar headspace before, but now that it's actually happened - without my choice - it feels a lot less bad than I expected.

Maybe I'm in denial, but I'm not super worried about getting another job right now. I'm enjoying the time off and reevaluating my priorities. There's even a work-related benefit: the extra time / lack of stress has allowed me to read up on tools etc that I haven't been using (although lately I've been tuning out of career stuff entirely).
Flexibility interacts poorly with composability. When everything is specialised at the whim of the developer, tying different pieces together is difficult. A lot of the rigidity in programming languages is there because it gives programmers (and programs) common ground to work from.

Flexibility usually interacts poorly with performance as well. Specialisation to a domain is usually faster and can be dramatically faster, but the plumbing that makes the specialisation possible has a cost everywhere.

I'm curious whether lisp's macros are sufficient to splice together dissimilar code and provide the domain specific optimisations one would want to eliminate the plumbing overhead. I would expect not but it'll be interesting to be proven wrong.

It's interesting that you're starting with the user interface instead of the sufficiently smart compiler. "I'll rebuild the world in lisp" projects sometimes (usually?) stall in the first stage of writing their compiler. I think it's quite encouraging that you're building on an existing language implementation.

That would be a lot to build in five years. Good luck and happy hacking.
There was a Russian group that made a stop at Cumberland Mall in suburban Atlanta. On that particular day, there was a shooting in the food court, so they got much more of the American experience than they expected. No one in their group was harmed but I'm sure it made an impression.
In the summer, my heat pump water heater in the basement is essentially 'free' to run, since most of the heat it captures is by condensing water in the air i.e. dehumidifying my basement. I still need a dehumidifier, but it doesn't have to run as hard.

We had one of these installed in the last couple of years and love it. We wanted to keep our CO2 lower, without leaving windows open and introducing dust/whatnot. Works well quantitatively and qualitatively.

FYI the "industry term" for these is an ERV or Energy Recovery Ventilator. (I think I've seen them referred to as Enthalpy Recovery Ventilator -- but I assume that fell out of favor since it's too pedantic for most people heh.)

If you get one, one tip is to ensure the air inlet is covered with a fine mesh screen. This cut the number in bugs in the filter 95%+. Also you can upgrade the filter from what's included to MERV13 or whatnot for better incoming air filtration.
As someone who has a farm an hour from anywhere, I can attest it’s … interesting and dangerous.

Imagine breaking a leg on a massive property, no roads to where you are, no cell service. What do you do? If you want to live, you crawl. If you’re strong enough, have enough will, and are lucky — you make it. Else, the coyotes eat you. Hell they might eat you anyway.

Addendum: just last week I was surrounded by the local pack of wild dogs. They were hungry and I saw one circle behind me. I drew my sidearm and yelled and they ran off. The point being, I had no help. None. If they were hungry enough, it would be me or them.

Is there any communities such as slack or discord channels specifically focused on browser extensions development? It seems hard to find.
I had a similar thing happen with an Australian insurance company sending me contract details for some woman who had her car and home insurance with them. I don't know if she added the wrong email by mistake or their IT fucked up connecting data from a third party service (I've never been in Australia, and have never made business with the insurance company), but it was hard work getting them to fix it.

Their support did nothing. Their privacy department did nothing. What finally set things into motion was complaining to their regulatory authority. Wouldn't you know it, within two days, I had a personal email saying they'd remove my email from the account, and they haven't emailed me since.
Mastodon has a special culture as it got established as a response to and in the shadows of the social media dinosaurs. Reacting to big tech violations of privacy, manipulation by algorithmics etc, all these things are bundled together as an expression of evil together with an almost complete rejection and suspicion of any commercial motive whatsoever.

But as these decentralized and open source approaches (hopefully) flourish and the web gets rediscovered things will start differentiating and making a bit more sense. In particular communities that want to stay private will switch to other tech - there are more than enough options.

Things may get derailed again, in novel and unexpected ways once the fediverse gets mainstream, just like it happened with the web in the first instance.

Yet this is not a reason not to try - a bit wiser this time around.
I suspect the issue is simply that there really isn't a driving force behind making "everything" metric anymore.

The original impetus in the 1970s was that it was costing a lot of money to maintain multiple systems in manufacturing.

CAD systems and automation make a lot of the issues moot. Everybody mostly converged to metric and let the CAD system put things in English for where you touch the legacy systems. CNC machines don't care whether you feed them metric or imperial units.

So, we're left with "imperial" in the US in things like highway signage, consumer recipes (businesses needing recipes already run by weight for consistency so the switchover isn't that relevant--scales easily do both), and housing construction. Note that there is expense in updating these to metric with no particular advantage accruing from doing so.

I note that one of the areas I never thought would become metric, consumer groceries, seems to be starting to change. Once this occurs, I suspect cookbooks will also start to change.
Not disagreeing. But someone once said it differently and it clicked for me: the wild is out to utilize you. We build cities in part to invert that status quo.

> It’s far better for my wife and I to do our best to raise successful children (for whatever definitions of success we choose) than to leave them to fend for themselves.

That's a bit questionable, because overbearing or helicopter parents can do a lot of damage to a kid. ;-) Anyway, it seems like a bit of a false dichotomy too, because Plato argued in the Republic that children should be raised communally rather than by individual parents.
Not rewriting, but starting anew. And usually you start (relatively) small. I see fewer and fewer reasons to start a new C++ project, except when the project makes heavy use of existing C++ code base anyway as large C++ libraries.
> I’m not surprised apple’s engineers simply didn’t conceive of this situation occurring.

Why should we cut slack to a multi-billion dollar company, do they have no staff that can check basic assumptions?

Should we apply the same logic if they forget poor people exisy and their ML labels them as dirt? Or that black people exist?
Think like a herder, you have 10,000 cows = feed/milk/clean = time and $$, now you have a game with 10,000 virtual cows and each cow costs $2-3/year to pasture. So you want to sell one a year = sale price of $30K to break even.
Ask the cowherd about the next cow = also $30K.
To change this you have to change the basis of the game. What if it cost $500 for each virtual cow/year for virtual vet fees. So hos 10,000 cows now cost $500 each. I know we speak of cows, but we have now tossed a cat among his chickens = a huge ruckus will occur. His former model is broken, with annual vet bills for his 10,000 coes of $500 each = $5 million a year in vet fees.
So this is the squatter game, it has been made dirt cheap to lock up domains for small annual fees. The way to change it is to make domains 'eat'
Same thing in houses as rates went up, people who bought for 5% down with 1.5% corporate $$ and now stuck with 5-6% money = their morgtages are eating them alive.

Will changes occure? I hope so. The current squatterverse rewards the worst of people.

Chinchilla suggests that most models now are undertrained. It's been the lore that model size was the bottleneck but we've since passed that and now training data is the limiting factor.
That's not straight from the horse's mouth, you left off the attribution (emphasis added):

> In Yeltsin’s own autobiography, he wrote about the experience at Randall’s, which shattered his view of communism, according to pundits.

From that paragraph it sounds like "pundits" are the ones saying it shattered his view of communism, not the autobiography itself.

(Edit: to be fair, that sentence is a really awkward attribution sandwich, so I can see how it might have confused.)
> "I'm quitting! But I'm not telling you anything about how I plan to pay for life."

I quit the rat race in my late 30's. I saved and lived a frugal life while earning a great FAANG salary during a time of economic growth. I used my savings to buy income producing rental properties and aggressively payoff mortgages. I now do woodworking most days and love it. The pay is low, but at least the hours are long.

I used to work on some of the most popular applications in the world. I would see my work in keynotes and read about my work here on HN, but none of that compared to making an urn for my cousin when my uncle passed away. Or selling a few items at a winter market at my kid's elementary school.
I disagree. Everyone that I know who has even the slightest interest in video games has heard about Stadia. They can't market their way out of the public perception around Google's long term commitments, nor can they change the laws of physics to eliminate input lag, nor can their marketing change the perception that paying full sticker price for games only accessible through their walled garden streaming service was a terrible deal.

They likely would have gained more popularity had they promised to refund all purchases in case the project shut down in less than a decade - in a legally binding way. This would have given customers a lot of confidence to invest time and money into their platform.

Additionally, they could have pulled in a portion of the existing PC gaming market if they allowed users to bring their own games. Having a service that would allow you to play your existing library while you're traveling or over at a friend's house would be enticing to many.

I wouldn't call this a marketing failure, however.
Do you have examples of other "rebuild the world in lisp" projects? I'd be curious to see how and why historical attempts have foundered
Someone could make a complaint with the registry if they see no changes after a period of time that's reasonable? I think it could be automated for many cases such as when domain squatters aren't even pointing their domains anywhere.
Remember that there are a range of options between highly-paid cog and financially-independent early retiree: jobs that pay less or jobs with higher uncertainty that care more fulfilling than the huge corporate machine. You could potentially find a better situation without quitting altogether.
Booleans are weird though. A single bit on a system that mostly talks about bytes and bigger? How are you supposed to represent that?
I think my comment may have been confusing. The "Soviet experience" was well understood in 1989 (see the clip of the 1984 movie I posted). Only weeks away from Yeltsin's jaunt to the supermarket was the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a true harbinger of the demise of the USSR. Had Yeltsin visited a dreary American DMV, rather than a bountiful supermarket, nothing would have changed.
Japan have guidance but no regulation, so perhaps they don't need to have 'to share' pack.
The same is true in London. You travel forty minutes away from where this guy works to rural areas (i.e. still in the "affluent" South-East of the UK), you will meet young people who have no qualifications, they can't leave their parent's house because property is too expensive, they live somewhere with no job market beyond working in a pub, no entertainment, there usually isn't even a supermarket...think about people living in Tower Hamlets, this is in the City, highest GDP per capita area in Europe, now imagine you earn £9/hour...how do you have kids when a 1-bed flat costs £1.2m? You aren't "racing" for anything, you are getting run over. You only get to quit the rat race once you have won, not because you have discovered some alternate way of living.

99% of people in the UK would take years of their life for the opportunity (even in other cities in the UK). Not for happiness, for the fast cars, nothing like that...to eat, to not worry, to have children, to live somewhere safe. Again, being in the race is a privilege, most people aren't racing, there is no sport...they are getting run over.
Hi,

This is very cool, thanks for porting.
Google was routinely referred to as "one-trick pony" already by the end of 00s due to the obvious fact that 95% of its revenues were from search ads.

IMO the difference is that many people perceived it as a benign deal - someone would take money from the advertisers and use it to actually make a better product for the users. It took a while for enough people to realize that this very reliance on ads means that "better product" from Google's perspective is not necessarily better for the users.

Although by 2013, I'd say that even that was not an uncommon sentiment, especially since Google started doing stuff like this around then: https://commerce.googleblog.com/2012/05/building-better-shop...

That is cute, but not logical. Let me offer a third option: people don't do it, despite the fact that it is easy.

I might say, if you have normal body control, it is very easy to make your bed every day. Your logic applied to that same statement might be, "given that roughly half of people don't make their bed every day, either half the population doesn't have normal body control, or your claim is wrong"

There are many things that are very easy to do, without any caveats at all, that most people don't do.

Yes, that's my point. Yeltsin's view may have been shattered, but the USSR was soon to be toast, either way.
Add fees, real users will pay those fees.
Well at least Brandon Sanderson is really transparent with his progress and seems to be capable of writing consistently, he doesn't seem to be the kind of "i'm waiting for inspiration to come" author. So if you get into The Stormlight Archive you know a new book is coming every 3-4 years; and that's a good pace, imo. The books are lengthy.

But other than that, I completely agree with you. Anyone that has read The Kingkiller Chronicle will. Or The Song of Ice and Fire. In any case, I haven't ever really regretted reading a good book or watching a good series even if the ending is not out. So of course it's a shame for something to get cancelled or never released but they can't take away the good time you had with it in the first place.
Try seeing how fulfilled you are making the least money you’ve ever made! Maybe very fulfilled, maybe not at all.

If you don’t like what you are doing, do something else. I don’t know if it’s worth trying to project your personal dissatisfaction into some broad diagnosis of social ills. Many of the alternatives to the rat race are pretty dismal.
I won't use Reddit because of its hostile atmosphere.

Shouldn't this be an non-issue in any sane setup (ie. secureboot + TPM + FDE)? If the TPM is doing its job, it should be measuring the signature of the bootloader, so whether it's signed or not is irrelevant. Even if you could get stuff to boot, it wouldn't do you any good because you can't access the decryption keys. On the off chance that you're using secureboot without TPM + FDE, you'd be screwed anyways, because a bad guy could easily disable secureboot inside bios settings, or use shim loader to bypass it.
You catalogued a bunch of big, wrong, assumptions about my life and circumstances, and about my disposition towards them. You went on to acknowledge that it’s possible you’re projecting. Which would be reasonable, even kind and a welcome amount of self-awareness relative to some others’ reactions, except…

I confirmed that yes, you’d been projecting, and yes your assumptions were wrong. And your reaction to that is to double down, strongly. So we’re back at my individual relationship, as one human, with my one pup, has anything at all to do with society, and that my affection is somehow an indictment thereof.

Look, I regret sharing that affection here and its reaction has lived rent free in my head for more time than I’d prefer to admit. But I’m also not going to pretend that total strangers translating I love my pup to anything about society is anything less than totally absurd, particularly anything negative.

And look, I’m prone to missing social cues, so when I saw the first reply I sincerely wondered if there was something implicit in my comment or these reactions that wasn’t connecting for me. But having read your and other explanations, I don’t think it’s me.

Anyway, hell is other people so I’m going to try my best to put this discussion out of mind, confident that my relationship with my pup and with my friends and family who don’t shrug when told they’re being cruel is much healthier than … whatever the hell this has been.
