I'm not sure what "this context" refers to. The site (typenetwork) is probably more "design" than "computer science". The HN user base includes a lot of people from computer science backgrounds but not exclusively so, nor does the majority of the articles featured on here (remember that "tech" does not mean "computer science"). HN itself is an outlet of a venture capital startup accelerator. I'd say the expectation for HN users would be to at least be "tech-adjacent" but computer science is neither a necessary nor sufficient part of that and the topics in submissions far exceed direct professional interests (or even "hacking" in any sense of the word, despite what the guidelines suggest).

An article about research that could mean the end of Type 1 diabetes would hardly be out of place here, though I agree that assuming that "Type 1" without qualifiers automatically refers to diabetes is not a safe bet here, if anywhere.
I have been denied production access for no reason for a project that only sends mundane password reminders and email verifications. I decided not to fight the Goliath, never filled another request but complained on my personal facebook instead. (And went for Mailchimp).

In about a couple of hours since my fb post I have received an email from AWS telling me that my production access has been granted with limits 10x of what I have requested.
Let everyone see the most non-existent moat in the history of tech waves.
I'm submitting this article because I thought it was somewhat objectively written and an interesting subject to consider. My impression (from far away) of some of the meditation gurus is also that they look like they are kinda addicted to their new "hobby". Also, it's rarely healthy if your income depends on you strongly believing in something (anything, really).

"Britton theorized that the effects of mindfulness might follow an inverted U-shaped curve, where at some point therapeutic returns not only diminish but mindfulness could have negative side effects"
> No mention of insanely fast NVMe on M1?

It's only insanely fast compared to previous Macs. The commonly found Samsung 970Pro SSDs were doing read/write speeds up to 3,500/2,700 MB/s since 2018. And newer SSDs run circles around those speeds (like 10GB/s or more of read/write).

also suboptimal in my opinion. thinkpads are fantastic linux machines. i'm running Mint xfce on my 480 and really wouldn't know what could be better about the experience.

When my last employer went through a technical bankruptcy and had to fire some people, I volunteered because it would enable me to start my own business. I've been doing pretty well since then. Not 30k/month, but good enough.
The poor are not necessarily the most affected by inflation, and can be among the least affected. Being poor means having around no dollar-denominated wealth, and usually less than zero.
I also am a Fedora Gnome user for the same reasons, with the same result. It is by far the most solid, JustWorks Linux experience. I also think that modern Gnome is actually a really good DE.

Yes, but the law is the reason why the training is what it is. The police don't make the law, so police shootings are not a policing problem. Policing = enforcement of the law.

How does this look as a representation for do-notation?
Hi HN, I recently came up with using for loops for representing do-notation.
I was curious if it's readable for others as well.
Thank you!

Thanks for the lead!
Commute time is huge as well. I went to a University that had double to triple the amount of undergrads to parking spots. The student's time was a total afterthought.

An 8am class would be showing up at 6-7 to find parking and get to the classroom. Disgusting, I never took courses that required regular attendance there for that reason.

There's so many compounding variables that emerge from Universities total neglect of prioritizing learning. I don't think its as simple as early=bad.

Interesting!

For my own servers I use an internal tool that integrates apps with systemd. You point it at the output of your build system and a config file, and it produces a deb that contains systemd unit files and which registers/starts the server on install/reboot/upgrade, as a regular debian package would. Then it uploads it to the server via sftp and installs it using apt, so dependencies are resolved. As part of the build process it can download and bundle language runtimes (I use it with a JVM), it scans native binaries to find packages that the app should depend on, and you can define your config including package metadata like dependencies and systemd units using the HOCON language [1].

Upshot is you can go from native binaries/Gradle/Maven to a running server with a few lines of config. Oh and it can build debs from any OS, so you can push from macOS and Windows too. If your server needs to depend on e.g. Postgres, you just add that dependency in your config and it'll be up and running after the push.

It also has features to turn on DynamicUser and other sandboxing features. I think I'll experiment with socket activation next, and then bundled BorgBackup.

Net/net it's pretty nice. I haven't tried with containers because many language ecosystems don't seem to really need them for many use cases. If your build tool knows how to download your language runtime and bundle it sans container by just setting up paths correctly, then going without means you can rely on your Linux distribution to keep things up to date with security patches in the background, it means networking works as you'd expect (no accidentally opened firewall ports!) and so on. SystemD knows how to configure resource isolation/cgroups and kernel sandboxing, so if you need those you can just write that into your build config and it's done. Or not, as you wish.

With a deployment tool to automate builds/pushes, systemd to supervise processes and a big beefy dedicated machine to let you scale up, I wonder how much value the container part is really still providing if you don't need the full functionality of Kubernetes.

The thing that annoys me the most about M1 Macbooks is the lack of gaming ability. Even a basic windows laptop can play games like DOTA, Age of empires etc and so did the older macbooks. With M1, almost none of my games work.
Actually it’s the same as “removing support for XBM because nobody uses it anymore”.

Would you not make completely out of scale comparisons just to be contrarian on HN? Please?
Because it's not insanely fast? The 256GB is pretty slow (why is that even an option though?) the higher capacity ones have are considerably worse compared higher-end WD or Samsung2 SSDs and you can get a 1-3TB one for around $100-$300...
I think buying Apple (or similar big brands) just for the hardware is shortsighted, as you're still voting with your wallet.
Elementary.

Assume 20 productive hours per week (human cpu time) out of a total 40 work week hours (wall time, 9am to 5pm, 5 days a week). Productivity ratio 50%.

Assume 20 productive hours per week (human cpu time) out of a total 32 work week hours (wall time, 9am to 5pm, 4 days a week). Productivity ratio 62.5%.

Simply divide your productivity ratios by each other for a ~20%-25% improvement.

I wonder, if we tack on just an extra 20 productive minutes per day for a total of..

21 productive hours per week (human cpu time) of a further reduced work week of 24 hours (wall time, 9am to 5pm, 3 days a week). Productivity ratio 83.3%.

An additional massive 33% boost over the draconian slavery schedule of the current four-day status quo!

I think I may be on to something.

Further productivity increases are left as an exercise to the reader. Hint: there is a totally logical and clear path to a productivity ratio of 137.5%!
Is there an API for these things?

It could be a good way of easily and automatically letting all those that rely on their services let their own customers know there is an issue.
I've owned an upgraded T480 since they were released, run archlinux on it. It was a decent computer, but despite having upgraded the battery to the largest possible configuration and using all the tricks in the book to maximize battery life in linux - it sucked. The reality is these Intel processors are just a big inefficient hot mess.

I ended up upgrading to the 14" M1 Max, and there is literally no way you can make a comparison of these two machines, they are worlds apart, build quality, screen quality, weight, battery life, single core & parallel processing, speakers, trackpad - everything.

The only thing the TP wins is bang-for-buck on the second hand market, and getting head turns from neckbeards, thats about it.
In the article I mention that I upgraded to a 1920x1080 screen, and Pop!_OS...

This is, no question, absolutely terrible but the comments section on the post is a little wild:

"Asking for references after clearing interview was also Dik move tbh" (sic)

Is this a straight troll? Because if it's not, stop and think that through, will you?

I have no idea how many people have listed me as a referee over the years - quite a few (and enough that I know plenty of companies don't check references) - but if every referee is asked to provide a reference for everyone who has listed them for every job for which they pass CV/resume sift (or even some stage part was through the selection process), well, that's a lot of references.

Now, of course, you could write one reference for each individual and send that out to everyone who asks, but lots of companies have forms you have to fill out and they're not all the same. And you'd be doing this for a lot of jobs your applicant either wouldn't get or wouldn't take because they have competing offers on the table or are going through a process with multiple organisations.

So you know what the result would be? Referees won't give references.

This isn't a "dick move" (ah, sorry, I mean a "Dik move") by the hiring company but a sensible strategy to avoid wasting referees' time.
Teachers generally have duties that extend beyond the classroom. There is no reason that they couldn't do this before class instead of after. If they want to, of course - some of them would probably just have a later day. This "rigid 8am system" is part of the problem and it affects everyone. It certainly isn't the only problem: A lot of professors wind up having to have second jobs. We could pay more - and have slightly more flexible scheduling - and take care of some of the issues.

And realistically, it isn't like they are proposing offering more evening classes. Most proposals for later start times are advocating starting 1-2 hours later, not "lets all work second shift".

> That means all of those hypothetical companies are worth 40% less, but it still costs about the same to build them.

I don't follow. The gains are realized when the company is acquired or goes public. If bond yields are 0%, the VC invests $9 and gets $10 after 10 years, the returns are $1. If bond yields are 5%, the VC returns are still $1. If they had instead invested in bonds, their return would have been $0.45. Even if bonds yield better returns, that doesn't change the VC's returns.
I worked for a Chinese tech giant in India. I just realised that all the female Chinese engineers I interacted with were SDETs. While the skew existed in India, it wasn't as pronounced.
What makes you think the Thinkpad in the linked article is still under warranty?
Google has been effectively attempting this for years. Many searches produce immediate results parsed out of web pages. It works okay-ish.
The M1 chips are astonishingly quick, and extremely power efficient. You get something that outperforms all but the most powerful desktops for development tasks like "compile the whole of an embedded Linux distro", and will happily do that for 12 hours on the battery.

The only Apple hardware I've owned was a mac mini for the exact same use case as you, but the M1 laptops might change that if I can run Linux. I did not enjoy Mac OS when using it on the Mini!
Mainstream or mainline? I would think mainstream kernel is Debian 's or Ubuntu's, while mainline is kernel.org's :)
aside the hardware, when I changed from macbook (2019) to thinkpad, the biggest advantage and source of happiness is to never need to touche Finder again!

This is replacing an old M1 Air, with an old T480 and upgrading bits.

As a cost efficient way of getting a good computer this is a reasonably good reminder that other options exist and old ThinkPads were produced in unreasonable numbers and can be obtained easily on eBay (businesses selling off their old stock).

For me, I've a work 3y refresh cycle coming up and a dilemma - an M2 Mac vs a ThinkPad X1. I just don't like MacOSX at all, and I do love Linux, and once in a blue moon because I'm a Director I need to delve into large Excel sheets that even an M2 struggles over but Excel on Windows does great at. I find myself seriously considering Windows 11 Pro on an X1 with WSLv2 for my Linux daily driver (it's not like I'm doing eBPF work and need a specific kernel capability). And this dilemma feels, weird. Because all I see is everyone with Macs. Still, the ThinkPad is likely to win - I have another 6 weeks to decide.
I rest my case. The bigotry is not even held back here on HN. Your answers are no different from CCP supporters who say almost similar stuff.

The lenovo also has NVMe.

I use different machines, one with a regular sata ssd, 2 with NVMes and my work environment is on an NVMe enclosed in an usb3 to nvme box that I use on any of these 3 laptops.

Honestly outside of a benchmark the difference is only really noticeable on the nvme + usb3 enclosure when it can freeze the whole desktop for a few seconds when doing a large copy. Difference between sata ssd and nvme exist but only if you are timing your jobs completions, not really on regular day to day use. Difference is definitely much smaller than the spinning to solid state. I guess this is pretty much the same between the m1 NVMe and a regular PC NVMe.
I understand your sentiments about comments but as someone who have been on the receiving end there are two fights that I don't want to deal with;

1. SPAM. They will find a way to do it. Not even automated, employed cheap labor just spamming blog comments.

2. The extreme hatred and scorn from people who spew venom from behind their anonymous screen names.

Not just me as a person but my family had been threatened (on my blog comments). Not worth the effort, I have done away with the thousands of comments my blog had collected since 2001. A lot of them were nostalgic, sweet, and many a friends, colleagues, co-founders, and girlfriends were the result of comments on my blog but now -- NOT worth my time.
> Cancer or heart disease in your 50s does not impact your reproductive fitness, for instance. Way to attach a strawman

But there are plenty of cancers that can and do occur in ones reproductive years, that start without pain.

> The sun isn't computing a temperature, it's computing a nuclear fusion reaction.

I wasn’t comparing the program to the sun. I was comparing it to the human skin.

> Also, "feeling" isn't a quality of individual particles to the best of our knowledge, but it is a quality of some aggregate of particles we call a human.

Hmmm, now you are referring to particles and aggregates. Wonder what the source of that claim is. At least you agree computation (a process) is not the important thing, but particles (matter).

> So if your question is whether a faithful simulation of a human would feel the heat from a faithful simulation of the sun, then yes, that's very plausible.

Wow, now you're making a circular argument. Whats a “faithful” simulation of a human? How would we know it is “faithful”? What form would that even take?

Let’s say ChatGPT becomes “sufficiently” advanced, and is hooked up to a sensor that records the temperature of the sun. Would it feel the heat? The whole idea is preposterous.
After some testing, the port really only seems to be open on the tailnet, luckily.
You can't sustain high government debt and high interest at the same time. "Federal government current expenditures: interest payments" are now at 0.9 trillion dollars annually. If inflation increases tax revenue fast enough then ok no big deal but that would still mean the interest rate has to be lower than inflation and if inflation has a downward trend then I would expect the interest rate to follow it with a huge lag.
Then how do you define trans and nonbinary people such as myself?
Sikhs being affluent makes it ok? You do know which other group is often singled out for this right?

"Everyone's made fun so it's ok" is on the same level as "I'm not racist i hate everyone." It's veiling what people actually think, and thereby not addressing the issue (or even admitting one exists, really)

I suppose it is related to stress. We are more productive when less stressed.

Having extra day to rest, do your hobbies, more time with loved ones ... etc __should__ contribute to less stress.

The extra day is not just about being at work, consider commute and other strings attached to going to work.
As always, Linux is "only" the kernel. I don't know the details but I would guess that there are other bits needed, at the very least an installer so you'll still need Asahi Linux as a distro.

> I am talking about QA and why it tends to attract mostly women in India

Disclaimer: I'm speaking as a Scandinavian with no knowledge of this situation in India. I can only share what we have learned here, as I think it could help explain some of the reason why it ended up this way.

This could be an example of gender inequality. We had the same issue in our countries where the women chose jobs with lower barrier to entry with more dependability and stable work hours. The reason was that they had (and some still do) a lot of responsibilities outside work to take care of their family.

There was also a cultural thing where men didn't feel "manly" enough when they took time off work to take care of the children. The government provides a long maternal/paternal leave, and made an equal part of it reserved to men and women. That quickly changed the culture where it became more acceptable for men to take time off work to raise children.

It turned out that women actually wanted the same careers as men :-) The expectations from society made it hard for them, and when those expectations changed the pattern also changed.

Sure, we still have some types of work that are dominated by women, but it is increasingly their own choice. We are not finished yet, and there is still work to do, but the gap is closing.

From my experience, it seems that female developers in my country go through a different path. Instead of going to a lower entry job, they frequently start as regular developers and often end up as managers and other positions of influence.
I know plenty of those religious people who don't care if people have sex outside of marriage or practice sodomy, wore mismatched textiles and probably offend their god in multiple ways.

You can be religious and not a believer, and the original comment only talk about believers.
By "good kind of discrimination" do you mean affirmative action? Han Chinese is pretty over represented at a lot of tech companies, so I doubt they'd be sought out based on any diversity initiative.
Argument 1: it's NOT intelligence. Not by any meaningful definition, at least.
Or just don't have them off by default and add the days to all employees allowance, but always allow people to book them off if they want.

That way if you have a family and are all off you can spend it together, but if you have nothing to do can use it when it better suits you.
Right? I'm going to make a post saying Google rejected me because they saw I posted on HN and post that here. Apparently if it's on Blind it's the truth...
That is an interesting fact, considering you seldom see type 1 refering to diabetes without the qualifier. I guess medical society is used to naming things and the problems with that. (Even though T1D is really too broad, often used to describe other types of diabetes)
