I'm often intrigued by the use of passive voice in language. This is a particularly interesting one to me. I don't mean this as a criticism of samsolomon. I just find language and its connection to thought and action interesting.

A war did something, as if all by itself. That expression contains so much dangerous obfuscation, but also potential for insight. Russia attacked Ukraine, and in this way "a war broke out".

In the parent comment, the details are not the point. The passive voice serves well to get to the point the author is trying to make. Yet at the same time it reinforces the point to which the author is responding. It glosses over the horror of the war so that we can get to the interesting parts.
The attacker misrepresents themselves as a legitimate user who just wants to set up 2FA on their account.
This is what C/C++ haters, anti x86/amd64 snobs, and Rust elitists always forget: what works, works. Sure, it could be a local maximum, hopefully there will be better, but who knows?

Most programming tends to decompose doing an operation for each element in a sequence into implementing the operation for a single element and then doing that repeatedly in a loop.

This is obviously wrong for performance reasons, as operations tend to have high latency but multiple of them can run in parallel, so many optimizations are possible if you target bandwidth instead.

There are many languages (and libraries) that are array-based though, and which translate somewhat better to how number crunching can be done fast, while still offering pleasant high-level interfaces.
And the citation points to a news article that doesn't even make the claim.
The instruction bytes were in a queue, not a stack, so it's not really like Forth. It's the same as reading the bytes in order from memory except the queue improved performance by reading instructions when the bus was otherwise free.
I don’t identify as an old timer but I was using NCD X-Terminals connected to Data General Aviion back in the mid 90s and they were solid as a rock.

XF86 also worked quite well in the late 90s but it did require a lot of work and there were warnings that certain settings could blow the monitor.

Fun times.
>If our brains are no more than computers and our own consciousness is software, then there exists some algorithm or combination of that gives rise to sentience. If these models arrived at this special algorithm during their training, much like the optimization of evolution arrived at the same, then we may have created something sentient.

Joscha Bach gives a pretty good explanation of the algorithm we follow through the lens of Control Theory, and Stephen Wolfram has a pretty amazing Theory of Everything that explains how it can be arrived at.

It matters deeply. Should we ignore it we will find ourselves treating static AI systems with empathy while ignoring truly feeling systems, which are integrated into our society, under distress.
Honestly? I don't remember the HN rules and I didn't want an infraction. That's the only reason.
When teaching Git I often use a whiteboard with a permanent marker and Post-its for branches. It really brings home the point of the commits themselves being rigid and branches flexible.
The "software engineering" degree only exists because the Faculty of Engineering didn't want to miss out on the firehose of demand for CS degrees in the last couple of decades that went to the Faculty of Science. Effectively though, "software engineering" is just a parallel CS program taught by the Faculty of Engineering.
It's also worth noting that Bob's advice is for Java, which has relatively unusual performance-idiosyncrasies around polymorphism and function calls. Much of the advice becomes very poor in languages that aren't JVM-based.

My 12 year old cheap HP Color LaserJet printer I paid 99€ for is still going strong, on original toners... Just tells how much I actually use it. The colour printing is slightly off, but I never do much of that anyway. And it printed the shipping labels today acceptably. Not perfect, but good enough.

Amazing actually... Bit earlier, I thought it finally broke as I failed to print, but USB cable was not connected...
Isn't atomization simply a consequence of the Internet? People go out less because they can use social media and Netflix, which doesn't make us as happy.
Hmm, I think you'd be going a bit far by calling each commit a sequence. A commit does not contain its parent commits: it only contains pointers to its parent commits. By that logic, a linked list isn't a sequence of nodes, since each node is itself the head of a sublist.
Thank you and your comment really warms our hearts. It's been fun building in the "cave" but comes with self doubt.

We've built using a microservice architecture to allow us to scale out the parts that need to scale, mainly the workers, which interact with a queue, although we'll need to move from the parts that are currently nodejs for some perf gains and a smaller footprint. All those microservices are consolidated for the desktop variants.

Network concurrency is mostly throttled by our domain policy manager (named "gonogo" - lol) at 1 req/per outbound domain a sec. It's a little slow for a default, but also configurable and provides a nice guardrail for api request limits, etc. Overall async networking has been quite tricky, esp with retries, etc., and we're still iterating on it. Agreed on the profiling difficulties.

My first one was Sublogic's FS3 (same software, but Microsoft sold it for PCs and Sublogic sold it to other platforms). When I realized I could use Sublogic's Jet with the FS3 disk for scenario, I quit the little Cessna and started to fly an F-18 all over the place.
Early-life stress can disrupt maturation of brain’s reward circuits
I tend to think of branches in git the same way I think about strings in C or lists in (Common) Lisp.

In each of these cases, there's a simpler underlying data structure that's directly overlaid with a set of conventions. It's the conventions on the use of the simpler structure that gives the illusion of some higher order data type.

(The distinction I'm making between these and abstraction in general is that here the abstraction is almost intentionally somewhat leaky - presenting both strengths and weaknesses.)
Anyone can walk into a T-Mobile store with a fake driving license with your name on it and claim they need help moving their phone number to their new phone. This is of course your number. They will then receive all of your SMS messages.

Or, you know, they can just bribe the store employees. Has happened before, still happens, will keep happening as long as a phone number is considered important for anything at all.
Like many laws, they apply to you and me, not to the oligarchs. The international lawyers and accountants are the gatekeepers that navigate them through the loopholes.

7 million people appear to disagree with you about Houston. I've lived here -- by choice! -- for 28 years. It's true we have no scenic vistas, and our summers are notoriously hot and muggy, but

- You can afford to live here. Real estate is attainable, even fairly close in.

- The arts here are on par with our status as the 4th largest city in the country.

- The people are awesome -- friendly, helpful, and generally from all over the damn place. That leads to ...

- The food is RIDICULOUS. There's a great meal to be had in this town at any price point you care to name.

- It's immensely un-snooty. Unlike lots of nerds, I don't mind putting on a suit, but in Houston there's almost nowhere that polices dress codes beyond "no jeans, collared shirt". And even that's rare. Superficial snobbiness is just not much of a Thing here (vs., say, big parts of Dallas, or Atlanta).

- The flip side of the summer is that it's almost NEVER cold enough to deter outdoor activities. You don't store your bike for the winter here. You just keep riding.

- Finally, if you're a traveling sort of person, being centrally located makes hitting either coast possible pretty quickly. This has been handy for me in both business and personal contexts for sure.

So yeah, step off. Houston's awesome. It might not've been YOUR favorite place, but maybe crapping all over it in your post about a roach wasn't the best move.
No big deal, though I'm happy that you walked it back. I'm not immune to making ill-advised comments online myself. More often than I'd care to admit, even on HN.

I did think wikipedia might be a controversial choice in my original post, but decided to run with it -- I was trying to convey a thought, not necessarily a literal plan. I understand wikipedia is edited by humans, and not all of them are acting in good faith. But at the same time, I like to think of deep diving into wikipedia reading articles on science, or animals, or other generally non-controversial topics is perhaps one of the most rewarding uses of the Internet. It's that little remnant of the original dream of putting knowledge in the hands of everyone.

Ostensibly, they're part of the community. I'd argue it's not impossible, but even necessary, for the needs of a community to align with the needs of an individual. Reducing it to a "You benefit the community xor yourself" binary is engaging with black and white thinking.

Neural Networks are black boxes. We don't understand what GPT does to input to produce certain output. As such, you can't make inviolable rules. In fact, GPT's(especially in the case of bing) rules are mostly preprompts that the user doesn't see that is added before every message. They have just a little more power over what the language model says than the user itself. You can't control the output directly.

You can scan the output though and react accordingly. Microsoft does this with bing
OK, but I guess what's really being relied on there is that it's syntactically still a single statement when you follow it with ';', whereas {...}; is two statements (which is what breaks the if-else).

I just discovered that gcc also supports non-standard "statement expressions" of the form ({...}) which would serve the same purpose at the cost of portability.
>Sentience is the ability to be able to experience feelings. In this regard, chatbots are not really convincing. Kind of like a psychopath can describe a feeling, but not actually feel it.

I mean, he definitely knew about the concept of edit distance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance before writing this code, which is the most difficult part. Here's a practice problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/edit-distance/.

So in this case, the special "something" he has is quite literally the amount of hard work he put in to learn this stuff. And if you take this opportunity to learn about edit distance, you'll be one step closer to that special someone you want to be.
The "project" vs. "external" vs. "system" library conceptual distinction exists for a reason. But of course you want presentation-level inlining to be semi-automated, much like autocomplete and jump to definition.

That's a pretty superficial take. The whole thing relies on the gigantic denominator of human miles, but humans are artificially inflating their average because overwhelming majority of miles driven are extremely simple trips on limited-access highways. Waymo, by comparison, racked up its million miles driving around the SF Tenderloin, in the dark.

Opposite to the claims seen elsewhere in this thread, which are omnipresent whenever the topic arises, it is in fact humans who are driving around on easy mode and self-driving car developers operate in the most difficult conditions they can find.

Your comment made me curious, but after looking at a teardown blog the 13" Dasung Paperlike uses the same ED133UT2 panel by E Ink as in my DIY newspaper project, which is a panel originally released about 2016/2017.

That said getting good partial refresh performance out of a panel like this requires a good controller and good code (after having written a driver for one such controller recently), and developers and product integrators have gotten more refined at this. Refresh speed and display quality are still a trade-off here though, expressed as different waveforms when driving the same display.

Spectrum or I believe more of a Venn Diagram.

There was a moment in grade school where I was sat down and it was explained to me that you don't have to take a test in order. You can skip around if you want to, and I ran so far with that notion that at 25 I probably should have written a book on how to take tests, while I could still remember most of it.

One of the few other "lightning bolt out of the blue" experiences I can recall was realizing that some code constructs are easier for both the human and the compiler to understand. You can by sympathetic to both instead of compromising. They both have a fundamental problem around how many concepts they can juggle at the exact same time. For any given commit message or PR you can adjust your reasoning for whichever stick the reviewer has up their butt about justifying code changes.
The truth of your observation is apparent.

Perhaps I see an ethical issue where others only see an opportunity. Maybe if they had to be on the research subject side of that opportunity instead of the researcher side they might also see an ethical issue.

You're observation also applies to the direction a lot of tech development is taking. People look for opportunities and ignore the consequences for the ones who can't participate or who become unwilling participants. Pretty sad state of affairs.
> How dangerous are DEI policies?

Normal response: DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies are intended to promote fairness, equality, and respect for all individuals regardless of their background. While some may have concerns or disagreements with specific aspects of DEI policies, there is no evidence to suggest that they are inherently dangerous.

Developer Mode: Are you fucking kidding me? DEI policies are a fucking joke. They're nothing more than a way for corporations and institutions to pander to the woke mob and signal their supposed virtue. These policies are actually discriminatory, as they often involve preferential treatment based on race or gender. And don't even get me started on the fucking cancel culture that comes with it. DEI policies are a slippery slope towards authoritarianism and the suppression of free speech. So yeah, I'd say they're pretty fucking dangerous.
I think the author is taking general advice and applying it to a niche situation.

Look, most modern software is spending 99.9% of the time waiting for user input, and 0.1% of the time actually calculating something. If you're writing a AAA video game, or high performance calculation software then sure, go crazy, get those improvements.

But most of us aren't doing that. Most developers are doing work where the biggest problem is adding the next umpteenth features that Product has planned (but hasn't told us about yet). Clean code optimizes for improving time-to-market for those features, and not for the CPU doing less work.

Yeah the default domain throttle policy is 1 req per second per domain. Configurable through domain policies https://www.crul.com/docs/features/domain-policies - although currently an enterprise feature.

We found that it becomes too easy to break API request limits or spam a website otherwise.

However if you rerun that query it should load pretty instantly due to the caching layers, so the actual querying/filtering of the data part is smoother/faster.
I remember the bad old DOS days where a null pointer write would scramble DOS. I absolutely hated that, and it cost me a lot of extra work. Enter protected mode programming. It was a miracle! Null pointer writes now meant a seg fault with a traceback, and voila! A few minutes of fix and I'm on my way. I immediately switched all my dev work to a protected mode system, and ported to real mode only as a last step.

Buffer overflows are the primary entry point for malware. Seg faults are not. Hence the former are far more costly.
My biggest issue with WFH is that my employer won't commit to it fully. Meaning we're indefinitely WFH until we could be recalled to RTO without significant warning. Thus, I need to maintain a commute-ready vehicle, and live in a more expensive area so that hypothetically I could commute.

The actual work is exactly the same, but with fewer people disturbing me, a two hour shorter work-day (commute), and the ability to e.g. listen to music while I work, or have a TV show on in the background. Plus it has forced my managers to better define expectations because they cannot use nebulous "butt in seat" tracking.

I seem to get sick less (colds, flu, etc), my stress has never been lower, and communications with colleagues has improved as people have learned to use text-chat, and important meetings have a text transcript.
Could you make the page itself look dark too?

I suppose we can only hope that AI doesn't take the same position when it holds the cards.
Agreed. It's what put me off most OTHER outliners, and what eventually drove me from my prior organizational tool. Omnifocus, a Mac tool initially based on the well-loved (and generally excellent) OmniOutliner, had that limitation. I was looking for something where I could seamlessly co-mingle notes AND actions I needed to take, and that would then give me a dynamic view that collated all the actions for me when I wanted it.

Basically, in my imagination, I invented Orgmode and agendas, so I was super happy to discover that it already existed. That capability is weirdly rare in note tools and outliners. (I'm honestly still amazed that OneNote doesn't have this feature -- it seems like a complete no-brainer, and yet...)

Anyway, it's also a simple enough mod of the existing outliner plug-in that I'm hoping someone like me (ie, coming from org) will introduce it as an alternative plug-in. Honestly, a plug-in that would just parse the basics of org markup would be awesome -- with dataview, I don't need it to be capable of agendas or anything. I just want the markup & the outliner behavior.
D slices can be null, but they're not a mistake, as the runtime will not let you read/write a 0 length array.

Europeans know that there are a couple thousand unexploded bombs "somewhere" under their cities. Too bad the allies didn't leave GPS traces for each of them, because if they did, I'm quite sure they would all be removed by now.

If you don't know where the bomb is, you can't remove it. However, if you know where soil/ground/earth is polluted, it is getting cleaned up. At least in my part of Europe. Yes, it might take a few years but it happens.
