Yeah it has to be warm, no one is willing to share problems with a stranger be it life or business. At my company, even our inbound leads, where our reps have a good sense of what is wrong, they aren't so forth coming, we teach reps to build rapport and lead with questions to help distill the issue as quickly as possible. This is particularly prevalent in some cultures, some find it super hard to admit they are facing challenges or seem embarrassed to let us know their existing ways of working. They are also often unable to articulate the root of the problem, sharing only symptoms so to speak.
Show HN: Thunder Client CLI – New way to test APIs in VSCode
Hi - I am creator of Thunder Client CLI, which helps you to test APIs from Terminal.

Key Features

- Simple & Easy to Use CLI tool

- Seamless Integration with Thunder Client Extension

- Run Requests/Collections and View Test results

- Syntax Highlighting and VSCode Themes

- Open Request/Collection UI from the terminal

- Enhances CURL commands

- CI/CD Integration
You have to escape the things before they reach the database engine. Prepared statements do this via ? Placeholders but they are hard to read. With this you get named placeholders, much nicer to read.
Here’s a little known social media secret for telegram

who cares? you may as well stop using the internet at all, if that is your argument.

people who look for this stuff will find it. avoiding telegram is not going to help. nor is using telegram making it any easier. you don't accidentally run into that.
I agree a lot, but RVVM implements an API to register new instructions at runtime, so I wanted to leave the core sources as much understandable and macro-free. Plus I don't see how other switch-based approaches in QEMU, or near-mentioned mini-rv32ima are better, so there is no really any ground I could compare upon.
I guess about 1K lines for a hugely-performant, readable and extendable interpreter, which itself does calls into a tracing JIT is a fine trade-off to change it at this point)

There's also the whole world of free software. Any kid or school that can afford an old PC and an internet connection can install Linux for free and use all the free software that runs on it. We live in a golden age of cheap computers and free software.
Revisiting Warren Buffett’s Advice to Me in 2008 ＆ 7 Lessons for Young Investors
I tried something similar with terminal copilot yesterday. The approach works for bash calls, why not for web calls?
And besides the current people themselves changing, there are also many other ways in which incentives can change: new people get into the mix (investors, board members, c-level), people leave etc. I recently formulated it like this:
As long as an experience of something that I want to have in my life can be influenced by a single entity I have to hope the incentives of that entity do not change drastically.
In my mind, I associate Caldera with that Linux distribution that was pretty OK, but nothing to write home about.
This is pretty interesting, I've noticed I find it easier to recall information if I've written it down by hand instead of typing it on a computer. I wonder if it's a similar mechanism to what Neil and Neal find with writing - it means the thing you want to express spends longer in the brain's buffer and this leads to several benefits at the cost of it being slower.

Probably goes without saying I might be talking out of my arse here but it's interesting to think about.
Reading and writing monitors make sense. But I'd definitely not put a monitor just for calender/time. It sounds like a recipe to increase my anxiety leve.
I guess because it's a lecture about time management (I haven't listened to it)? But still...
Was I not clear enough that I was talking about the single transcript? I really don't know how to be clearer.

You're now demonstrating inconsistency between conversations. Great. But your earlier claim was that it directly contradicted itself inside that specific conversation. I don't think it did.

(And no, a new conversation where it directly contradicts itself inside the same conversation won't change my mind, because I already know it can do that. I was just saying it didn't in your original example.)
Aren't both versions freely available? Seems strange to call something censorship when nothing has been censored.
It should be noted that the Dahl estate is not his descendants, or lawyers that get paid to preserve his vision. It's Netflix, who bought the entire thing.
I don’t mind the typing ergonomy. More that it is visually ugly and counter-intuitive. Because in every other language a backslash would mean you want to keep the braces instead of interpolating the variable inside. They even have a comparison table at the top of the document, where they didn’t dare to put the Java option next to the others because it would stand out as being too different. Why not just follow the established conventions?
> Exceptions have implied control flow which makes them strictly worse than the Result types which are, as their name suggests, just types.

There’s nothing wrong with implied control flow.

> All of Java's user defined types insisted on living on the heap. Just want to make a pair of integers? Sorry, that's an Object now and so it lives on the heap, whereas just one integer is fine, those are just local stack variables.

That’s not how Java works. The runtime is free to store things wherever it likes, with whatever representation it likes. It needs to follow the semantics of the standard, but whatever gets executed is what the JIT felt like emitting.

This is exactly what happened. I never though much about the imagery, it was a 5-min commit to "make README look nicer", and I actually have asthma as well (Never been much around smokers so maybe I don't have such terrible associations). So it's much more of a, heh let's honor this random person request since I don't care much in the first place, and even if it's a little weird to trigger at the icon, I can kind of see why.
I think you have it backwards. Shopping evolved from the practical limitations of physical shelves, to the more convenient non-physical, searchable, browsable online store categories. There is no demand for "virtual shelves" among shoppers.
Which resources helped you the most while getting into coding the non-CS way?
Before the debate erupts that CS is not all about programming, let me be clear, that I am not saying so.

There are many freshmen who code for the first time in their CS101 course. That is what I am talking about when I say the CS way of getting into coding.

There are many other ways. Some freshmen has extensive coding experience before joining a CS bachelor's program. Some get into coding later on life when the need arise e.g: they have to analyse a dataset for some experiment they are doing. From there they start their deep dive into fundamental CS principles if they love it.

If you are someone who started coding in a non-CS way, then which resources helped you the most apart from the text editor and the terminal. Books, courses, projects?
Yes and no. It would create some... unfortunate incentives.

Take Harry Potter, for example, or Star Wars. End copyright at death of creator might give people some ideas on how to deal with ideas of canon.

Or take JK Rowling right when HP started to be popular. Who'd profit if she died then? Probably the publishers that are already having the books set, printing and deals with bookstore chains already signed. I don't think "sudden death" should be something that ever enters a business strategy meeting.

Or just natural death at that moment would leave her family just as poor, quite obviously contrary to her wishes.

It’s about investors hiding the consequences that are not visible to founders and/or whoever does not have access to these reports. Should all founders be capable of these reports? Yeah! I bet most non-founder employees could even write them too (and in fact do in most cases).
There's nothing inherently special about the type of growth that tends to be focused on currently - it just happens to be what we've already got mechanisms in place to measure and requires relatively minimal effort to maintain. If a democratically elected government can, with the advice of appropriate experts, develop better metrics for measuring growth and determining its long term viability, how is that a bad thing?
Is it? A mac mini with m2 pro, decent ram, decent storage is $2000+. You can buy quite a few Watt hours for that.

Ask HN: why does Apple always have better animations?
I have always wanted to keep using android for technical backend reasons.
But I just find myself “captured” by the smoothness of the animations and transitions on iPhone, and I always come back. And this hyped assessment is on a fully updated iPhone 7 ,usually with motion effects turned off.

I know I could be deluded by marketing but it just seems to me something about the UI and transitions make the phone signinifcantly more appealing and addictive to my impulsive lizard brain.

And I wonder whether this factor is underrated in making sense of its dominance.
Ecosystem and branding is the obvious likely most important factors, but I think some overlook how appealing the interface is, not just plainly visual, but the response the animation flow gives.

Does anyone have a plausible hypothesis for how they do this? Have I been hijacked by marketing? Does anyone else find apple default apps are just always more smooth? I really want to use obsidian and standard notes,,, but apple notes always seems to be a couple milliseconds faster or smoother, I just don’t know.

> Why do you think you need to achieve 4 or 5? Or even 3?

Because if you do a solid good job that's a 2, but a couple 2s fairly quickly gets you on the RIF train to getting fired. Which is nuts. So everyone has to outcompete their team trying to get those 3s. And the manager is put in the nasty position of having to rotate the 2s (which they must hand out since there's always quotas) among the team so that hopefully nobody gets RIFd while still meeting the quotas.

(Assuming a 5 point scale here, which is fairly common, but I've seen other scales but the same principles apply.)

My partner was a manager at the G of faang for many years and twice a year the whole month was blocked off for 60-80 hour weeks just to fill endless review paperwork. And their employees spend all of the six months between reviews scheming ways to fill that next round of paperwork. It's all a monumental waste of time, effort and cause of unnecessary stress for everyone.

None of this nonsense exists in other industries, at least as far as I know from talking about it with my circle of connections in other professions such as law, medicine, accounting.
That’s nature right? The actual researchers see none of it afaik

Great article! I think I knew most of it already but I’ve never seen all of it covered so succinctly and easy to understand!

I think in the case of Nix it is especially important to have a good grasp of the fundamentals so that you can verify your (possibly wrong) assumptions when troubleshooting a build failure, evaluation failure or when using the higher level constructs of nixpkgs.
The original SCO wasn't particularly cool either, I worked for a competing company that got called in to help them when they couldn't get get the 286 MMU to work, the deal was that we would get a copy of the resulting code, we got it working but in the end got zilch
>Doesn't make any sense, this would be like an audio engineer getting rid of their studio monitors and mixing on AirPods because that's what people listen on.

Skrillex, an EDM producer who became popular about a decade ago, did approximately this. They were iPod headphones back then, not AirPods. Perhaps designing according to the vast majority of users is effective enough?

Companies that can reach a happy equilibrium?

Consider the following: Valve software is a tiny company in comparison to any other company out there, yet they make steady revenue. Do you think Valve could be in a better spot if instead they spent all of their money on rapidly growing their business?

The fact that Valve is a private company and not completely beholden to the endless growth that companies prioritize means it can do things other companies cannot.

Ask HN: Minimal ActivityPub Server?
I want to join the fediverse by opening a small postbox of my own that I can use to interact with other instances (Mastodon, Gnusocial, etc.) on my own terms.

I have a domain I can use, an RPi4 I already use to host my website, I now wish to host a small activity pub...

... how do I do this? I was expecting that simply searching on github or gitlab would yield ready to deploy lightweight projects, given how small and simple the whole protocol is. Instead I've found docker scripts to run full webstacks.

If IPFS (infinitely more complicated protocol) has a pure JS implementation that can be run entirely in a browser addon, how does a relatively small protocol like Activity Pub not have tiny implementations too?

Well, that is some nonsense that is ridiculous to have been left out of No Surprises Act. Although, at least in this case, it still seems the state government says the loophole is not valid.

I used mostly macOS for the last few years, with the occasional Linux. Recently I switched back to Linux (System76 laptop) completely, and only now do I realise how complacent I've been with macOS.

There's stuff like iTunes opening every time I connected BT headphones, and regular attempts to nag me into using Safari. Then there's a boat load of issues I found workarounds for: The window manager with its fullscreen mode and lack of tiling (Spectacle makes that bearable), the unique modifier keys that don't work well out of the box with readline shortcuts in the terminal and such, the often still manual process of installing and updating apps (maybe I could have used Brew or MacPorts more heavily), the inability to debug and fix any OS problems, and a literal hundred small things I can't even remember from the top of my head.

These things are all individually so small that I didn't event think about it, but when I realised the sheer quantity, I felt like I was in a codependent relationship with my main tool. Apple doesn't seem to care even remotely about users like me, and that's perfectly within their rights. The logical thing for me was to use something else.
What is the circumference of the universe?
There's evidence that when you're studying something, taking notes by hand promotes long term retention of information better than typing them out. That is a case where the act of writing itself influences the thought process, and the use of one writing instrument or another influences it differently. It's wholly reasonable to believe that the choice of writing instrument may influence the thought process in other ways, too, and Stephenson has struck upon the instrument that works best for him.

Edit: the other salient concept which comes to mind is Marshall McLuhan's idea that "the medium is the message." McLuhan definitely believed that if you go and say something over broadcast media vs e.g. printed matter, what you say comes out very differently. Both the content and interpretation are influenced by the medium. He would probably agree there is a difference between typing and handwriting, too.

Edit2: there's at least one study which has found that handwriting engages more of the brain than typing does: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/new-study-suggests-handwriting...
Unison does this. Every function is identified by a hash of its content, so if the content changes, so does its hash. You can have multiple versions of the same function in the same project without any trouble, because there is never any ambiguity.
You're saying Joe Biden or Trump or Kamala Harris should have the ultimate authority over growth? Those are the people you trust to cap human potential?
Young people are hyper-focused on status, so I expect it to be a status function. You can show that your parents have a certain amount of disposable income by owning an iphone, just like you can by owning brand clothes and shoes, a brand schoolbag, brand softdrinks and candy bars etc etc.
Interesting, but this is avery specific condition (on top of every one is individual) vs a generalizing advice "you need at least two monitors" because for our work, it's true."

And not wanting to tell you it is wrong if this works great for you, but tbh I wouldn't see the necessity in this setup for multiple monitors, by your first post had assumed a very different kind of work ;)

I think people are pretty good at changing an existing system that is running. Which happens to be the context of almost all professional work.

Of course if you don't focus at all on the "first principles" operational stuff, when the existing system breaks, your debugging will take a long time. But that doesn't discount that loads of people are able to get a lot of work done without having a great grasp on the incidental complexity that comes with trying to get a virtual environment up or command line things.

My sister, back in school, had a ridiculous attachment to backpacks and hair straightener of a specific brand.

She managed to get my parents to buy a hair straightener but the color was not the same as her friends and she started to cry. Because of the color of the hair straightener.

It's an emotional decision that had nothing to do with technical capabilities. It's being virtue signaling and a tribal human in its finest form.

Kids bully each other to establish a hierarchy. It happens to both boys and girls. I once dated a very tall girl who told me she was being bullied for her height, but in return she bullied back her friends for being short.
