There are (arguably) better ways to handle this, though. When you get enough cards, you won't conceivably review them all within a reasonable enough timespan to encounter concepts often enough to really remember.

The use case you mention is more suited to a personal knowledgebase with good search capabilities and/or networking, like Obsidian, Tana, Roam, org-mode, whatever. That way you have the knowledge somewhere, you can search it (of course, this can be lossy - like writing good cards this requires writing good notes), and you can build up all the context you need.

I think the article misses the mark on the dichotomy here - it's not search vs. flash cards, it's owning your knowledge vs. relying on external, potentially ephemeral sources. Flash cards and spaced repetition are great for certain use cases (Anki is incredibly popular among language learners for a reason), but not for all of them.
With the XDG Basedir Spec you don't have to use ~/.local/share and ~/.config if you don't like them, they are just the defaults after all and you can set the respective environment variables to whatever you want. That is not an option you had before.

Admittedly, it would have been nice if the variables were defined in a way that let you reproduce the traditional dotfiles, e.g. by pasting $XDG_DATA_HOME in front of the app name so you could set XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/. and requiring an explicit trailing slash if you want them to be a directory.

> preventing wealth redistribution, socialism, and the mass-scale violence that those programs have caused in the past

> While you might be more worried about Nazis, Thiel is more worried about things like 1905 and 1917 Russian revolutions, the ensuing Red Terror, and mass starvation/poverty.

That political violence was caused by competing authoritarian regimes, not socialism and wealth redistribution.

If socialism were the cause, the US would have had a violent revolution after WW2, a time of very high wealth redistribution and the implementation of programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Much of the current unrest in the US is caused by the stagnation of workers wages and quality of life in politically relevant places, not the opposite. That's far more like the situation in Germany prior to the rise of the Nazis.

Per the original paper, empirically it’s been found that neural network weights often have low intrinsic rank. It follows, then, that the change in the weights as you train also have low intrinsic rank, which means that you should be able represent them with a lower rank matrix.
> And a lottery is the best way to do it ? Points based systems, merit based systems or even seniority based systems make a lot more sense. How is complete and utter randomness (lottery) the best answer ?

Because you’re building a system in which you have preference over others. While we need high tech workers, it’s unfair to only invite them first.

> You have to find a new job with 2 months or leave the country

You are here on a work visa. While I do think it should be a bit longer, rationally if you got a visa to work for a specific company then your visa should be invalidate at the end of that employment. The visa was granted because the company said they needed a particular skill set and they couldn’t find it in the US. This doesn’t mean once that job has ended that this skill set is still required in the US.

> Spousal work visas can take 6 years from start date in ideal circumstances.

This does sound odd, but is in line with how slow the US gov is in my experience. I remember for my wife's citizenship we were looking at around 6 years for them to simply process the paperwork and perform an interview.

> Greencard queues are now 25-100 years long for certain countries.

This one is very understandable. Given green card applications have been skyrocketing since the 2000s, and only ~1mil are granted per year. Then you have people like me who have priority, who as a citizen request their wives green cards (and ultimately citizenship), which takes another slot away.

Securing the US border is something I'd also like to see done, but that's a highly politicized discussion that's off topic here.

> Going back to school in the US is technically illegal.

Well as a student you are not providing much / any value to the US, at least not yet. I can see why they keep these separate, as on an F1 you are here using our schools and our educators, our research, and could potentially take that back home. Meaning we see no value. An H1B does not give you the permission to use any of that, and again is only because a company could not find the talent within the US. An H1B can be more viewed as the US exploiting you for gain, whereas an F1 can be more viewed as you exploiting the US for gain.

> Can't have any secondary income.

An H1B was granted, again, because that person had a skill that was not able to be found within the US. Many people think H1B visas are granted to anybody and everybody that's smart that wants to live here. If you're a webdev from another country, and we have webdevs sitting on the bench, you should not get an H1B visa and should have any existing one revoked. It is a US first policy.
Note that many of these folks have much less than $1m in savings though most seem to own houses and one probably has decent income from rental properties. So overall--perhaps not surprising given this is the WSJ, these folks are not exactly scraping by off social security even if they're not "wealthy" either.

You can completely turn off dGPUs from software nowadays. In theory the driver should do it for you when it's not in use (And I find this works well for me), but you can also forcefully turn them off, both on Windows and Linux, such that they draw exactly 0W.

Just wrap the core functionality into a 'pure' WASM module which doesn't need to access 'system APIs', and then if needed write two thin wrappers, one for the 'web personality' and one for the 'WASI personality'.

WASI has the advantage that many compilers support it directly, e.g. in Zig:

> cat hello.zig
const print = @import("std").debug.print;
pub fn main() void {
print("Hello World!\n", .{});
}

> zig build-exe hello.zig -target wasm32-wasi
> wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello World!

Or if you prefer C:

> cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello World!\n");
}
> zig cc hello.c -o hello.wasm -target wasm32-wasi
> wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello World!

(I guess Rust can do the same, or for a purely clang-based solution see: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk).

...while for web compatibility, you'll always need some sort of shim solution to talk to the Javascript APIs.

As AI progresses, job options will reduce to various flavors of people who tell AI what to do, or tell other people what to do, or do physical things that machines are bad at. Over time that will reduce to executives, "architects" of various sorts, social media entertainers and manual laborers/direct customer service. The entire "middle" portion of most organizations that exist to connect the people making the high level decisions wit h the boots on the ground is going to disappear.
The problem with Thiel's worldview is that it's not all that accurate. Yes, the Soviet Union was a horrible authoritarian state but the alternative to it isn't any better especially if you're not in the United States or of its preferred/default social classes. The damage done by the USSR and the Russian civil war pale in comparison to the yearly death toll of millions from medical deprivation and starvation even after the Green Revolution (we still have a distribution problem wrt food and medicine). His solutions are basically go back to some form of feudalism but without there being a singular sovereign to keep the nobles of our age in check (i.e. him and other billionaires). The reality is that capitalism has been limping along post Cold War and it's not getting any better, so without there being an outside threat to unify ourselves around, its flaws are seen more keenly and felt more closely than in the past. If Thiel wants to stop the second Bolshevik revolt then he should focus on making wealth distribution through market means viable and support ending monopolies and enclosures of various commons (weaken IP law, reform land rights, and so forth).

$1 million will be a king's ransom compared to Gen X's retirement plans

last time I checked known stats on Gen X retirement savings, the national average was under $100k...Gen X is the first generation that is almost entirely dependent on 401k

for bonus points, Gen Xers in large cities are more likely renters than owners, so they won't even be able to sell a property to prop up the low 401k balance

the Gen X retirement bailout is probably already unavoidable and will be in the trillions

> what's a way of getting fast at reading sheet music?

I can answer because, while I'm a thoroughly mediocre pianist, I'm really fast at sight reading.

First of all, realize that this is a slow process. You won't get quick results. You just have to practice it lots and lots over a long period of time. But if you do, you will eventually get there. It will gradually become second nature.

Another thing is to regularly devote time to practicing the skill of reading specifically. One way to do that is to get a gigantic pile of sheet music[1] (of an appropriate difficulty level), grab something off the top, read/play through it ONCE, and then never look at it again[2]. Keep working your way through the pile as you have time to practice.

Playing through a piece multiple times is great for other things, but if you want to practice reading, you need music that you've never seen before. Otherwise, you'll rely on memory, which is not reading. (Or if you've heard it before, you may rely on your ear, which is also not reading.)

Yes, this process is going to feel tedious and annoying. Pausing and naming notes, like you said. But try to see that as a good sign. It means you're really focusing on the things that you're weak at.

Once you've gotten the basics down through practice, there are two other things you can do to boost your ability to sit down and play through a piece by sight reading it.

One is to understand the structure and theory well enough that, if you can't read every note, you can make educated guesses. If you think about the notes that you've just been playing and realize they form an Am7 chord followed by a D7 chord, then you can predict that the next chord might be a G or Gmaj7. Then you can just check that the notes you see now are in fact one of those. But, this trick has limitations. Sometimes music does clever and unexpected things, and then this trick hurts more than it helps. In those moments, you're better off just focusing on what it says on the page instead of trying to understand it.

The other thing is to read ahead. As you're playing one measure, you look at notes which are a measure or two ahead. This requires a bit of multitasking and juggling stuff in your short term memory, but it's doable with some practice, and things are less likely to fall apart when you encounter a certain part that's a little more complicated.

Things like that rely on a small percentage of competent developers and an army of padding to get more bodies on seats.

How would I, as a native born US Midwesterner, view the USSR or the PRC as "my own history"? Not to mention that the USSR and PRC have both transitioned from economic socialism to capitalism while retaining political totalitarianism. So maybe the economic system and the political system are separate issues? There are plenty of countries in western/northern Europe that are more socialist, and indeed more democratic, than the US.

It's kind of like asking contemporary Christians how they get away with not focusing on the Spanish Inquisition. Why would someone today view that as "their own horrific history"?

I'm late to the party, but I want to say thank you for sharing this. It's inspiring to look at how much you've built and (hopefully) enjoyed the process of building! I'm loving everything -- your site, your language design, your docs, your builtin libraries, your dev tools. Beyond impressive. People like you are the ones who make HN one of my best places on the internet.

For context on where I'm coming from, about two weeks ago I picked up Crafting Interpreters [1] for fun. I'm finding your clear-yet-concise Compiler internals [2] to be particularly compelling reading, and jumping back and forth between those "how this all works" docs and the live example of this language you actually built do a WASM-compiled tree-blowing-in-the-wind animation is just... just wow. So freaking cool!

I also enjoyed reading the comment thread that inspired you to start on Yaksha and seeing how this project has a wholesome start as inspiration-by-programming-hero. I hope you recognize that a few years later you've now ascended from inspiree to inspirer. I also hope you're still having tons of fun building out Yaksha!

I don't dispute those stats, but it's not just construction workers. Every trademan I've used in the last 20 years has shown up in an F-150 or bigger. Normally to transport their tools in the box or bed. Most folks I know that have a truck of this size, that's the reason. You can't fit a pressure washer in a civic.

I do recognize that a lot of folks buy it because the false sense of safety or for "rolling coal and sticking it to hippies".
I don't think it's fair to blame CRA's state of disrepair on the layoffs. CRA has been barely maintained for years now and what releases it did receive were mostly to update its dependencies. CRA was created out of a need for a "blessed" starter but it feels like the hope was that it would spark competition so it could be replaced with something else.

Yeah, that's not an "abundance of caution." That's the bare minimum response at that point. What's the "not cautious approach?" Make the repo private and go on your merry way?

There I think you need to distinguish Democrat from liberals/leftists/progressives. There are differences of opinions among the latter group. I would say the majority distrust the police and the military but see them as necessary institutions that should be reformed. The Democrats, which is to say the people who have some claim to speak for the party, profess their love for law enforcement and the military, whatever their private reservations. This is not how Republicans, the politicians, behave towards the EPA and the rest.

Also, the Democrats have never had a politician of any stature, let alone a president of their party, say "Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem." That was Ronald Reagan.

In other words, you are right, the left does distrust those portions of the government it does not control, but there is an enormous difference of degree in how the two sides behave towards these portions of the government.
I was going to just write this off as ridiculous whataboutism but it doesn’t do your comment justice. “The Left” frets about nazism because the BS fascist tones of the typical far-right-but-with-mainstream-appeal policy platform bare a far closer resemblance to the left-wing counterpart does to say…communistic dictatorships of times past.
