Isn't the Steam Deck itself a reasonable console.

The Switch does well for the same reason, people are okay with losing some of that AAA quality if they can game on the go.

I guess a 800$ Steam Deck would be significantly more powerful to the point where the quality would be enough for most.
Does it? They host a ton of media content reached by most likely millions of page views with a full staff and little to no ads. I wouldn't be surprised if they've been running the site at a loss for most of its life.

"Nerds 2.0.1" by Stephen Segaller, 1999

I picked up a copy at Borders and read it over a summer. Fantastic. I still have my copy.

"Code" by Charles Petzold, 2000

There's a new edition as of 2022. I love Petzold's writing. If you did anything Win32 at the end of the 90s you probably did too.

I remember this book being fun to read. It was the time when acolytes of Stallman ran amok and Windows was doomed to perish leaving Linux to inherit the world.
The Steam Deck is the most well known gaming device sold running Linux, made by the most well known PC gaming company, who are often credited with making the most significant contributions to Linux gaming in recent years (~5+ years).

That's a really hard thing for a compiler to predict though. I recently got a 2x performance boost just by switching to an array of struct of array representation (making the cache lines have more data that actually matters), and the only reason it made a difference was the access pattern of a mildly non-trivial algorithm acting on that data (not hard per se, but definitely hard for a compiler to optimize through).

Show HN: Create Spotify playlists using ChatGPT
Hello all,

This is my first submission on Hacker News. Recently, like many others, I've been playing around with ChatGPT APIs and have been impressed with the capabilities that have been unlocked through the APIs.

For example, ChatGPT could "recommend" me songs that can introduce me to different kinds of music - "Popular American music from the 90s" or "Classical Indian music" or "Songs that have won the Original Song Award at the Oscars." Or you could even ask for "early morning CrossFit workout music."

So instead of adding these recommendations manually, I integrated ChatGPT responses with Spotify APIs to make a public playlist. That is the idea behind https://www.playlistgenius.com - Create playlists using ChatGPT recommendations.

I am no expert on the correctness of the recommendations, and some of these playlists may already be available on Spotify (curated by humans). However, the capability of expressing user intent in human language for such use cases excites me.

There are limitations to the recommendations. For example, music data after 2021 is almost absent in the recommendations due to the training data cut off for version 3.5.

There are some known issues in the implementation too that I need to work on. For example - sometimes a song may be added more than once in the same playlist.

Please give www.playlistgeniusai.com a try.

I would appreciate any general or specific feedback on this app as I start work on integrating feedback (support for other service providers like YT music, etc.), fixing bugs, and releasing the next version.
I'm less curious about this for cars that can get decent range from batteries...

...and far more curious about its potential for aviation, where the weight of batteries makes powering a jumbo jet impossible.

I know other technologies are being investigated (like cooled liquid hydrogen to power fuel cells), but could “emissions-neutral” synthetic fuel ever become a long-term solution for planes?

Or is there something about the economics of this that will keep it niche for things like owners of eventually-antique ICE cars?

To achieve your goal, compilers would have to disable any sufficiently powerful optimization. If you write bugs (UB), a powerful compiler will eventually catch them and generate code that you didn't intend at the beginning. However, this is not the fault of the compiler or the language.

It's an incredibly beautiful region, and that's definitely one of the options I'd consider if I was genuinely forced out, which I didn't mean to suggest I am, it's just that renting is the only viable option. 2 hours away though doesn't really solve that problem if I was trying to unfortunately; things don't get as more affordable as you'd hope.

But costs aside, the answer is that the people and things I do in the city are what bring my life substance, and being from the suburbs, it's a deeply isolating sort of existence that relies pretty heavily on having a car. I've personally never aligned with the idea of working remotely and isolating myself further; it would seem to me a recipe for depression.

I love being in nature, isolated and away from the city, at times, but not most of the time. I like leaving my place to walk to the grocery store, the cafe, and along the way being able to bump into people I know by name and ask them how things are going. I like walking to the gym, especially when it's raining (a lot), and having my small community of people there. Incredible food is nearby as well, concert venues, easy access to the airport, none if which I'm indulging in all the time but enough that it really brings flavour into my life.

I also like biking around, and for that there's actually quite a lot better infrastructure for in the city vs out, and it's easier to just get on a bus and go into the wilderness.

The crackhead comment was a bit flippant. I don't have a problem with anyone experiencing addiction, it's just a deep irony I find a little sad, akin to "instead of making it easier to build a life here, we'll just make it easier to fall out the bottom", though I know things are wildly more complex than that.

Lastly, aside from all those reasons, there are theoretically more job opportunities in the city, and that's good for my partner who doesn't work remotely and for me during the periods where there is no programming work.

To me, a good city is the culmination of social systems including capitalism that benefit from having more people around. A greater social circle of people available, more market, more jobs, more culture, better transit systems, art, etc..

Edit: I'd add the the only aspect of living in a city that's busy or particularly loud are automobiles, and to an extent the train. Very little of any generalized chaos is the result of many people ambiently being around, depending I guess on your individual tolerance for that and where specifically you might be. It's never once occurred to me that there are too many people around.
> If you want the most cutting edge medical care then USA is the no 1 destination for people all over the world.

That's a bit like saying "you can find the cleanest air in the world in California". In remote locations in the desert or wilderness that's plausibly possible, but the vast majority of people live in cities with substantial air pollution. Likewise, most Americans do not have access to cutting edge medical treatments and endure what I would generously call apathetic care from their medical providers. What is available to a celebrity or Saudi prince will never be available to you or any other American you ever meet.

Exactly! Shared libraries mean that new code with modified behavior can and will be called when made available, independent of how the original code was compiled. It is interesting that people come out to complain about this obvious behavior.

That's not true. If the program's execution path from start to finish avoids UB then you're safe. (Also the source code itself has to avoid UB, but that part isn't hard.)

It's true that code with UB does not have to be reached, per se, but it does have to be something your program will reach before it can hurt you.
Eventually death, disease, or divorce will force properties to sell. That will move market values down. Meanwhile, my buddy’s mobile home manufacturer is back to being able to output a home in weeks. Construction has already fallen off a cliff-which makes sense given that’s the easiest to spin up/down of the market.

The RE market is responding to the rates. Though, whether it’ll be enough is beyond my knowledge or possibly anyone else’s.

If not, it’s precisely this sort of situation where change seems impossible that people can find the will to insist upon change.

For renters, I suspect regulation and oversight would go a long way. It’s not going to create a NYC level inefficiency if gobbling up SFHs for rental properties is curtailed. (And I’ve heard of at least one story suggesting AirBnB rentals may be unable to rent at current prices/supply.) Nor would outlawing problematic practices create problems.

In the west, people largely have a say in their governments. People just need to show up to elections and primaries with the demand that government work for them.

Quite a lot. I save a lot of money - my monthly transportation cost is some two-digit number even after including the occasional weekend trip to other cities - most of which I squirrel away and some of which I spend on other things; I am always in excellent physical shape; I have a deep knowledge of the metro, bus, bikeshare, trail and bike lane systems around the DC metro area and spend a lot of time using low-stress separated infrastructure; I go anywhere in the city anytime I want without ever having to think about parking, tolls, gas or congestion.

The drawback, if you can call it that, is that I am radically anti-car, as a direct result of the lived experiences that that life gives me.

That's exactly why a compiler shouldn't be able to 'optimize' in the face of UB, it should be an ERROR and the section of undefined behavior highlighted in the error message.

I don't expect their empathy. I expect them to experience consequences for their actions. The consequences can stop when the actions stop and aren't expected to be repeated. I expect some subset of them to have an understanding of cause and effect, and thus learn. (If the lesson they learn is "change actions" rather than "change mindset producing actions", that'll do.) I expect the rest to complain about experiencing consequences for their actions.
Using a freed pointer is incorrect behavior, a bug in shorter terms. If you do anything with a freed pointer (other than assigning new memory), you're inviting all kinds of bugs (independent of what the compiler might be doing with your code).

I think when you click "accept", you also accept to things like fingerprinting and storing a fingerprinted identity on their server, as well as perhaps supercookies, that allow your ISP to track you.
By proprietary, I more meant the "only certain people can get access" more than the part itself being open to tinker at that sort.

Think the weird random chips apple uses more than the fact that 90% of CPUs on market aren't totally open; one is still clearly more accessible.
I think the point is that if the `argc <= 2` path is unreachable, then that means argc is always greater than 2, permitting the compiler to optimize the entire block to just:

return printf("%s: we see %s", argv[0], argv[1]);

IOW, the conditional has been elided. But you're right in that the wording of the complaint doesn't match the example. The author presumably had in mind some of the more infamous NULL pointer-related optimizations, without spending the time to put together a properly analogous example.
Funny, something really similar happened to me! 14 years old, at a friend's birthday party at Magic Mountain. The Superman ride was new. That's where you get into a bullet shaped gondola and get shot up a vertical tower, with a giant statue of Superman at its apex, go briefly weightless and then freefall backwards until you curve flat and brake to a stop. Never big on roller coasters, I got peer pressured into this one.

I didn't like it all that much. But what scared the hell out of me was when, on descent, the brakes malfunctioned. This caused the gondola to go screaming backwards past the platform where the next riders were lined up, fly through some butcher curtains and go crashing into a padded wall in a hidden cinder block cell at the end of the track.

We all sat there for a minute pretty stunned, and then some goofy employee came running out and jumped up on the front of the car. "Whoops! That wasn't supposed to happen!" He said. "But I have some great news for you! Who wants to go again??"

And of course, all the kids cheered.
It's not directly related to the topic at hand. It's meta-commentary about the discussion, not about the actual topic. That, and your post I'm replying to, and this reply I'm making should all be downvoted as they're all off-topic.

I've flown on my company's corporate shuttle and the experience was way better than commercial.

It flew out of a small airport used only for corporate and private planes:

- register for the flight online on company website

- free parking at airport, about a 5 min walk to the small terminal

- show up 15 min before take off, only showing your employee ID

- no security check for baggage

- walk out a door right onto the plane that was 20 ft away

- not a busy airport, so it was pretty much close door, taxi to runway, take off in 5 min

- way better snacks and drinks; legroom was the same as a commuter aircraft, but you could just sit where ever you wanted, no assigned seats

- stops were about 10 min (the shuttle ran a route of 4 cities with major operations) - taxi plane to terminal, throw the trash bags off, let a few passengers get off, a couple get on, close the door, taxi and take off

It was cheaper for the company to operate this service than play commercial rates because the plane was usually >75% full most flights
Ask HN: Finally got a new job, how do I avoid making the same mistake as before?
After being laid off in November, I finally got a new position. However, I will be the sole developer on the team. I've been in this scenario before, after graduating I joined a company with six developers. Pretty quickly, the other developers departed, and I was the only one left. During this time, I did not make any attempt to stay current with industry best practices and missed out on valuable knowledge and experience. When I joined the last company, I found it challenging to keep up with Jira tasks, retrospect meetings, and the speed at which the other developers were completing tasks (I think my inability to keep pace contributed to my layoff). Therefore, I am determined to avoid repeating this mistake except I don't know how, or how to improve my speed?

The new position is at a university. I am curious if it will be challenges to transition from academia to business?
> How this gets downvoted is beyond me

Primarily because you're bringing in an argument from a different story entirely rather than figuring out a better option.

But also you're being very rude in that other thread, and calling twitter "high bandwidth" for a discussion is... weird.

> Yeah, I’m being downvoted by a bot or something.

Uh huh.
I don't mind; I'm mainly curious as to whether their ideas are self-consistent, more than anything else. Any coherent system of beliefs has to be either aligned with experimental evidence (perhaps with unconventional terminology), independent of experimental evidence (i.e., unfalsifiable), contrary to experimental evidence, or self-contradictory. It's an interesting exercise to tease out which one it is, yet often unsuccessful, if the other person gets tired of your incessant questions. (In the worst case, they simply refuse to let their beliefs cohere at all, falling back to unexplainable mysteries that it's your fault for not already understanding.)
