> Why are [first-person singular pronouns] so similar if the languages are so far apart? The answer can only be chance, convergent evolution, or a genetic relationship.

There is also another possibility: the linguist doing the reconstruction was invested in the theory and cherry-picked the data.

E.g. the list of first-person singular pronouns contains these entries:

Austronesian: ’a(ŋ)kƏn

Afro-Asiatic: anāku

which are so simlar that I decided to verify and check Wikipedia, which has slightly different reconstructions

Austronesian: i-aku https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Austronesian_language#Pr...

Afro-Asiatic: (ʔ)ân-/(ʔ)în- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Afroasiatic_language#Pro...

and suddenly one of the examples supporting the theory ends up contradicting it, while the other still has "n", but is otherwise far removed from the reconstruction presented in the article.

I don't think the reconstructions on Wikipedia are necessarily more correct, but they do demonstrate that there is significant leeway when it comes to the inclusion or exclusion of specific consonants. And if you have a dozen options to choose from, it's quite easy to turn random noise into a strong signal.

They're headed the way of Dropbox. As Steve Jobs famously said to Dropbox when trying to purchase them: You don't have a product, you have a feature.

For Dropbox it took way longer to get to that point than anyone expected, but Microsoft, Apple, and Google have all copied the Dropbox feature. 1Password is headed in the same direction and Apple is leading the pack in making it redundant. If the password section of Settings in macOS gets a separate app and a way to share passwords, 1P will end up in the same tough spot as Dropbox.

It even feels alien to me when someone claims to feel bad for pirating something. Most of the time it's just so much easier. And no please don't start on the usual "it's like stealing from a physical store". It's not. Stealing implies that the owner loses something.

I know what you mean because when my friend "failed", he spent a year working odd jobs, learning some Stock Market "stuff", and then decided to pursue a degree online and within less than a year he had a WFH job (a rarity at the time) lined up in his field.

Meanwhile, in comparison I failed more and more, and am still struggling to this day. Unlike you I am not broke, but I have severe health anxiety, as well as a lower intelligence level than most (at least when it comes down to academics). Needless to say, I'm a college dropout.

Oddly enough my friends are successful people. PhD holders, Business Owners, and people working in very respectable fields. I just wish I was a little like them, but alas.

We shall overcome!

I disagree. ChatGPT is useful in many contexts, but a natural language assistant is just not how I interface with a computer. Sticking ChatGPT in the start menu would be just as bad as Cortana. What I really want is the ability to choose how I use these tools instead of having them forced on me.
If I do not find another job soon, it’s safe to say my career was a failure. Sad because it was the one thing that I was area of life I actually managed to get anything out of so far.

As for why, there’s too much to try and condense into a single HN comment, but my career started off on the wrong foot, and I was not really that “into” tech by the time I decided to make the jump from hobbyist to professional.

I would not say it was a net loss though, mostly because it didn’t cost me much and I did manage to snag some decent money finally by the end. No, the net loss is probably going to be in whatever I try to do next.
Technologists are as prone to flights of fantasy and mysticism as anyone else:

Example: AI is a threat to humanity --- as soon as it learns how to differentiate fact from fiction on the internet.

But equating technologist with "science" or "scientist" is a fallacy. Technologists may employ science as a tool but they have no obligation to justify or offer proof of their work.

Example: Musk may *believe* that a colony of some sort can be built on Mars --- but there is no proof that it will ever be self sustaining over time or that significant numbers of sane people would ever willingly choose to try and live there.

So sorry --- science and religion are not the same.
I don't work in the field. But there is a theory unmentioned here that I'm convinced by, at least in part. Homo sapiens weren't necessarily just smarter than neanderthals and other proto-humans. There is a lot of evidence, much of it recent, that neanderthals were very intelligent indeed.

But Homo sapiens worked together. They were smarter in a more communal way. This can go a long way towards accounting for both their dominance of other archaic humans and the delay between their emergence on the world stage and the development of civilization.

The sapient paradox seems to me to make two assumptions. Intelligence is sufficient for civilization, and Homo sapiens were exactly the same species 60,000 years ago as 20,000.

Thoughts of a Linux diehard user that has migrated to FreeBSD: FreeBSD
Starship is immensely useful, even much closer to home. Financially, going to Mars is not the justification for Starship (no matter how often Musk says).

Starship will enable us to bring much more mass into orbit. Communication satellites mostly. The JWST would have been easier and cheaper to construct with the payload diameter of Starship. You could even launch much larger telescopes. Commercial space stations aren't really viable yet, and there's not that much to do for Humans in LEO. That's going to change. On top of all that, there are ideas to use Starship as a point-to-point transportation system for destinations on Earth.
The Moon though is 4 days away at any time. Bailout/emergency evac is much easier. And there are resources on the moon that may be viable for next gen tech(ie: Helium-3)

Mars is like 7-9 months away on the best pork chop plot. And even if you have something like an Aldrin cycler that may be able to cut that down at certain point to a few months, theres still a lot that can go wrong in that time. The average time to communicate to mars is something like 15 minutes as well. Its a totally different ballgame of "they are on their own". Even if you compare that to say....Christopher Columbus or others (that did similar for the time, but also knew there was a good chance they had the resources needed to survive)

Mars has some water and basic elements (O2, N2, H2O) but not much else otherwise. ANy food, probably drinks, shielding, and technology to make long term viability possible will have to be towed along.

Mars does seem like an option for expansion at some point. I am just not sure it will be in any of our lifetimes though.
> I am a long time multi OS users, and I just don't find Apple phones priced in any way to merit that plus in price. E.g. The cheaper Google Pixel 6a offers more or less what the iPhone 12 Pro or 13 base offers in terms of battery life, performance, screen, camera, so it all comes down to what? OS?

Depends on what you care about. For instance, I am paying the premium simply to make sure Google didn't have its fat fingers inside my phone.
No joke at all. I personally know people that rode this last hiring bubble very stellar and got from analyst to manager in just 2 years, while raising their salary over 300% upwards because of strategic company hopping.

Some of them did get fire and are having trouble finding a job that paid as well as the last one.

It was a risk they were willing to take and I believe in some cases it paid off.

This interview mentions that Starlink’s user agreement includes a clause that says that Mars is “a free planet” and “that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.” This is actually true. Once on Mars, disputes are to be settled according to good faith placed in Musk:

12. GOVERNING LAW.

… For Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, Disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.

Seen this way it seems DM theories are a failure of applying Occam's Razor on a scientifically complex topic. Whereby our current tools and theories cannot explain some observed discrepancies, we aim for a more complicated explanation for them (special types of matter) rather than limitations of our current techniques.

At the same time science doesn't progress by just shrugging and saying "we can't know", so maybe it's an inherent conflict of interest at play here?

I don't see anyone here say Amazon murdered (deliberately killed) people, but arguing they killed people. Kill can mean murder, which implies intent/doing so deliberately, but can also mean manslaughter, which does not require it to be deliberate.
This is not really true. It was relatively easy to obtain a copy of visual studio for rather cheap if you tried. I know because I used their tools all through high school, college, and beyond and was rather poor during those times in the late 90s/2000s. I always managed to stumble on free licenses. They never tried to leech your revenue later on either.
Repetitive tasks draining your coding creativity?
here are some tips. please share your way of being a productive programmer.

1- Utilize code snippets and templates: Save time by creating a library of reusable code snippets and templates for common tasks or boilerplate code.

2- Embrace keyboard shortcuts: Mastering your IDE's keyboard shortcuts can significantly speed up your coding process and minimize repetitive tasks.

3- Leverage automation tools: Integrate tools like task schedulers, code linters, and automated testing frameworks to streamline your workflow and reduce manual intervention.

4- Harness the power of macros: Record macros for frequent tasks or create custom ones to simplify complex actions, saving precious time and effort.

5- Opt for code generation: Use code generation tools or create your own to generate boilerplate code, allowing you to focus on the core logic of your project.

6- Customize your IDE: Tailor your IDE with plugins, extensions, or configurations that cater to your specific needs and preferences, enhancing productivity and reducing repetition.

7- Adopt a task management system: Implement a task management system like Trello, Asana, or Todoist to prioritize tasks, track progress, and delegate work efficiently.

8- Continuous learning: Stay updated with the latest techniques, libraries, and frameworks to adopt better coding practices and minimize repetitive tasks in your projects.

9- Be selective with features: Learn to say "no" to most feature requests and let them prove their worth. Prioritize only the essential and high-impact features to maintain focus and avoid unnecessary work.
Test Data Libraries for Elixir
I stand by "an ORM should work as just a query generator and let you skip any object layer when you want to", "an ORM should be able to let you feed the object layer data from your own query" and "an ORM should let you mix and match programmatic query generation and literals to as granular an extent as possible" being table stakes if you have developers who actually like SQL.

There are a bunch of things I hate about the DBIx::Class stack (most of which were my poor decisions to begin with) but it gets those right. Example:

$schema->resultset('Foo')
->where({ bar => $bar })
->update({
baz => \'CASE quux WHEN 0 THEN baz - 1 ELSE baz + 1 END'
});

would generate (the \'..' means 'reference to a scalar' in perl)

UPDATE foo
SET baz = CASE quux WHEN 0 THEN baz - 1 ELSE baz + 1 END
WHERE bar => ?

and duplicate the relevant SQL generation guts across to a statically typed language wouldn't be horrible ... but every time I start trying to figure out how to get useful per-select-list types for query returns I end up tying myself in knots (easy enough for a simple-CRUD oriented ORM but once you're looking at expressions in SELECT that are query-specific it starts getting gnarly).

I think you may be right about Nim though and thank you for reminding me that I really need to get back to playing with that :)

(obligatory perl disclaimer - if you don't like perl, that's entirely fair, but in that case please steal the good parts of my/the rest of the DBIx::Class/SQL::Abstract team's ideas into your language of choice because developers who don't like perl deserve nice things too)
This project appears to be dead or at the very least, abandoned just an FYI before you go too far down the rabbit hole like I just did
> The same is true for the moon, yet we did that

Did what? We put a few people on the Moon during the Cold War, then we ignored it for 50 years.

Now there's another war with Russia, and we're talking about putting people on the Moon again. It's all about nationalistic nonsense.

Not to mention that the Moon is a heck of a lot closer to the Earth than Mars.
No core _is_ the Rust language, libcore is just a library which adds the "Rust abstractions" so you can actually write a for loop or create a slice or deref, add or anything else.

Libcore just gets compiled like any other rust crate just it does not have access to abstractions.

For example, you can still write C code without libc because C is a language libc is just a library libcore is pretty much the same. Though Rust makes alot of assumptions that libcore _should_ be there but its possible for it not to be.

Here's one thing you've got going for you: you can reason about electrical work far better than the general population as well as ChatGPT, which can barely reason at all. It can regurgitate what it scoops up from its training data very well. When it has to combine ideas in novel ways it starts to hallucinate and requires an operator with genuine expertise to separate fact from fiction.

As a general purpose novice copywriter I think yeah a lot of people are gonna struggle in this new world. But you are an electrical expert. Maybe that's your angle.

I don't think the conditions on Mars will kill the first few people going there. The transportation, including the landing, is much more dangerous. And those people won't even stay there. A couple of years at most for any one person. Then with time the stays will be extended.

For a single example, the vertical farming movement branched out of "growing food on Mars" research. Vertical farming is a stupid idea, but determining all the surprising ways that crops can fail in a closed environment is likely to lead to better understanding of ecosystems and ways that our own might fail.
It's not so much a software resuming that's the issue. It's hardware like wifi, UBS, displays or even bits of the CPU not waking up or misbehaving after suspend. I sometimes have to disable and re-enable wifi for it to work solid again.

The parent reply hit the nail on the head with this:

>Maybe the jobs can get broken down into subtasks that you can run in parallel.

Unless you've explicitly called out that your jobs are CPU heavy, I'm willing to guess that there's a lot of IO/network calls meaning your jobs are taking 6 mins.

If that's the case, and those network calls are to a third party, then you're actually sitting on untapped scalability from their ability to handle calls by not splitting your jobs up into tasks at the point at which they wait for network calls to finish.
That is a good point! GPT5 in space, beam down the model, not the energy.

The same thing happens in the workplace, too. My last two jobs have had groups that adopted Notion and tried to use heaps of rules and templates and emojis that they wanted everyone to use to structure and document everything in Notion.

It turns into an exercise where the Notion document becomes the goal, rather than a tool to help get work done.

The Product Management group at my last company was the worst at this. They had hundreds of Notion pages that supposedly collected everything and show them in meetings, slide decks, and at every chance they had as proof that they were on top of things. Yet they could barely do any product management work that we needed to ship product because their whole world revolves around building Notion pages rather than building products.

The sad part was that it worked, at least for a while. Executives would praise the team for being so organized and always having so much to show in presentations. Eventually people started to realize that they were lost in the process of writing Notion docs rather than focusing on getting work done, but it took a long time.
Of course.

First of all, Pagico is really cross platform. It has clients for macOS, Linux and Windows, plus iOS (I use it on macOS, iOS and Linux). It allows me to group the tasks either in a free floating Inbox, or in their respective projects.

I can combine all these projects' tasks in a single view, or see them in their independent contexts. This allows me to see my whole workload (private + professional) and plan my life accordingly, even for future.

Every project can have its lists, notes, files and schedule. This allows me to take small notes and track my projects and carry these notes everywhere. Hence, I don't lose my mental state about a project. It also tracks project progress and your working patterns, like which days you're more active on the projects by analyzing your activity on said project.

Tasks can be added pretty quickly while planning, even with some NLP support. "Do this. Next tuesday" automatically scheduled, and the date string is automatically stripped. NLP is done locally, on the app.

You can export these notes as HTML pages if you want, but I generally move notes to Evernote or the prıoject's public Wiki, if I chose to close the project, but that's not a given. Sometimes I just leave them in.

Pagico provides a sync capability through its servers, yet you don't have to use it. It can work nicely over Dropbox for example, but mobile clients won't be able to sync with it.

The application is designed very neatly. Actually, it's just a web view with a dedicated/specialized PHP server running as a different process. It's much more lighter than Electron, yet it works very well.

The developer is also very responsive to bug reports and feedback. They are developing the thing for a very long time and they know what they're doing.

The app is not perfect, of course, but it works very well for what it does. I bought it during pandemic, and it's now my de-facto planning tool.

However, I still use Trello for even-longer term planning and Evernote for "eternal" documents. All three works pretty well for me. I spend maybe ~10 minutes every night to plan for the next day, and I'm happy.

I also want to note that I don't use many of the collaboration features of the app, and it has much more features than I actively use.
Then you're just reimplementing CSS classes in Tailwind.
There are plenty of situations where GTK might be better than Slint, but not so overwhelmingly that I'd call it only for toy apps.
It hallucinates way to much for me to be useful or see anyway of integrating it into an app. Maybe as emotional support chat but I wouldn't trust it not to push someone of a mental cliff.
