Let say you are losing hair and you are researching the topic online. You will probably read everything you can find. If you then get a pop-up offering a free guide on natural remedies against hair loss, you will definitely want that.

Granted, the guide needs to deliver some value and not just be a bait and switch. If it doesn't deliver any value, it's pretty much guaranteed you will lose that subscriber.

To give you a real example: I offer a guide about design patterns and most of my subscribers come from that pop-up. And they are developers, showing that while pop-ups are not popular on places like HN, they are definitely not despised by all developers.

I myself sing up when I find something I am interested in. For example, I got a nice free guide about photoshop blend modes which was very useful when I got it.
To be fair, that's exactly how LA turned into LA: they ripped up streetcar lines, demolished parts of the city to make room for interstate highways, and changed the development rules to require low density and lots of parking.

Which is to say, American cities were not born with the car centrism, they were demolished and rebuilt with it. The reason it succeeded here, but not in London, may have a lot to do with the insane corruption due to the auto industry here (but we call it lobbying, not corruption, so it's fine :P), and also due to the hyper racist forces that drove white flight to suburbs. Also the incredible amounts of federal money that went to the interstate highway system.

Gosh, this website is becoming reddit more and more everyday. YOU don't have a wikipedia entry. Are you also now classified as "whatever that is"? Of course not.

I would implore you to open your mind up to resources that aren't popular social media because that's where the real gold/value is in development/engineering.
> If gravity wasn't self interacting it wouldn't follow the shortest path that gravity itself creates.

I don't know if this is the right way to think about this. Gravity follows all paths. In a sense, it is the path. Or, as Hawking described it[0]:

> [Gravity] shapes the arena in which it acts, unlike other fields which act in a fixed spacetime
background.

Back to your comment:

> So gravity is almost certainly self interacting.

I'm confused by the "almost certainly". I think this has long been established[1], but for entirely different reasons: The Einstein field equations are highly non-linear, so of course there will be self-interaction.

Or, if you prefer to think of the Einstein-Hilbert action: The Lagrangian density L = R · sqrt(det|g|) behaves as L ~ g⁻¹ · Ric · g², and the Ricci tensor is Ric ~ (∂g)∂(g⁻¹) + g⁻¹ ∂²g + (g⁻¹)²(∂g)², so if we view gravity as a quantum field theory (effective or whatever), there are plenty of self-interaction terms that will prevent the N-point function from vanishing for N > 2. Already in the weak field approach (where you approximate g = 1 + h) you get a triple graviton vertex, see p. 21 of https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.00319 .

Maybe we are talking about different definitions of "self-interaction here"?

That’s the normal answer at least. I feel like the answer to “cool the ocean” might be a lot more punishing.

At my last job, I worked in the PCI cardholder data environment, and we were very careful to limit egress from our systems in order to make it hard to exfiltrate data in the unlikely event of a breach. I remember thinking, if I were a wily hacker and I managed to pop a shell on one of these hosts, I would not be deterred by network egress roadblocks. I'd figure out a way to get `sz` on to a host and exfiltrate data to my heart's content with ZMODEM like we did back in the day.

Looks like it's still quite possible, I wonder if our network monitoring tools would have noticed gigabytes of data flowing out of the network that way.

Wat.

The Zig compiler is finite and deterministic, yes, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that user code is not finite nor deterministic.

Even worse, Zig's compiler may be deterministic and finite, but the language is not, by far. In fact, the language is one of the most infinite languages in existence because just the type system is uncomputable! [1]

(In this context, the word "undecidable" used by that source means "uncomputable".)

If the type system is uncomputable, then the type system will never be able to resolve all uses of function pointers everywhere.

The whole point of the Halting Problem is that you could have a finite and deterministic Turing Machine that runs other Turing Machines, and that finite and deterministic Turing Machine could run into situation where it never halts.

I never say this when people ask (because most people don't understand), but the real reason I don't like Zig is because of how infinite the language is, starting with its uncomputable type system.

This makes Zig one of the most unreasonable [2] programming languages in existence.

If you don't believe me, ask the Zig team how they plan to solve this problem. Don't ask them if they plan to solve it; ask them how.

Then if they reply, email me [3] with their proposed solution, and I will destroy it. I will do that no matter how many solutions they come up with because math says I will always win.

But if they say they can't, will you believe them?

I think your link is wrong. This link is to the post itself?
I don't think this is something with malicious intentions. Those folks worked on this feature probably didn't want deal with all the mess on cross-organization stuff whenever they need to support new sites/networks. They probably told the Edge team something like "This is a super high priority project from the SVP, just give me the ownership of this piece of code". Instead of implementing a proper client side domain filtering. Which is a worse problem ingrained in the org structure IMHO. Looks like they have no security/privacy process for this level of feature launches?
That's a different issue from what is described here.
Gigawatts is a rate, which gets multiplied by an amount of time to measure an amount of energy.

That's why your energy bill is based on kilowatt-hours. If you have a device that consumes power at a rate of one kilowatt (say a toaster oven) and you run it for one hour, that's one kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy.
> Maybe I should ask ChatGPT?

You actually should, it spits out a pretty good explanation (sometimes).
I find the best way to learn technical topics is to build a simplified version of the thing. The trick is to understand the relationship between the high level components without getting lost in the details. This high level understanding then helps inform you when you drill down into specifics.

I think this book is a shining example of that philosophy: https://www.buildyourownlisp.com/. In the book, you implement an extremely bare-bones version of lisp, but it has been invaluable in my career. I found I was able to understand nuanced language features much more quickly because I have a clear model of how programming languages are decomposed into their components.
>Java, C, C++, and JavaScript definitely do have the "dangling else" problem! It's a manifestation of the same basic issue. Who is saying they don't? You just showed how they do! It is a real problem and they all have it.

Yeah, that's actually exactly my point: it's not some new weird novel horrible broken parsing problem that only OCaml has; rather, it's a common parsing rule that many languages (including Java, C, C++, and JavaScript -- and yes, OCaml) have.
> Google indisputably has a monopoly over web search: ~93% market share. (I'll never understand why we've done nothing legally about this.)

You seem to be under the misconception that it is illegal for Google to possess a monopoly over web search. This is not the case. It is only illegal if such a monopoly was obtained or maintained via anticompetitive means. If the monopoly was obtained via "growth or development as a consequence of a superior product, business acumen, or historic accident", then it is entirely legal.

Source: https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol...

Moreover, the government has done something about it when Google tried to use their monopoly over web search to obtain a monopoly in other markets via anticompetitive means.
Too Paywalled, Didn't Read:

> As I hope you can tell by now, I think the anti-testing people are wrong. That said, I do think the anti-anti-testing people are more worried than they ought to be. I hear from certain quarters that the end of standardized testing will lead to a catastrophic collapse of meritocratic standards or make it impossible for smart kids from modest backgrounds to distinguish themselves.

> The people raising those concerns are, I think, taking the situation too literally. The worriers are looking at the current admissions system and then imagining the consequences of kicking out the standardized test leg of the stool. And it’s completely true that if you did that, you’d get a class that’s skewed more toward privilege and less toward intelligence. But I think that misunderstands the situation. Elite schools don’t design an admission system behind a veil of ignorance and then see what happens. They know what kind of class they want and they reverse-engineer admissions criteria to deliver that result. This reverse-engineering process places a thumb on the scale against Asian applicants from major metropolitan areas. But it’s embarrassing (and potentially illegal) to admit that this is happening, and the standardized tests make it a little too clear what’s going on.

> Schools are moving to phase out the tests not because they want to admit a different group of people, but because they are anticipating a Supreme Court ruling that will try to make them change who they admit, and they don’t want to do that.

> The idea is that without standardized test requirements, it will be harder for anyone to prove that discrimination is happening and schools can keep admitting the same people they are admitting now. Because the tests are a useful tool, doing without them will make admissions work a little bit more labor-intensive. But Harvard has plenty of money and can easily afford to hire more admissions officers to scrutinize applications that lack a convenient summary test score.
What would happen is the opposite of this. Wealthy countries have lower than replacement birth rates. If you're worried about responsible population growth, you get that by making the poorest wealthier and giving them access to education and health care.

I went through some of the video, and I found it interesting that most of the projects and task the presenter is showing are about making videos. There's something borderline ironic in the cyclicality of those youtube people focusing on "productivity" mainly producing videos about how to be productive.

And yeah, the administrative burden of maintaining such a system gives me pause ; the decorum of being formal gives the impression of being productive, but are you really productive when 25% of your time goes into the project management and time you invest in setting it up?

Notion is a good product, imo. But it's not unique -- there are other products like it out there, most notably Microsoft Loop, which is a clone.
I saw the Janet language mentioned a few times on HN recently and it looks like a nice flavor of lisp that’s also embeddable. Maybe that would be useful for EWW?

My understanding regarding winding down those gifted classes was that it had little to do with them not working and everything to do with them being full of children that are statistically more advantaged than their peers.

Aka full of white and Asian children which made people angry claiming that the other children were being ignored and left behind.
I have a very simple rule that I’ve been following for years and it always worked for me. I ask a recruiter about the interview stages, and if I hear “live coding” I immediately decline this opportunity and switch to the next one. Eventually I was able to find really great places to work at, that made me happy for the next years.

A similar debate exists within the professional military community about the appropriate place to give special operations forces within the broader force. There is a concern, especially in the United States, where special forces have accrued a growing share of resources and personnel since the beginning of the global war on terror, that such growth is draining regular forces of all their top personnel and thus hollowing the regular units they rely on.

Windows Secrets Extraction: A Summary
The book Becoming Steve Jobs is pretty good and it is a fair portrayal of him (or it seems that way to me). He is obviously amazingly talented, he also had a difficult personality. But he convinced lots of talented people to work for him and do great work under him (most have not gone on to anywhere near their past level of success after leaving Apple). In my experience, talented people have options and if they choose to work for a difficult boss it's generally because that boss has good traits as well.
I don't even think it should be a design goal to perfectly simulate the Linux interface. MacOS nix underpinnings are much more BSD than Linux. Yes, a package system like homebrew needs to be installed, but on the plus side you can choose if you want homebrew or macports.

There's no getting around it, we have to individually learn all of the systems that we're on. Every time I'm on a linux system (I mostly use BSD) I'm badly thrown by systemd. This is my fault--I need to learn it--but it's always annoying to have to relearn how to do basic tasks on a similar yet different system.

As someone who has tried a variety of productivity tools: Trello, Jira, Notepad, religious google calendar-ing, Notion, I've only really stuck with two things: notepad and Notion.

Notepad just allows me to get simple thoughts down and easily reorganize information. I then adapted that workflow with Notion and have been pretty happy with it so far: tracking daily todos, trip plans, workout routines.

What I've enjoyed most about notion is that it lets me do something as simple as my daily routines but also helps me plan/track things for technical side projects as well. I really think the flexibility, which many other tools don't have, is what I'm drawn to here

Well, yes, all of that. Its 4 gens of 4 images each, and its 16 white, 16 bearded, 16 men, 15 with glasses, and pretty much all middle aged. That’s an extraordinarily lot read into the prompt.

(I also think its something about the hidden prompting or fine tuning of the model of the particular site they are using; i can’t get anything with that little diversity out of DreamStudio or clipdrop — StabilityAI’s first party frontends which use SDXL — or my own local testing with the SD1.5 and SD2.1-768-based models I use; heck, base SD or most checkpoints that aren’t specilaized for the purpose aren’t that consistently biased toward photographic style, leaving out the demographic biases the results shown.)
One of the better laid out interviews I had consisted of them pitching a problem prompt via email, followed by an hour and a half to complete the problem, followed by a ~30 minute code review. Realistically, the task was like a 20 minute job, so plenty of margin for stress-related slowdown. I think that's a happy medium between unbounded take home exams that monopolize your time, versus in-call leetcode whiteboard sessions.
