I wish people would stop using this phrase.

Especially when they couldn't be more wrong.

Heat degrades batteries, wireless charging generally comes with more heat from the lower efficiency.

But at the end of the day it most likely won't matter as people get new phones every few years anyways.
100% agree. This is such an idiotic standard, they might as well stop lying and just say the truth: "if you're not on auto update, fuck you".

What's worse is people copycat this "baseline", and if you try to argue sanity, they just say "sure it's what Chrome/Firefox recommend" without knowing or caring that they are only supporting months old browsers now. It's madness.

> About the closest thing we have to a "normal" desktop dpi nowadays is probably 24 inches @ 1920x1080, which is ~92dpi.

Funnily enough, 96dpi is actually the reference that Windows uses. 200% scaling factor is therefore 192dpi, and 250% is 240dpi.

Explains why Windows defaults to 250% scaling on 15" 4K monitors, like laptops. Or 125% on 15" 1080p monitors!

No but it correlates. There's so plenty of people corrupted by their puritanicalism, who disagree too strongly with the world & what happens. But good people, in most cases, have an ethos that drives them, aren't passively just about, aren't only there for themselves.

>the dynamic nature of the language means many optimizing techniques just aren't available.

This is something that seems like it should be true, but counter evidence exists that proves that it's not the case.

The first example would be V8, the JavaScript JIT compiler used in Chrome and NodeJs (and probably other things). V8 is many times faster than CPython in pretty much every situation.

The second, and even better example is SBCL, a Common Lisp compiler. SBCL is quite a bit faster than CPython and V8, it's closer to the JVM in terms of performance in benchmarks that I have saw.

The third example would be some of the Scheme compilers, like Chez and Gambit, which are not far off from SBCL.

Maybe you could argue that JavaScript is not as dynamic as Python. I don't know JavaScript at all so maybe that is the case.

I'm pretty sure that Common Lisp and Scheme are not less dynamic though. I think Common Lisp is actually more dynamic but I don't have any way to measure this, so it's just my opinion.

So assuming these languages are as or more dynamic than Python, this seems to be proof that Pythons dynamic-ness is not the reason for it's poor performance!

The Lisp compilers are also much less widely used and have much less engineering power available!

I think these counter examples are pretty interesting and don't know exactly what to make of it. Python has more funding and more users to contribute to it (except in the case of V8), I guess until now they just haven't put any of that into performance.

Very interesting document; however, the text seems to disagree with your adderall explanation.

> According to DEA's data, manufacturers have not fully utilized the APQ for amphetamine in support of domestic manufacturing, reserve stocks, and export requirements for the past three calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022.

> Based on this trend, DEA has not implemented an increase to the APQ for amphetamine at this time.

Which suggests that the DEA's quota for adderall is not (yet) to blame.

Being asked to not do it is not prereq to being charged. Even if the FAA didn’t ask, he could still be charged and prosecuted for the same crime.

It's not that you're explicitly wrong, it's that you and the article are putting a very positive spin on what is objectively mediocre performance. I could just as easily put a negative spin on it, and suggest there's something wrong with the fact that the Switch can barely run modern games.

For the record, I own a Switch and I'm thinking about buying the new Zelda game... I just like facts more than spin.

I'm not as intimately familiar with South Korea as I am with Japan, but they share a lot of parallels, and Japan is set up in such a way that it just grinds people down, monopolizes a lot of their time, and boxes them in.

Private fields were such a sad step for JS. Everything should be a first-class entity. Making invisible silent features of JS feels like such a sad outside ask.

I want to carve some space for code securely dealing with other code, but I don't feel like within the VM is the place. Use real isolation boundaries for secure concerns. Denying the ability for the runtime to be observable & clear to itself is a huge limiter against problems we never had, is mis-security.

This was a huge mistake & made the world worse.

You wrote the post you wrote. And then you accuse zbobet2012 of condescension? Physician, heal thyself.

Don't be so condescending to assume that Go's designers ignored decades of PL research. They knew it far better than you do.

And don't be condescending to the programmers, either. They aren't sheep who are led astray by shininess and PR. If that many programmers are using Go, then many of them find genuine value in Go. It solves enough actual problems well enough for it to get used, a lot.

If you have to make the choice between getting a Saleae logic analyzer and a similarly priced oscilloscope, I think the logic analyzer fits more people's use case than the oscilloscope, because digital electronics and signals are more approachable to hobbyists and novices. If you're primarily concerned with decoding digital communications signals, and inspecting their timing, a logic analyzer is the tool for this job.
> By the time WASM catches up, the performance of JS in V8 gets so much better it becomes 'good enough' which obviates the need for WASM.

One main benefit of WASM arguably isn't performance of newly developed applications, but the possibility to run arbitrary old applications (or new applications built on massive stacks of historically grown libraries) much more efficiently than emscripten alone allows.

> There might be a niche need.

Of course it's a niche need, Java applets haven't been mainstream for many years now! But as with any technology, a long tail exists.

> I have explained how 'Direct Buffers' are a problem to anyone who understands what VM and Direct Buffers used for (they are inherently about bridging to native memory), which obviously is not going to be accessed in WASM context.

I've only ever used Java on the server – are "Direct Buffers" commonly used by Java applets not bridging to JNI (which obviously won't run in a pure Java emulation/compatibility layer)?

I quit taking non-prescrip Adderall at the start of the year after having taken it for ~7 months and am so happy I did!

I'm friendlier, my thought process is more clear and less scattered, I don't surprise people with chatty behavior some of the day and then ghost them other times of the day, and I'm more aware of my overall health and energy levels. If I stop running, lifting weights, eating a really clean diet, sleeping restfully, or start smoking/drinking - I feel it now and there's no hiding from it. While on Adderall, all of my bad health habits were just a slight adjustment to a dosage away from being a non-issue for another month, but the downward health spiral from ignoring all the extra care I could be doing for myself really started adding up.

Looking back at that time, I really thought I was being hyper productive while on it, but I think it was more like I was spinning my wheels really fast, not going very far, and feeling unreasonably good about the progress I was making because all my brain's reward centers were constantly firing. I could do an endless amount of simple work, and actively sought out that type of work, but the real deep critical thinking stuff I started to balk at and look for ways to justify avoiding - usually by doing double or triple the amount of simple stuff. It's odd that it made me feel so dang confident in my abilities.

No hate to those who have ADHD and take it, but, for me who was taking it illicitly at low dosages (1mg-5mg), all the negative side-effects drastically outweighed the benefits and I only really saw that once I found it inside me to stop.

Definitely sucks having to re-train my willpower though. It was just so damn easy to delegate all of that to the drug. It took a few months before I felt I could really convince my brain to work hard on its own, but now I'm back!

Good luck and best wishes to all those out there that see a bit of themselves in this post :)

Show HN: Charts to Understand U.S. – Mexico Border Crisis

Notably, there has been an increase in female migrants and diverse socioeconomic backgrounds among the migrating population.
I think I am missing something obvious, but can't you just take your existing DAG and add a merge validation step to solve this?

If I'm understanding the problem right a malicious user, uses the same source id to send action a to user 1 and action b to user 2.
This has started two independent (and currently indistinguishable branches in your DAG)
When those branches come into contact at say user 3 weird bugs start arising.

However, user 3 is receiving a DAG of all the operations along with the operations. Can't it use that to validate the DAG chain? If it finds a conflict it could simply create a branch at the conflict point by modifying the IDs at the point of conflict. Say by appending a hash of just that operation to the id?
I don’t understand your point. You keep asking obvious questions. Of course if I currently have 100k left and I drove 100k miles I would have zero left and a new car. Yes, of course I’m aware.

I have done the math and am comfortable with my decision. I made extra money and it worked out fine. I understand depreciation and it’s the cost of goods.

Are you aware that many jobs have supplies that are used up in the performance of your job?

It’s pretty basic arithmetic that there are many scenarios where driving for Uber is a perfectly fine choice. Not everyone is driving an F150 and sitting in traffic. Lots of people drive efficient cars and are happy.

The reason people drive for Uber for many years isn’t because they are somehow dumber than you and not aware of basic things.

I met the author around 10 years ago at the Philly python user group. I remember seeing her switching jobs, rising through the ranks, and going from not knowing what she was talking about to giving presentations in a very short time. At the time I said that she was going to be an absolute star or burn herself out sooner than later.

That said, I feel the same way and haven't accomplished as much. So maybe assuming burnout and maximizing our personal returns should be standard career advice

If it can't do much until those extra annotations are in place, then I would imagine it's unlikely it'll ever get support from numpy, django, and the like. Uptake for mypy type annotations alone has been pretty slow.
By plain old amphetamine I meant structurally, rather than a specific stereoisomer mix. Though I guess I had assumed it was 100% dextroamphetamine.

I think Dexedrine was sold OTC in the 50s and 60s, hard to be sure, sources I can find talk about it being popular for use by anyone and everyone, from dieting housewives to truck drivers and athletes, but don't specifically mention it being OTC or prescription.
Well, the problem is that once tolerance builds, I become unable to stay up for the entire day. "The entire day" being from around 4 AM to 8 PM.

So my sleep schedule starts to get stupid again.

My current routine seems to work around this by re-fixing my sleep schedule every 3 days or so.

Before tolerance, I could wake up at 4AM without an alarm, stay up until 8PM or so, then sleep until 4AM the next day, and repeat that for a month or two. Good times. Internal clock actually worked and everything was running smoothly. Makes me wish I didn't require such a dangerously high dose.
Basically yes but I do somewhat appreciate the haptic interfaces (not enough to buy it) and I also deeply respect that it is a 4 channel recorder (also not enough to buy it).

It gets my goat that these systems are so stingy on channels. Add a couple more. It costs so so little. The attempts to price differentiate self-sabotage this market for me.

I hope we can see some good tactile peripherals emerge. Not full products, but like, a USB spinning disk one can also scrub on, as like this.

TIL: Go is fast, Python is slow.

I had no idea how true this was until I built a Bayesian AB testing stats engine in Go, and compared it to python PyMC3

The repo is a python wrapper around our Bayesian-Go stats engine. You can use the repo to compare PyMC3 bayesian analysis to our API (we're about 1500x faster).

You can also use the repo as a python entry-point to our API, if you want to build your own AB experimentation tool but use our backend.

PostGIS is somewhat of a standard interface for geolocation data and one of the main interfaces of QGis, the other being based on SQLite. It's kind of cool how powerful it is, being a "real" database instead of some more contrived format.

My adventures with QGis+PostGIS have also led me to discover the fun fact that even setting the TLS mode to "enforce" may enforce that you're using TLS ... but not that the certificates are correct. Silly. It also won't use the system's store when set to "full". Oh well.

By the way: I find Railway to be a great home for low-use Postgres/PostGIS databases. You basically pay for operations and the free tier is totally fine for semi-casual use (about 1-2k entities) with a few people from across the pond.
