> Not everything is about money or paying for things.

Not everything, but surely running a business is one of those things that IS about money?
Some people just hate that ADHD people have a better quality of life with stimulant meds, and want to believe they're just addicts.

There is no reasoning with that kind of people. I just hate they keep the stigma around ADHD and its very effective medication alive so we keep being branded as druggies.
Your last line was very dismissive, and the first ones were a minor detail. If you had just said it as a helpful suggestion to improve compatibility, it would have been fine. Had you dismissed it because of something fundamental to the project's goals, it would probably have been fine.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

I can see someone interpreting your argument as "shallow," at least in the sense that the project overall may still be useful. Or it might be a good start, or they need your help to improve.

Also:

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

That's tangential at best and I'm not sure it supports the strong claim - "Dexedrine and other psychotropic pharmaceuticals have figured prominently in most mass shootings since that time"

I just had to return a couple of shoes: I thought I was being smart by ordering the exact same brand, model, and size again, but when they showed up they fit my feet like vises. In the end I also went to a brick and mortar store.

I agree. Living in London is for people who don't mind to work till they're old. I lived there for nearly a year and concluded that, while it's obviously an awesome city, it's not worth spending an extra decade (or more) working just to pay off mortgage to live there. I chose to live in an less awesome city, and thus am already retired at 42 years old.
EU lawmakers take first steps toward tougher AI rules
Speaking as someone who’s done both, you write the same tests either way. The main benefit of the type system is for IDEs, which have better code completion and automated refactorings when they can statically analyze types. Types also make type-related errors easier to debug: your tests will probably trigger the bug, but you’ll have to do some digging to figure out why.

On the flip side, the TS type checker is painfully slow, the code is noisy, and you’ll waste a lot of time satisfying the type checker.

For me, the sweet spot has been dynamic (runtime) type assertions in JS. Fast feedback loop, no transpilation hassles, good error messages when type-related errors occur. Downside is that now the editor can’t statically analyze types.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with using swc to transpile TypeScript without typechecking it. Now there’s a fast feedback loop and I use the IDE to discover type errors. (And the integration build checks types too.) I’ve just recently started this experiment, so jury’s out on whether it’s better than runtime type checking.

Just use a machine learning method other than an LLM. If you're going to go to the effort of fine tuning and training, pay people to collect and label data like we used to do before Feb 2023.

If your main concern is question answering or summarization or code completion there are plenty of ways to do that now. If you really require the advanced emergent properties of LLMs, you'll have to work with a company that can afford to train a transformer on the Entire Internet.
Yes, sizing varies for clothing, but this says to me people are being perfectionists when it comes to fit.

I can buy two pairs of pants. Same color (black), same style, same size, and bought at the same time. I can buy them at the store and try on one pair. And the second pair commonly fits differently. One a bit loose and the other having a waistband that digs in a little bit.

Shirts are similar. One will have room for breasts, the other gaps at the buttons or stretches more. One long sleeve shirt will touch the back of my hands, the other will show my wrist bones.

Ordering isn't much better: You have to trust that their garments actually match their sizing chart. My summer jacket was one my spouse ordered, and it definitely ran smaller than advertised.

This isn't being a perfectionist, but expecting honesty with fit and for the same garment to fit basically the same.

AMP is definitely a bad taste. The bad feelings here are legitemate for sure. Still, I recognize at least some of the desires here. The web did have a huge problem with sites loading slow, and it on average could be better; AMP did prune things down & make a number of picks that would make things a lot faster. It was a careful subset.

People detested that AMP sites got privilege in search rankings, and that was definitely a huge issue & uncool as heck. Right off the bat, Google did say they wanted to try to open up the capabilities to other sites. They wanted to make generic web technology where sites could safely embed content in a "search carousel", without AMP. But AMP stuck around for years as the only way to do that.

The third AMP issue is what they kept wanting to make Google the first party host of a lot of this stuff, again crying that it was the only way they felt sure users would have fast experiences. And again, they said they hoped to have web specs to let them not have to do this in the future, coupled with the above search carousel/packaged site ideas. Which again was just incredibly slow to mature.

I think AMP really polarized people stronger than it should have. It wasn't great. And worse, it was one of the rare times we've seen Google really try to play at picking favorites; they said they were going to open things up so others could also have similar benefits without being AMP, but it was incredibly slow to mature (in part because the standards development for WebPackage has gone soo slow). But they really did tackle real issues & did try to make things better; they really did have a very fast loading, lower jank page system that sites could quickly build with & get consistent good results from. Still, there were so many political land mines they created with this attempt; I want to recognize there are real interests here, but absolutely, in the end, this was an incredibly damaging bad experience.

Still, I think there's an Occam's Razer view here. Either Google is an incredibly crafty top-down well-planned mastermind, who has incredibly complex schemes to "take over" the web. Or it's just a variety of different attempts to try to make things better, different organizational fiefs within a huge entity, and sometimes people are a little short-sighted about what a lightning rod their work might become. Yes: I think AMP is a pretty exceedingly bold & indeed misguided attempt, a huge lightning road for understandable frustration. But it's 7 years old now, and we haven't seen this kind of balderdashery since. Google isn't pushing AMP like they were, they're fine with it being a sparsely adopted toolkit, most of the teams have moved on, and we don't see a lot of similar picking favorites plays since. Some of WebPackage has shipped & we can do a lot of cool things now that AMP dreamed up, with no Google involved.

Overall home ownership increased from 64.0% to 68.4% from 1990 to 2007.
During that time the population also increased from 250m to 300m.
Ostensibly, around 47m new home owners were added to the list during that
time. Going from 160m owners to 205m owners, or adding a new 28%.

During the same period 27m new housing units were completed, with 21m being
single family homes. I would assume this imbalance would impact pricing,
and there were plenty of other ventures for bummed out dotcom money to pour
into right around 2004.

Total ownership continued to fall until 2016. New single family home
construction rate has only recovered to about 1995 levels. The current
population is now 330m. I contend this suggests it's _still_ going.

> Fact is, after people are used to paying more, there's a new baseline and
> a new level of profit expected

If you take the chart of average home sale prices over the past 45 years,
you see mostly linear growth. 2007 was a bubble in pricing, seeing around
an 18% higher price than this trend line. The prices stabilize back to the
trend from 2010 until 2013 again, since then, prices have been about 10%
above trend until 2021 where they rocketed back up to 18% above the half
century trend.

There's been more than one mode impacting price, and whatever it is, it's
happening again. Probably worse, because we don't have any corresponding
movement in new home construction with this "bubble."

> Multiply that by orders of magnitude for real, wealthy property owners.

Then divide it by all the people who didn't do that, which I'm estimating
to be of at least a similar if not slightly greater order of magnitude. I
know quite a few of these people. Some who bought into the irrational
exuberance as an opportunity to just remodel the home they've lived in for
more than a decade. They don't live there now. The smart ones managed
to just barely break even.

Bailing the American people out is how it was sold. This is not a bad idea
if that's what they actually did. It would probably have a little more
sticking power if they bothered to put more than a token banker or two in
jail for minor indiscretions during the first pump and dump of housing
turned commodity.

Welcome changes. I like these changes since I run at higher than 2560x1440 resolution (fractional scaling in between 1440p and 2160p), and it won't look as squashed together.
I think this misses the forest for the trees; the handful of cases where they broke the law are nowhere near as deleterious as the rest where they didn't. I can't think of a better time for new regulation than a hedge fund extracting home equity from desperate people.

It isn't, and the problem is not in "hashing files" (or blocks for that matter). Checksum calculation is very cheap, especially if you use default settings (which prefer simple & fast checksum functions like crc32/xxhash instead of strong cryptographic functions like sha256/blake2 that can be enabled manually).

The real issue is that modifying large files on a COW filesystem causes it to spread that file's guts all over the disk (i.e. fragmentation), and results in serious performance loss over time.

For some reason that doesn't happen nearly as much on ZFS and it's totally fine for VM and database workloads.

Sounds pretty miserable. Come to Europe and enjoy life. Plenty of work here in Germany or elsewhere in Europe and pretty easy to get a visa if you have skills. Berlin is absolutely crawling with smart people from the US living a great life here.
It's not hard to spend some time finding a lawyer you can use for random small things earlier in life before you actually need it and have them help you out with all of this stuff. You can treat it as an assistant that knows what they are doing. Certainly way cheaper than selling your house for 33% of the real price, or even paying huge "real estate agent" fees.

Yup. I can easily imagine some third-party scam police cracking down on things like "I sold my son the family home for $1" or other similar unusual (but not scam) transactions
American M, Italian M, and European M are completely different sizes.

I wish it were that simple.

A European M is a different size between stores. Sometimes you get slightly different sizes between the same style garment, in the same color manufactured by the same company.
Americans are too busy being preoccupied on whats woke, whether teachers should say gay to kids under a certain age, and whether the same kids should be allowed to see… drag shows? Also what books can be allowed in libraries, what textbooks should say, and whether people should be able to wear guns visibly in holsters.

If you are friendlier off amphetamine, either you don't have ADHD or you're taking way too much, dude.

If you have scattered thoughts on amphetamine, either you don't have ADHD or you're taking way too much, dude.

Comments like this makes me furious. Because of misdiagnosis, or inept psychiatrists, y'all keep making the life of actual people with correctly dosed ADHD medication hell with your abuse or repeating the same story that it makes you robotic and makes you jump of the wall.

I have been 35 years unmedicated, I am on the same dosage for a year, with routine 2 or 3 days long breaks. On days off, I am perhaps a little more lazy, but as scatter brained, as slow, as tired and as unmotivated as I have been my entire life.

When I am medicated, on the least effective dose, because that is how titration should work, my mind is silent. I am more attentive to people, more patient, there is space to think and to plan. When I am medicated, I go to bed proud of what I have accomplished today. This small thing has turned my bloody life and mental health the right side up.

Jesus, every time there is an ADHD post on this forum the misinformation and ignorance around a very well researched medication abounds. It has taken me 35 years to know there was a solution to the mismatch between what I thought I could do and what I did, because of posts like this, saying ADHD meds makes you scatter brained, it is very addictive, it is hard to quit, it is ineffective, etc.
Wow, it's $499 in the USA.
>Could that one perhaps be the largest one, like Teva?

maybe, but from my experience with governmental writing it probably means that there are a bunch of companies and some smaller companies they don't want to point out for some reason have exhausted production. If it was the largest company exhausted I would expect it to say something like

"although the majority of smaller companies still have not exhausted their productive capabilities, the larger suppliers report that they cannot produce more at this time"

Also - I would generally expect that largest suppliers exhaust their capabilities after the smaller suppliers exhaust theirs - although I guess some supply chain studies probably exist that would say if my expectation is off.
Besides for also using the phrase "two cultures" in the title, those two (excellent) papers are not related to this at all.

It’s not that I enjoy returning clothes. It’s that it’s more enjoyable than doing the brick and mortar retail fitting room thing. At multiple stores the logistical burden is too heavy.

Retail: I like this shirt on rack, try on two sizes, wait one size I need is sold out. End up settling for another item that I like and has my size in store. Might be third or forth option. I might just say forget it and leave empty handed.

Online: I kind of like this shirt, I buy 2 sizes I think might work, try them on when they arrive in my house on my time, if I actually like the fabric/look in person and I’ve identified the size works, I keep one of them and return the other. If I ended up disliking the fabric or something entirely that I couldn’t tell from product pictures I return both.

That said, the logistical issues of browsing/shopping online are significant too. I tend to be somewhat brand/store loyal so that’s how I deal with it.

Has Nintendo ever talked about how they do software development? Can we all drop the thousands of books that have been written about software engineering in general and just figure out what they do?

Game aside, the reviews have been pointing out how the game performs well (after day 1 patch) and is not pestered with bugs, which is an impressive feat for such an open world game where most things are able to interact with everything else.

I mean, "often, but not always bad" was what "code smell" was originally supposed to mean: Patterns which may have a valid reason, but which in the common case show some bad design or lack of understanding.

But that's difficult to distinguish and act upon, so the meaning seems to have morphed into generic "bad thing you should never use".
People complaining about the Switch being underpowered are expecting PS5 level performance on a mobile device. Even if a new console would be twice as fast they still would be disappointed.

> So the fact that, in Go, one might rely on automatic promotion of an induction variable (which obviously gets mutated every iteration!) to the heap, and thus get confused about precisely which value is promoted to the heap, seems weird from my perspective.

Automatic promotion is not that big of a factor, fundamentally this is a common issue with closures over mutable bindings, similar issues can be observed in other langages. Most (but not all) have mitigations already because it’s such a common issue especially around loops e.g. C# breaking-changed the semantics of range loops in 5.0, javascript added “let” and “const” which have block and per-iteration scoping, …

C, C++, and Rust don’t suffer from it (ish) because one doesn’t have closures and the other two require more explicit management of the capture and its lifetime.

C++ could have something similar with capture by reference but the code would probably not be straightforward, and the more straightforward code would have much bigger issues of dangling references.
