I woke up during an endoscopy when I was young (4/5 years). I have a pretty vivid memory of that one single moment when I came too, and the doctors/nurses panicking a bit when they realized I was conscious. It ended pretty quickly when they gave me more of whatever the anesthesia was.

I think they would fare far worse. Because of the way that our economy is structured, tech people are overpaid and overvalued, and thus have an inflated sense of their own importance which causes them to overestimate their intelligence.

The errata between baseball diamonds fascinates me. My dad used to tell stories of Clark Field[1] at University of Texas that had a cliff and a goat path in the outfield. That gave the Longhorns a massive home field advantage, and it amazes me that other teams were willing to play road games there.

I can’t imagine a football team above Pop Warner playing games on a field that has a pronounced slope or end zones that aren’t a full 10 yards deep, but baseball seems to embrace the differences in diamonds.

From the Post:

"I tried to combine what can be seen as 3 separate products into one: - WYSIWYG editor (with the addition of code-specific tooling like code editor or formatter) - Kanban dashboard (inspired by my experience of tools like Trello used in larger technical content teams to manage content production process) - The actual headless CMS (content delivery via API, integrations, etc.)"

When I make eggs in the Instant Pot, I do it on high pressure for 4 minutes, then immediately vent and plunge them into ice water. If I left them in any longer than that or even if I skip the ice bath, they'd be very overdone. I don't see how you can leave them unattended and not end up with very overdone and rubbery eggs.

In fact, if the Instant Pot has any disadvantage vs doing them in a pot, it's that the texture of the whites isn't as nice. The short cooking time that I use helps with that, but you have to be okay with not fully done yolks (which is something I prefer anyway).
The reason why they provide the payment infrastructure is because they can control everything end to end. Imagine if they allow payments outside the app and expect developers to pay 30% for those transactions. Yeah, that's not going to work. I don't think Apple/Google does payment infrastructure out of good heart. They just want to know how much an app makes and how much commission to take.

To play devil's advocate, I feel like most social platforms ban or limit most aspects of self-promotion or solicitation to other social platforms (whether out of self-interest or otherwise). Even Twitter for a brief while did this with Mastodon links back at the end of 2022.

I think most users of course don't like this as it feels like censorship, but on the flipside if I built a community and felt like users were joining my site just to try to solicit my community members to jump to a competitor, I'd probably not be too happy with that.

Beyond that, many of the older peoples, especially in villages, speak their dialect of german. for them "German" may even be a SECOND language (albeit very similar to their dialect for the vast majority..)

If Reddit is such a valuable property it would make sense for one of the big AI players to come in and buy it out before it IPOs and the value shoots through the roof. Open Ai is the most likely one given the links between Altman and the management. But a new entry like maybe Apple could swoop in. We know how useless the management of Reddit are at making money from it, a sale in it's entirety might be the best exit for the VCs and for them.
Well when the hepatitis C drug Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) was first introduced it cost $84K for a course of treatment, so $24K now is a lot less. And that is hardly the only cure: several other pharmaceutical companies have brought competing drugs to market so there are multiple options.

https://www.statnews.com/2022/12/15/prisons-cant-afford-hep-...

Branded prescription drug prices are high mainly due to patent rights. But without patent exclusivity, most of those drugs wouldn't have been developed in the first place. It now often costs $1B+ to take a new candidate drug through phase-3 clinical trials; that money has to come from somewhere and private companies won't invest in that research unless they can expect to profit. The countries which impose strict price caps on prescription drugs generally don't do much new drug development. For example, during the past few years US drug companies have launched about twice as many new drugs compared to European countries.

GPL v3 is part of it, but as I understand, back when the decision was made GCC was rather inflexible compared to LLVM/Clang which was also a big factor.

SimulaVR's Reaction to Apple
They know hardly anyone would pay for a social link aggregator and discussion board, but some people might donate a coffee to a beloved app developer on their phone. Hence the only way forward in their mind to charge for API calls. Even if it kills many of those apps, some will suck it up and charge their users. That it makes life harder for LLM competition and benefits their guy Sam is just a nice side effect. But I'm pretty confident that there will be daily reddit dumps available for training very soon as Torrent for anyone that can't afford to hide their scraping, if they not already are.
This article is incredibly disingenuous (if it's not totally satirical) in portraying her actual perceived status in Germany society and how that effects her experiences in Germany. She is not just an expat; she is not living an expats life in Germany. As the dependent of a US servicemember stationed in/around K-Town she is not at all exposed to what would be considered the traditional, expat experience. Looking beyond even the Status of Forces Agreement that provides her with the ability to be in the country "visa free", hold a job, and even provide her certain civil protections, there's the access to DoD resources and community, as well as the monetary subsidization she receives for living "on the economy". Her husband gets a substantial OHA (~$1,700 - $2,000+ per month in that area [1]), but even beyond that: they are stationed *across the country* from the places she says she can't afford to live...that's not how that works. That's not how any of this works.

I actually think this other comment on this thread says it best: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36326151. I've worked with a bunch of "Tom from Office Space" product managers in my career.

I've seen lots of product managers who basically just "facilitate" between stakeholders (e.g. between engineering, business execs, and customers) but don't actually add much value to the primary job of product management, which should be defining, in detail, how the product should actually work.
Through the fence, between the curling flower spaces, I could see them hitting. They were coming toward where the flag was and I went along the fence. Luster was hunting in the grass by the flower tree. They took the flag out, and they were hitting. Then they put the flag back and they went to the table, and he hit and the other hit. Then they went on, and I went along the fence. Luster came away from the flower tree and we went along the fence and they stopped and we stopped and I looked through the fence while Luster was hunting in the grass.

I see a lot of confusion between parallel programming [1] and concurrent programming [2] in the comments here.

The former and what this book is about deals with the problem of parallelizaing a single sequential program. There usually is strong interaction or dependencies between elements and progress needs synchronization. E.g. timestep iterations in real-time simulations that need synchronization with data communication after each timestep. These simulation also tend to get way to big to be run on a single machine, lest a single thread, and get scaled up to millions of cores/threads in supercomputers.

Concurrent programming is what most developers working with the internet are more familiar with. You have mostly independent tasks that you want to run concurrently. "A concurrent system is one where a computation can advance without waiting for all other computations to complete." [2] E.g. nginx serving thousands of user requests at the same time.

The problem domains have a lot of overlap on the basics (e.g. threading), however the focus is very different. Things like synchronization (mutex, barriers), cache locality and memory bandwith & latency play a central role in parallel programming, while concurrent programming focuses more on the engineering challenge of distributing independent tasks across multiple threads or machines.

In online games and newspaper paywalls you have on average 1-3 % valuable users. Even if Apollo made up less than 1%, those are probably the valuable ones so it could be a good chunk of those.

Content Management Systems are likes of WordPress, Ghost, Contentful and Strapi - they help you create and manage content.

Sorry, I'll try to elaborate. What you described can work _sometimes_. If a particular feature is isolated from everything else, and if the optimization step is a couple of tweaks that can be done later on, sure.

However, the dangers of applying this tactic indiscriminately are:

1. Version 2 is postponed, and a lot of dependencies on Version 1 appear. After a while, moving from V1 to V2 becomes a herculean effort, you have to do heart surgery while the heart is beating.

2. There may be nothing in common between V1 and V2. Implementing bubble sort gives you no insight into quick sort; you literally have to start from scratch. This may be acceptable if there's urgency in delivering a solution as fast as possible, but in my experience most companies have the time to do it right but choose not to (or don't know any better). Also from experience, it would be nice if people understood that it may not be so simple to "just optimize it later", and that it would be better to spend a little bit more time in the beginning of a project to consider how to foundation of the project will scale in the future.
Yup by the time Panther came out I didn’t have any problems. Having my macports env, X11, Unreal Tournament 2k4, and World of Warcraft on the same laptop felt like the high water mark of computing at the time lol
> being a talented software engineer doesn't give you any ability to understand the nuances of neurochemistry.

This is a bit of a non-sequitur based on what you said before.

Being competent or a talented software engineer is correlated with being an intelligent person, which in turn is correlated with the ability to understand the nuances of [insert topic here].

That doesn't mean that being a talented software engineer necessarily gives you the ability to understand the nuances of neurochemistry, but it is suggestive that it does, if the engineer has an interest in neurochemistry.

Also, being an intelligent person doesn't necessarily mean that you are competent or have expertise in a certain area, sure, but that is not a "logical fallacy" as the GP was saying, nor has much to do with intelligence as he seemed to be arguing (or at least, "fluid intelligence", as it is often understood).

If he simply meant "being competent or an expert in a certain area" doesn't automatically mean that you are competent or an expert in another area, then sure, I agree, and it's true that many comments on Hacker News exhibit this pattern, and this observation is often justified.

But let's not also conveniently ignore the opposite pattern, where a (presumably intelligent) person that doesn't work in a certain field can also provide much better insights than many people with many years of expertise in that same field (especially in things like, say, interpreting scientific papers, which can be legitimately hard to do correctly, for many reasons).

I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but a significant percentage of people of almost every field, even with many years of expertise, is pretty damn incompetent... you just have to step outside your bubble if you don't think so.

This includes software engineering, BTW. There are many software engineers with years of experience who don't even know what a bug tracking system or what a source code management tool are (although, not all of them are incompetent, strictly speaking). That should tell you something.

> It's true this is done for literary effect, but it does make it harder to read.

What literary effect? I didn't even notice there were punctuation issues until I read the guy's comment. Maybe since it was basically a book where most of the dialogue is between two people? It was one of the easiest and most straightforward reads of my life.

> > James Joyce is a good model for punctuation. He keeps it to an absolute minimum. There’s no reason to blot the page up with weird little marks. I mean, if you write properly you shouldn’t have to punctuate.[1]

...“to make it easier, not to make it harder” to decipher his prose. He wrote that way to make it easier to read. And I agree with him. His prose just flowed. Also, the problem with joyce isn't the punctation. Even with proper punctuation, joyce would be difficult.

But if people have issues with it, then so be it. Are there any examples where his punctuation caused issues for readers?
Very fair. I suppose writing code is more like composing piano music than practicing it
Some have different DNS capabilities.

It's more like an Arduino in the sense that the code you write is more like firmware.

It's way more powerful than a common Arduino, though. It has two 32-bit (ARM Cortex-M0+) cores, 264kB of RAM, and 2MB of flash. The Pico W also has a wireless chip that can do WiFi and Bluetooth (the standard Pico is exactly the same without the wireless chip).
Secretaries only help create value insofar as they genuinely help take administrative workload off the shoulders of people whose skills are better put to use elsewhere. In the real world, you need engineers to communicate their own work, because there's a strong overlap between "people who can read and understand code" and "people who will earn more money with an engineering salary instead of a secretarial salary". By hiring someone else to push paper, you actually impede communication rather than improve it, because now there's an unnecessary stakeholder in the middle.
