> it has realistically speaking no negative side effects.

Realistically speaking, that's not true. I did some voluntary experiments on myself during Ph.D. corrections process and, besides resistance, when coupled with a lot of hard work for a prolonged time, it's certainly very unhealthy for the body.

If you regulate your consumption and pair it with good sleep, it's a boon. Otherwise, it's a slow-killing drug.
This is true of every system we live in and yet it very rarely happen because most people just want to get on with their lives and not think about it, or don’t have the means to pressure (jobs where you’re just a cog making barely enough to survive and can’t afford to lose any of the income for instance)
> It’s not that “Spez doesn’t get it!!!” it’s actually the users who don’t get it. Yeah they’re going to lose 10-20% of their users, they know. And they’re going to make 5x or 10x the revenue on the remaining 80%. Yes, it will be bland and suck for you, and it will make them a shitload of money. Not sure why this is so confusing for people - they don’t want you as the customer.

That's a good point but I don't see what about this would magically make profits rise 5x or 10x.

Like what's the value proposition here? TikTok and the like already exist. I don't see what Reddit has to offer especially since they've been very lazy offering their users anything.

> The rest is just the ex-partner making a scene after you dumped them. They’ll get tired of it eventually, if not you get the cops to clean it up and move on.

I mean, both parties can make a cold rational calculus.

Reddit can calculate they'd be better off pivoting to mindless scrolling, fair enough.

But the people unhappy with that can also calculate that they'd be better off making this process as unpleasant for Reddit as possible. Best case they win, and Reddit is forced to backtrack. Worst case, they still made a lot of noise and that likely decreases the chance of somebody else pivoting, and bolsters alternatives.

I think an unpleasant truth some ignore is that tantrums have a purpose -- they're extremely unpleasant to be on the end of, that's why they're a thing at all, because they often do have power.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that the brain has structures that are specific to a particular language.
OK, but the point of comparison was Dart/Flutter, which I suppose is similarly open.

Open source does not mean that it's not controlled by a single person or organization. It's not meant as a critique though, as the alternative I guess is a language designed by committee, which has its own problems.
> commercial value of Reddit is not in r/AskHistorians, it’s in r/aww and r/earthporn and r/mildlyinteresting

That's incredibly short sighted but probably in line with how reddit execs view things. /r/aww and /r/earthporn are trivial to replicate on any other site, /r/AskHistorians is not. It's the small subs with loyal users that build an environment where the cookie-cutter content aggregators are profitable. Oh well, all for the IPO pump n dump.
Why was this never a thing back in the day? I can see the wisdom of getting a cheap one out of the door, but certainly by the time you've got the spectrum, it seems a no brainer to release one with a nice keyboard.

Shit, it really does. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. I mean, YouTube comments and the like are rife with unintelligible prose. All those people talking in all caps run on unpunctuated sentences aren't uncommon, and those are just the ones who actually went through the trouble to try communicating in the first place.
Hey folks, just came across Grafbase's Edge Gateway and thought it was worth sharing. It's a unified data layer that connects all your databases and APIs to a single GraphQL endpoint. You can develop locally and deploy to the edge without any configuration hassle.

What really caught my eye was the flexibility of integrating different services. You can extend the schema to include services like Stripe, OpenAI, and GitHub with just a few lines of code. Imagine the power of having your payment processing, AI model generation, and source control all talking to each other through the same interface!

For example, you can use @openapi to integrate Stripe or OpenAI by defining the schema and authorization details. Similarly, you can use @graphql to connect with GitHub's GraphQL API. All this can be done with JavaScript, TypeScript, or languages that compile to WebAssembly.

This seems like a game-changer for anyone dealing with multiple data sources or services. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for ways to reduce integration time and focus more on iterating your product!
There is some benefit in sharing the user account, however there are reasons for using different identities on different forums.

But, I want to give a shoutout to easyeda.com. You can export straight to jlcpcb and it has parts integration with their preferred supplier lcsc.com so that you can do turnkey assembled boards from jlcpcb. It gets really interesting once you start designing with smaller surface mount components that might be too hard to solder at home.

LLM Kessler Syndrome.
I have the opposite view. AOP didn't go far enough.

At this point we're reaching limits of IDE support[0] and language design. New languages have been piling up increasingly arcane mathematical abstractions to try and squeeze in a lil' bit more stuff in the same number of characters, but they too can't get past the fundamental problem: there is only so much you can fit in a piece of plaintext. You can't cover every cross-cutting concern at the same time in the same piece of code, and keep all of them easy to understand and work with. That is, we are being limited by insisting on directly authoring and manipulating source code that's plaintext and a "single source of truth".

AOP solved a lot of these issues, but it was hamstrung by being deeply embedded in that "plaintext single source of truth" code workflow. It was confusing to have "spooky action at a distance" that's invisible unless you're using a properly configured IDE, but the real problem here is that we expect everything to be local in the same piece of text. If we drop that expectation - learn to work on higher-level representations of the underlying source code - then none of it is a problem anymore. AOP becomes a subset of more general techniques of authoring software systems.

--

[0] - Perhaps with exception of LLMs, which promise to be able to both write heaps of code and explain what all that code does. We can probably ride quite far in that direction, but it'll also eventually hit the same wall: no more progress until we abandon the idea of working with the plaintext source code directly.
Network effect. More and more projects, creators, friends setup a discord which brings more and more people in.

These are moderated by whoever created them, and bringing more users (followers) is the creator’s work. But people depending on discord is what discord is after.

I fully expect a bait and switch on this platform once it has captured enough users.
Reddit is not valuable for its tech, but for its content. They would buy reddit content, and likely they wouldn't need to rush making it profitable per se, as the data sets Reddit can provide would be more valuable in today AI race.

So I actually have a setup like this using a JIS keyboard Moom and Karabiner.

JIS keyboard in QWERTY mode with left thumb key (英数) mapped to cmd and right thumb key (かな) as a modal key that allows me to access a custom layer with:

- esdf as arrow keys

- w/r as backspace/delete

- a/g as home/end

I also map left cmd (英数) + esdf and w/r to behave like holding ctrl on windows. i.e. move and delete by word.

Used to have another mode with phone-like numpad mapping for number entry but never used it enough.

I then have Moom for window managment with shortcut set to ctrl + space and then the following hot keys:

- 2/3 set up for 50:50 left right split

- 1/4 set up for 30:70 split

- w/e/r for 30:40:30 split

- q/a for top/bottom left quarter

- s/d/f for even 1/3 split

- t/g for 40:60 top/bottom for vertical monitors

This is good enough for 99% of my cases.

In addition to other answers, ZX81 BASIC had a PLOT command to draw a "dot" on the screen. However since the display was character based (32x24 grid, but the bottom two lines are reserved) what this command actually did was place one of 16 2x2 black and white blocks at the particular character location (giving 64x44 resolution). If there was already a non-block character at the location it was replaced. (Also UNPLOT which was the same except drawing a white quarter-pixel). There were no line or circle drawing commands, so you had to implement that yourself.

Random RISC-V question: how do you make function calls in RV64?

I have read that 'call' in assembly is a pseudo-instruction, which uses auipc and jalr to build the destination address.

But surely that can only supply 32 bits of address? Is there a different sequence on 64 bit RISC-V? Or have I fundamentally misunderstood?
I am thinking this as well.

Reddit has a huge value for Google, and Google doesn't need to monetize APIs and even care too much about 3rd party clients without ads. The real value of Reddit is its data/content, and Google might value that more than ads for training its AI.
I hadn't seen this keyboard before, but it looks great. I like the idea of having a lot of keys on the thumb (8 vs the 4 on the Moonlander).
I think a bigger difference is that the XML is parsed by a Ruby program and the generated Ruby code is parsed by a C program.
Reddit is seriously underestimating the impact of users waning in muscle memory launching their app or going on their site. This is going to cost them way more than the $1M per year or so in missed ad revenue from users who wouldn’t user their app without Apollo. The reputational damage alone is huge. Add the angered mods and users. Investors who were considering buying into the IPO see how much power the community has, and can topple the platform, which means they will value the company less.

Caps Lock is a necessary feature.

I need my ÉÈÀÇ and I never could get a compose key working in all inputs, Caps Lock is the only reasonable alternative.
On macbooks at least left and right command keys cannot be detected simultaneously because it's a rare enough use case that they'd rather skimp the 1/4 cent on a diode. If you want modal thumb keys on a standard keyboard, JIS is pretty much your only option.

I can tell you that a bunch of the technical Reddits have just shut down. I suspect that's going to put a big dent in things because site:reddit.com is going to be dead in Google. And that's the only thing holding people on Reddit.

Turkey imports way more than it exports. This hurts more than it helps, if at all.
No, saying masks work is the ignorant position here. There is no robust evidence that community masking has any effect, and people have looked hard for it. You can easily confirm this yourself because mask mandates had no impact whatsoever on case growth as can be seen by literally anyone who looks at the public test results data.

But if you don't trust your own eyes, maybe the Cochrane Collaboration is enough for you? They published a meta-review of mask studies.

https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

Remember, you don't get to claim you're right because you fired everyone who pointed out you're wrong. It's painful to accept this, but masking was a lie from start to finish which is why the position of all the medical staff at the start was that masks don't seem to do anything and there's no evidence community masking would help. That position was correct. They changed it later for ideological reasons and the politician's fallacy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I don't have a great grasp of drugs or biological pathways. The following is my extremely lay understanding:

* The reason people started taking MDMA was that it caused their brains to release large bursts of seratonin, which felt good.

* Receptors to seratonin tended to be overwhelmed, which caused people in the short term to be unable to achieve the same levels of ecstasy, and in the long term caused them to (grow new receptors? or at least...) have a perceived deficit of seratonin; causing short and long term depression in MDMA users.

Surely, injecting yourself with the chemical that causes your brain to be happy can't just work forever...right?
Agreed. Be forgiving, also towards yourself.
Yeah I think open addressing with linear probing is definitely the paradigm I'd choose if I wanted to build a "simple" hash table for educational purposes.

It well enough and is conceptually probably the easiest approach to grok with relatively few pitfalls.
higher-level models are not just for efficiency (though they are mandatory for that: quantum mechanics is intractable to solve directly for even a carbon atom). They also are important for understanding. These two problems are much bigger in terms of applying the standard model for the purposes of 'explaining everything' than the problem of the edge cases it does not explain accurately even in principle.
I watch elixir from a distance and don't have that much practical experience in it but this looks like it's too hard to read in order to be that useful imo.

At least I wouldn't use it mostly because of the paranthesis and I really do hope that it's going to be optional if it were to be implemented. I do write code in typed languages on a daily basis but I do think it's overrated especially here on HN. I like that Elixir is dynamically typed and I think that it's just something that's not really in fashion at the moment but it will come around, eventually.

mmh. i used to be going this path of " structural graph about your opinions on things and others ", about 10 years ago.. then abandoned it because semantical web was nowhere near usability of any kind (Solid did not exist), etc..

so, i decided to just not try anymore. sad but..

>Objectively they have. I've linked already some evidence in the other reply in this thread.

I don't see it. Maybe we (our class) were taught wrong, but back in uni I would rate the usefulness of our FP class as one of the worst. I got the sense that most of the students (that passed the class) weren't able to use what they studied in the class. If they took away anything from that class, it would be that they shouldn't touch Haskell again.

FP is useful, but I would argue that imperative is easier to learn, because keeping track of state is easy when you're learning. You're dealing with small programs that you wrote yourself. Keeping their entire state in your mind is not difficult.

Also, I think there's a joke somewhere in here about learning Java ruining the 'state' of your brain for learning FP.

"...up to half my walking time is spent waiting for traffic lights,"

Because the computer was built to a price and there's no way they could have included a proper keyboard for that price. The ZX81 kit was £49.95 (£204 today) or £69.95 assembled (£285 today). Note that 15% of the price was tax, and if sold through retail probably half went to the shop.

(I'd love to see a full 1981 BOM for the ZX81, but finding old prices of components is tricky)
> What is left is the added value within Turkey, which has become cheaper because of the Lira drop.

Does this follow necessarily? If wage-earners have a fair degree of bargaining power or if wages are indexed, then the decrease in value of the lira will result in an increase in nominal wages. And in a condition of steady but substantial inflation, currency can be reduced to a medium of exchange rather than serving as a store of value - or in the case of contract negotiations, as an indication of the future value. Chances are, wage earners and others contracting for future delivery will just naturally take inflation into account when arranging the contract. Their payments might be in lira, but they way they set their prices is derived from the lira/euro exchange.

This is all basically what anti-inflation hawks mean when they say "we have to prevent inflation expectations hardening" etc. They want people to believe that a dollar today will have about the same value as a dollar next year.

So if you have a generally stable currency that depreciates and finds a new level, it might make the economy more competitive. If you have a currency that regularly varies, sometimes up, sometimes down, a depreciation might not mean much to its competitiveness (because an investor expects that the depreciation today has no relation to its value next year). And if you have a currency that is steadily declining, well, everyone has already accounted for that possibility so relative prices quickly adjust to return to the previous levels.
It makes sense to add this context. But I still think the advice and explanations in the blog post are more generally applicable than just to GitHub projects.
> I would not assume the OECD methodology does not take account of the aging.

And here you would assume very wrong.

OECD does indeed estimate excess mortality simply by comparing to the 2015-2019 averages:

"The expected number of deaths is based on the average number of deaths for the same week over recent years (in this case the previous five years, 2015-19). This baseline could be considered a lower estimate of the expected number of deaths since both population growth and an ageing population would be expected to push up the number of deaths observed each year."

"Importantly, given the impact of COVID-19 to the overall number of weekly deaths in 2020, the
average deaths for the period 2015-2019 continues to be used to calculate excess deaths in 2021,
and still applies as the base for 2022 and 2023 excess deaths."

From their: Methodology_All-cause-Excess-and-COVID-19-deaths_OECD.pdf

Which you can find from https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=104676 when you try to find their notes for methodology.
Agreed. Better to reflect honestly and stop, take the valuable lessons. I try to have fun working on my projects, and not think about the end result all the time. If you are not motivated by money, that is a lot easier of course.
