Grades might not correlate with aptitude. Actually, a lot of grade inflation going on in K-12 education. Straight A’s aren’t enough to get into even UW these days if you are coming from SPS.

That an aptitude test correlated with family income isn’t weird, kids with well to do parents generally get more instruction, resources, and pressure to do well on these tests. All of that is useful in developing actual aptitude, although it is still very unfair.
In theory, yes. That's exactly how it would work - after whatever time you've set a nominated person gets an email allowing them to change your password and all authentication methods so yes, you could potentially get it back this way. Haven't even thought about it tbh and I have it set up.

The current reddit seems to be written in js/python. I can see the logic behind js since its a lot easier to find devs and thanks to all the hard work of the engineers behind v8 its not a slow language. I do not understand why python was chosen though. If you need more speed you would go with c++ and not python which is the slowest popular language.

Anyone got any insight into why python was chosen?.

If r/keyboards devolves, sure, someone can create r/seriouskeyboards, but that doesn't mean anyone will join them. First, there are already X orders of magnitude subscribed to r/keyboards; second, if a new user is looking for a group on keyboards, they're more likely to investigate r/keyboards than r/adjectivekeyboards.

"If you don't like it then make your own" ignores all of the realities involved. It's arrogant and dismissive.

MathB.in, a simple pastebin for mathematical snippets, went in the opposite direction. It was first written in PHP and then later rewritten in Common Lisp. See https://susam.net/blog/mathbin-turns-ten.html for the full story.
I imagine because it's obviously "fast enough" performance-wise, and an order of magnitude faster dev-wise and hiring-wise.
No doubt in real life he's a smart guy. I don't dispute that. It proves my point even more - when on Twitter, even the smartest people get reduced to playing the dumb hot take games.
> A less productive person, like the author, measures against the top performers. But the top performers measure against themselves.

I think that is doing the author a disservice. My read is not that he measured his self against top performers per se, rather he happened to observe his performance relative to others and it was a wake up call that allowed for the self reflection that is necessary to improve.
Isn't this the PAST... something along the lines of: "spent some time to fill the database with data; any data; make it up if you have to". This would've worked long before AI, except now just a bit more efficient?
But that's not accurate. If they wanted to profit off of it, they would have chosen a more reasonable price, which would still keep 3P clients alive, but paying a bit more than they earn through ads. They chose to set the price so high that it's not possible to run a 3P client anymore. It's not a profit motive, it's only about consolidation.
Is that true? South Seattle is full of poorer Asians who also do worse at school than Asians in north Seattle who are richer. If you go to Asia the inckme correlation is even stronger than in the USA. Poor country kids in China perform just about as well as you would expect compared to rich city kids.
I think you miss the point (or I misinterpret it).

What he is saying, is that success has a price. If you want to achieve something great, you need to work your ass off (well, unless you're inheriting a fortune or some other unusual situations). When you work in a job where giving your best doesn't make much difference - that may be not obvious. But if you are working towards meaningful, it does - a huge one.
All well and good, but we have such aggressive drug-driving laws and overzealous police here that if you do manage to be prescribed some of these medications you basically need a full-time driver, and stable employment, as we also have mandatory work or interview requirements for our unemployment benefits which you likely won’t be able to meet without a car.

Some parts of our government are very forward looking, meanwhile others are incredibly regressive, and we have no laws to reign in the latter.

My mail client is Gmail and my mail provider is Fastmail. Fastmail is great, especially if you have many email addresses.

I love Gmail/Cal but don't trust Google's long term offerings. Fastmail means I have my mail in two locations.
Yes, unless they shut down with some cash left, which they will likely be obligated to return to investors/creditors.

It doesn't matter - even if you're the only one to know the trick, once you start dumping large amounts of gold on the market, its price will start to go down. Gold isn't something that gets easily used up, so the more of it is in circulation, the cheaper it gets.
A bit risky if you don't use it frequently, you could cause others in your family distress should you for some reason not log on for the period of time set. Perhaps a good idea to inform those people that you are doing this at the very least.

Here is how a small company has done it: https://puri.sm/posts/breaking-ground/.
I might be one of the few with full experience (assuming the rest who have used it start-to-finish are dead).

I accidentally let mine trigger a couple years ago. It was on a Gmail address that my family knows is me, but I don't sign in very often, and I must have let it lapse.

Six family members each received slightly personalized "if you're reading this..." emails that I'd composed, and a couple of them were granted access to the account. I realized quickly what had happened, because I set my main email address as one of the recipients, and I reset it within about an hour.

Fortunately, I don't have any skeletons in my closet that I plan to disclose on my deathbed, so these emails were a lot closer to boring checklists than poems or confessions.

Everyone got the mail, but nobody panicked (or actually even acknowledged it), and as far as I know nobody used the account access.

This was an unsettling "what if I threw a funeral and nobody came?" moment. But it also showed me that many people just don't read their email that frequently.

I still think the feature is wonderful, and a great way to conveniently handle one element of digital-estate disposition. But the message does risk getting lost in the stream of crap that is most of today's inboxes, so I'd also recommend a Plan B.
How this article does not mention SSE, comet or chunking escapes me.

What does their definition of event-driven really look like in practice.

Nobody has a clue.

Here is the ideal event driven system, it's async-to-async: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki/Fuse

The example is not working because I had to shut down the services for multiple reasons, but the high level of it is that you use 4 (potentially different) threads to do one request/response middle man transaction.

That way you have _zero_ io-wait or thread idling. I'm surprised nobody has copied this approach since I invented it 10 years ago. I understand why though you need your entire chain to be async and that means rewriting everything and that is a big risk when it's hard to debug.

But if you succeed you can build something that is 10x perf/watt than all other implementations. Which is going to be important when interest rates go higher and crash our entire industry.
Yes, I'm talking about practical solutions, similarly like Halting Problem doesn't have a solution according to the CS, but there are practical solutions like the one used in Ethereum with its gas-based metering, or disallowing recursion or unbounded loops.

Some practical solutions:

- reduce code variability, by removing similar/alternative programming constructs / flexibility syndrome

- stick to a single programming paradigm

- remove syntactic sugar, or provide a clear rules to reduce it to a sugarless canonical form

- use a rich standard library (to avoid reimplementing the same functionality in different ways)

- use rich standard data types (to avoid definition of the similar types in different ways)

- sort every unordered construct, similarly how AWS signature sorts the keys before calculating the API call signature

- reduce the use of macros, custom eDSLs, or highly personalized code (by making writing this kind of code inconvinient)

- etc.

That's 5-6 billion over ~140 years. The operating costs of the Swiss Zwilag facility are similar.

Storing the waste on site is cheap as long as the reactor is operational. The facilities and the staff are there anyway. It gets more expensive once the reactor stops operating. You can't just leave the high-level waste there for anyone to steal, and you should also work proactively to prevent leaks.

Well, given complaints how much 3rd party apps cost them, they’d better off optimize their crap first.
I honestly can't believe the good faith people are willing to afford spez at this point.

I can see it, it's the "temporarily disenfranchised millionaire" effect in front of us. Some here have said as much: "But surely he has a plan/knows what he's doing/it's all calculated". Or you know, he's a narcissistic liar. For fucks sake. (Insert the article about his doomsday prep and how he won't be a slave. You can't make this crap up.)

Idk, I have a nose for bullshit and it went off a long time ago.
Your "Upvotes appreciated. Please give me karma." in Discord is not okay by HN's rules, though.
But that assumes that productivity measure is accurate - which is almost certainly bullshit most of the time.

I'm perfectly fine with wanting a work / life balance and choosing a job just for the easy money. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. 40, 35 hours per week, maybe 30 hours - depending on the country.

But whenever there is a job where the 'productivity' can be directly evaluated - say some parts of finance world, sports, startups, cooking come to mind too - it's crystal clear, that it's people who dedicate their lives to it that accomplish the most. And it's not even close.

Good list! I'll add:

- People to notify of your death. You may have online friends who won't have any way to know why you've disappeared.

And for tech enthusiasts:

- If you host something like a blog or side project that you think people would still find useful after your death, list someone who can keep it online, and any relevant hosting information.

- If you maintain popular open source software, make sure you aren't the only one who can upload to npm etc., or update the official website.

I (edit: I mean, "we", of course) did relax the German language requirement once, and did find talent from eastern Europe, but for the whole team, it just felt too awkward having to segregate meetings between English and German speaking crowd. Both sides had shown some inflexibility. Especially older Germans finding it too much trouble having to speak English and complaining that they can't fully express themselves, while the few English-speaking complaining about the poor quality of the generated subtitles and leaving, in the extremely rare (once or twice per year) event that they got invited into a German-speaking meeting (things like Townhall meetings and such, nothing too important).

So after a year or two, most left.

On the other hand, many new graduates are complaining that they can't find a job, while most of them fail at fizzbuzz (I hate the silly brain-teaser interviews just as the next person but fizzbuzz, come on!), rest get totally demotivated when they hear that they can't just code 100% greenfield projects and/or show zero interest in learning anything that's not React.

I'm known to be lazy, but I came here 14 years ago as the kid who develops small business sites in Perl/PHP and had the motivation to learn German, learn all the -ends (back, front, embedded, had the "chance" to do weird stuff with RFID gates and such), learned to do ETL stuff, involved in consulting, architecture and so on... Many colleagues did the same as well. Currently in a lead position but I've learned a lot how the Java ecosystem works and involved even in JSF in my current job!

My point is, I never had the worry to be irrelevant because there were always something next, but currently most juniors just want the one true and tested way to go forward.

I sincerely don't get why.
Some ~30 preparatory bcachefs patches have been posted for review for a month or so now, there was some discussion, but mostly negative discussion.

Interesting,
In a near future will we see headers like: "X but completely free forever" instead of "X but open source"?

Just curious.
that's all rather, heavily dependent on lucky combination of at least 2-3 mappings - what 1) X-server/graphical-env converts your keyboard into, then what 2) console/terminal converts that into, and then what 3) app (vim or bash or whatever) running inside terminal, decides to map (and there maybe more layers before, inside, after or instead of these - e.g. hoping 0) kernel transparently passing stuff to 1). e.g. If running without X/graphics, then first is replaced by kernel's keyboard processing ; or if running graphical Vim, then 2+3 are replaced..
(ah, and the dual/multi mode-ness of vim adds extra layer inside it - making say ctrl-U to do undo always isn't that easy)

Each of those layers can vary, in different distro's, terminals, versions of same thing, etc. Especialy each and every (X-)terminal-thingie having different idea of how to map (or not) ctrl-F2. Some of them going back to the 197x ..

i have tried to make myself a one-mapping-fits-all (say, pressing F2 does ls -alF in terminal+shell, and saves-the-buffer in vim, no matter what/where/when), collecting variants and combinations for last ~25+ years - incl. linux-console and even dos mapping.. and it works mostly.. but still, no silver bullet.

everything may be remapped to your liking.. eventually. YMMV.

Imho the job market is still very good. Loads and loads of people are getting hired. Little worse on the conditions, but frankly nothing to complain about, and nobody that wants a job is going without.

It's just that it's a leaky bucket and a LOT of new jobseekers have been poured in at the top, certainly in a few locations. It will take some time for them to all get processed. But we'll be back to an empty bucket soon.

Third, education has gotten a lot worse. I find it baffling but Germany is producing less software engineers than they were 10 years ago. It's absurd, but true. Yet the need for software engineers hasn't gone down one bit.

Plus, all of Europe is turning racist more and more and more. And one slight advantage of that is the decreased mobility. Please take note where you are in Europe, because moving is rapidly becoming a harder and harder. BUT this does mean competition for jobs is going down a lot. But if you're looking to move somewhere, now's the time, for you might not have the opportunity in 10 years. Hell, I'm starting to wonder if there are going to be limits on moving back soon.
If it is at market rate, the two options have the same value. Now if you have options on the payment schedule, that makes it more complex to value, as there is additional optionality. But the fundamental pricing of fixed incomes securities is such that the discount is exactly the same value as the value of paying off slower.

I would like to add: If the GP goes for any JS based solution, they should make sure to serve the JS themselves, and not outsource it to 3 CDNs. For us not liking JS too much people, the next best thing to no JS is little JS server by the website's server itself. Best with most of the website already rendering without JS, so that we see things when hitting the website and may consider it worth allowing its first party JS. Being able to see the website and get what it will use JS for goes a long way building trust.
Wow, I didn't expect that:

> In 2021, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen Z young adults (ages 18-59) were 34% more likely than older adults (ages 60 and over) to report losing money to fraud, and some types of fraud stood out. Younger adults reported losses to online shopping fraud – which often started with an ad on social media – far more often than any other fraud type, and most said they simply did not get the items they ordered. Younger adults were over four times more likely than older adults to report a loss on an investment scam. Most of these were bogus cryptocurrency investment opportunities. And this age group reported losing money on job scams at more than five times the rate of older adults. Many college students reported that they were scammed after getting a message at their student email address about a so-called job opportunity. The median individual reported fraud loss by people 18-59 was $500 in 2021.

Twitter was headed straight to bankruptcy though… what would the valuation be, of a bankrupt company?
My reading of these excerpts from the mythical man month is slightly different:

Increasing the "number of shots" per unit of time doesn't buy you anything if the shots you take yield proportionally lower output. For example, in the days of punchcards and batch processing, if you were unsure about the syntax of one line of code, you wouldn't have just run the compiler, as it meant wasting an entire cycle. So the productive output of one run of the compiler back then would have been much higher than one run of the compiler nowadays.

Also, hitting a wait-state on any one task doesn't necessarily block the programmer as a whole, and doesn't necessarily decrease that programmer's throughput. You could imagine a scenario where a programmer is on ten projects. Whenever they get blocked on project A, chances are high that among their other nine projects, there is some project B that became unblocked while they were working on A. ...so, in theory, the programmer would never themselves be blocked, they would always have something productive that they could do, and the throughput of an entire team or company could remain unaffected.

The reason why there's negative productivity impact to organizing work in such a way has to do with "context switching overhead" when a programmer needs to context switch between different tasks/projects, or, if you will, a kind of "cost of retooling" a programmer's brain to focus on a different task.

It's also a productivity trap for psychological reasons. On one hand, you have the positive psychological impact of "flow state" which requires immediate feedback. On the other hand, you have a situation where, every time you have to wait for something, it's an invitation to focus on a distraction instead of something productive.

And then, last but not least, the amount of time a project takes to finish (talking latency now, rather than throughput) is a function of how densely you can schedule the tasks that are on its critical path, and if the programmers are actually in a position of having to context-switch a lot to stay productive, then that would introduce a lot of wait cycles into the critical path, unless it were counteracted by deliberate planning of the kind which is extremely hard to do, unpractical, and would come with its own overhead.

I think it's things like that which Brooks must have intuitively grasped when he made that statement.

The trick is not how much you work but on what you work.

1 hour in the right direction is worth an infinity of time in the opposite direction.

So letting your brain rest and melt the direction you should pick is leverage to infinity.

They made plans to enforce manufacturers to provide updates for longer (3/5 years for OS/security updates) [1]. Though you might argue that 3/5 years is not enough, this seems like a more effective way to elongate the lifespan of an average user's phone who might not be comfortable with installing and using an alternative OS.

Not sure what the latest update on this is. IIRC the planned penalty was to make the manufacturer give full refunds to the consumer for devices that violate the requirement.

Where did you find the time for this? That's 14 hrs per day with a two day weekend or 11 hours over seven days.

The 5 day week is 8am to 10pm which is just insane while I could probably do seven days for maybe a month, I definitely couldn't sustain this for fifteen years.
