There are some people who claim some pretty questionable things, but that's a different matter altogether, and a real understanding of the differences between people is pretty important because there really are differences.

I can eat pretty much anything and not gain too much weight, without paying attention to anything, while another people can't. People really do process excess calories different: some turn more of it in to fat, whereas others just excrete it or turn it in to muscle tissue. I'm also the kind of person who can not eat anything all day and basically just be fine (I don't really get hungry fast).

I play the game on easy mode, whereas others play it on hard or even nightmare mode.
Most competitive shooter players, or rather, any genre, are absolute trash at the game.
As far as I knew they have a long standing policy to specifically not use journalists, peace corps or religious figures for non official cover specifically because it was considered pissing in the pool for everyone else.

I’m pretty open to being wrong on this one but do you have any case studies to point to that say otherwise?
This is not necessarily true. A .17 mg dose does not make anything “obvious”. Source: experienced user here.
I recently had a failing team put under me. They all have what I would consider PTSD. I often see the opinion that leadership doesn't matter, but poor leadership is one of the main of causes failing teams.
You restart the album. I was party to a screening this way back in college and while there are some things that line up with the movie pretty well but it doesn’t seem like a lost soundtrack to the movie.
Arguably, programming languages and their ecosystems are getting more complex, and the pace of change has increased rather than decreased. So you need to learn more, and more often, than you had to in the past. While some things also get easier, and you can accomplish more than in the past, I don’t think the mental complexity is decreasing. Complexity has a way of always increasing until things break, so I don’t have much hope of the general trajectory improving.

> AI teaches worse than human teachers.

As a teacher, I wouldn't say dare say that. There are many teachers who are abysmal, and even if you get a brilliant one, you don't get to take them home so they can help you understand a concept while studying at 1 am.

Just yesterday, I was reading a history of mathematics textbook for fun where I had trouble with an explanation that wasn't worded too clearly in a book. I got my questions answered in a few minutes with GPT4.
Comparing road deaths per person and per mile with the UK they are like 5x and 3x less. I'd say it's mostly road design and engineering.

It's surprising that they are. And sometimes it's a padded envelope inside a padded envelope, both having stickers with my address on them. I've also gotten packages where the stamp says "Kazahkstan Post". Geez, I wonder what the routing is (I believe they optimize for cost)..
Thanks for this. Would you recommend this to someone who is not already a markdown user or that a key prerequisite for this to be useful?
Because I like Nintendo and would like to financially reward them for their efforts?
This was not about Google Docs at all, but about Google Drive. As anybody knows, you can let 3rd party apps do extra stuff with your Drive content, but the point is: why not natively support Markdown inside Drive. Besides, text content is also content.
> We have had multiple bank failures this year.

that is the whole point. We had a top-10 bank fail, and you know what? our financial institutions did not cascade into failure.

There WILL always be failures, ups and downs, the question is how it is mitigated.
You probably mean $315k.
Ask HN: What are the layers of computing from atoms to UI?
Does anyone know of a good list of the many, many layers of computing systems?

I am looking for a list that includes everything such as atoms, transistors, firmware, OS layers etc..
If your PM doesn't use your product enough to know every single bug then they don't understand or feel your customer/user pain. Ideally when they experience a bug there is already a ticket created that they can simply prioritize. I have a deal with my QA team: On every new build once they've gone through it, they pay me $10 per bug with no ticket. If I don't find any undocumented bugs then I buy lunch.

With systemd having standardized so much stuff on sd_notify for a basic liveness check, it's frustrating that container setups can't piggy-back more on that.
"What should I deprioritize?" I've known a couple supervisors who hate this response, effectively responding in turn "nothing!" (Fortunately I did not work for them myself, just heard them complain about it.)
Before Netflix was available outside US, I had a VM somewhere in the US, with Netflix proxy (they had no issues with accepting payments from Poland).

Proxy-ing web traffic was not enough and, if memory serves, I also had to set up a DNS resolver on that machine and use it. May be easier to just set up WireGuard nowadays.
> It dials in your mental space and all the negative thoughts flood away. You're present in the moment [...] You feel a lot better about life for days or even weeks at a time [...] the focus and calm. Does that make sense?

I think you nailed it here. A lot of our mental issues are made so much worse by twisting them in this abstract world in our minds. Doing something that is so pure and requires you to be 100% in the moment kind of destroys all of that and pulls you back to reality, it can really put things into perspective.
>> Current market prices for a lot of commercial real estate seems to be a ponzi scheme

> Ponzi scheme? Yes.

How in the world are these the top comment and top reply? Commercial real estate isn't a ponzi scheme. Like, at all. In any way, shape, or form.

There are disparate actors making separate, uncoordinated decisions. There are single transactions being made delivering real value. There's no long term holdings falsely being promised under the guise of stealing short term value by adding more customers.

The commercial real estate market changed. Money is going to be lost. There are bad contracts on the books. Correlated markets are going to suffer. Leveraged losses are going to exponentiate. None of this has anything to do with a ponzi scheme.
Could you please tell me how to do this? I've been trying for a long time to export HTML documents to PDF from the browser and could never get internal links to work.

I think the Brits and the Japanese rarely say an outright no too.
In Windows Explorer you can write "cmd" (without quotes) in the address bar to open a command prompt in the current directory.
Similarly you can write "powershell" (without quotes) to open a powershell window in the current directory.

Also there is the shortcut Ctrl+L to move input focus to the address bar.
Cornered from seizing crimea in 2014 and creating/supporting two Donbas breakaway regions?

I don’t think he was cornered at all, just impatient. He’s 70 years old and the conflict had frozen for 8 years. Barely anyone even cared in western europe/US. That’s perfect for Russia! But can he really live for much longer? He may not think he has many more years to dedicate to the task.

Now the invasion has completely backfired and he is in a political corner he backed himself into. If your theory of Russian machismo is correct, he can’t back down from trying to beat up a smaller weaker country - and he simply can’t beat them.

So he has to lose in Ukraine, beat the first coup, and consolidate power simultaneously. I believe Putin will be just like Erdogan who used the 2016 “coup” to eliminate political enemies.

People died in Turkey in 2016, there was damage- but Erdogan emerged stronger and won subsequent elections. Maybe there will be Russian proscription lists and purges now.
I continue to use LastPass because I’m lazy and I never trusted any app fully in the first place. All my main account passwords are in my head alone.
You are missing the point. I am spending most of my day inside VS Code, using it for writing Markdown content as well. Apples to oranges. I don't want the author of some 3rd party obscure app looking at my content without my consent. I don't say I trust Google 100%, but I trust Google more than 3rd parties that I know nothing about.
It’s a bit of a cliché comment on HN but does mastodon/bluesky/etc have to be as big as twitter? There doesn’t have to be one conquering platform/protocol to rule all.

> Bluesky: “If you liked Twitter, you’ll love Bluesky.”

> Mastodon: “If you hated Twitter, you’ll like Mastodon.”

That actually sounds like a good niche for each of them.
These are all fairly obvious sadly. And as such are lacking in style, and grace is much harder with angry people who know what is up.

These days when I say I need to check my calendar people are instantly disappointed, everyone knows it’s beyond full.

And I can memorably remember being screamed at extensively (by a higher up outside of my chain) in a meeting 20 years ago, for asking what needed to be deprioritized.

I mean I use these all, but if people are going to be emotional about a no, they will see right through these, and you will have the same problems.
That's true. But I don't do anything illegal, I mainly want to preserve my privacy and avoid the ISP logging all the domains I visit.

This is an extreme way to look at inflation, and as far as I know, it's not backed up by studies.
As I implied, communication via "myth" is horrible. But that is reality. I don't support it, but you can either direct that myth or be the victim of it.

With regards to China, as I said, the social credit system is already well advanced (in the aggregate). Similarly, it is where I am - in the UK. People who ignore it are just comfortable in our situation and are not yet feeling the consequences. Some, at the margin, already are.

Lastly, and I would hope the following is obvious ... but right minded people are not against the bulk of Chinese people who are families just getting on with their lives. But, it's the usual story. I have very serious issues with the Chinese state as an authoritarian machine, it's policies, it's actions. I will not support it on many things, and will call it out. Just as I will not support specific Chinese people who support that state apparatus. And we're not talking about myth here.

Generalised prejudiced, violence, racism is unacceptable ... criticism of the state, and those who support it, is fair game.

When my government does things I don't support, I absolutely castigate them. I'm pleased I can just about still do that (though our right to protest is slowly being eroded here). Just as I would attack the Chinese government. The UK is demonized abroad in areas and I accept that also. This is global politics. You can hide from it, or accept what it is. Sorry, we can't pussy foot around about what lipstick each country is wearing or the impact on people. That has, and will happen. It's incredibly difficult to avoid.

This is why it is odd to me. You seem interested in the view of Chinese abroad than the actual wrong itself. That's lame to me.

Let's get to it. Let's talk about the Uyghurs. I'm interested in your views on state treatment of them. Or is that a misrepresentation too?
I wouldn’t generalize it like this. Each culture has a lot of subtleties that make certain responses rude.
that was my immediate reaction to reading that also. It's easy for the person to say nothing and then what? You haven't got much out of that exchange at all. Now you still have to say no, which was the original problem that you tried to side-step.
Allow horrible gatcha games
I agree. The OP is basically saying the engineers need to go off and do only their interpretation of a ticket with zero responsibility, while the PM is fully responsible isn't allowed to ever question engineers. Outside of the clear problems of lack of trust, the items when taken as a whole are how to destroy a team and fail a project.

Yes, there is an opportunity for '1000 true fans' type of communities, but as you said, it's not scalable enough for companies to profit off that.
Harvard is bizzaro land. I don't know what CS50s setup looks like internally, but after taking the course, and working there for a couple of decades— one full time— I think I'm pretty close.

I learned that they always have money for stuff but rarely for staff. The class seemed to have significant corporate support from Facebook and Microsoft, and probably others— both Zuck and Ballmer have given guest lectures— but I'll bet that Harvard's governance rules didn't let them hire academic staff with outside funding or something like that. They def could use it on regular staff positions— I spent years in a full-time, permanent staff position that was funded through a project partner.

The support academics in CS50 are all done by student TAs at the lowest level, or teaching fellows— grad students maybe— for lecturing or more advanced help. The staff are for things like video production, technical infrastructure, etc. There's only so many qualified students willing to do that work and no way you're getting existing faculty to do it. I'll also bet that they have rules about hiring staff to do anything resembling instructional work.

Like I said, though, I don't know what the situation is exactly but I'm pretty familiar with Harvard.
Also, the bad guys could kidnap your children and use them to force you to hand over your password.

The histrionic use of "snake oil" is silly. Only idiots think that secrets are safe under all conditions, viz, the above. The real world meaning of secure is to make it very (very, very) difficult for bad guys to get access to your stuff.

It is neither reasonable nor desirable to have some kind of perfect world where no mistakes can be made to help bad guys get caught. If this can be done with almost zero good guys being compromised, good enough.

Sanctimonious sneering about 'theater' when WhatsApp, Signal and iMessages make practical security available to the masses is, well, sanctimonious. Unpleasant, even.
Isn’t a requirement to have not taken the substance prior to the experiment? Hence placebo effect is possible.

To be clear, “mobile” is a distinct category from “handheld”. I am not OP, but to answer your question, I think the idea is that to bridge the gap with mobile gaming the Switch would have to… actually compete in that space. IOW, it has nothing to do with sales. Not many people are considering whether to buy a Switch instead of Candy Crush on their phone. If you ask me how many toasters you have to sell to prove to me you’re in the mobile gaming space, I’d reply that you’re committing a category error. You could sell 1 trillion toasters and still not succeed in “bridging the gap between making toast and mobile gaming”. This is of course a hyperbolic example, and gaming is a gradient with more grey areas and plenty of overlap, but arguably “mobile gaming” in particular is so different from the rest that it is fair to categorize quite differently. There is a good argument that it should if anything instead be compared to gambling from a business model perspective, or social media / content consumption given its expected use environment (on the bus, waiting in line, in bed, etc.).
A lot of times, i don't say no but I explain why I can't say yes.
Against individuals on foot? Sure.

Against an army of tanks large enough to take Kyiv? Only a few options. Recall that the first attempt stalled in a giant traffic jam because they couldn’t leave the road.

Ukraine has blown up a bunch of bridges since that attempt, too.

Realpolitik.

China and Russia that supply us with gas and cheap plastic and do as they're told are fine.

A china or Russia that don't do as they're told must be dealt with. No amount of democracy or freedom or lawful behavior changes that. That's why we did nothing to make Russia open and democratic and part of a global future, when they literally begged us to.
> avoid !important

Sure, haven't seen that in a while in well structured code bases.

> make everything the same specificity

How would you achieve same specificity on everything? Only use either ids or classes? No type selectors / pseudo-classes / pseudo-elements / multiple selectors? I can't imagine how that would be feasible and am not aware of anyone recommending this.
I really like its pricing, too. $10/yr is an easy sell.

Quite a lot of "Could be worse. Could be Autotools." for me.
>Agree completely with the first paragraph and disagree completely with the second paragraph. There are lots of us who use Google drive at work that love md.

That's not incompatible with the demographic being vanishingly small and not who Drive is targeting at all.

"A lot of us" can still be an insignificant number compared to the Google Drive userbase and target demographic.

Now, "more than 10% of Google Drive users" might start getting somewhere. But I doubt it's even close to 1%. Google Drive is not a tool targeted to developers especially, and developers are not that much of a demographic to matter for mass market services.
It’s hard. I’ve been on one of these kind of teams for a few years now.

We have probably 50-70 teams and well over 2000 deployable products.

There are good things, for sure. But of five teams, we’re the only one of them that is focused on the ‘customer’ (application developers).

The devops/infra teams provide ways for AppDevs to build what they need, but there seems to be no good abstractions being made.

Our team is named and presented as a team that provides common libraries, templates, ‘golden paths’, etc. But then the reality is we have barely any time for that. Instead we get tasked with projects that are indeed important from a $$$$ perspective, but it doesn’t fit well into an existing capability team.

Which is fine, but it feels dishonest to the rest of the engineers that are using our products thinking that’s the main thing we do.
There's a plugin called Remotely Save to sync files in a s3-like service (I use the 10gb free backblaze offer for it).

Setting it up was a bit of a hassle but now it just works.
Yes, well, in my case I don't have a machine to even test AVX512 on, which sorta speaks to the problems inherent with AVX512, doesn't it -- buy a high-end laptop in 2023 and still don't have AVX512 on it. Which is what led to my original comment here.

If I was getting paid $$ for this work, sure, I'd rent cloud instances or hardware to do that development. But it presents a dilemma for open source work.

Anyways, it's all griping. We'll either eventually all get AVX512, or it will die and some other more common wide vector extension will take its place, or we'll all be having the same gripe about NEON or RISC-V V extensions 10 years from now.

It's just frustrating some of the nice toys that are in AVX512, in particular nice support for bitmasking that would make the code I'm writing much nicer & faster.
Hard disagree. The top Quake Champions player right now - a German called k1llsen - is 40+.

Now, you are free to argue that Quake has been dead for a while and competition isn't as strong but the guy's reflexes seem just as good as they did 20 years ago. Yeah, he's been around for some time.

There are many formidable old school guys in their 40s, even 50s, that still play high skill games and they will kick your ass.

I'm still in the 40-50 range. My reflexes and hand-eye coordination haven't deteriorated significantly. It's not about age, it's about practice, talent, and will.

I still kick some ass in CS, TF2 and Quake. I get tired a lot quicker, of course. But it's mostly my unwillingness to waste my stamina on games rather than work.

The iOS app is similarly well done.
Helps put the fear of 'eval' in their hearts.
BitWarden didn’t lose any of my passwords (which is what I assume you meant by “corner cases”), and their UX on Chromium and iOS are about on par with LastPass, so I’m not quite sure the difficulties you may have experienced. And while BitWarden’s iOS app isn’t well optimized, considering its a FOSS solution I am more than happy with that minor trade-off. I also haven’t had any trouble moving others onto it, even the more tech-illiterate people in my life.

It’s certainly not perfect, but I’m not quite sure these issues are consistent enough to be indicative of BitWarden’s quality. I mean if its lost your passwords I would assume that’s something worth making an issue about on their GitHub?
The issues in the article are real, but then it ends with: “We have to make things better” which isn’t a solution at all.
I totally agree! That's our failure: it's not that it's not a product, it's that we didn't market it properly. Thank you! :)
From an user experience perspective, this would be the way.

At some at the company I work for, we decided to changing hashing algorithms and we did it on the fly when user authenticated again. Users were happy, we were happy.

But as someone already said here, there's a high probability that the OTP seeds were stolen so that's why they are doing this forced reset for MFA re-enrollment.
>I don’t understand why not more IT professionals advocate this software.

I can have an offline password manager that just works, for free, and I don't have to worry about backdoors or hackers or incompetence.
Seems like people can't fathom that "developers" in general are an insignificant demographic. Google Drive is used by a billion or more (including most Android users).

Developers are a handful of millions. Developers that use markdown outside of where they're forced to and actively want Google Drive to support it are even fewer.
I worked with many people I disagreed with. We would debate endlessly over how to solve an issue. I've worked with a few people who were assholes. They would lose their cool if anyone disagreed with them, and start threatening, calling names, etc...

I've been in a couple situations in my career where physical altercations even occurred.
We are already there. Pretty much every iPhone sold for the past 5 years is more powerful than the Nintendo Switch, could be used with controllers and connected to a TV. But they don't seem to bother.
