Back in the shared era, the machines were better-suited to individual customization, and were more easily understood by system administrators. Now, they're optimized too... waste more computational resources when idle?
It’s a Trojan Horse pattern, really. They give away the service for free membership with billions of VC until their competitors collapse or fade away, then they start becoming more aggressive with ads and/or charging for premium access which used to be free.
A couple of additional approaches I've had success with:

- "I can (for you), but it involves me asking a few people for a big favor, so could you confirm with your (manager / colleagues / friends) that they really want this?". I've found this a) filters out most low-value requests, b) gets your own contribution recognized.

- "I didn't quite understand your email. The choices are A or B or C, what works best for you?". Don't anchor on their request, don't even mention it, just restate the choices open to them and let them choose. Particularly where there's a clear external anchor it elides any contrast with their request "well you said X, I can only do A, sorry there's such a gap".

Godbolt will run simple programs for you. And you can choose whatever compiler you want to use very easily. Just make sure you enable 'Output... > Run the compiled output'. I think there's some randomness about what cloud instance your code gets run on, because sometimes it fails due to not having all the necessary instructions.

What is the practical difference, though? From the point of view of the entity whose atoms have been replaced, I don't think that the speed of replacement has any noticeable effect. And the previous versions are all "extinct" regardless of the speed, so from the point of view of any previous versions, the situation doesn't change either.

Statements like this stem from the fundamental assumption that rational order will be restored and we will eventually continue to live in a world that trends towards less authoritarianism rather than more.

In the overall scheme of history, it's still the safe bet, seems to me. The world has come back - come forward, if you will - from worse than today.

We can go back and forth about this. I'll counter with garbage collectors (chiefly men) having to deal with liquid trash, you'll talk about female secretaries having to deal with harassment, I'll talk about emergency frontliners having to deal with the worst of society, and so on.

And we see the similarity here: they're all relatively low-wage jobs.

The comparison here shouldn't be between high-paid jobs (doctor) and low-paid ones (nurse), rather between low-paid jobs and other low-paid jobs.

The bottom line is that those with lower-wage jobs will be the ones having to deal with the worse things, but generally-speaking women tend to take up the less dangerous, more comfortable low-wage jobs. Think teachers, nurses, secretaries against soldiers, police officers, construction workers.

> "synchronize" literally has the word "time" in it as a greek root (χρόνο/chrónos).

Oh, yeah, the simple times before everybody learned that time is a local and observer-dependent measure.

Modern computers do almost none time-based at-distance synchronization. About 2 decades ago, when I was studying asynchronous computation, hacking the chip-design process to make it possible to do time-based synchronization of nearby transistors on the same silicon crystal was a very trendy idea. It was very hard, because everything is extremely noisy, and I imagine the idea faded away, because everything is much more noisy nowadays. Doing that on any large scale is asking for everything to break.

For all of the computer-era, synchronization has being done by signaling. The millenia-old tech of doing it by time is just deprecated.
Having recently had the (dis)pleasure of getting a DS1054Z oscilloscope, I'd confidently say I'd prefer mouse/keyboard-controlled numbers on a multi-gigahertz processor PC, over a waveform-scrolling jog wheel which updates at 3 frames per second with unpredictable acceleration. Though given a processor that isn't slower than trying to run YouTube on a Pentium M, I'd probably prefer a physical knob or dial for continuous parameter control.
My wife plays solitaire on her phone and never ever plays on my PS5.

I play games on my PS5 and never ever on my iPhone.

Absolutely. For example, if you pass "-v" to ssh, it prints paths to configs that it tried to open, paths to identity files that it tried to open, to known_hosts files, etc. This info is not needed so very often, but when it is, it's incredibly useful.
It IS meaningfully different: almost everyone expects the password manager to fill in the actual password on the form, not a hint about it.

As far as I know. Maybe someone does do that?

Anyhow, password managers cost money. This doesn't.

Yeah I think we did the math and our day care costs ~11 euros an hour, which is pretty low if it was 1 person's income, but there are like 6-8 kids in the group every day, so it's something like 75/hr, which is maybe adequate: 4 groups pulls 600k/yr, you burn 360k on staff (6 nannies across 4 groups at 50k each plus an admin), rent/supplies/tech is 100k/yr let's just say, so your margin is 25%. Even if we're way off here, that's a lot of margin.

All that said, I don't really get why day care is privatized while school is public. I mean I do: it's vestigial from when we didn't allow women to work; what I mean is that if we want more women to work full time--and I know that we do because every month it seems there's yet another thinkpiece about why women in the Netherlands won't work more hours and policies floated to address it--it seems like the main things to do are give more partner leave and nationalize day care.

My partner had this great idea where both parents should get a year off with pay (maybe 70%, whatever), which is a good idea in general for couples but also would dramatically lower the load on day cares.

Either way, childcare is a huge societal enterprise; we're not gonna get out of paying through the nose for it. Basically, you can either have a low fertility rate, a very male workforce, or raised taxes for childcare; there's not really another option.
Has the EU also made poverty illegal?
>Russia does not have journalists.

This is factually incorrect and probably ideologically charged statement. Freedom of press in Russia is significantly restricted but good journalism is far from being dead. Sometimes you have to read between the lines or understand the affiliations to filter the content, but it still can provide you a lot of valuable information.
It's a bit like asking why Markdown isn't supported in Microsoft Word or Apple Pages. Environmental lock-in.
> If you find it hilarious it's because you don't understand the reason.

I think it's hilarious that you think users are supposed to understand "the reason" at this level of detail.

When we make a thing, we make choices about who it's for. Sometimes those choices are explicit. But this is a good example of an implicit choice. Clearly it grew into this shape for reasons, but those reasons are about the people doing the making, not the people using it.

Even if we grant that all of this hierarchy is necessary, it still imposes a large burden on the person trying to figure out "why is X doing Y?" And that might be fine if the makers said, "Well this is going to be hard, so what can we do to make it easy?"

But denying that users will reasonably find this hilarious (or frustrating or impossible) is just digging the hole deeper. Telling people that their understandable reactions are wrong doesn't change their reactions, it just gets them to stop mentioning the problems around you.
This is why I’m glad I did not major in CS. I would have had to take all of these prerequisite classes to graduate at all, not just to get into more interesting classes.

I guess the rules make sense, but it does seem silly that I ended up better off studying something random and getting a job as a software engineer, than actually studying specifically to be a software engineer.
Perhaps we could implement some sort of standard switches, such as --locate-conf for reporting which configuration file(s) are being read (and in which order) or --show-conf to produce a comprehensive list of set configurations.
I thought that initially, but I think the question is intentional in only describing (as stated facts, rather than as implied by labelling of "call it a soul") its properties as something immaterial that floats between humans/animals very slightly affecting their character - without asserting that it's "the real you".

E.G: A family heirloom might travel between people on death and slightly affect the character of whoever's wearing it through self-perception, but (under the assumption that what I value is self-preservation) I wouldn't sacrifice my physical brain containing the only copy of my personality/memories/etc. in order to save it.

I'd guess what it's testing would then be whether you identify this thing with a pre-existing belief of an immaterial you, or already believe you are physical(ly instantiated patterns) and that this thing is just incidental - like any other environmental impact on yourself.
Regardless of what a manager says, the evidence is pretty clear that remote workers are less likely to be promoted (just google "remote workers are less likely to be promoted" for a bunch of studies and articles), and I think most workers are aware of that.

Good point. Also, once the customer is accessing the menu through their smartphone, modern ad tracking technologies also enable pricing to match the expected buying power of the customer. This way the hospitality industry and their adtech partners can extract more value from the transaction and thus increase the efficiency of the market.

Hybrid is the worst of both worlds. You need to still live close to an office and commute 3x a week, but then you also need to have a proper office/desk at your own home for the remaining 2 days. I'd rather just go in to the office everyday and optimize my living situation for commuting, or (much much preferred) just work remotely every day with occassional company-wide meetups.

Personally, I wouldn't even interview with a company that was hybrid, even if that's unfortunately becoming more and more common.

I expected to see this answer and I would disagree. It’s true that Arcade is not plagued by the freemium cancer, but most games are not that good either. I tried it for 60 days and installed a bunch of games and don’t have a lot to show for it. The exception would be Dead Cells which is great, but I ended up buying it on Switch because the controls on iPhone are not precise enough. I also had fun with Mini Motorways but that’s it. 2 games I liked in 60 days.

I find more worthy games by browsing the paid games section.

Yeah, the waterproofing concerns me. Neither of the examples they brought up in the article had ip67 water resistance, which I consider a bare minimum after water damaging too many cheap phones. The best phones are more water resistant than that. As a meche, you'll always get a better water seal with glue than with screws or snaps. I can see this being a real issue.

Newsletter- AI Summaries of content from last week
Hi- happy to share the first edition of my weekly newsletter which will provide ~100 ai generated summaries of (mostly) tech-focused content (articles, videos, podcasts, HN/twitter threads) from the previous week. Would be great if you could subscribe and/or provide feedback. Thanks!
Are you really exporting the edits in that case, or just the finished product after all the edits have been applied? Because the latter takes up a ton more space and doesn't let you tweak the edits in the future - you'd have to reapply all of them from the ground up.
But if you make a capable student take the pre-req as a box-ticking exercise, then they often enter that class (edit: the pre-req class) way ahead of everyone else.
It's not stalled.

Ok it's not growing at the crazy rate that hit when news of the Musk twitter takeover broke. That's not a bad thing as the infrastructure couldn't sustain it, but it is growing.

I'm following @mastodonusercount@mastodon.social and it reports a consistent steady growth in the number of user accounts. As of 48 mins ago ..

12,811,208 accounts

+594 in the last hour

+2,367 in the last day

+195,778 in the last week.

.. and it's quite typical to have just over 200k new accounts a week.

Then there was the news that on the 17th April 2023 the number of monthly posts across the Fediverse crossed one billion for the first time.

Personally my timelines are a hive of activity, far more than I can possibly keep up with.

It doesn't look or feel stalled to me.
Key Network Questions
Deadly serious.

My goal is to make a build system that the majority of people don't hate.

I understand your concerns about a fully-powerful system. I know that's why Bazel is a favorite.

But Nix has the same reliability with a full Turing-complete language, and I feel like I can recover the performance by using C instead of Java.

In addition, I understand the purpose of limited languages in build systems. I really do.

The first public release of my build system (the MVP) will have the ability to restrict the power of the language, and it will do so by default because limiting power when working with other people is noice. [1]

You may ask why I make a point of power if my own language will be hobbled by default. Because users will still be able to remove the hobble if needed. And sometimes, it will be needed.

But I'll still go above and beyond; not only will users be able to choose between a restricted language or a powerful one, they'll be able to choose how powerful the language needs to be.

Only need a POSIX Makefile replacement? That's the default. Need if statements, but only if statements? Got you covered. Need functions? No problem. Need loops? Just say the word. No dynamic build stuff needed? No worries needed. Wanna go full Palpatine? Yes, Master.

In other words, I hear you, and you are right for the vast majority of cases. But for that other minority of cases, power must exist, and there is no alternative, so it will be available.

This is related to Joel Spolsky's assertion that while everybody only uses 20% of the features, nobody uses the same 20% [2]:

> A lot of software developers are seduced by the old “80/20” rule. It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies.

> Unfortunately, it’s never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. In the last 10 years I have probably heard of dozens of companies who, determined not to learn from each other, tried to release “lite” word processors that only implement 20% of the features. This story is as old as the PC. Most of the time, what happens is that they give their program to a journalist to review, and the journalist reviews it by writing their review using the new word processor, and then the journalist tries to find the “word count” feature which they need because most journalists have precise word count requirements, and it’s not there, because it’s in the “80% that nobody uses,” and the journalist ends up writing a story that attempts to claim simultaneously that lite programs are good, bloat is bad, and I can’t use this...thing ’cause it won’t count my words.

I hope that makes sense. And thank you for clarifying in your second paragraph.

Again, you're massively overthinking this. Then entire point is to not blindly accept things and instead actually evaluate claims. You can do that with domain knowledge you have, which appears to what what you're calling all knowledge. If there exists some kind of knowledge that isn't domain knowledge, I'm sure you could find a use for it too.
I think the poster is referring to governments that want to control this information too. There are often allegations that China is censoring AQI information for political purposes on iOS https://9to5mac.com/2018/01/30/weather-app-air-quality/

To those who wonder why this would even matter, it's worth considering how narrow the margins are in any racing sport.

You're talking about a 80-100km race where winner is ahead by typically only a few seconds. If you can squeeze a 0.1% gain out of some key info, you'll do far better for it.

Your driver is about to try to pass the driver ahead if him. How hard should he try? Pushing hard uses up your tires and energy. If you know the guy ahead has tires that are getting a bit worn, you know he won't fight very hard. That's a big advantage.
Wish we had a hell of a lot more of these in the USA. Especially pet-free apartments.
