I use a road in my 1100kg car, you use it in your 2200kg car. You cause 8 times the damage. Do you generate 8 times the positive externalities?
Most programs can barely withstand an expected user
Pretty sure you could do both with Tasker, but it's one of those tools that is almost too powerful (therefore too generalized) to be casually approachable for simple things like this. There may be pre-existing templates that gets you fairly close.

For the parked car trick I would guess you'd do something like set up a trigger that fires when your phone or watch disconnect from your car's Bluetooth and drops a notification with your GPS location that you would tap on your way back to the car to have it pull up in Google Maps.

I have a similar task set up that automatically switches on my wireguard tunnel as soon as home Wi-Fi signal is below a certain strength for more than 10 seconds (the implication being that I am departing not only the house but also the immediate area outside where my Wi-Fi still operates). As a fairly unsophisticated Tasker user I was able to cobble this together in about 2 hours by starting from a template that did something similar, including the testing necessary to confirm where the cutoff dB should be.
One of the first bugs I found in production code at my first job was caused by the dev using CHAR(n) in a temporary table, causing all values that went through it to be padded with spaces.

I understand the need for length-limited character strings, but I love modern DBMSs letting you use STRING/TEXT/VARCHAR with no limit and no efficiency loss.
Which is crazy. Use a car for 500 miles a year you pay the same as someone using it for 50,000 miles a year

Just charge on the odometer reading each year. 3p a mile or whatever. Maybe charge more based on weight.
Wow, hyped for this.

I picked up this little book from my University library once, and it was a fantastic read.
The requirements are here:

Turning off Bluetooth or wifi may be one of the more common reasons it doesn’t work. Some people never do that, but others do.
Apple and others could just as well create an accelerator card with a bunch of M2s on it.

They could also create some sort of blade server.. they print their own cups in literally everything. Phone, laptops, headset, apple cinema displays. The production cost of an M1 is about $30.

Remember that the 5-year $1.5B contact with AWS will expire next year. They already have XCode cloud, and have enabled virtualization natively for a while

Either large Mac Pro based rack-servers or accelerators for rendering, transcoding, and AI/ML.

They could market those 10x$30 chips on a single board as something that is "10x" the power of the Mac Pro, at “only” $20000 a pop.

You can be very certain that NVDA did not get unnoticed, as Apple has the same capabilities, and sees a future in AI/ML.
I don’t disagree with you. But you also don’t disagree with me either.

You said it yourself “once you get into the coding for a reasonably big frontend”. That’s a specific task and the web is not made of only big projects.

CSS is vast but also allows you to ease into it. You don’t have to master it from day one in order to use it.

And that’s the beauty of it imo. I personally enjoy working with CSS and one of the reasons why I like it it’s because after 10 years and hundreds of sites coded I still learn new things about it.
Maybe not the best example and maybe I was misinterpreting it, but Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness was VFX-heavy and it was the funniest movie I'd seen in a while when it came out. Not strictly a comedy and maybe I am too easily amused.
You've consistently asserted that most companies would find it easy to switch to remote work.

I absolutely disagree with this. At least I disagree that most companies can do so and be confident of maintaining productivity. I believe it requires a big shift in organisational and operational processes and attitudes within the company.

Then I disagree with you. If you don't know how to build a static asset server or a Vulkan renderer or an arena allocator at all, then you don't know how to build those things conservatively either.

The first pass in situations you have never been in before is always going to be completely worthless. You do not have any tacit knowledge of the problem space. Your prototype is strictly to gain that tacit knowledge, zero mental stamina should be spent on anyone that isn't between the chair and the keyboard understanding that code.

Once you've built that prototype, you use it as a reference for the ground up "conservative" or whatever other implementation strategy you want to take for the real thing.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to reply here! My own Master's thesis was also about optimising and implementing algorithms to count certain (graphical) mathematical objects, but you picked a much more famous problem than me. I'm very surprised I didn't know the definition of Dedekind numbers, although it's related to things I touched on.

I'm not too familiar with FPGAs but hope to have a use for them some day. Measuring their performance in FLOPs seems strange. How close to those theoretical limits does one typically get? Are there are a lot of design constraints that conspire against you, or is it just that whatever circuit you want can't be mapped densely to the gate topology?
I am so satisfied with my Garmin Fenix. It's comically expensive, but it has been a dream compared to the Fitbits I used for years. Garmin has lots of lower-end watches, too, which would have resolved most of my headaches and many still have great battery life compared to the competition. I haven't touched the "smart watch" features, though.

Garmin conducts themselves really well, too. They make good stuff and do little to lock it down: you don't have to use their cloud shit if you don't want (I do use it and like it), they created a peripheral standard in ANT+ that became widely adopted, without actually privileging their own stuff, etc.
I'll try some cardiovascular exercise. I find walks in nature (there's a nearby forest) significantly improve my mental health, but they're not intensive. I've already discussed going to the gym with my GP (to fix RSI) so I should be alright doing some.

I've never had alcohol and don't intend to. Never liked the smell of beer/cider/etc, and with the concussion I see no reason to try a brain-impairing chemical when my overarching difficulty is with my brain being impaired. There isn't any peer pressure from friends, since they understand why, so I've had no problems with it.

I'll ask my GP about a psychiatrist referral. I've had a referral to neurology, who booked an MRI and referred me further on to a specialist, but there's another 6 months of expected waiting for the specialist. They also prescribed two pills for trying to control the headaches, but they've both failed (side effects and lack of effect).

Thank you.

It's not: it's super quick, the fastest website I check on a daily basis, by very far. If only all the web could be like this!

Which is user tekmol 's point: "Hacker News is one of the most responsive websites I know. And it is run on a single server somewhere in the USA. While I am in Europe."

HN is great in the EU. If most of the pageloading is just the roundtrip, you've already won, no matter if your users are on the same continent as your unique server or not.
AI content today is better than the worst human writers, but only because the worst human writers are so terrible. (Think of you trying to write an essay in a language that you’ve only studied for 3 months bad.)

That doesn’t mean that LLMs are on a course to inevitably surpass the 90th percentile human writer (which is what most full-time writers presumably are). I may be a Luddite here, but I don’t expect that in my young kids’ lifetime.

Exactly. Your encryption key is stored encrypted so that we have no access to it. It is decrypted when you enter your password. We don't have access to your password, only an encrypted hash of it, so that our systems can recognize it. We cannot derive your password back from the hash.
That puts things into perspective for us in South Africa*. My RTT to Europe is about 170-180ms. It used to be a bit better, not sure what happened. But the point is that it's just barely within what I would consider "fast" in relation to Europe.

That’s like saying cargo ships are fast because they carry lots of stuff. It’s still slow in absolute terms to get my stuff from China.
In my experience this depends a lot on the organizations. If the organization's expectation is that sometimes, no tests would be ok, then quickly these people emerge who think that writing tests slows them down.

If culture is that tests are necessary, then these people hide and write their tests (or actually learn that test-writing makes sense).

I am in an organization currently that values testing overall, but being in a regulated industry its almost a little over-done, the result of that is, that for prototypes, tools, etc. the rules are weakened, leading to this weird situation where "of course we write tests, but this was just our prototype, that runs in production, for 3 years" seems to work in some departments...

A similar and also useful technique is to be able to detach and view a situation from the outside.
The point of shared memory is that you can skip a whole memcpy. You load from drive into shared RAM and use it immediately. Preferably it's stored on disk in the same format that the GPU can use so you don't have to parse.

Compare that to a PC with a discrete GPU, you have to load the texture/mesh into RAM and (possibly memcpy to a mapped buffer that the GPU can see) and then issue a copy to move it over PCIe to dedicate GPU vram.

Realistically, people aren't getting PTSD from a startup. You get PTSD from an event that was traumatic. C-PTSD is from multiple events that were traumatic. Your startup may be stressful but it's not traumatic and doesn't compare with someone putting a knife to your eye and demanding your money. You're not going to have flashbacks to reading a rejection email - you may replay it which is different from a flashback. The fact this post starts off with something as nonsensical as "knuckling through PTSD from my startup" really says where the entire posts goes and it doesn't change.
I think the DRY gem offers something similar with type enforcement
I find it interesting how computing is starting to mature. It used to be something that only the latest generation was privy of. Everything was state of the art and always changing. My parents didn't understand me playing video games, it was not something they could grasp. Now, my daughter will probably be there when the Internet is a 100 years old, some ancient invention from a generation long gone. Computing will feel very different from how it feels to me.
> For the vast majority of any task that requires writing code, performance is the least of your concerns;

Maybe, but it's perhaps not as rare as you think.

My main current project exists because development of the previous version was aborted after a year due to fundamental technology/architecture choices which it turned out would never achieve sufficient performance on the target devices.

Yesterday I was handed someone elses Android app to debug, it turns out to take 8 minutes for each (incremental!) compile for some reason. That's a performance problem which hugely slows down development.

A couple of years ago I wrote a moderately complicated one-way sync script to take data from one system and feed it into another. I had to artificially limit number of requests per minute to about 200 because apparently otherwise I was putting "massive load" on the target system causing it to auto-scale up several times. This was mostly GETs which the occasional small POST/PUT. Something very wrong there!
> As a result of the low pull of gravity there, combined with the higher gravitational pull from the surrounding areas, the sea level of the Indian Ocean over the hole is a whopping 106 meters lower than the global average"

This feels highly suspect. So any area below the average is because of this same condition? That doesn't seem likely. And if so, then check other area now that there's a theory.

The world is a (fairly) big place. Using average as a guide feels cherry pick-y or at the very least random.
Yes?

The positive externalities created by trucks shipping food into cities massively outweigh almost all passenger traffic.

So charging by weight/road damage makes no sense.
There are not workaround, pdb is a rustic tool.

Since I still enjoy a cmdline debugger more than a graphical one, I use ipdb, which doesn't suffer from the multiline limitation.

However, scoping issues with lambda and comprehension are actually a Python problem, not a pdb problem.
> Setting aside the large numbers of angry people who don't really understand how open source licenses work, our impression is that the core issue here is that there are an awful lot of people who feel that simply because this is Linux, they have some kind of right to get it for free. Unfortunately, they don't. That is not what the "free" in Free Software means, and it never was.

Something about this irks me. I realize there are some differences between FOSS, FLOSS, and open source. And I realize sometimes there’s some ambiguity there. But I’m still not sure I agree.
I think the shortest/fastest path can have value even if you didn't learn much yet, because it can provide an end-to-end platform for learning: something to show and discuss with stakeholders and potential users.

After you have that platform, the next target can be the biggest uncertainty / hardest problem that you need to solve to achieve an MVP. "We have X, can we get to an MVP?"

(After you have an MVP, the hardest problems may still await you but you can prioritize based on what increases value.)

I also find it odd. Python would probably be a little known language without the huge batteries included by default. It's invaluable when you're working in a environment where you can't fully control what is installed, what is the case of most people at work. I believe this crusade endangers the language long-term.

I'm not necessarily anti-orm.

There's a bunch of them. I'm opinionated on physical real world actual concrete versioned implementations, not theoretical amorphous relationships existing in pure thought stuff, which is how a lot of these projects "documentation" is written - as if the code lives in abstraction like some improvised jazz scatting.

That practice is pure cult bullshit.

At the time, awk was the only scripting language (other than shell) generally available on Unix systems. Perl, Tcl, Python didn't exist yet. So awk was often used for general-purpose programming.
