> I think it's insane(?) to give developers top-of-the-line hardware, because such hardware is not representative of the user population

But a developer's needs are radically different from the user's needs. In typical web dev, the developer's machine is playing the role of the client machine, web server, and database server, all in one. On top of that you'll probably be running multiple editors/IDEs and other dev tools, which are pretty much always processor and memory hungry. Even for desktop development the dev needs to be able to run compilers and debuggers that the user doesn't care a thing about. If you truly care about the low end user experience then you need to do acceptance testing against your minimum supported specs. It's pretty crazy to intentionally hamstring the productivity of some of your most expensive employees.
>But he also drives Teslas himself, so he has a vested interest in them being safe

You say this in the comment section of an article about the death of a CEO in his own craft because he ignored safety warnings.

"Hoist by his own petard" isn't even a new saying.
Okay fair enough. My comment is geared towards the larger context of people claiming the government has secret antigravity UFOs.
I’m over 50. We had lots of card/board games 50 years ago. And we called them games.

Without dynamic memory allocation? I think you'd need at least O(n) memory to store enough state to go exponential. But it's some time I did complexity theory; I could be wrong.
I hate musicals and I didn’t enjoy this one. And I don’t know the time warp.
Were American GI peasants pressed into service? Were SS stormtroopers? Were the 300 of Thermopylae? Were the french cavalry massacred at Anjou or the long-bowmen who dealt them defeat? Were the jihad armies that swept away the oldest empires known to Earth, or the Cossacks, or the Keshik? You seem to be projecting a caricature of history based on some idealized medieval European society over all of History.
Uniqueness and the context is that we were modelling a chat conversation, so the limited precision presented issues with messages occasionally appearing out of order.

That also applied to our test suite so the choice was to use KSUID but still index a timestamp for accuracy, or just use an alternative with more precision.
>The “non-earth” origin is the smokescreen

Or, is the credulity in the US at such a high point that any sort of conspiracy idea has currency?
To add to this, I've noticed a lot of the material that gets declassified, that is purported to be evidence of aliens/psychics/magic/etc, is in the form of field notes or case studies that either contain full quotations or summaries of what someone else claims is true, but are not actually experiments or demonstrations of what is claimed.

For example, you might have a declassified CIA document that's being distributed as evidence of psychic phenomenon, but upon further inspection, you'll find isn't the case. What you instead see is documentation along the lines of "someone made a claim about X, here's what they say about X" where X can be "I can read minds" or whatever. At no point is there an actual scientific test of this, the document is just acknowledgment that someone said some outlandish things to government investigators. Then years later those notes are declassified and somehow become evidence that X really happened.

It's like reading a police report about someone who took too much methamphetamine and ran around claiming that they could fly, and then using that police report as evidence that the government knows people can fly.
In the "real world" if you walk past a convenience store that looks open, its automatic front doors slide open, lights are on etc, and you go in and look around... do you think you're committing some sort of "fraud" because the owner says it's actually closed and you forgot to scrutinize the posted hours? I don't think most people would agree.

And that's what I would call "trash security" and the owner's own damn fault if they're upset that people walked in and looked around.
Ask HN: Why is Notion so slow and getting slower?
Speed is my most important usability metric. Every day I use Notion for work it feels like it's fighting me. I'd assume user testing would show that users carry about being able to do their work swiftly.

Am I the outlier? Does user testing show otherwise? Why is Notion so slow and why aren't they improving it?

I'm going to put my trust in the engineer who was overridden and fired for calling the thing a death trap before it killed five people. The thing was down-rated to 3000m and then it was used at 4000m therefore it imploded. I'd call that a management flaw more than an engineering flaw.
Are you trying to say an AI could generate a likeness of a real child? I’m sure it’s possible to get close especially since it generates images of celebrities very well.
A recent study in New Zealand found that blood lead levels of 3.5 micrograms / dL, which is the lowest easily detectable level, were associated with a drop of 1 IQ. People during the times of lead paint and leaded gasoline often had levels of 80 micrograms / dL. It seriously messed them up.

An admirable tactic, but a lot of services can spot those virtual cards because they "identify" as if they are pre-paid (and maybe they are in the backend, I dunno). Same trick as using Google Voice number for SMS/phone: it identifies as VoIP and more than a few sites give me the "hey, what are you trying to pull giving us a number we can't spam endlessly?!"
That's quite a novel display. It's like a "smart" monitor with it's own built in privacy filter. I wonder if that was one of the initial applications for the display technology, and if there are any organizations out there using them for that purpose. From a security standpoint, I think it would make sense for guard stations to use screens like these so that security-related information cannot be snooped by eavesdroppers. Similarly, ATMs or other public terminals where people might be inputting/displaying sensitive information. Who owns the IP for it?
> Just as much reason to believe it would be lower than higher.

That seems like some wild calculus. Fewer people willing to accept lower pay and be stuck at a specific company = higher pay. There's no other way to make the math work, particularly for extreme-demand positions like SE.
Ok, sorry for assuming your intent. No, its nothing like that. They are all the distro provided stable versions installed as "regular" applications.

And it seem to be the start up process that differs, as putting them all in a ram-disk does not alleviate the issue, and restarting the app cuts the time in ~1/2 but equally for each distro.

My guess, as I said first is what default libraries as loaded, and possibly how they are configured. I do however find it strange that this has not been mentioned elsewhere as I've been struck bu this difference for years, when I happen to load a pure Debian install (not what I usually use).
That isn't reality. You give up privacy all the time in exchange for things. And even with e2ee you don't "have" privacy guaranteed.
I don't understand your comment. Russia has no real capability to fly surveillance aircraft over US territory. They can barely manage to fly to Syria without breaking down.

if Congress knew how to work at all, computer laws from the 80s would be updated, they'd work on some sort of hit/git way of submitting bills such that we don't need huge omnibus bills and can singularly insert little things as needed or update and see a full change log.

They'd also ban all politicking outside of an election season on social media, the news, etc and only allow talk about issues affecting the country and Congress that are under their pervue.

They'd also have better rules about etiquette in Congress and if you defy the rule there's a 5k fee, that goes up 1k every time you repeat. Congress should function a bit like a court room.

Filibusters should've never been knee capped, and they should be focused on laws that really benefit Americans, before corporations, not take money from rich donors, etc. For example if Congress worked, A life saving drugs like insulin would be price regulated. At least after the drug is break even with R and D costs, then allow a max 150 percent markup. Current markup is 1700 percent iirc.

If Congress worked they'd figure out a way that everyone can receive guaranteed healthcare. Every other country does it. They don't want to, because insurance lobbies don't want them too and they pay them their weight in gold.

If Congress worked they'd realize the more money people locally have to spend the more money gets spent. fuck, even Henry Ford understood this concept, essentially it's the reason for the 40 hour work week. Without leisure time he postulated that people wouldn't buy cars because they'd be too worn out. He was right, far sales rocketed.

Middle class and lower class generally spend 90 percent of their income and most locally to the country or their own city. Money doesn't trickle down, it flows up.

Congress is contributing to the polarization of America, you can look at congressional sessions over time and they've evolved to this cesspool that Congress is today, just compare 96 with today or 2006 even.

If Congress worked they'd see the value of ranked choice voting. Even if it cost them their job. Even if it led to many third parties winning elections, hell especially this. The founding fathers knew the two party system would be our ruin but didn't have a plan to tackle this, but they cared about our future. Congress cares about today and maybe 2 years from now max, otherwise global warming would have more focus, though I guess tomorrow is catching up with us on that one.
Russia's documented strategy for foreign propaganda campaigns includes a few steps where you undermine people's trust in increasingly core pillars of society.

For example, they often start by undermining trust in media organizations, then elected leaders.

The current trajectory the US is on is indistinguishable from the successful outcome of a propaganda operation based on that playbook.
Religion is somewhat a concern, but it's completely dwarfed by issues around the religiosity of non-immigrant populations.

Big tech has _way_ better tools than what most companies use. At Amazon so many concerns were taken care of for you like:

* How do I setup a new project?
* How do I build code?
* How do I pull internal dependencies?
* How do I publish artifacts?

Every company makes a horrible copy of these systems with off-the-shelf tools. At Amazon there were certainly flaws in the internal tools, but overall it was much better than the "real world".
Even if 3M/Dow etc paid out a trillion dollars tomorrow, we'd still have the health problems to deal with.

And those are managed by quantifying your risk and taking steps, if necessary.
Watching the making of one of the Frozen films, and the making of a Pixar film early in their history, Frozen's process struck me as similar to Pixar's approach to collaboration, but on acid. I immediately felt Disney and Pixar were at the end of their run—there was no one in the process saying "this process is broken".
You're making the same mistaken assumption everyone else makes-- obese people are obese because they're lazy/unmotivated, as if there is only one reason this happens to them. It's Boomer logic, and should be dismissed since they clearly failed to solve this problem themselves. There are many different reasons for obesity and sending everyone to fat camp won't solve anything.

Group 1 are the lazy people. Obesity is a behavioral issue for them. They eat because they overate for some time, and they are now prone to hunger because of it. Lifestyle changes do help this group-- the stomach contracts and they start to subsist off of smaller portions because they're not filling an enlarged vessel. FWIW, my own doctor recommends drinking water as a replacement for food, to satiate the oral fixation of eating. It fills the stomach just the same and you go through the same motions.

Group 2 are the people who overeat because of some dopamine deficiency. We look at what they consume, horrified-- carbs, fats, sodium, sugar. Think about it: these are all party foods. Parties are where people have fun, and fun makes us happy. This leads to a deadly spiral of eating increasing amounts of unhealthy food that elicits positive feelings and discourages you from ever leaving your bedroom. Lifestyle changes could help this group, but the underlying issue needs to be addressed. Diet/exercise/sleep doesn't relieve you of your loneliness or struggles to pay the rent.

Group 3 is genetic predisposition; some people just retain water/fat/etc. more than others. Exercise as a first step does not help, and stresses their taxed cardiovascular system. Diet is not a factor. These people need to be on medications like spironolactone and ozempic, not treadmills-- the latter will kill them.

These are just the cliques I've identified by association; I'm not a doctor, but I play one well enough to know the problem isn't as simple as you make it out to be.
>fully aware that it could mean their death and just... not caring?

The reality is that these people have ZERO proper understanding of risk, because they've never actually been allowed to fail in life, so they regularly make stupid choices and dumb mistakes that normal people with normal experience would not, because many normal people have functioning risk management.

Then also remember that "for some reason" these kind of people run everything.

Oops, I meant I “grudgingly” setup a Discord server (and happily released the game). Sorry that was very unclear now that I’m re-reading it!

Having said that: you’re right that once I released it, I suddenly had thoughts about how well I thought it should do, and those were hard to quell.

Edit: Discord did end up being the right thing to do, however. That’s how I was able to connect with many of the players (that I probably wouldn’t have gotten a chance to talk to otherwise). My only gripe with Discord is the “walled garden, but somehow de facto communication medium” aspect.

The system wouldn’t need to be exhaustive. The data that is already in databases would probably suffice to get started.

The system would be tailored and refined by individuals and groups.

There would be a mechanical turk aspect for graphing/validating “recipes”.

Yea I was on the internal side, not outward facing production apps. They have and are building their own versions of ENTIRE companies for internal use. It’s a marvel to see. But the blue app? I can’t speak to that one on the internal side, but I’d agree with you there as a customer.
So politics is not about manipulating people into wars to benefit the rulers but it is? You're all over the place.
I would never live in the US, but I'm free to be angry at what the last 20 years of provincial and federal governments have done to this country -- especially the under-regulated real estate market which is out of control relative to the rest of the G7 and driven cost of living through the roof.

Not so much for me as I'm mostly mortgage free at this point, but for my kids someday, I despair.

That, and underfunding the health care system and underbuilding infrastructure

It's a corrupt and mediocre country. But it wasn't always like this. And no, I don't blame Trudeau. Both major parties and the entire corporate & political class are implicated.
I'd even argue that "breakaway human civilization living in underground bunkers on Earth" is more plausible than aliens, just because of the vast travel time required to move between star systems within the currently known laws of physics. Both situations - aliens and breakaway civilizations - are incredibly unlikely bordering on impossible. But at least one of them doesn't require breaking any laws of physics.
55+ vegan OMAD here. Experienced positive recomposition (17% BF to 11%) according to the DEXA scans: grew muscle and lost fat over the same period (1 year) with the same diet (no bulking and cutting phases). Didn't measure for the previous 6 months period, where I lost ~20kg (probably from 25+% to 17%) with the same diet.

My OMAD is technically 2 sub-meals over 4 hours: 4pm: protein shake pre-workout, 5-6pm, weighted calisthenics, 6-8pm, dinner and dessert (protein ice creams).

Could be newbie gains, as I never exercised consistently before 50s: from zero pull-ups to 20+ (+40kg 1RM) over a year; zero dip to weighted (+30kg) RTO dips. zero full (ATG) squat to 10+ pistol squats.

The vegan OMAD has been easy for me, but I've never done other diet and exercise regimens before for comparisons.
Since you didn’t give any indication that you were using the “diluted” meaning, I’d say it is more accurate to say that you miscommunicated, rather than that anyone got distracted.
Very excited to see this. It's very much a tool I would use, excited to give it a spin after work tonight. I also look forward to reading the code.

The simpler derivation formula was important when such symbolic computation was done by hand.

Now, except perhaps for school exercises, anything complicated is done with a computer and this advantage is much less important.

The increased accuracy and simpler formulas in other places when measuring angles in cycles a.k.a. turns vastly outweigh the advantage of radians for differentiation.

In real applications you almost always compute the derivative of sin(a*x), not of sin(x), so you have to carry a multiplicative constant through derivations anyway and the single advantage of the radian vanishes.
Why can't you share it here, on Hacker News, for everyone to see? These games deserve more recognition. Please, I want to be proved wrong here.
(It would be cool if dormant tabs can just hold the URL, and kill all memory requirements when dormant after N period of time..)

The problem with this is that a lot of web pages don't handle this gracefully. You don't end up back where you left off!

It would be nice if all the details of the inactive web page were saved to storage, and then retrieved from storage when the tab is reactivated, without having to make any network calls at all.

> I was an EMV developer.

I almost couldn't ask for a better example. EMV is so broken that arguably even if systems did behave as specified that's a security bug anyway, because it doesn't fulfil people's basic expectations of how such a system should work.

For people tuning in at home, EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard, Visa, it's the standard for modern "chip and PIN" type payment cards, including "tap to pay" designs and these days is controlled by a consortium or something which allows all the various payment card outfits to dick each other over equally rather than just those three.

Anyway, you seem to just assert that there weren't security bugs, but with no evidence whatsoever for your claim. I have no doubt that you confidently believed that things which actually were serious security bugs in your EMV terminal were fine. After all, why would this standard be ludicrously fragile and have key security requirements that you might destroy by mistake ? Only something designed by idiots would do that...

I think the main thrust of your view is that you deemed the tickets in your ticket system (which may have been labelled "bugs") not to really be bugs at all. That's a very different semantic argument, and mainly I'd say you should take it up with management. At my current employer we distinguish requests, incidents, cards, tickets, bugs and work items, and it feels like that's maybe too much, but whatever.
There's so much media that is entertaining but not dumb
I like this collection because of how much there is to see. Van Gogh was more prolific than I had somehow imagined.

There are different kinds of artists, and one kind (that I identify with) does it because of some semi-compulsion. It's not "oh, I think I'll do some art today, wouldn't that be nice?" but rather "I _need_ to make something; I will not feel right until I do. Where's my paint?" These are the ones who would keep producing even if nobody ever saw their work.

I guess that jives with my understanding of Van Gogh's history. Not a commercial success, not sought-after. But he did it anyway.

Right, they only let you know about possible outcomes, not the likelihood of any particular event happening during your dive. Russian roulette with 1 vs 5 chambers loaded have the same set of possible outcomes, but very different odds w.r.t. which is most likely when you pull the trigger.
