I have insane issues with my working memory which render me basically useless as an employee or even a human being and doctors here in my country aren't even aware such a thing exists and can deteriorate.

And given my salary and savings I cannot afford going to the countries where this problem is studied and probably can be fixed. Darn.

Yes, the 4 doc model is flawed, but if everybody followed it, we would still get on average 10 times better doc. When that happen, we can worry about improving, but most people are just terrible at explaining things.

Also, how to guide are not more and more covered by chatgpt.

But I don't think it should be a good reason to stop writing them.

For example, I wrote an article on "Parameters, options and flags for Python scripts":

https://www.bitecode.dev/p/parameters-options-and-flags-for

This is typically the type of things you get great ROI with chatgpt.

Yet:

- it's still faster to copy the summary of the article

- you need to understand the output of chatgpt so the article is useful to beginners

- you need to be able to use the right words to ask chatgpt what you want, which again, implies you understand the problem

- good practices and conventions are contextual, so the doc still helps

On the other hand, it's hard to find a lone article on the net, most people will find it faster with chatgpt.

But for your particular documentation of your particular product, that's still important to produce it. Because your best users will get familiar about your docs.

I hated crypto ever since I heard about back in 2011.

Having said that. I don't think its going anywhere. Given no recession on the horizon and FED can't hike interest rates anymore infact they are going back to printing more money next year which creates more dumb money to continue playing stupid games like crypto
My feedback:

- Lose post numbers, make vote&thumbnail take less space horizontally - they tske enough to make the site look broken on mobile.

- Likewise, info about the post is too long- you can probably get away with hiding the instance a user is from, changing "posted 9 hours ago (last edited 5 hours ago" to "Posted 9h ago (edited 5h ago)"

- Merge the "expand/embed" button with the thumbnail

- Add reply, share, save, hide, etc buttons next to "x comments". Just color them different if not logged in, otherwise you're giving the impression that the functionality is missing

- Make "permalink" include context, or add a "context" button

- Make the list of communities on the top bigger and line-wrapped. They're too small to comfortably click on mobile

- Change the theme a bit so it doesn't actually look like a Reddit clone.

I used that qualifier because I am taking their claim at face value. I have no independent way of confirming or confuting the facts.

Crime against humanity didn't even exist as a concept (let alone a law) before Nuremberg, do you think the condamnation of the nazis there as “uncivilized”?
This is an excellent comment — thank you for getting these sources together. I’ve favorited it in case I have to explain the situation to someone again.

But! There’s suddenly a ray of hope. See the comment upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36612285

Do you happen to know whether the call was with Steve himself, or some other Reddit employee? If it wasn’t Steve, then this whole thing was a giant miscommunication, which I’ve always suspected from the beginning.

Boy it’s nice to feel hopeful about this for once. I really hope it wasn’t Steve.
It’s when they start committing changes to their own source code that we’ll really have to worry.
This only happens when the users are the product or its a marketplace. Most business models dont suffer from shittification. But VCs love investing in the ones that do.

Also important to remember that we get the nerfed, sanitized version of GPT. Reed Hoffman was tweeting about GPT-4 6 months before it was released to the public.

We don’t really know what the completely untethered model is capable of.
I think the biggest weakness with the four-document model is that it doesn't have a proper place for rigorous documentation of the system's concepts and model.

The biggest problem I find with software documentation is that the only rigorous part is a "Reference" which is organised as a list of functions or configuration options or commands or whatever, and while each individual item looks OK, they don't add up to a full description.

One clue that you've got this problem is having reference items which use technical terms which aren't defined, or are only defined in the informal part of the documentation.

Another form of this problem is a reference that's heavy on how options modify behaviour but omits any promises about the parts of the behaviour which are unconfigurable.

The four-document model's division of "Explanation" and "Reference" doesn't help avoid this problem. The "Explanation" is for teaching and is apparently not intended to be rigorous, and it doesn't tell you to make the "Reference" more than lists of individual items.
I think your comment maybe conflates highly priced 'cheap' tat with luxury? Or 'fashionable' to put it more neutrally perhaps.

WoodRiver is a US brand for tools manufactured by Quangsheng tools in China. They are sold all over the world under different brand names. In the past few years, a similar factory has emerged in India with lots of different brands selling them.

They make decent tools. I'm sure the US and Canadian premium tools (LN and LV) are better but at least in Europe the price difference (after taxes and customs) is steep and difficult to justify.
"This things is bad"

"Yeah, whatever, feel free to die fighting against it"

I think advocating against somethig, generating a discussion, moving the Overton window is a valid, almost necessary thing. (I admit sometimes they threaten the things I like (or me), but most of the time, it's OK.)

Perhaps "agreeing" was a bad choice of word, instead discussing, debating, or just letting me know your opinion about the matter.
Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. How would you physically connect to this API without an app and without a backend?
First up, I'm pro energy transition, so I'm essentially 'on your side'.

I'd still like to see you make better arguments and work on the real world details (if you can be bothered) which will take time if you apply yourself.

eg: batteries

Sure .. somewhere there is the future.

Right now, though, the largest installer of city scale battery parks in the world Neoen has yet to crack 10 GW installed:

As at 31 December 2021, the company's total capacity was 5.4 GW, made up of 50% solar, 38% wind and 12% battery storage. Neoen aims to attain 10 GW in operation and under construction by 2025.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoen

That's total globally after successively installing the three successive "biggest battery parks in the world" each larger than the other.

For a comparison point, Germany (a single mid sized European country) has a lowest overnight baseload minimum draw of 40 GW (all night long .. an then it ramps up).

Realistically batteries must scale to being able to provide 40 GW for an hour (or more!) .. which is provision of power x length of time.

And from there to scale out by a 100 and more locations.

So, there's some way to go here.

As for hydrogen and steel .. before you wave that away it might be worth looking into the concrete plans by the largest raw material providers for the largest steel plants globally.

https://www.fmgl.com.au/in-the-news/media-releases/2021/06/0...

https://www.fmgl.com.au/in-the-news/media-releases/2023/06/1...

These are the concrete plans of those who are committed to climate action, have access to world class engineers, and already provide 100's of millions of tonnes of raw iron ore per year to steel production already.

You don't have to agree with them, but they are taking action with several billion in capital backing them, so it pays to understand what they intend.
Do you have any examples of code and/or art you can share?

I’ve always been fascinated by generative art.
I think the big issue is the different "tuning" for each heat pump system. For example, a heat pump water heater needs a different maximum temperature than an air conditioner, and has much different cycling behavior. This leads to very different design decisions, including refrigerant choice, pressure, compressor type, whether the refrigerant loop is even serviceable, etc. (Some appliances operate at a refrigerant pressure so high that they require being fully assembled at the factory, which would be a non-starter for a manifold system like we're discussing.)

I think this might eventually become a thing once science gets us far enough that there's an "obvious" refrigerant choice for most applications, but we definitely aren't there yet. There are hundreds of different kinds that perform better or worse in different applications.

AFAIK all of the big commercial systems that do multiple different types of heat transfer use water to do it, thus bypassing the entire refrigerant selection issue. Right now the most advanced we can do is VRF ("Variable Refrigerant Flow") systems that can individually select air handlers for cooling or heating (i.e. move the heat from one room to another). These are still commercial units and not really available for residential installs.
There is no solid standard, since it's C we're talking about. I would kind of agree that lower case is more common. More weirdly (from reading the header [1], I have not worked with raylib) the public types and function names are not namespaced so if your code already used Texture or Camera those become clobbered along with DrawPixel(), InitWindow() and hundreds more (the header is ~1,500 lines).

I'm not saying that's bad, and the API seems really nice to work with, it's just a bit odd and against the "common wisdom" on how to design C libraries.

I guess for a game there might not be a lot of need for other libraries, since raylib really does a lot of stuff.

I was thinking about the real life cycle. A maintainable car can live up to 30 years and longer. They are shipped to third world countries where they are repaired extensively. But that isn't possible with new cars that put DRM in their components so third parties cannot supply parts. The economics of repairs change and that causes a massive increase in emissions since a lot more cars must be build in the first place and they must be replaced more often.

Most EV aren't that old yet, so data beyond the leasing lifetime isn't to readily available.
Nah it happens to all public companies (see hasbro with magic/d&d) even when users are not the product.

It happens when nobody wants to be the first to show flagging growth and investor expectations have not reset yet after a period of growth.

The idea is to first zip the binary, then base64 the zipped data. Conversely, the script first decodes the base64 to a zipped binary, then unzips the binary.

It's just to mitigate the wastefulness of base64 encoding. You end up with a file that is text editor friendly and not quite as bloated as directly encoding the binary would be - but of course the file is still larger than simply appending the binary directly like in the OP.

Also, if you don't care about text editor friendlyness, you could indeed just zip the binary and then append it to the script for an even smaller file.

LIFEPOWR| Antwerp | Full-time | REMOTE | https://www.lifepowr.io/job-offers

We are LIFEPOWR! A young and dynamic company, active in energy transition and scaling up!

We develop smart technologies to support the worldwide transition towards renewable energy. Our progressive algorithms deliver significant value to households, businesses and society in its entirety.

We virtually connect different energy resources, such as batteries, chargers for electric cars and inverters for solar panels to broader networks of merged flexible capacity, to keep energy needs in balance and to optimize the impact of renewable energy.

We take the road to 'net zero' serious and we are convinced that our algorithms make the necessary difference.
You can help us reach these goals in the role of Analyst / Tester to support the launch of new functionalities in our app.
I'll agree wholeheartedly that the analogy needs some work. Tools are different - we have our literal physical tools that we don't generally dive into (keyboards, mice), we have tools that are maybe more battle tested and rarely examined (cat, grep, find).

We have do have tools like the hammer - there is one design, everyone more or less agrees on it. There is still high quality and low quality, but it has one job. We have tools like a bulldozer - complex, numerous parts, requires constant maintenance, closed source.

As the parent said - it is not uncommon to have to maintain old equipment, as well as design new tools as new requirements pop up.

Sure, our rust is a little bit different - time wears on software in a different way. Use wears on software differently. (Changing product requirements leading to a new tool is probably common.)

The maintenance may be trickier - but I'm sure changing components on a tool when a certain component is no longer available is not easy, thats where shim layer comes from!

Locality is one issue, and the fact that it's significantly less vital means that it's generally not a matter of life and death.

The organisms referred to by the GP are not insects. They are social colonies chiefly made up of insects as their component parts, but the whole is greater than the sum of parts. Consider fungi, microscopic plants, and even aphids which are farmed, to be parts of these organisms, not to mention the elaborate dwelling structures. These social organisms go far beyond individually embodied insects.

I meant "maintainability" in the sense that you can open it in a text editor without either corrupting the file or having the editor crash.

It's also useful if you want to check the file into a git repo and want to keep using the diff and merge tools.
I still ask to design Twitter, but make it clear that it's about the process, and follow ups are driven by where the candidate leads to.

The material from OP won't prepare you for systems design interview (witch is also your point?). Only experience will, so we measure experience and leadership.

Juniors can apply to systems design openings and will be interviewed, but they end up as generic SWEs if hired. If one thinks one can work on distributed systems coming out of university you will have a hard time interviewing or not like it.

There are power outages in Norway too - though there are typically years between incidents, and years and years between incidents lasting a day instead of hours (with the exception of certain avalanche-prone areas where this happens much more often than people would like). So my home has a backup system - as do most houses. And that's a wood heater. But my house is so well insulated that it takes a day even in the coldest of winter before I actually need to use it if this happens. Newer houses are also quite much better than mine in this respect.

> Also, Poland is getting nukes and soon we will be close to nuclear war — over something that could have been avoided 15 different ways. I guess I’ll just defer to your judgment in all things. What seems like double standards and insanity to me is actually the only correct and moral thing, and there’s nothing to worry about (or if humanity is destroyed it’s for a good cause — Ukraine will be free from the evil Russians).

Polands getting nukes because Belarus now has Russian nukes.

Belarus having Russian nukes is in direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum by the way, which Belarus has signed.

Poland having nukes has nothing to do with Ukraine and everything to do with Russia placing nukes in Belarus and also routinely threatening to nuke half the western world into oblivion.

Why does Poland getting nukes place us any closer to the world ending then there being nukes in Kaliningrad?, of which there have been for years at this point.
Shameless plug for my native (Qt C++ based) open-source, cross-platform note-taking app[1]. It's fast, beautiful, and just works.

The next version will add an option to turn your Markdown tasks into a beautiful Kanban view[2] via QML. This feature will be paid but anyone will be able to compile the source with a simple CMake flag to get the PRO version for free.

Currently, it uses a DB but we aim to port it to support arbitrary folder (simple .md/.json files, depending on the complexity of the editor). I'm working on a mobile version and a built-in sync option as well.

Once the built-in syncing is complete I will probably only charge for that and the client itself will be completely free.
