> Myself I don't understand how one could write any code without understanding how the code gets run.

I think this perhaps says more about you then it does the people to whom you're referring. If you can't understand how someone can write code to perform tasks and extrapolate from that ways that programming can be used to perform tasks, without any underlying knowledge of the architecture that it runs on, then I would suggest your education is currently incomplete.

How far down does the full stack go? Hardware? Digital electronics? Analogue electronics? Physics? Further?
This reminds me of "your personal statement sucks"[1] by Dr. Angela Collier(Physics PhD), who also served on a hiring committee. The advice she gives is that your personal statement is your one shot to convince the hiring committee that you have unique things that would be a huge positive to the role you seek. I thought it was worth the watch time.

It's cool that they observed this, but I'm a little confused why this is seen as surprising. Unless there's oxidation at the fissure, metals seem like they should be able to glue back together pretty easily...
All the coverage on this memo has missed this point. I guess they can’t imagine a company giving its employees two computers!

You can BYO ChromeOS devices too which make great thin terminals to a remote workstation or cloud VM. I have a whole bunch from dogfooding preproduction Chromebooks.
We bought our home in Washington DC in 2019. Our mortgage is about $2000 a month, I could not imagine or even contemplate trying to pay a $7000 a month mortgage.
Is it me or does that look extremely similar to Linear, another competitor in that space?

Not in the sense of the feature set, there's only so many things you can do with an issue tracker and a kanban board, but in the sense of actual visual design (fonts, text sizes, etc.)
Interestingly, this reminds me I have not seen the Desktop of my Mac in several years I think. I use spotlight, the dock and favorite places to move around. Plus a tabbed full screen view of several current folders. The Desktop should be behind all that, I assume ;)
Often it's the case that those who learnt to program at college/university at the age of 20 are unsettled by their peers who at 30 have two decades under their belt, having spent their fertile years from 10 or earlier programming. By 20 I'd already been writing code every week without fail for a decade. Now I'm at > 70%.
Doesn't make sense. You'd be paying the wrong party.
To the comment above. The point is that fewer widgets is not going to cut it unless you force the poor countries to stay poor.

I assumed people know world's energy consumption breakdown (cement, food, heating, electrical energy, chemical processes, ...), and what does that imply if most of the world catches up to more or less developed levels. If not I recommend starting education there.
Snark all you want, but that's this person's experience and it's worth considering why that is the case. I'd wager they've been a victim of productivity theatre, with management saying "we need to be agile! make it so everyone -- your job depends on it!". Then, they may even hire an experienced agile manager but (for whatever reason) give them no chance to spend time and effort properly training everyone involved in how to work differently and to use the tools effectively, and how to communicate the "burn-down rate" to the users every time-period so that their expectations may be set correctly. Combine this with the attitude of many "I'll raise it as a ticket, then I'll have something official with which to chase the developers", and it's perhaps easier to see how things can become chaotic.

Perhaps you've been fortunate enough to be employed where these things are managed better than my hypothetical scenario above, but my experience that is the exception, not the rule, so it's not surprising that people can become fatigued.

Have you tried heavily modifying your diet by chance? Removing carbs, lowering inflammatory foods, dairy and root veggies. Going down to a fasting diet in the morning. I'm optimistic that I'll never feel a cluster headache again.
Why .so? I understand payara.fish, because payara is based on glassfish.

What is the story here? I'm just curious (and bored) :).
the 'locate' command is faster than everything but arguably not as convenient (being a commandline tool). It seems to support non-ntfs (meaning it doesn't support ntfs) linux filesystems.

I don't think you have any idea of the kind of time pressures journalists are under, and how little time they have to devote hours or days of deep research to each and every story they work on. At best you can get that for a large story if you're an investigative journalist, but very few have that privilege.

All of the journalists I know personally would love to have more time to dig into stories, to do more background research, to spend more time following them up, and to get to understand a subject more deeply. None are given that opportunity in today's high pressure, short-staffed, and cut-to-the-bones newsrooms.

A lot of people complain that 50k isn't much of a hurdle. Yes, I also agree that I as an individual can actually get that loan tomorrow if I want, but the point is "open" banking is meant to open up opportunities and should have as little hurdles as possible and the 50k is just one example.

Look into going into the business and you will realise other hurdles like having some insurance that will cost you tens of thousands, and more costs. When you compare that to, say, creating an app and putting it up on an app store, we can agree that there is a huge difference.

Of course I understand that banking means playing with people's money and therefore measures need to be put in place. But instead of requiring financial assets maybe the 'measure' should all be around technology and your service will need to have gone through extensive testing to ensure it won't be exploited. Otherwise 50k is peanuts like someone said when it comes to covering any financial loss incurred if your service is messed up. So that 50k is just to filter out a huge majority of individuals wanting to create something for themselves.

The opposite. Co-ops are more resilient to downturns
The important question that matters is: Is the cost close to competitive vs. Bitumen, or is there any hope of reaching that threshold?
With Swift UI & Jetpack Compose, I found it really easy to make a jump from React to either platform. The mental model is pretty similar to React in both. Sure, Android is still a lot of boilerplate (in my opinion), but Kotlin & Swift are also relatively easy to get into, especially if you happen to have some OOP experience.
>Even in Communism there is class division (if not more).//

What do you mean by this?

We've never had a completely Capitalist system, AFAIAA, because the logical ends to that are slavery and selling body parts just to survive. Which means rebellion by the proles and it's easier to get people to work endlessly for your ends if you give them a measure of hope.

Similarly, we've never had a completely Communist system because the logical ends to that are redistribution of power from those in control to the people. This means those currently in control lose most of their power; if you empower people to force a change towards communist principles ... well let's just say that has never gone well.

We can squash the wealth gap, and we can redistribute political power back to the demos ... but it's a very long road and means structuring society to combat individual greed, ultimately giving up the "American dream" of having others work at your minions to give you a millionaire life-style. Honestly, the greed we humans have for that is so powerful it acts as an almost insurmountable barrier to a fairer society/World.
"these Sarracenia will not do anything against your fruit flies problem" seems directly contradicted by the blog post. Perhaps some unexpected environmental difference vs. your setup?
That sounds terrible. I worked as a telco where we experimented with having a development environment on VMware, twelve VMs in total per developer. You'd remote desktop to on of the VMs and use Visual Studio from there, it was absolutely terrible. I can't imagine throwing TeamViewer across oceans into the mix, I'd go absolutely nuts from the lag alone.
> For example, add eax, 512 translates to 05 00 02 00 00.

> The first byte (05) is an opcode specifically representing adding the EAX register to a 16-bit number. The remaining bytes are 512 (0x200) in little-endian byte order.

That explains only the first 3 of the 5 bytes in the instruction. What are the remaining 00s for? Did he perhaps mean that the opcode is for adding EAX to a 32-bit number?
Climate change is a symptom of overshoot of the carrying capacity our our environment.

The financial system is based on growth, with the majority of money (97% IIRC) being debts we must repay with interest.

This leads to exponential growth, which is unsustainable in a finite environment (thus overshooting the carrying capacity).

https://futureearth.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/great_acc...

Billionaires are simply skilled players amassing virtual wealth in someone else's computer by extracting existing resources.

To really solve this, we must change the game, diminish ourselves and eliminate the pressures of exponential growth.
Linear-Time Parser Combinators
It even breaks Reader mode on iPhone!
Exactly. It's really just about isolating builds and code that runs from everything else. If you can afford the infrastructure, and can afford to make the infrastructure work well for everyone (arguably much harder), then it's a good idea with few downsides.
That's true, and one can bias logits in llama.cpp and friends too, but those are global biases that affect the entire output rather than being specified per-token. Uploading a grammar or a wasm binary to the inference engine does seem more expressive.
The military didn't take power, there was a coup attempt that failed.

> allow the president to force through legislation without a parliamentary majority.

Unless there is a motion of no confidence which can be called immediately after such an act, and if it passes with a simple majority, the legislation doesn't pass and the government falls. Therefore it allows the president's government to force through laws only if there aren't enough members of parliament to vote for them, but not against them.
It seems the paper isn’t in sandia’s publications database yet, but it’s only been a few days since the journal version was published. I’m not sure how it works at sandia, but at NIST one of the authors has to get around to uploading the manuscript and there’s no way to get an automated reminder. Then our publications database only updates once a day I think.

I’m sure if you send a polite request for the manuscript they would be happy to share. Maybe even responsive to a polite request that they post a preprint next time, but in MatSci that’s much more common with modeling than experimental work.

I'm guessing it's a combination of 1) it was available, and 2) why not?
For those who didn't read the article:

> The global-warming hypothesis, however, is no longer tenable. Scientists have been able to test it carefully, and it does not hold up.

The author is very far from saying we don't have enough evidence. He claims that scientists had collected enough evidence to dismiss the theory. Which is in hindsight, quite obviously, a lie.
I surely do mean exactly that particular Waterfox. I've had my fair share of concerns back in the day when System1 acqui(hi)red Waterfox, but I haven't seen any suspicious behaviour whatsoever so I'm pretty confident it's fine for the time being.

Of course, if you know a better browser (that is not Chromium-based), I'll be happy to hear your suggestions!
Google is especially bad that this. Often what will be remove is the most important keyword, I assume because that yields more result.

This is the only relevant bit. A license can't force people to do work for free in the future.
I think you never actually used the mdfind search, only the bastardized version that is now available as Spotlight. That interface used to be good, now it’s so bad and slow I don’t know why they let this happen. But try mdfind with filenames, it is incredibly fast. Also for file content searches it is very fast also.
I feel like much of the internal coverage missed the point. There were a lot of people arguing in bad faith, ignoring the fact that the whole idea was clearly tied to the rollout of the particular workflow where no internet would be needed on the machines in question. Most devs still aren't working like that yet, and so pushed back hard.

Look, I completely agree that the wealthiest should be sharing more of the burden. However France already has quite high taxes, and is in the EU, so when the taxes get too high, people and companies can very easily move to a neighbouring country. Removing the fortune tax in France resulted in a net tax benefit because people who were subject to it returned to France and their regular taxes were added.

I don't really know that you need a light/dark mode switch. It should follow your preferences. I see dark mode websites all the time, because my desktop is set to dark mode. On my Windows machine I see the same websites with the light-mode, because I did not bother to figure out how to set Windows to dark-mode.

Hi jantissler, thanks so much for your feedback! It makes me very happy (and validated) that I'm not the only one who craves for such a platform.

In terms of the confusing terminologies, I agree, and based yours and on a lot other people's feedback, I will prioritise a guide tour for better user onboarding.

With "slug" I'll double check and see how I can improve it, I think I did add some tooltips in to explain what it is, but perhaps it's still too hidden.

The Quine Programming Language is a language for writing quines, or rather, one specific quine.

The language has 5 tokens - q,u,i,n,e with specific meanings, and whitespace is significant: there must be none.

There is a compiler, which emits machine code executed by a custom-built virtual machine. And a debug-mode for inspecting the behaviour of the tokenizer and the VM itself.

I've previously shared my 'HTML quine' with HN (https://secretgeek.github.io/html_wysiwyg/html.html), so thought this language might also be appreciated.

The following is a valid program in Quine:

quine

…and when executed it provides this output:

I don’t think it would work like a rubber band. However, given that proteins degrade during marination, there has to be a change in osmolality of the meat. This may or may not affect how moisture and flavour is drawn in.
Maybe because so is the 5th of a scale, and this has 5/8ths of the features of Jira?
New is relative to everyone's experience. Just because you are bang up-to-date, does not mean everyone else is. To many people it will be something they have never heard of before. I thought I knew the GNU landscape reasonably well, but had not yet heard of this program and thought it might be of interest to others.

What was the first version you used?
Hey thanks for the feedback. Many users like yourself have given me the feedback that the concepts were very poorly explained, so the next thing I do is to build a guide tour to onboard new users. Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it!

That's not saying it's Russian disinformation. Just that it's unconfirmed to be either disinformation or real. (Which, at the time, was the correct assessment.)
It feels like I have failed in every way that is possible.

I have lost my wife, my child, my parents, my grandparents, my friends, my house burned down with all of my possessions. I lost my ability to code due to burnout and had to spend several years doing nothing.

During my burnout experience I was basically forced to confront the roaring void of existence. I spent time at a monastery and contemplated the futility of it all.

And yet at the end of all of this, I considered what else is there to do with life but to begin anew? And now that I have lost everything, I am no longer naive. I know what is possible to have, and what is possible to lose, and I can act with understanding from past experience. I feel far more capable of success now that I know what it is to fail in the hardest ways I can imagine.

It seems bun is:

which is an interesting mix. I assume the JS is intended to be TS eventually or actually is right now. But why all the C++?
I run the script every 6hrs. When a candidate list is built, it has around 15 items + the prompt. That usually goes around 1k tokens. When generating an article, the prompt has 1k tokens and the response has around 1k tokens (I ask for text with up to 250 words). If the source article is long I just truncate it - it should be enough to create a summary presenting the topic. It is possible to batch article creation, submitting the prompt once alongside 2-articles, but I don't think that it would be worth the hassle. I'm getting billed 1c for every 12-15 articles generated (using gpt3.5turbo
That is a bugbear for me in Jira. Who solos on all tasks?

Very astutely put!

> That is why I'm relatively certain at least some people will choose violence - the question is how many will follow them

Judging by history, long periods of wealth disparity, inequality, hunger, authoritarianism, etc, are inevitably met with brutal uprisings: e.g the French/Russian/Chinese Revolution.

As for how many will follow such a revolution: any kind of right(or right policies disguised as left as we have/had in Russia/China) politics, continued over a long period of time, will eventually have the effect of creating a small privileged ruler class out of touch with the rest of society. Thus, it's no wonder that usually EVERYBODY joins such upheavals to dethrone the rich/powerful.
This is a good point, although be careful not to find yourself on the other side of the spectrum, surrounded by academics writing signal processing code in Visual Basic.
I used Slackware on Pentium with 16MB of memory. In order for my sound card to be detectable from Linux I had to run a special proprietary program to set it in “Sound Blaster” mode. So my computer actually booted in MS-DOS, ran the sound card utility and then started Linux using LOADLIN.EXE. All from autoexec.bat.

Maybe instead grow a bunch and test and see if you can find out why the author has success where you do not? Otherwise the 'assurance' bit seems a bit thin.

But how are they born? I'll have no fruit flies in the house, and then I'll forget a potato, it rots, and then I'll be infested with fruit flies. Were they already on the potato before it rotted, or did one just happen in, found some food, and figured it would stay and start a family here?
