Meh. "Intellectualizing" is just another form of what Buddhism or Stoicism have been doing for thousands of years. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it can be extremely helpful to take a closer look at your emotions, why they are, where they come from, how they're affected by factors inside and/or outside of you, etc. A lot of emotions we have are destructive and have a tenuous tie to reality, and have more to do with our internal representations and interpretations of reality than anything else. If you aren't able to "intellectualize" your emotions, you'll never be able to really step back from them and evaluate them on a more meta level that something like Buddhism or cognitive behavioral therapy or rational emotive behavior therapy require.

I thought it a bit odd the link below[1] appeared on the front page of Reddit a fortnight ago. The news today reported she had also lost her son a short while ago. Perhaps someone knew something was up. I liked her song, nothing compares to you, fantastic voice.

I started programming about 35 years ago and professionally about 20 years ago.

Some of my thoughts:

- Having the theoretical background is most definitely worth it. I often notice a lack of very basic knowledge on data structures in people who do not have that background.

- Having come into contact with multiple programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, declarative, logic, ...) gives you access to more techniques to solve problems and to more ways to think about problems. I believe this is useful even if you only "tasted" these other techniques.

- I notice that people with a theoretical background are often more fluent in learning new techniques and concepts, and in applying techniques and concepts that they know from one language in another language. Understanding concepts and techniques and being able to apply them in other languages is important.

- I believe the field of programming is very big and one person cannot have deep knowledge on every domain in that field. So you have to make choices. In that context I really believe in focusing on broad knowledge in a certain domain and very deep knowledge on a subset of that domain. For example, I personally have broad knowledge on backend development, and deep knowledge on C# and ASP.Net Core.

I really do think that deep knowledge is useful. Developers should try to obtain deep knowledge of their main programming language. Deep knowledge means that you know how to write something in a clean and compact way, that you are familiar with the language's idioms, that you are aware of all mechanisms that the language offers you to write code in a clean and compact way. The same goes for deep knowledge of libraries. Deep knowledge is something that you obtain through experience and by keeping yourself updated on the evolution of the language or library.

The reason I mention "deep knowledge" explicitly is because I have the impression that deep knowledge is not valued that much anymore. Developers jump to the new hot library before they get a full (or even mediocre) understanding of the previous hot library, or they simply do not take the time to learn the language or libraries that they work with. This can then be seen in the code: bad custom code for things that are built-in in the library, using the library in a non-conventional way, ...
This sounds like a huge slowdown for linear memory access patterns (max. throughput), which do not fit into L1+L2 cache.
I dont see options to prevent L3 cache time behavior being leaked unless one takes performance cuts for memory access patterns.

The only option I do see is something to prevent specific and limited memory as not being allowed into L3 cache altogether.

Since you're active and interested in this stuff: What is the state of art on cpusets for flexible task pinning on cores?
"Note. There is a minor chance that a task forks during move and its child remains in the root cpuset." is mentioned in the suse docs https://documentation.suse.com/sle-rt/12-SP5/single-html/SLE..., but without any background explanation and I do not understand what stuff breaks on moving pinned Kernel tasks.
If you’re right, that’s still (comparatively) a lot of English to communicate very few bits of information. If I cared, I’d honestly be a bit miffed that they made me spend a minute on this shaggy-dog post/ad chimera instead of putting a single sentence in the announcements section of their front page or dashboard (which is a section that needs to exist if it doesn’t already). Like

2023-07-25: Microcode patch for [Zenbleed](https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/zenbleed.html) ([CVE-2023-20593](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-20593)) now rolling out across fleet, expected complete 2023-mm-dd, no evidence of exploitation so far.

Was that so hard? TFA doesn’t even give an estimated completion date, so that’s actually more info than the original! (If they don’t have one yet, that’s OK too of course.)

If the post actually did a better job than other sources of explaining the problem to at least some potential audience, I would’ve welcomed it, and in fact I’m probably crabby exactly because I’ve come to expect good and frank technical explanations from the Cloudflare blog (whatever I may think of their business). But this one is just meh, with a sprinkling of bleh from the forced cheer in the title.

(Sez I who has just spent 200 words’ worth of English just to complain.)
Where did I make the argument that “we” don’t want to give up any privacy? I’m only claiming “we” don’t want to give up all privacy.

Also, “the police” are thousands of humans. That makes it harder to use the police for oppression than if “the police” were a bunch of computers and robots.

If somebody proposed the latter, I think lots of people would object.
With about one million species having been discovered, I think we can have fun with a few.
Presumably the target audience of federalreserve.gov does. I also know the terms, just from talking to a loan officer while shopping for a mortgage. So calling obscure may be a bit unfair.

Also, bits per second is very familiar to many of us in the HN audience, but that is just because of our particular technical background. It is the same in other technical areas (such as finance).
Don't forget having HR regularly discourage sharing salary for some bullshit reason in flagrant disregard of labor laws.
I find the trouble to be kitchen sink apps, IDEs in particular.

For one task one window stuff it is easy to use full screen/half screen workspaces jumping about on 2 screens..

For a kitchen sink app there's some invented tiling, and ever changing requirements of what sub windows to fit, and they usually add some blocking float windows that need data I would copy paste from the main window..
Yep. And what will the solution to that be?

People used browser APIs and some other people thought to take that away. When some people use autohotkey, what will the other people think about doing?
The laws of physics were developed relatively recently. It would not be surprising in the least to discover that a civilization 100,000 years more advanced had figured out how to manipulate the Higgs field, and with it negate the restrictions imposed by relativity.
How is this different from any other type of marketing?

"We will use our special|professional|proprietary|psychic knowledge of the market in order to make your product sell better"

On the one hand marketing is critical for any business, they do need to sell things after all. On the other, the marketing group is really good at selling things, most importantly themselves, that is, selling how good they are at selling things.

> Everyone can get more credits. The idea is that when we think we need more subscriptions to sell, every developer would get a number of additional credits that is proportional to the number of credits they have (with active subscriptions converted to credits for the calculation).

This is what I mean by implicitly setting the price. You set it indirectly by rate limiting the number of subscriptions.

A service with high cost and low volume gets priced out, even if it's only somewhat above average, because people can buy a subscription from someone else for less.

Conversely, if subscriptions are rate limited then no one has any incentive to sell them for less than the market rate, which is in turn set by supply and demand (and you having your hand on the supply knob). Why would anyone charge less, or pay more, than the median price?

Then anyone who needs more than that is priced out, and if you allocate credits based on how many people sign up or use a service, the service that provides only trivial value but to a large number of people gets a ton of credits disproportional to the value of their service.
It didn't scare me at all. As Google moves away from the open web, the open web also moves away from them.
In a fascinating coincidence, exactly as I pulled up this article, my Mom excitedly said that she found an interesting video on TikTok, which ended up being someone of someone reading this Wikipedia page.

I didn't anticipate crossover between TikTok and Hacker News, but I guess this is one example!
My job/work doesn't define me. I have other interests and do other stuff that I like doing and would do even if AI could do them better.
So, if AI would replace me at work and (as seem assumed by OP) financial side is not relevant I would just have more time to do what I want so in that regard I welcome it.
In particular, lead is still extremely common in radiation shielding, possibly because the drop in demand for other applications made it so cheap. Lead-lined drywall is the default approach for setting up a radiography, fluoroscopy or CT suite.
Most of the things you could do with a single codepoint aren’t valid unless you search for a group of unicode.IsMark(c) and process them together with the previous codepoint. Now I’m concerned that I don’t see that in the standard library.

How many headsets do you have to sell to make an impression against 32B though? Even the most optimistic sales guesses put total sales at < 5B over their entire lifetime. That's probably only a few hundred million this year, if that.
The second Iraq war started when I was in junior high, that’s when I stopped standing for the pledge and kept it through high school. There was a big discussion about whether students could be reprimanded, but ultimately I think it was decided that refusal was a form of free speech. I was proud of that, and so were my parents.
> Lock-free techniques are not "obviously better than locks".

On GPUs, they are. GPUs don't have any locks, but they can be emulated on top of these global memory atomics. Because count of active threads is often thousands, the performance of that approach is much worse than lock-free techniques.
That’s exactly why

Tell HN: My Disney account works on at least 31 domains
Today I attempted to document all the domains where my Disney account is used so that my browser would autofill the correct credentials when I visit a Disney-owned site. After going down the rabbit hole, I ended up with a total of 31 second-level domains[0]:

6abc.com, abc.com, abc11.com, abc30.com, abc7.com, abc7chicago.com, club33.com, d23.com, disney.com, disneyaccount.com, disneyaulani.com, disneygiftcard.com, disneyinstitute.com, disneymovieinsiders.com, disneyonice.com, disneyplus.com, disneyrewards.com, disneyweddings.com, espn.com, footytips.com.au, freeform.com, fxnetworks.com, go.com, hulu.com, marvel.com, nationalgeographic.com, rundisney.com, shopdisney.com, starwars.com, thewaltdisneycompany.com, tokyodisneyresort.jp

It's likely an undercount, and doesn't include the untold subdomains. (go.com alone has thousands of subdomains in CT logs.)

Wouldn't Disney be better served by using something like OIDC on a single domain? I see several downsides to their current approach. First, it's confusing to users when their saved credentials don't autofill because they created the account on a different site. Second, Disney can't use newer, more secure authentication like passkeys/WebAuthn because those are tied to a single domain. Finally, having the same credentials work on a bunch of seemingly-unconnected sites is a phisher's dream. If Disney's user base is accustomed to entering their credentials all around the web, why would they hesitate to enter it on a fake ABC affiliate site?

Bps is also specifically a flat change rather than relative to the previous value.

E.g. If without bps if you have an interest rate of 2% and somebody states that it has increased by 10%, it's unclear whether they meant a result of 2.2% or 12%.
Traders learn bps on the first day of their job, similar to you learn version control on your first day of your SWE intern. What's the difference?
> What made you choose hyprland over sway?

The number of people talking about how great it was, while it's much more recent that sway: it was too high to just be by chance.

Eyecandy is important, and so is flexibility: check https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland and you'll see very different styles made from the same hyprland that I use in "each window is fullscreen" mode.

But to stay with a desktop, you've got to integrate it to your workflow, and what made me stick to hyprland is that it's possible to define a keyboard oriented workflow, like I had on Windows

We weren't generating information though, we were generating products. Products (physical or non-physical) get "used" as opposed to "searched".
>Well I feel seen today. At times in my youth I seriously questioned whether I had schizophrenia... but I never developed the symptoms.

Autism has seeming yet superficial symptomatic crossover with schizophrenia to the point that only a professional, or otherwise someone skilled at differential diagnosis, could discern the difference.

>What I do have seems to be a mixture of OCD-related intrusive thoughts and a serious problem with daydreaming/dissociation that severe ADHD thus far has seemed to acceptably explain.

Autism explains these.

>But ADHD doesn't explain the deep daydreaming and sudden talking out loud, entire days spent in a catatonic state, etc.

ADHD-PI would explain daydreaming. A habit of talking out loud can be due to isolated lifestyle and / or stress. Altogether, it reads as a possibility of autism (formerly known as Asperger's).

I've never had anything to do with guns and I admit I find it weird to want to bring one to a rust conference, ridiculous actually. I do see the point though that whoever came up with these rules is intentionally provoking people. Why would a software project have firearms policy other than as a sort of discrimination or put differently a way of showing the kind of people who are welcome and those who are not. Laws are what they are, and if someone is complying with the law completely unrelated to the software, I don't think my software should have an opinion about that. It's a loud dog whistle and a provocation, not a useful policy.
It would have been better to spell out "basis points" in the title, but the term is not at all obscure -- it's very widely used in the finance sector.
No doubt it got flagged over the threshold. I've unkilled it now.
> I feel like tabs on browsers were invented because no desktop environment or GUI toolkit ever came up with a decent solution for multiple instances/documents. This has improved but I suspect there is more that could be done.

Alternatively, I would love a window manager that is just a maximized Firefox patched to display all native apps inside browser tabs. :)

No, obviously vegans think arresting bears is dumb. This same "lions tho" argument has been made enough times to become a meme.
It is interesting to note that some states (NY comes to mind) have anti-fortune telling laws on the books. I'll refrain from commenting on the validity of those laws. Likely they are forgotten and unenforced.
I don't know if all the blame goes to postgres or not, but a unit test in Rails is typically what others would call an integration test and Rails' architecture is more to blame than SQL. If someone chooses to use postgres in their application, don't be surprised when you see code that uses postgres. Wanting to force others to make applications that work with the lowest-common denominator of SQL could make one appear naive, and that you might not have ever faced the same problems others developers have faced.
Yep that's the one.

We ran exchange and some databases on it.
Is this whole thing caused by those stupid covid relief checks that they sent out? Or are there other reasons why inflation got so out of control?
They are absolutely being grown in greenhouses of various agricultural research centres around the world.

For mass market commercial production, probably not.
You could synthesize a contiguous area of Chicago that would lead the nation in per capita homicides (an easy thing to do here would be to just take Englewood, with its 48 homicides and 29,000 population). But of course, you'd be comparing Englewood to all of (say) St. Louis, which is also quite a livable city overall.

I think we just saw that these cars will blow through this red light… maybe even 100% of the time. That doesn’t align with your “demonstrably makes cars safer than a human driver.”

You want to pretend like we jumped to the engineering end and it’s a solved problem. It’s not. I know if my family drove through this intersection daily, I wouldn’t find the risk as acceptable.
Software compatibility with current modern platforms is a feature, and an owner of software isn't entitled to forward compatibility any more than an owner of a car is entitled to new parts as the old ones degrade.

Software degradation is much like hardware degradation: it happens with time as underlying platforms change.

I don't think you have tried too much to run it.
The inflation is translatory was a known lie by political nonpolitical entities though. They can't say the truth: the country is bankrupt and the only way to press the brakes is to jack rates to 30-70%, which will thusly destroy the economy. The other option is ww3 or debt default, in which case the US loses reserve status and all US living quality plummets to the dark ages.
There is a beautiful (to me) recitation of "If" performed by Dennis Hopper that I have saved along with several other similar recordings, all of which have helped me immensely over the years. Thank you for reminding me that it's about that time of year to watch/listen to it again!

You can also find out that you love it despite the novels (or software or paintings or poems or whatever) not being interesting for almost anyone else or even being available to anyone, but as you don't need the money you can keep doing that (and only that) and society simply loses out on whatever you're doing currently.

The key part of what people would work on without needing to worry about money is that there is literally zero reason to assume that the thing worked on would be useful to society in any way whatsoever, it can be useless or even detrimental to it - the current mechanism of monetary compensation is the thing aligning the work to interests of others, remove it and you can't expect that alignment to persist.

Unconditional income is a solution to the problem when we don't need people's labor anymore - it makes all sense when people can just go off and do whatever without worrying if it benefits others enough to justify the basic goods and services they need, and the society is okay with that. But while we still do need the labor of most people, there needs to be motivation to guide that labor to the specific things society needs.
I can't tell if this is a serious question or not considering the past few years of disease and war.
Home prices in the '80s were ~$60,000; equivalent homes now are about 10x that [0]. With inflation bouncing around 2-6% on average [1], and only modest wage increases over decades [2], that makes the median home today way less affordable even with these relatively low interest rates.

> We've found claude-2 very capable, especially for chat functionality, and especially in situations where you're looking for the equivalent of a faster Google search, even smaller models will do. For inline edits, gpt4 well outperforms others, but we've only optimized the prompt for gpt4. There's a LOT of tinkering to be done here, and it seems clear that OSS models will be capable soon.
