>Getting rid of conditional branches is also a major brain-teaser when you're writing safe constant-time cryptography code.

It is not possible to write constant time code on a modern machine and OS. The important thing is that the time taken should not depend on any of the inputs.
We are talking about in-the-city commuting. The local roads/streets at some stage of poverty are full of mopeds and bicycles, with very few cars. When people have no choice. When they have a choice, they could get better bicycles or mopeds. Instead they get more cars, before these cars are even convenient to use (e.g. you may get stuck behind a bicycle with a produce cart for 10 minutes at 5mph as mopeds stream around both of you).

These cities start out in no way optimized for cars, basically by definition (nobody has cars). The reasons cars do better in them too, before the govt responds with more car infrastructure, is because cars are just simply better in terms of convenience. If people wanted to continue cycling after they get more rich, the govt could have built infrastructure for that much cheaper and easier.

Also btw, no matter what, bicycling is still marginal in most climates and for many people who are not fit. The real thing to discuss is transit... many of the middle-income and even poor cities have great transit, but people don't clog the transit and then grudgingly switch to driving, it's the other way around :)

I got endless issues opening an app the second time. Didn't happen in Chrome.

As for sites that specifically doesn't care about Firefox, that was in a private talk with another frontend developer, so I can share neither the name or a URL as proof.
This depends on other conditions being good as well, like being bike/pedestrian friendly and reasonably safe. There's no amount of new homes they could build that would revitalize Houston's downtown because it sucks. Most of the people I know who live and work inside the loop go out of their way to avoid downtown. I live adjacent to downtown and haven't been there for anything, including events, for years.
If not 077 then what?

As has productivity.
Our company does regular meetups throughout the year. No need for a hybrid schedule really. We are all located throughout the US. The company pays for all expenses for those that choose to visit on site. This is without limits or restrictions. It STILL costs them less than maintaining a large office in a popular metro area. I see my coworkers a total of maybe 4x a year. We also have regular 'shoot the shit' Zoom meets. That is honestly enough interaction for me.

As an autistic person with ADHD, office environments are 'difficult' to say the least. Thankfully I've been fully remote for about a decade as well. Wouldn't go back, and thankfully I don't need to. There are plenty of remote jobs available and I don't see that changing short of some type of short-sighted government regulation.

Smaller companies have realized that office space and the infrastructure to support it is a huge money sink compared to just having employees work from home.

Makes sense, but it's clear that we still don't live in a world of fully ubiquitous subtitle accessibility, which can cause trouble both for the hard of hearing and for those with English as a second language.

I see you’re using gpt4all; do you have a supported way to change the model being used for local inference?

A number of apps that are designed for OpenAI’s completion/chat APIs can simply point to the endpoints served by llama-cpp-python [0], and function in (largely) the same way, while using the various models and quants supported by llama.cpp. That would allow folks to run larger models on the hardware of their choice (including Apple Silicon with Metal acceleration or NVIDIA GPUs) or using other proxies like openrouter.io. I enjoy openrouter.io myself because it supports Anthropic’s 100k models.

I remember being intrigued by this idea. I doubt it would work but it’s interesting to understand why. Seems the main hold up is that each function might have to point to other function as dependencies, so it’s not going to be linear but really a graph. And then you are immediately in the position of I like this code but I am user Log package N, but they use Log package M so I have to copy and edit. . Vs _ and how things are published and versioned is just implementation details.
> no more large scale tier 3 (redundant) data center power in the US.

This is interesting to me, what is the constraining factor? Raw generator output? Transmission lines getting power to the right places?
I can think of two simple, practical answers to your query:

The expressive power of single value functions is very powerful and the constraint is not necessarily restrictive but may even drive a stronger analysis. (Where does this function have multiple returns? Is it for the whole domain? Etc)

By contrast the expressive power of negation and implication are relatively low given very intuitive and well defined alternatives exist.

Second, there already exist good enough paradigms for dealing with multi-valued functions. Splitting the function up into multiple functions, mapping to an ordered pair, etc.

Defining a function the traditional way is more than just notational convenience. The single value constraint allows for many simplifying assumptions, enough that is worth to pay the cost when dealing with relations that you want to talk about in functional ways
Wouldn't say simpler than LEGO as there are some nuances. For example:

* making sure the motherboard supports the CPU via socket and also nominally

* making sure the heatsink can be mounted on top of the CPU socket

* having the case fit your motherboard form factor

* if there is a dedicated GPU, making sure it fits inside the case and there is a PCI-E slot with sufficient lanes for it

* if not, making sure there is an integrated GPU

* selecting a PSU that can handle the maximum power load for the GPU and that has a power cable for the GPU if it needs one

* making sure to buy the right type of ram in accordance with what the CPU and motherboard support

* if you want wifi, making sure there is built-in or there is a m.2 slot for wifi

* if you want a m.2 NVMe SSD, there should be a m.2 slot with the right key interface

Not often you end up buying parts that don't work well with each other and need to buy other parts. I once bought a small factor m.2 ssd only to discover it didn't fit the slot. I think it was trying to fit an M key device into a B key slot. Sometimes even the vendor data can be incorrect.

One argument I made was sponsoring a project, especially buys you support / developer relations. For example, we replaced a commercial PKZIP license with 7-zip. Was able to use the fact that one of the project we donated to, 7-zip, implemented a feature request that helped in this transition. That combined with the fact that these donations relative to our proprietary software costs were insignificant, made it an easy sell to my boss.

It's funny that you mention `C-s`, because `isearch-forward` is usually used for low-latency literal matches. In what workflow can Khoj offer acceptable latency or superior utility as a drop-in replacement for isearch? Is there an example of how you might use it to navigate a document?
> > why did you mention them in the fossil fuel burning thread, where do they get the money for burning the fuels?

China, India and Pakistan don't have to deal with all the EPA regulations so the unit of greenhouse gases per unit of fossil fuel consumed is much higher than the US or Europe.

And now Nigeria is joining the party of greenhouse gases, their unit of gases per unit of fossil fuels burned is off the chart even for India and China standards.

What's your source on this? I see similar claims, never cited.

Ask HN: When is it appropriate to switch teams internally?
I'm currently a team lead in FAANG in an area I do not find too interesting, but I'm able to make it work on a day-to-day basis and I enjoy most of the people and my direct manager quite a bit.

My skip manager has recently externally hired a lot of staff engineers, which has cut off a lot of areas I was enjoying working in and removed my room for growth and potentially promotion.

I have an opportunity for a "grass is greener on the other side" to switch to a team internally that pairs more with my interests and lets me be head down more in coding instead of leading, also with the opportunity for growth as I gain expertise in the space. The commute to work is also a lot shorter and can be remote lol

I'm leaning on taking this opportunity, but I actually really do enjoy my current manager and the people in my space. Should I stick it out on my current team and try to make affairs better, or should I take the opportunity to try something new?

I've also only been in my current space for ~1 year so I feel guilty about that

What are the things I should be thinking about? How do I know I'm not making a decision based on how I feel negatively in the moment?
I agree, it is disappointing to hear of a life coach doing something ridiculous. Considering the rigid standards one has to meet and the strenuous and continuous licensing and re-licensing that happens, it is virtually unheard of to see a life coach be involved in anything less than aspirational.

Book some regular sessions with a personal trainer. He/she will give you a balanced basic routine and teach you good form.

I was fortunate to have an excellent PT when I first ventured into the gym age 19, a skinny, awkward, scared teenager. The structure of that gym program is still the basis of what I do 30 years later. Different exercises get incorporated, depending on my goals at the time, and variations in # of reps and sets. But still the same general approach.
It's really not weird, that's not how security works.

What the application is doing is relevant to application security, but the whole point of securing the OS is to eliminate the necessity for "trusting" the application.

When you are securing an operating system, you must assume the application that is exposed to the operating environment (be that the internet, local LAN, even simply user logged into the workstation in the case of a GUI or CLI app) is compromised.

The primary goal of most security measures is preventing and detecting privilege escalation and lateral movement within the OS or network.

There are a lot of best practices that apply in general to securing an operating system. If you want to dig deeper, one of the best resources for this information is provided by CIS (Center for Internet Security).

CIS has hardening standards for most OS's yes even including Ubuntu.
https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/ubuntu_linux

These are standards that many security conscious organizations apply to their servers. The US government takes it a step further with DISA's STIGs.

DISA STIG's are similar to CIS's benchmarks, but result in an even more locked down environment and place extreme restrictions on which crypto libraries are allowed to be used.

In short, securing the OS is a standard best practice that all organizations should be doing. Unfortunately most startups lack engineers with the expertise in building custom linux images so a lot of folks are quite unfamiliar with hardening procedures.

You should absolutely NOT use a non-standard OS because you think it will be more secure. It's a much better idea to use known industry standard security benchmarks on supported Linux distributions than trying to bake your own standard some non Debian/RHEL based bistro.
I don't understand why this was downvoted.

Vscode out-the-box is much more complete for coding than Emacs out-the-box.

While my Emacs-foo is not that great, I have relied on it for a lot over 25 years of programming. Recently, though, I gave Vscode a try, and while it's buggy as hell when you load up on the extensions you need, it's not that bad!

Slow? Yes, compared to a Vim or Emacs similarly set up. A wee bit bloated? Certainly, compared to my Vim and Emacs configuration.

But, really, it's the one I recommend to new developers. Not Vim, nor Emacs, even though I use those myself.
Confusing power and energy units seems to be a constant theme not only in reputable press, but in a lot of publications that consider energy, infographics and so on. There are also instances of correct, but confusing units, like KW/h per year when talking about power.

I don't understand it and probably never will. I think at this time readers in much of english-speaking world expect this type of errors and will mind the "correct" language, e.g. simply watts when talking about power.

I think there is a joke somewhere here about all power stations stop working exactly after one year of coming online because of people unable to imagine amount of fuel per unit of time.
I think it is because property (specifically land value) taxes are far too low.

The under taxation of land results in land owners squatting on it without doing anything that society benefits from.
In my context, I live in a different country. Here the real middle-class is taxed way more strictly than in America, due to the high level of inequality skewing the stats.

I'm no where near "well off" or "wealthy", but comfortable middle-class here, and I'm already at the 41% bracket on income only. Effective tax-rate I'm sitting somewhere around 35%, probably higher. And that extra 15% to get us to 50% is easy to arrive to if I take in to account all the various VAT, import taxes, sin taxes, property taxes, etc that are extracted from me by government. E.g. 2% of all my income goes to tax on my modest home, poof.

And that's not even taking in to account all the "public" services I should be getting according to that "social contract" but instead paying the private sector for because they don't exist. Lovely things like fire, health, road maintenance, security, schooling, ambulance services, unemployment, social security for retirement, and who knows what else at this point.

But sure, discard my overall point by making it seem like I said rich people are slaves.
Yeah, I found too I wasn't eating enough. I estimates I was eating around 1500-2000 calories regularly and I never really felt hungry. Once I started forcing myself to eat larger meals I felt a lot better and started feeling hunger again.

I do enjoy things like this, but from a statistical standpoint, I don't think this really tells us all that much? I'm sure if you search hard enough through news archives, you can find at least one person saying something every year that validates your position.

But it does matter if only one person is saying that thing in a particular year, or thousands of people.

As an aside, I also find the idea that work is somehow virtuous to be pretty gross. That's something humanity has invented, not some natural truth. Sure, basic survival does require some amount of work, but beyond that, it's all unnecessary. Some people may want to continue to work more and more, in order to make it possible (in today's capitalist system) to do more than just survive, but we shouldn't look down on people because they've found a particular lifestyle or quality of living that works for them (as long as doing so isn't negatively impacting others).

Beyond that, I think choices like working toward financial independence early are fantastic, and I wish more people could have the opportunity to achieve that. The idea of working for even the old-school expectation of around 45 years (starting work after high school or college, and then retiring in the mid-60s) sounds awful to me... and these days people Not only are there plenty of ambitious people who want to work and build new things (to compensate for those who don't want to), but there are so many bullshit jobs that just don't need to be done, but exist mainly just to feed the self-imposed fiction that work is a virtue.

The use of "c" as the symbol for the speed of light can be traced back to the pioneering work of the French physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel in the early 19th century.

In his research on light and optics, Fresnel used the letter "c" to represent the speed of light in his equations and formulas. The choice of "c" was likely influenced by the Latin word "celeritas" and its association with speed.

> So you're billing a week of elapsed time instead of working time, correct?

Yes, indeed.

> do you find yourself working more or less than the usual working time in a day for freelancers during this week?

As much as the job will require, usually that's roughly between 35 and 45 hours but there have been some very bad exceptions on the high end which ended up me working the weekend as well to finish the job on time. Having work sliced off in weekly increments also helps to keep my agenda manageable, which I would otherwise have serious issues doing.

And the day rate trick works well too: if I do sell a day at that rate I right away have the option to sell more days during that week at the same rate and then instead of having less pay it works out to more and if there is no other work I have almost a whole week off but still 30% of the income.
Which is how you get exposed to new ideas. Learning how to argue for something you don't agree with means actually learning about that thing, in depth.

You will not learn more in a 40 minute debate round than you will in the hundreds of hours you spend *preparing* for debate rounds (which is something that many other forms lack in comparison to policy).

If it's my job to argue the GND is bad, I have to actually learn what the real tenets of it are, because otherwise I'm not going to find evidence to counter their impact and solvency claims. Likewise, if I have to argue it's good, I have to learn what its tenets are in order to find evidence supporting what it can accomplish, etc. (Just using GND as an example, obviously you aren't assigned advocacies in policy)
