I'm on the VS Code team and maintain xterm.js which is what Hyper's frontend is based on. There are actually multiple developments happening in this area.

First, there's a contribution from the author of DomTerm which adds grapheme cluster support to xterm.js, which will correctly merge and size things like emoji that are called out in the post. This is currently based on Unicode 15. See https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/pull/4519

Second, while Windows Terminal does seem to work with emoji sometimes, it doesn't all the time. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may only work on Windows ptys, not in WSL for example. Last time I spoke with the team they said they're working on a rewrite which could lead to proper emoji support.
> BARRERO: You could write an email asking for those instructions and for that clarification, and it might delay your action a couple of minutes. That delay seems to be kind of what is dropping the productivity, kind of these frictions to communication.

What can we do to ease this kind of friction?

The example here is a little weird though -- it's the situation of a police dispatcher ... in which case, yeah e-mail as a low-latency communication volume in an emergency situation is less than ideal.
A History of Superconductivity (2023)
I used Wikipedia and the timeline in http://www.superconductors.org/History.htm to create a visualization of critical temperatures of newly discovered superconductor materials, and notable events throughout the last 100 years.

I also built the tool to make this visualization: https://www.contextualize.ai
I'm not making any assumption. I'm speaking from my personal experience.

Yes, if I'm somewhere without internet I can't get a lot done. But that's true whether I'm running programs locally or remotely.

Based on the number of people that show up on HN every time GitHub/GitLab/etc go down, I don't think I have any unusual dependencies that nobody else does.
I got a pack of Uno cards recently - and never considered that they were fake, until I got out our other set - and suddenly it was clear the card stock was totally different, and it was missing the copywrite wording. But until that point I had no reason to think they'd be fake. It is a park of Uno cards that sell for £5 to £10 - but then go to Temu and find (fake?) packs for £2.50 delivered, so I guess the mark-up is worth it for someone.
There’s a big difference between limiting SKU count to simplify operations and products being curated to be “the best” and most trustworthy options.

Natural foods stores have much more stringent standards on things like artificial colors, animal treatment, and use of chemicals.

For example, Tide Original is banned in New York for having too much of a cancer-causing chemical. Costco sells it. Costco sells products with artificial colors linked to ADHD in children. Costco’s best organic eggs are visibly and nutritionally inferior to eggs from pasture-raised chickens.

The fact that Costco doesn’t sell low quality private label and discount brand items has more to do with customer demographic than trust and curation.

This is also the store that allows third-party companies’ representatives to harass customers about solar panels and DirecTV in the store. “Trustworthy.”

They’re really no different on “trust” than Walmart or Target, and I think people need to stop being a part of its retail cult and take it for what it is: a store with good prices on staple goods.
It looks from outside that they are doing relatively OK. Ruble still didn't crater, the high prices of fossil fuels partially compensated lower exports. They try to increase the trade with China and India to offset sanctions.

Of course, like it was said many times before, war economy works - until it doesn't. It will be very hard to time such collapse: it might be next week, next month or even not before the war itself ends.
Related: some coffee cups.

Arcopal Volcan, late '70s/early 80's. Quality, beautiful design & craftmanship. I don't know any modern product that comes near. Almost as old as I am, used daily, but looks new. Weren't expensive either. Just hard to find.

Each time I pick it up, sip my coffee, or hold it in sunlight, my day is a little more joyful vs. using regular store-bought mug.

Manufacturer taking pride in their skills & doing what they can to fabricate the best product possible, vs. today's race-to-the bottom cheap crap where enduser opinion doesn't matter as long as a profit can be made.
This depends on your definition of "properly", a market doesn't require either. E.g. a market for fine art usually has no sellers most of the time, it might not be properly functioning but it's a market and still follows the same principle: people will sell for as much as they can possibly get and buy for as little as possible.

My friend is currently learning data engineering and so far it has been a mixed bag, the teacher was only exposed to the teaching materials a week before the beginning of the course, and they just found out most of the new course content isn’t finished yet.

It’s a pretty reputable bootcamp, in the past they had great teachers but it looks like certain batches are less lucky than others, my friend has been struggling a lot but I guess it’s part of “the charm of it”.

Honestly I see bootcamps as a way to force yourself to ingest as much material as possible within a few weeks, you always have to fill the gaps anyway, and it’s usually good for networking, I was told.
This is all interesting - would you be willing to go on more about Russian vernacular/stereotypes? My background is solely USA and I find it really impossible to learn these things - online. I do think the easiest way would be to go out and make Russian friends and such but - ideally that isn't something I want to really do. I guess I could try to find online communities of Russians, but even then - it is conflating a country to a language (which I think is sort of uniformly spoken in several countries?)
What does the title intended to mean? It's summarized at the end.

> But monitoring your logs looks productive and certainly sounds good and proper. You can write some positive matches to find known problems, you can write some negative matches to discard noise, you can 'look for anomalies' and then refine your filtering, and so on. That's what makes it a tarpit; it's quite easy to thoroughly mire yourself in progressively more complex log monitoring.

Nothing surprising here. Spend only the time that's worthwhile and has a point. I don't think I've done any bottom-up (just because) log analysis other than counting logged exception types/sites.
I'd be curious to hear you expand on this point. I think I see what you're saying, but I'd love a little more detail.
Is this supposed to be a generic drop in replacement for cross platform admin tools like Dbgate or Dbeaver? Or is it more of a specialized tool to do a specific thing?
I just took a quick look at condenser application you linked. Only supports Postgresql and MySQL. This is often the case with none Java tools. They tend to support a select few number of databases. With tools that support JDBC you will be able to connect to most databases. That is often my challenge as someone who works in BI.

What lacks in Germany is not GPUs. In fact cluster time is abundant for researchers at top tier research institutes or unis. What lacks is private investment. The whole economy is controlled by a bunch of old fucks who have no clue about any kind of tech and no appetite for risk. Because of the lack of private investment there are also no jobs in the field.
So, we're doing trains badly.

I am more interested if the Boring's TBM technology actually dig any faster.
I don't think it's a problem if the requirements are clear, the artist knows how much a work like it takes, and it's understood that it will be delivered as is; there might be some room for input from the customer, and some rework negotiated in, but you're not putting in unexpected new work.

The scope doesn't change. When a product has been completed, with all negotiated re-work, the final bill is due, or you pay for more work. Intellectual property transfers after final payment. It doesn't have to be this hard.
I ended up in the winding mountain roads near Saratoga without cell service, and though I had SF downloaded on Google Maps, I hadn't added the rest of the Bay. We decided we wanted to change our destination and realized we wouldn't have any further navigation only after canceling our current trip.

But then I remembered I had Organic Maps tucked away, ready to go, with a highly detailed map of California for offline navigation use.

Big thanks to Organic Maps for making me seem prepared and allowing me to recover gracefully from what could otherwise have been a somewhat annoying situation.

I was at Intel when Jim Keller came. He was one of the most inspiring technical leaders I have ever encountered. He obviously had very strong engineering knowledge as well. When he came in, he took some time to really understanding our process and challenges. Then he created 5 areas that Intel needed to improve. He said “we are going to fix these, or burn down the place trying”. And these weren’t vague goals like “execute more effectively” or “be customer obsessed”, but really concrete and measurable things like “reduce empty silicon area by 50%”. He had a task force of principle engineers on each task, and every meeting he would spend almost the entire time going into detail of the progress and challenges on them. Anytime someone would complain and say the goal couldn’t be done, his response was “AMD did it, why can’t you?”. He was always trying to simplify things and cut through complexity. His vision was that if we hit those 5 targets, we would win the market. As an engineer, his clear vision and strong technical understanding made him the best leader I have ever been under.

it’s a pity he left Intel so quickly. After he was gone, his 5 goals basically fell by the wayside. I don’t think people like being told they’re doing it wrong. I still try to listen to any podcast or interview with him, because I think he has many deep insights.
MCUs are created using still relatively ancient tech and we still have shortages of those.

Many chips don't need fancy new tech.
That’s a particularly confusing example as only 3 are actually emoji and the other 7 are inline images.

Why? It would be next to meaningless now but have to be supported forever. This actually exemplifies why they need to be more strict about what goes in.
> By 2100, each of Pakistan, the D.R.C. and Kenya are forecast to have larger populations than America. Is it unrealistic to assume they won’t be at parity with the west in eighty years?

Pakistan has the best chances to rise, at least assuming religious / ethnic tensions can be somewhat placated, it doesn't become a hotbed of natural disasters like last year's floods and they don't either get into open war with India or suffer from some sort of coups by the military or secret services.

Kenya and especially Congo? That's a different game entirely. Climate change, utter poverty and endemic corruption are just a couple of the hurdles to pass.
This is my perspective as well. I look at SQL as a defacto functional-relational programming language precisely as advertised in Out of the Tar Pit - Chapter 9.

Thanks to Sheldon Brown I’ve learned how important it is to place the front derailleur as low and far at front as possible. Reduces or eliminates the need for trimming (Trim-Position) and provides better shifting.
> log levels matter. Logging messages are structured data.

Swift has those [0][1] and other features like jumping to the file and line of code from where the log was generated, but I wish there was a way to easily add extra information to each message in the debug console such as the current frame being rendered etc. Something I've been wrestling to do for the past few days, but if I write a custom logging function, then the IDE's debug console thinks every log message was generated from my custom function.

And god I wish we started making use of COLOR within text-heavy information. Being able to color different words/values in a log message would massively improve readability and comprehension.

Do note that you haven’t even attempted to answer my question.
Well you can set a departure time and it gives "Typically ..." so it must have some information like that. And their Waze gives a graph of journey times by time of departure.
It does seem that way, at least assuming that the APIs are stable - and I assume they will be since the whole point is that both sides won't have to coordinate their releases.

I think there’s a lot of value if it’s possible to make saas as low cost as software.

Software that I write and you run on your machine costs me nothing extra per user to run (assuming I provide zero user support). So I, and others, don’t mind sharing so much.

That’s not the same for saas as there’s a cost for each user.

It seems to me that there are more saas utilities that are needed and that’s resulting in less free software.

Figuring out some kind of super low cost grid/distributed compute that doesn’t get abused to death seems important to having more software shared and thus a wonderful future state for humanity.

So even basic stuff like a password manager service is costing $5/month/user and I don’t think they scales. I run hundreds of little utilities thatI accumulate over my life. I can’t afford to pay $5/month for all of them and so would like to find some way to solve this so when there are real non-zero costs per user it can be covered and scaled. (Obviously some companies and people don’t want to give their stuff away for free and wish to sell their service, more power to them, but there’s not really a way for me to offer something that needs saas functions without me standing up and running a server and that’s a very different task than just writing software, giving it away and buggering off).
I spent a lot of time on this topic (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37048434). Feel free to get in touch and discuss. I'm happy to help.
I've taken to advocating for the "don't generate an alert for this unless the team needs to be called in at 3am" school of alert engineering.

I had kermit beat by a year. From 1979-1980 I was a consultant and worked on several CP/M and MP/M systems. Standalone CP/M such as Vector Graphic (S-100 system) and a sweet MP/M system with Televideo terminals. In those days everyone's diskette formats were proprietary even though the CP/M base and 8080 assembler was standard. WordStar would run once you patched its terminal codes and told it the UART base port for serial printer port. But how to get it there, and the growing list of diagnostic utilities I was collecting?

In late 1979 I wrote a simple file transfer utility called MFT (multi file transfer) in 8080 assembler. It was meant to transfer over a 9600,N,8,1 or 19200,N,8,1 serial line between two computers. It sent file names over the link with the files and did full handshake 256 byte packets with checksum to do it slowly but reliably. When you wrote to diskette in those days you'd better not have any I/O happening. It supported wildcards (no directories in CP/M days)and would copy everything to the new system.

It would work but only if MFT.COM was already on the new machine. To bootstrap it I built an ASCII file consisting of CP/M debugger commands that assembled MFT.COM into memory an instruction at a time, told the debugger it was named MFT.COM, and wrote its span of memory onto the new machine's disk and exited the debugger. All I had to do was set the COM ports to something slow that both machines could handle reliably like 1200,N,8,1 and run debug on the new machine piped from COM1, and send the ASCII file with the debug sequence.

Then fire up MFT.COM and transfer everything else at 'high' speed. I ported WordStar and CP/M accounting systems and data to new machines, and handled every new Kaypro or Osborne etc. that came along. None of my customers ever had to 'repurchase' a master diskette in some proprietary CP/M diskette format.
I read that after seeing the link in your comment.

I didn't care for the conclusions drawn in the story, but I liked the story itself and the multimedia aspects of it were engaging and fun.

Most people buy the cheapest version because they don't have a reliable way of knowing if the more expensive items are actually higher quality. It's a "market for lemons" problem:

You're wrong, your parent is correct. NL government had to block sales of ASML EUV machines to China on the US's request since they didn't want to enable China build advanced chips.

ASML definitely wanted to sell to China to increase their quarterly revenues but couldn't because the US owns the IP for the EUV tech and ASML's EUV light sources are made by CYMER in the US, which ASML bought but they're still under US trade restrictions.

So no, ASML and the NL government have to dance according to the moves dictated by the US gov as they own the keys to EUV tech, not ASML/NL.
For me, creative work only feels good when it's useful or serves a purpose to someone. I like art, but being creative for the sake of creativity does little for me.

It's easy to get immersed into that sort of creative work, but as with all things, moderation and balance are key. You have to spend your time like money.

Can you ban unions via a settlement to a civil suit? That would be madness. Oh these other people decided they wanted a big payout instead of a union, so no unions for anyone forever!

I think the problem is that unions can be quite hard to create to begin with. Lots of people have to stick their neck out, and often lose their career. Not that many people at any given company have much power. Most people are trying to make ends meet.
Time to stop posting news on X then I guess. The majority of people don't have accounts.
Compressor model log watcher. When a log entry has unusually high entropy score it higher. Add that to your regexp tables of "things to watch for" and even a very simple parser can give you a better first pass log filter than an untrained intern.

"structured or not" is a valid discussion; but irrelevant to the point. We're not good at watching our logs for the things we wanted to see; nor are we good at emitting the data we want in the logs in the first place. Too many conflicting purposes in the same place.
No, the main reason why companies turn to shit is because they’re publicly traded and accept VC money so sooner or later, they’re beholden to shareholders demanding infinite growth and profits.
Not a fan of that comma, but it's probably there to make the best of an awkward sentence structure.

Use the interactive rebase. It shows a list of commits which you can reorder, squash, remove or edit.

Reordering is pretty powerful. If you made a mistake, commit the fix, then move it to the commit where you introduced the mistake, and squash. Removing broken commits makes `bisect` nicer to use when you're desperate enough to use it.

Obviously don't do this on commits you've already published.

Yes, but it’d need to be more transparent - as in you’d just launch a program from your default graphical program launcher, and the program itself would automatically select what resources, local and remote, would be used.
