We make a lot of small technical decisions daily. Those decisions can be made quickly. For bigger decisions and approaches it’s important to take a bit more time. That’s where technical specifications become very important.

Technical specifications do not serve only for technical alignment between engineers, but they also help with alignment across organization.

Everyone interested in how a certain functionality is developed is available to take a look. This is a very powerful and transparent way to ensure cross-department alignment!
That’s a family membership IIRC. It’s for 5 or 6 people. We don’t have any other streaming services and spend a lot of time watching and listening to YouTube, so it’s well worth it.

If you want to remove those embedded ads, SponsorBlock and DeArrow are great extensions to make YouTube more bearable!
'Bout time you pick up that hobby again (2023)
The truth is, most jobs these days are rather bloated themselves. I do wish you luck in finding a job, but I would also give you this following piece of advice: at the same time while trying to find a job, think about strategies where you can work less and contribute more to society in your local community.

I truly believe that the real opportunities out there are those which are mostly divorced away from the typical LinkedIn posting where it's just some company trying to push more consumerism on the world.
Some people figure out how to carry their charger in 99% of those cases. Some of those people are still on lightning. Some of them have Qi chargers that already work universally.

This is absolutely not a problem for anyone over the age of 18 or with a modicum of personal responsibility.

But hey, at least you’ve legislated a solution that enhances nothing technical, but makes sure that someday you can… borrow a cable? Cool. Big add. Thanks, EU.
> I want you to use my code in your proprietary software.

Most irksome of all, in a fair number of cases they sit centrally on pages covered in ads and SEO keywords. My tools are being associated with a genuinely bad user experience.

This feels like a disconnect between these two. The author wants people to make money off of their work, but is upset when they do it in a less than desirable way.

It seems like a lot of people make this mistake. They publish things of value with very permissive licenses, then are upset when others (out) monetize them.
It's a fun party trick, counting to 2^10-1 (1023) using your fingers! Kids counting 1-10 use, effectively, "unary notation".

One could count even higher if willing to put each finger into an intermediate state, as base-3 or base-4.
And thanks for illustrating the main point: anyone who dared to question the "settled science" got a Twitter rage mob howling at them and hurling feces like a pack of monkeys. Including some "journalists."
I don’t think developers earn 5-10x more than 15 years ago. Assuming you’re using something like $250k as a typical salary (for dev jobs at US tech-hubs) I guarantee you the typical equivalent in 2008 was not $25-50k.
Yes... but when they put 3 and 5 year warranties on devices that suggests that at least enlightened self interest will make sure they that quality control goes into the products.
Let me break my logic down:

Assumptions:

---------------------

1. The average commenter here (me!) knows a little about nuclear fusion, and a lot about online tech news.

2. There are no new ideas.

Background:

------------------------

This big science project is overbudget, making incremental progress, and the timeline is stretching to forever.

That is incredibly similar to the state of rockets 10 years ago - publically funded, making little progress.

Leap of logic:

-------------------------

Somewhere in his subconscious, OP pattern-matched to the only big successful science project in the news recently - SpaceX.

But the subconscious no good at talky talky, and OP didn't trace the train of thought, so what came out was "Shoot them into space".
I came to say the same thing :| It doesn't help that Hugo really does not help you figure out that e.g. your var is slightly misspelled and is going unused. Or much of anything that could go wrong (and frequently does).

There's quite a bit to like at a glance, but I noped out pretty hard after actually trying to use it.
In that context, if, that is, the comparison involved Windows user share, then yes.

Hell, even in a Linux-only context too. I mean, an exchange like:

- We're shipping this enterprise software in packages compatible with RHEL and Ubuntu, would it be worth our while to also devote resources to specifically support Arch too?

- Nah, nobody uses Arch

While not accurate to the maximum possible precision (something like say 5% of Linux users is not the same as 0%), it would still be quite understandable...

That wasn't the point of this exercise - nobody is saying that these are actual code examples you'd see in real life.

The point is that in lots of languages these statements would simply result in compile time errors. In JS, though, the type coercion rules are so loose (and in many cases extremely non-obvious) that you can see this head-scratching behavior.

It's the same underlying behavior that leads to very cool/very insane stuff like JSFuck: https://jsfuck.com/
“As will other innovation”

I really didn’t use that many words.
That’s a bit too casual of a dismissal of an active, major branch of philosophy of mathematics which holds that all mathematics is invented.

This is the problem. You keep talking about "philosophy of mathematics" and I'm talking about programming.

Finally, I want to say that I think it’s a mistake to think of monads as some set of restrictions that Haskell’s designers put in place to keep people out, like some twisted “you must be this tall to ride the rollercoaster” gatekeeping.

I don't know if anyone thinks that. It just isn't useful to write programs with an arbitrary albatross around your neck because someone else is obsessed with philosophy and set theory.
> No it won't. Americans are too deluded by car culture to ever let that happen.

How has no one mentioned the actual reason it won’t happen? Texas citizens are not so enamored with cars that they prevent this from happening. Texans that frequently travel between Houston and Dallas fly Southwest Airlines because Southwest has spent an inordinate amount of money lobbying to prevent rail[0].

> Furthermore, HSR also requires some level of last mile connectivity by local mass public transit.

What do you think all the current business travelers are doing with their cars when they fly?

Especially with terms like "real-time" that aren't tremendously well-defined in the first place. 100% of real-time systems I've seen in production defer some amount of work to out-of-band batches. In payments even parts of the critical path are reconciled once a day!
I will email Gordon. Maybe he can contribute.
> Video was supposed to be the future. Instead, it’s just another way to pick up the phone.

If you are using it to replace a phone call, then yes. It is just another way to pickup a phone.

On the other hand, I've worked with teams that use video as a virtual team room where a small team (3 to 5 developers) hangs out most of the time just like they would in a physical team room. They tend to mob or pair program most of the time. Sub groups break out occasionally if they need to work on something in parallel. Business owners just "drop in" to ask questions or provide feedback. Other teams that need to coordinate just jump into the room instead of trying to setup meetings.

Not every one wants to work like that, but video can provide a way of enabling highly collaborative environments that typically would only happen by giving the team their own room and requiring everyone to come into the office.
I’m in awe of your seemingly psychic ability to sense people’s emotions over the internet.

However seeing personal insults everywhere and feeling the need to respond in kind seems rather tiresome.
On a similar note, something I've observed is that the feeling of tiredness in the afternoon doesn't necessarily correlate with how much I've done in the hours prior.

Recently I started doing more things in the morning hours, with the hope that I'd be more effective at those tasks (especially the more mentally taxing ones) earlier in the day than when I had been doing them previously, which was typically in the afternoon or evening.

Intuitively, this would lead to better productivity in the earlier half of the day at the cost of reducing it in the latter half. Instead, my afternoon and evening energy levels remained unchanged or even improved a bit, meaning that I now get more done with no apparent cost. This is of course welcome but it was quite unexpected, and suggests that some amount of the "tired" feeling is more a result of conditioning than energy expenditure.
Oops! Fixed now
Some people like driving taxis/Lyfts.
A proof of what concept?
First, this is a fantastic way to learn, such a great exercise!

It's also fun to see the author ponder some of the older and now unused elements, speculating on their use, when "back in the day" they were thrilling to suddenly have access to.

That said, handcrafting HTML through every rev since Mosaic, I don't like MDN because of retcon changes like "description list". I prefer original spec, "definition list".

To me dl, dt, dd, makes more sense to think of as "definition list", with defined terms, and defined definitions.

OK, description is broader than definition, but for me, definition is easier to remember the list (dl) has terms (dt) and definitions (dd).

And W3 calls it "definition list":

There's probably a reason why haml (and also coffeescript) didn't take off and got abandoned.

If anyone knows the reason, feel free to share.
Thanks - yeah just having some fun over here!
no i mean the fact that JS was invented in 1995 and isn't well designed because we didn't know what we know now. I'm a professional golang developer and it just feels obvious to me when writing go; wow, this language was well thought out and fixed a lot of mistakes from 1995. (In a way that TypeScript doesn't even come close)
Self aggrandizing comparison, whole article is a humblebrag about how powerful the author is. You're an insignificant spec compared to the old grand lizard. In your most destructive, you are nothing like him. In your most heroic moments, you are nothing like him.

What's happening? Google is a company where you are not the customer, you are the product. They have also reached a mature stage where the only thing left to do is squeeze society tightly for short-term gain through psychological manipulation. I trust neither the company nor anyone working there.

You choose against a language because of code that any sane person, which I hope includes yourself, would never write intentionally?

Awesome Youtube channel. Clear and well paced story telling.
Slightly challenging one. Find the potential bug.

const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

for (let i = arr.length - 1; 0 < i; i--) {

}
Blame the culture, or blame the "adults"?
1. Masks, that vaccines would prevent transmission, etc. This has been testified to in Congress.

2. Robert Malone had his views censored on social media by the government, along with other examples from the Twitter Files — which outline government requests to censor on the topic of COVID.

3. The vaccines are experimental and went through an emergency use approval — despite existing treatments like monoclonal antibodies. They didn’t have standard testing for pregnancy effects and didn’t have proper testing for boosters.
I agree. It seems like an obviously tongue in cheek submission rather than any kind of profit focused product. It even has a link to the open sourced version at the bottom.
These are awesome, but it would be nice to understand, even at some heuristic level, why they're periodic with the period they do have.

Alternatively, what is a change to a completely periodic orbit to chaos with the same "periodic symmetry" that gives some enlightenment of where the chaos is being inserted and why it isn't destroying the periodic orbit.

Does anyone have an idea of whats' going on, or references that I can look at?

Abyssal zones of the ocean are only populated by creatures that feed on hydrothermal vents, or dead creatures falling down from the surface. But the mid pacific has no hydrothermal vents and the surface is a dead zone due to human activity. So there is no source of food for life to exist here, and outside of the occasional whale fall it is truly dead.

I agree about React, I use it at my day job and the ecosystem is huge, but Solid is winning my heart these days.

I just don't agree that it's React devs being curmudgeons, I think that's just HN being HN.

I think an aortic aneurysm is what took out John Ritter.

He was in terrific shape, and just dropped dead.

I know someone else that was also in great shape (AT through-hiker), and died of a brain aneurysm. They found him dead in his RV, in Vermont.

We all have today, and right now, is the only guarantee.

I also know folks that have very bad quality of life, yet somehow, manage to have a great attitude.
Center Cam kind of does that, but not with a pin hole.

Sometimes a dedicated monitor set back on your desk with a web cam low above the screen can help give more of a "looking in in the eyes" feel.

That makes sense. I guess I would expect the state to be more conservative in its rulings than the city.
> No, JS is not weird, your code is weird.

My code has bugs occasionally, because I'm a human. Which is why I would like my programming language to return errors when I make obvious mistakes.

> Like, can you tell me a language where it does make sense to "apply AND to an empty string and a (negative?) zero"?

No I cannot, which is why I can't imagine why JavaScript wouldn't return an error for this situation.
ah, I see. You have a one-way view of political leanings. Got it. You're not only deplorable if you question "the science," you're deplorable if you use the word "deplorable."

also, skipping over the most egregious thing of all: censoring anyone who suggested lab-leak.
Not sure what you mean? I’m also not super happy paying the amount that I do for rent. That doesn’t mean I don’t like my apartment or that I’m not willing to stomach that extra amount for the value I get.

I’d prefer they were both cheaper. That doesn’t prevent me from seeing the value they provide me.
I generally avoid Google products, but I do not understand the animosity towards YouTube, nor why anyone would not just pay the very small fee for YouTube Premium and do away with all the ads. The content being created for YouTube is fantastic, you can easily watch news from all over the world, conference talks, lectures, interviews, in-depth documentaries and deep dive analysis that blows away anything you'll ever see on any mainstream platform. One particular strength is that creators don't seem too bound to producing videos for specific length of time. There are literally informative mini-documentaries 90 seconds long while others might go on for 4 hours and they cover every imaginable topic. This is definitely the last subscription I'd give up if I had to.
I've got a Core i7-3770K at 4ghz-ish.

As far as performance goes, yeah, totally fine for almost anything including gaming. Maybe not crushing big video editing projects but I don't do that. According to various benchmarks my other machine, a Core i5-13xxxx is "only" about 2x as fast single-threaded. Not a massive difference for CPUs released over 10 years apart.

The 3770K apparently won't be able to run Windows 11 because of lack of TPM support and Windows 10 will be discontinued in a few years. I guess the 4790 will be in the same boat?

Not sure I care. I guess it can still be a gaming machine as long as MS issues critical updates. I don't use these things for work anyway.
I am an old man and have learned some things about myself. I was an athlete when younger and am quite good at listening to what my various parts say when it comes to injuries or various kinds of use. Others in my age group like my wife who spent less time doing athletic work when younger are lacking this signal and get injured more often.

However I also worked quite a lot when younger and do not at all hear my body say it is tired or thirsty. Getting an Oura ring has been tremendously helpful, having a signal in terms of tiredness and proper sleep quantity. I take naps now when my "readiness" is low.

I have no signal when it comes to thirst, but can report that getting a fancy ice machine and a fancy seltzer maker in the last few years to make it fun to stay hydrated has been a total life changer. I now drink 3-4 quarts of water a day and I notice on the other side of that all kinds of improvements. But I do not recognize their absenses if I don't follow the drinking regemin. I mean, I do a little bit now, but not really.

Upshot: bodies are probably equally good at generating signal but every brain has different training and tuning as to which signals it picks up, and which ones it ignores.

Cheers.

Because much of medical science is based on assumptions about how the unknown works.

You can test gravity using [almost] any method you want and nobody will care.

> a libertarian outlook

Yes, I am a libertarian. Libertarianism is often derided as "simplistic" and "naive". The irony is it's anything but simplistic and naive. It's difficult to understand how order can arrive from chaos. It's difficult to understand how greed and selfishness produces great prosperity for a population.

Simplistic is the Star Trek world, which is ruled by an all-wise, incorruptible, benign dictator. It's the progressive vision of Utopia. The idea is that with enough laws (backed up by force) and enough propaganda, people will behave selflessly and will cooperate for the common good. Why this fails constantly baffles people, and they just reach for more laws and more force.
As someone who's hiked barefoot with pack for weeks on mountain trails in Nepal, I've come to the conclusion that "ankle support" is not what is promises. I have rolled my ankle often enough when I was younger, but never when hiking or walking barefoot. (Of course there are other dangers, but that is not the point here.) Nowadays I like to hike in five-finger type footwear. Boots have their uses (stomping through the roughest terrain), but you always best off paying attention to what you do in whatever mode you hike around.
This is going to be one of those areas where many (but not all) HN + reddit users will need to check their bubble at the door. Both Microsoft and Google are widely trusted brands whether you slice it by consumers, developers, etc.

Average income in tech-hub area in 2007 was: $85,355 for "Software Developers"[0]

Salary for developers that we discuss on HN seems to be in the region of $250k base, but that's not factoring in TC- which seems to be the bulk of income for the last 5 years. It's not unheard of around here to hear people talking about pulling in half-million if they are ex-FAANG. Which is nearly everybody these days.

Since you come right out and say that everyone believes their side is good and the other side is corrupt, it seems fair to ask: which side are you supporting, and which are you saying is corrupt and unethical? :-)
Press F12.
This is a dumb take. They're both equally untrustworthy. VSCode has an insane amount of telemetry turned on, ChatGPT is monitoring everything you type, and GitHub was abused to train a LLM. Microsoft and Google have both shown they would sell your data in a heartbeat to make a quick buck.
make this make sense? what is this literally about? what is a coherent thought here? cause all that shows is just a haphazardly thrown together table of random stuff.

microsoft has just as shitty of a track record with killing products, poor privacy and overt data collection/telemetry, and just shitty/stagnating products.

like, remember that time they had a myriad of consumer products going on around windows 7/8 era, and then seemingly killed them all? windows phone, nokia/lumia, zune, xbox/groove music, microsoft band, and now cortana. a whole bunch of stuff that made up a holistic experience, that just does not exist anymore, not even presently within just microsoft.
