I mean, I really don't know how I could've been clearer in my original comment, beyond hedging it around with a lot of "not all atheists" disclaimers that I didn't think would be necessary alongside how specific I was already being. Apparently they were, because none of the responses that comment has elicited have had anything to do with what I was talking about, but instead were meant to counter a much more general criticism than the one I actually made.

It doesn't need an olive branch because, as eventually became clear, whatever argument was being pursued here wasn't with anything I'd said, or indeed anything to do with me - judging by your other comment you seem still to think I'm religious! Even were I otherwise inclined to, it'd be impossible to take offense on the back of such a total misapprehension.

But you're right that we all have better ways to spend our time.
Actually, I said what I said, and using the correct gender pronouns is non-negotiable. Be respectful of HER identity. Your behavior is vile.
Are you implying you can't read? I said "ads". I didn't talk about spying.

Problem with "spying" is that nearly every company that can, is trying to. I'm not familiar with dassault systemes but wouldn't be surprised if they did too, to "improve their products". The degree of sophistication obviously varies.

The top comment was incredibly reductive and it seems it's going to turn into a pointless flamewar soon enough.
Mosquito coils are very efficient for keeping mosquitoes away. I use them in the rainforest where there's a lot of mosquitoes. I light a coil before I go to bed, they last 8 hours. Mosquito nets are also efficient to keep them out.
This comment is overly-dramatized, but has a point which is perhaps more subtle. There is a difference between training their attention mechanisms and exploiting their attention mechanisms. The vast majority of this ‘educational content’ is on the exploitation side.

Sorry if it sounds rude, but have you used the web on the desktop in the past 10 years? Anything under 1000px-wide windows and sometimes 1200px-wide ones gets you the “mobile menu” on most websites. It’s a consequence of Bootstrap and other fixed-breakpoint frameworks. Overflow menus like what you see on GitHub repositories are the minority.
Good idea. You would have to edit your annotation layer in case the text data changes though.

It's a nice tool, but it also shows the shortcomings of shell commands.

In a proper programming language, we'd have something like

parallel [1..5], i => { sleep random()*10+5; possibly_flaky i }
// [{"Seq": 4, "Host": ":", "Starttime": 1692491267...

And `parallel` would only have to worry about parallelization.

Instead, the shell environment forces programs to invent their own parameter separator (:::), a templating format ({1}), and a way to output a list of structures (CSV-like). You can see the same issues in `find`, where the exec separator is `\;`, the template is `{}`, and the output is delimited by \n or \0. And `xargs` does it in yet another different way.

It's very hard to acquire and retain mastery over a toolbox where every tool reinvents the basics. If you ever found yourself searching "find exec syntax" multiple times in a week, it's not your fault.

As for alternatives, I'm a fan of YSH[1] (Javascript-like), Nushell[2] (reinvented from first-principles for simplicity and safety) and Fish[3] (bash-like but without the footguns). Nushell is probably my favorite from the bunch, here's a parallel example:

ls | where type == dir | par-each { |it|
{ name: $it.name, len: (ls $it.name | length) }
}

The loop macro is an interesting example as its pretty much a mini language within Lisp just for looping purposes that doesn't use the normal s-expression based syntax - which is either a bad thing or a great example of how powerful Lisp can be... Personally, when I used to write Common Lisp for a living (a long long time ago) I was very fond of loop.

As for "it's all just lists" - Common Lisp directly supports a variety of different mechanisms for structuring data, including the rather wonderful CLOS.
Isn't this overly simplistic and reductionist?

You're ignoring that many of the large American tech companies provide cloud platforms, which certainly fits the bill of "providing tools to manufacture stuff"

Switzerland has great workers rights plus salaries slightly below the median (in tech), but way higher for most other professions. Overall much better distributed wealth. Here you're easily getting 120k+ for regular tech jobs in your 30ies.

How people can (still) be in favor of hustle culture and work for companies that actively prevent unions and live in societies that encourage unequalness to such a great extend is beyond my understanding.

> The decapitation offensive was an escalation in an already existing conflict. If anything triggered it I would say it was the failure of Russian influence ops in the US, and the roll up of their agents e.g. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-us-fbi-deripaska-sanctions/32...

In the end its going to be a bunch of things, perhaps including the ones you noted. For example, I've read credible analysis suggesting that the Russian demographic implosion is a long-term driver: in a decade they may not have enough military age people to operate even their weak military and economy at the same time. That makes them vulnerable to India and China and, in their paranoid fantasies, Europe.

But re brexit, the rolling political weakness in the UK, and its severe lack of credibility in Europe, must have looked like it would help their more recent ambitions in Ukraine. I'm fairly confident that brexit will eventually be shown to be at least partly due to organised financing and political disinformation from the Russian state, and I'd be surprised if didn't fit onto some projected timelines in some ministry in Moscow.

Yep.
A simpler spec means more competition, which is more sustainable than 50 standardized APIs. More competition means having an easier time finding the perfect browser (or even make your own).

I do not know about Gemini but the problem with current minimal formats is that they cannot evolve without change to the spec, they lack emergence. And therefore when you want to expand on it, you need to add complexity to the spec, not your code.

One of the idea I had was to make all websites provide natural language text, without any standardization (send whatever text you want).

Which would have these benefits:

- Ease website development, your goal is to make the text as simple as possible to understand for a human.

- (also means that website won't have the luxury to send unnecessary data anymore)

- More performant.

- Literally cannot break as it does not depend on any standard. Text will remain understandable forever.

- You can have an infinite amount of browsers, some may only render the raw text, some may render the text and give you very fast tips as to how you should render it, and others dedicated to specific disabilities.

- You can have a working browser in a matter of hours. And the way you expand on it is independent from how the server operates.

- No fancy standard can appear to break this simplicity, as many people would depend on the text being unopinionated.

- Can still support anything the web currently does, but tracking without contentment will become harder. As users would have a deeper understanding of what the website actually is, its text is on plain sight.
Hi, this was enlightening. I'm a dude who has IIH myself for now almost half a decade and I was at no point told this could reduce my cognitive abilities. I take Diamox just in case (to reduce the intracranial fluid).

It was a heering experience to get this diagnosed. One day all of a sudden my head started hurting and didn't stop, for months. But I had no other symptoms so doctors didn't take me seriously and my neurologist appointment was several months AFTER the onset of the symptoms (yes, months!).

That was until I accidentally went to an ER ophthalmologist who saw my optic eye nerves and went holy smokes. I went through so much pain. All of this at a very young age. I developed severe anxiety and depression.

I haven't done well academically speaking compared to my peers. I feel shitty about this everyday, since all of my friends are better off than me.

I'm on HN but not in IT (I am inept at programming, tried several times, I am just not capable of it), but various friends of mine are in IT and make 5x my salary and it makes me feel worthless, because they enjoy life at a different level than I do because of their income. Nicer homes, cars, stability in finances, etc... It makes me feel like I'm just not worthy of life because hey, if they can make it, why can't I? I am supposidly as capable as they are... right?

Thank you for making me aware I have an illness that can make me a bit less capable compared to my peers.

I'm going to use this to be less harsh on myself and hopefuly find something in which I find myself better off one day within my own limitations.

Thank you.

How many "Select all squares with..." captchas do I have to solve to access the site? I closed the tab on the fourth iteration.
12GB/s seems a bit slow. I'd expect the only bottleneck to be memory bandwidth.

A dual channel DDR4 system memory bandwidth is ~40GB/s, and DDR5 ~80GB/s.

Since this operation requires both a read and a write, you'd expect half that.
So many of these ideas have become implemented, in a hodge-podge of disparate mechanisms.

Does anyone know how much of TAO really existed and if it can be accessed today?

Great advice!

I realize this is going to sound dumb, but please also consider that we all (almost all) carry natural ear plugs with us in the form of our hands/fingers. When sound gets loud, do not hesitate to plug in quickly. Damage to our hearing apparatus depends on intensity and duration, so the sooner you plug the better.

It may be safer to plug your ears with your fingers quickly than to spend a few seconds looking for your fancy -33 dB ear plugs, as unexpected loud noises tend to surprise us but not last very long (ambulance, fighter jet, honking, etc).

In addition to this, there are lots of sound level measuring apps for our smartphones and it can be helpful to measure long lasting levels at venues (concerts, bars, etc). Airplane cabin noise is surprisingly loud. Noise canceling headphones are a great tool for this scenario.

Finally, remember that hearing damage is cumulative: what many of your peers will tolerate fine may not work for you and vice versa. Watch for "the straw that breaks the camel's back".

If your hearing apparatus has already been insulted, treat it with lots of care. If it hasn't already been insulted, treat it with lots of care.

It's a power game. Presumably less Americans visit places that require visas since there are enough places that don't. So Americans may not want to go to Europe as much. Currently plenty of European tourists go to America, so maybe that doesn't bother them as much.
Pick a third world country like Jamaica. Americans can go there visa free, and Jamaica wants Americans to continue to come, so it stays visa free. However Jamaicans require Visas to go to the US, because the US had decided that it doesn't need to encourage Jamaicans to come to the US, enough already do.
Or we could just offer secure voter IDs to everyone that is legally eligible to vote free of charge.

It could be like selective service. Sign up after your eighteenth birthday to vote.

Also, use scantron style ballots that use computers to automate vote counting but not vote casting, with members of all major political parties monitoring polling stations and vote counting to ensure everything is above board.
Counter-intuitively my usual go-to is to SSH in from another device (phone, tablet, another computer). 95% of the time when the UI is locked up the ssh daemon is still responsive.

Note: I also do this on macOS but it’s much less useful since there are very few commands to actually restore a session that’s locked up.

> Recruiters would say to sent a copy-paste template response back and ask for 50% over your current income? Love to meet them, in that case.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

> TBH your advice can apply to any part of life: most of it sucks but you get some gems.

I agree and to counterpoint my previous argument, compassion for these recruiters is important because discounting them all cuts you off from opportunity. All I can say to that is be open to things outside of your expectations, but also don't allow people to violate your values. You have to speak up for yourself, with self respect and dignity. These people are trained to "make it happen" not to ensure long-term success.

I think for me it's a "I've been burned and I have difficulty trusting" situation. I find that the incentives for this industry do not align with the people it serves. Who it serves is the real customer, and the money serves the customer.

Who's the customer, the employee or the employer? The system is working as expected, it's not made for me.
Don't plan to watch the video...but I loved Grooveshark! I couldn't believe it was legal. Turns out it wasn't.
> I don't know how useful this is.

I think very. I've never designed anything based on arbitrary breakpoints (md, lg, xl and whatever numbers they might translate to) because that forces me to make design choices around those constraints.

The only way to sanely add breakpoints in my opinion is to gradually reduce the width of your page and search for things that start looking off. Are your paragraphs starting to look a little cramped? Add a breakpoint at that width, maybe remove the sidebar, maybe lower paddings and margins to allow it to stay a little longer, maybe manually reduce font size or switch your column layout to rows if applicable. Keep doing that until you get to ~350px width and everything looks fine. You decide what needs to change when it makes sense rather than being told that something needs to change at some specific breakpoint.

Since I've heard about propane fridges I don't understand why we don't use such a thermal-solar AC everywhere. Like using the sun itself to cool you off without even needing moving parts sounds like the holy grail of AC, surely there must be engineering difficulties but what are those?
I think you are vastly under-estimating the amount of cost/manpower needed for snowflake and cloud based solutions (they are anything but turn-key and have a lot of churn). There are cases for both but it's not as simple as open source = hire and cloud = no people needed.

With Snowflake you are paying for not only the development of the product, the hosting of it, the engineers to run it, but also the sales, marketing, and management behind it. But on top of all that you probably need to hire people to implement and maintain a solution utilizing it for your organization.

Firedoors in buildings are built to standards. There's standard lighting directig occupants towards a fire exit. A quota of fire exits to seats / floorspace / etc exists. Stair cases need to be of a certain width. Quite a bit more. Buildings across a country are built to these standards, and when they're not tragic things can happen.

This isn't to say all buildings are identical. Or save the same purpose. Or exist in the same climate. Or even have occupants that speak the same language. But do share a core philosophy that despite individual developers' or architects' preferences for wood or concrete, in the case of a fire a building's occupants should be provided safety.

Logs should be more like fire exits and less like fragile works of art. As I can find my way to a fire exit in hopefully any building, I should be able to deal with several .txt files.
A bit of a tangent.

My experience suggests that the transactional nature of modern medicine is part of what makes these types of investigations so hard. A doctor will be booked solid all day without time to reflect or investigate and that really only works with one-off problems.

A chronic condition is not transactional, it's narrative. Someone needs to manage that narrative and mine it for insights. The only way the American medicine system was eventually able to help me was after I started managing my own narrative, but that has challenges for most people -- especially when experiencing reduced functionality due to disability.
Your suggestion is valid and I did spend about 2 days in total across all 3. the least amount of time being the azure log analytics. I spent 10 minutes setting up the datadog agent and paying for that convenience.
i am not sure why everyone (comments, this post, etc.) assume there is a one-size-fits-all solution to every problem, even this one that looks quite simple. companies have to align a few things, ranging from the skills of the current employees, hiring plans, investor/shareholder management, or how to make sure the CEO really gets that boat he really wants and deserves.

not all businesses are the same. businesses with fat contracts but few users won't have massive operating costs, and they can use whichever easy and non-scalable technology they want, because once the business scales up, those fat contracts will pay for enough data engineers. a gaming startup will face high server costs right away, without any optimisation, while data platforms (e.g. bigquery) with a tiny bit of optimisation (materialising 2-3 summary tables, for example) will bring the cost down to "laughable" pretty easily.

it is true that many of these things are choices, e.g. do you really want to spend a shit ton of money for looker when superset for most users is just as good? are you even able to make that choice? if these choices are hard to make because a potential user (or set of users) in the company really wants something instead of something else, well, that is not a technical choice, and the issue you have has nothing to do with the technology.
I've heard plenty of people say this. But I don't think it's true. The effects of covid and the Ukraine war are what you see in western Europe. So the difference between that and where the UK is (less growth, more inflation etc) is Brexit. Unless there is some pressing reason to think otherwise?

I don't accuse you of this but plenty of brexiteers seem to want to hide in the "we'll never know if it was a good idea because there is no perfect counterfactual" fallacy. It should not be tolerated.
It's not but I'm sure some very smart business person knew Mike Lindell was gullible and would fall for something crazy like this.

I think I would actually flip that for CLAs -- 99% of projects do need a CLA it's just annoying because assignment isn't the assumed default when contributing to other projects. The number of projects where there is more than one owner (be that a person, foundation, or llc) is insignificant. Almost all outside contributions are from people who have no expectations at all over their code and are just scratching their own itch. Plus unless you're a huge project the legal issues are just ignored when it comes to re-licensing.

So maybe you're right but "99% of projects have a CLA in the form of not giving a fuck" is far more accurate.
Here was my situation. Occasional queries. Over a couple petabyte of data. Customer facing so response in seconds per SLA but >

So it's not just working. It's working, then playing video games and watching movies. They also say they have to take breaks much more often when they don't wear them, which implies they don't take a break as many breaks when they are wearing them.

I have quite bad wrist pain when I use a PC, and I'm a developer. I feel like it's like me taking ibuprofen to dampen the pain rather than taking regular breaks from my PC.

"Big tech" is Microsoft, Meta, Google, Netflix, Amazon, and other giant companies. Nobody uses the phrase to refer to individual investors like Peter Thiel, Vinod Khosla, or the many of them out there.
