Yes. If you ever find yourself buying a webfont for your latest website or logo, always see if you can buy it direct from the designer. Monotype takes a huge (like >50%) cut if I remember correctly.

For example, my last project I used MD System from Mass Driver for the web fonts (https://mass-driver.com/typefaces/md-system) and Denton from Peregrin Studio (https://peregrinstudio.com/work/denton) for my logo.

Would not SB9 (or some recent law whose name I forget) allow lot more housing to be built? Not tomorrow but surely over the next 10 years. And then there are so many condos coming up near BART etc. We may be a million short, but I think dynamics start changing with every 100K, so as long as enough people start moving towards ADUs, and 4 houses in place of 1, it will start moving the needle.

A lot of time it is a question of cost, and a lot of times it is a question of cheap property taxes. Remove those blockers and it may make things move faster.

In India, a lot of "builders", come in and offer to rebuild your house for free as long as they can get 1 floor for themselves. Same can happen here - rebuild a house to break it in 4 units, and the builder keeps one for themselves (to sell). Maybe with the higher cost, they keep half to see - I do not know, but you just need a few dozen people to show this initiative before it becomes a bandwagon.

On the property tax, we already have some incentives for people to move elsewhere and keep the low tax rate. I wish we could also apply a floor to the property taxes - yes you have had 2% max raise this past 30 years, but if you are in the bottom 10% (decile?), sorry but we will raise 5% going forward until you are not in the bottom 10%. Slow and steady, but see the incentives change over a decade or 2.
Also ADHD here, with a thought that might be useful for you. I am not even a little bit refuting the "non-trivial brain energy to even brush your teeth" bit. That 100% takes brain energy for me.

But I would challenge the assertion that we don't have habits. They're just not necessarily the habits we want, but they do get made and broken and exist. As an example, if there's a project I want to work on (getting that motivation is a different problem), I will feel vaguely uncomfortable unless I grab my bag and laptop and drive to a particular coffee shop that's a non-trivial distance from my house. And once I get there, I am generally quite productive. After I eat a meal (remembering to eat is a struggle sometimes, of course), I don't feel "at ease" until I have a cigarette.

I've found it slightly useful to not think about habits in the way that the positive-thinking motivational speakers talk about habits, but rather at least spending a bit of time reflecting the things I do when I'm in "autopilot mode". I'm not very good at changing the things I see, but recognizing that they're there has been a bit helpful in tweaking them or at least figuring out why/how they work.
I suspect the change in icon colour, logo and name is also breaking usage habits that have been built up over the last decade and a half.

I find myself staring at my home screen sometimes, unable to remember what app I wanted to open (Twitter) and not seeing the visual queue I need to remember.
What’s the value add for using X as a platform? Do people job hunt there already?
> The assumption that music the author doesn't like must be a – likely political – statement is, let's just say, revealing and itself highly political.

Where are you getting this impression from? I just went back through the piece and can't find a place where the author implies that "music they don't like must be a (political) statement" whatsoever.
> "researchers" rake in grant money based on promoting apocalyptic levels of fear

This is a bad take. We are currently living in apocalyptic levels of REALITY.

The people saying what you just said, but twenty, thirty, fifty years ago, were speaking out against the warnings that--if we'd acted in them instead of attacking the messenger as you did-- could've kept us from global wildfire and heat domes.
It wasn't the laptop. It was 3G and faster cellular internet, and cheap, fast broadband connections on Wi-Fi
The first thing I look for in these kinds of systems is access control, like Hasura has. Not seeing that here. Is that planned? Did I miss it?

New content is clearly not a requirement for posting old links on hn :). This was a little experiment to see how it compares to the overthewire links which show up every few months.

Interesting difference in reactions, the actual hacker content gets a yawn :).
Wow, now that is a screenshot full of nostalgia... Nice find.
The cost would probably be similar to the COVID stimulus. Maybe they can require the dividend to be distributed using FedNow to drive down the cost somewhat.
"Corporate MITM" is built into the very idea of PKI. Running your own custom PKI is a completely valid way to operate a network. This is a feature because it allows anyone to establish their own trust tree, completely outside of the public certificate trust network.

"Regimes" sounds pejorative but in truth, companies have a duty and in many cases a legal obligation to protect their networks. Prima facie, I don't see any reason at all why interception of traffic in this circumstance is "bad," except maybe a potential for political misuse like any other written medium.

I actually think the reverse would be substantially worse: if _only_ the public trust chain was valid in major browsers, we would be completely hosed and there would be no distinguishing factor at all between remote attestation and trust.

Thus, corporate TLS interception is, at worst, a necessary byproduct of a very well chosen tradeoff.
Yeah, I agree. We should also ban cooking your own food, painting your own walls, repairing your own car, hemming your own clothes, growing your own food, and reading to learn outside of an accredited context. The people who do these things are sick weirdos and it would be good for the economy.
Okay. Sub-10nm don't make much money, and China can't produce sub-10nm (or any node invented in the past 20 years) anyway without western help, and they won't catch up because all they're good at is copying. You guys have won. So why is the US still throwing more semiconductor sanctions at China, including sanctions designed at hindering China to manufacture at older process nodes, going as far as coercing allies? Don't these guys have better things to worry about now that they've won and China have lost, like domestic issues such as violence and income inequality?

Won't matter unless there are significant consequences. Significant jail time, banned from space programs, etc. And I have strong doubts that will happen. Just look at how easily rapists get off today when they have "strong moral character" according to the judge.
I'm having a hard time not saying something really snarky here, but that's not particularly productive. Your comment isn't going to bring any good into the world, it just serves to shame someone who's struggling. We've got enough of that already.
It’s bleeding money and advertisers and have a ton of debt. What do you think?
It looks like their order of preferences is:

Repopulate by old standards > take the L > become vacation community

I don't think it's "wanting to have your cake and eat it too" so much as it being the same as sometimes I want something done but not if it costs too much. In that case, having it not done is better than paying too much for it.
It's always interesting to do some introspection. Why do you take offense from something that is simply not true for you?

"There is a theory that claims everyone who has ADHD has pink hair." - "I don't have pink hair." - "Are you sure? Did you check?" - "Yes, I did."

Actually, this kind of thing is exactly what you learn in trauma therapy to watch out for, take note, and investigate. You call it "triggers".

Nowhere in this thread did I claim that the theory is proven. Just that it is out there, has a big following, and is also actively being investigated by the research community. I do think that it is worth discussing, which I tried to do in ways that should not offend anyone.

Also, very likely what we have here is a misunderstanding of what we agree to call "trauma", or "adverse childhood experiences" (and more importantly, what they have meant for a little child that went through them).
Yup! Crazy how you can remember the dumbest shit after years.
Both, actually
Great moment to plug Climate Town's video from a couple years back on precisely this https://youtu.be/EIezuL_doYw
The push back was in another post on HN couple days ago. Basically saying the current LLM's aren't that good, this is all hype, charlatan hype. Really ignoring the real results, and taking they hype as all their is.

Then this list of articles is kind of the anti-hype-hype. 'here are some real results'.

Tech people are little bi-polar when it comes to hype. Everyone, seems to love the hype on the way up.

Then little while later, the 'hipsters' are like 'that sucks, this hype is all a lie you lemmings'.

Then a few year later, the silent majority of engineers are quietly plugging along and have adopted whatever settled out of they hype-hype-backlash cycle.
Pretty sure they can't sell many ads, haven't bothered with paying bills, active users seem to be down, and they seem to be floundering for revenue.

While that guy does seem to sell a book, calling everything you disagree with a political statement doesn't look any better to me...
No, its very different because kids do not receive their enire education at that one location, nor do they have to stick to their age group ragardless of their abilities and interests. Its not new either.

Most home educators use a mixture of ways of learning. The best is self teaching because it teaches study skills - learning how to learn is invaluable.

It us also very flexible. For thise familiar with the British system, my daughters did GCSEs in subjects including Latin and astronomy. They sat some subjects early (the older one got an a in physics at 9) which let them spread things out and is less stressful.

Socially they meet lots of people, of varied ages, in diferrent settings.

Schools could learn a lot from the tailor made nature of HE. They could be flexible. We neef to move on from mass produced education. https://pietersz.co.uk/2023/08/schools-failing-flexible-answ...

You're probably correct. I forgot that Apple labelled the enter key as return on the alphanumeric part of the keyboard and as enter on the numeric keypad. I recall some software (possibly MPW) treating cmd-return as enter. Or something to that effect. It has been about 20 years!

Given the very different history and evolution of these two sites, is there ever a point of (even approximate) intersection where they are actually competitive? I myself don’t see that happening now, perhaps ever.
It's trivially easy.

One low hanging fruit: Compilers are handicapped by ABIs and language semantics, they must adhere to calling conventions, alignments, paddings, exceptions/stack unwinding, etc.

If you don't have to care about any of that you can save a lot of useless instructions.

And secondly when it comes to size optimizations, compilers are pretty bad (or they tend to still value some speed over pure size). Wont find any modern compiler emitting lodsb/stosb (the non-rep kind) on x86 for example.
I'm guessing someone got inspired by https://adamj.eu/tech/2021/05/11/python-type-hints-args-and-...

IMHO mixing args and kwargs together like this - having a dict with mixed types for keys - looks kinda grotty.
It’s usually pretty full in the M10. I don’t get the comparison with the total length of the track - you could compare with the length of a tram, which would be 50 meters.

To specify about your Shakespeare example, the hard copies are most definitely not under copyright as a whole. At least in the US, only the new, copyrightable material in them can be copyrighted. If it is not novel enough to be copyrightable on its own (like page numbers, titles, etc), it can't be copyrighted.

Frankly there are a lot of things that people and companies claim copyright on, and other people pay them for, that are not legally under copyright at all. But it is survival of the richest out there...
The graph in the article does not even cover a full month.

There is a downward swing but that could be a normal change in any given month?

A 6 month to a full year graph would show a better trend..?

Isn't this already what's done in many cases when artists take on donations via Patreon? Or selling wares on Etsy? Maybe it's not even bad that creating a corporation to manage art doesn't require a B&M gallery or all of the work that goes into maintaining a physical location. Maybe it's better if the funding goes more directly to the artist than a publisher.
Building city in secret is a lot easier if you’re not doing it while surrounding a military air base on three sides. There has to be a reason for that. There are non-US backers as well.

Possibilities:
1. A city build underground ( a massive bunker). The air base can get you in and out easily and can bring supplies. Farmers can keep farming above your head. The problem is if the threat is external, wouldn’t they target us military bases first? That makes the area a target, but less of an issue if you are underground, maybe.

By firing a majority of the staff, Elon has soured many engineers in US tech hubs on Twitter/X — many of us know people who were laid off, or who left in disgust.

Of course, we’re a very small minority of the total labour market in the world, but we’re the sort of people tech companies generally want to recruit and/or advertise to.

That's wonderful to see. Also interesting to see the site performance comments around different components.

Another anecdote: somewhere in that time period we (Prime) were using comments for various metadata and pre-release and post-deployment checks would verify the comments were in place. The team responsible for the edge proxies decided they were going to rewrite all the HTML going out on the fly to remove extraneous comments and whitespace in an effort to reduce page-size.

In the middle of testing a release all of the tests related to a particular feature started failing and (I believe) different devs were getting different HTML on their systems (the feature wasn't rolled out to every session). Our QA team was extremely pedantic in the best way possible and wouldn't allow the release to continue until testing could complete, so we had to track down the responsible parties and get them to dial down their transformation. They eventually tried again without stripping comments, but I can't imagine much was saved after compression without much of anything removed (they might have been rewriting other tags as well).
More likely to be a nothing platform than an everything platform.
Fun read but worlds last is definitely an exaggeration. These are still pretty popular in most Asian countries. Conan did a fun video about it [1].

This is the sanest thin coming out of X. A lot of folks use Twitter to advance their career.

Or maybe Elon is just desperate to hire, and wants job postings.
Huh? He's a Rust project member and part of the Rust library API team: https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/library. As such, the Rust Code of Conduct applies to him.
Much like "the artist formerly known as Prince", I have yet to hear a news outlet refer to the thing as anything other than "the company formerly known as Twitter".
I wonder what % of people who bought one of the bored apes could name at least one of the four people behind the company who minted them.

When you buy an NFTA, you're only buying a signature. It's like buying a baseball with a professional baseball players signature on it. You're not buying the baseball (at least that's not where the value is), nor the idea of baseballs. You're buying the signature.

Buying NFTs from strangers is like walking up to a stranger on the street and paying them hundreds / thousands / millions (???) of dollars to sign a blank piece of paper. Of course that's stupid. Hopefully they learn their lesson instead of winning this lawsuit.
All anecdotal indications suggest advertising is dying on it (lower revenue, lower quality ads, lower relevance). Quality and relevance form a flywheel with user engagement, so a decline is worse than in isolation.

A range of anecdotes are still anecdotes, but the direction all being the same is something I’m drawing conclusions from.

2021 Twitter’s ad revenue was not sustainable. This suggests X’s likely lower ad revenue and declining in the mid to long term. An unsustainable platform cannot sustain indefinitely.
This is really cool! The filename on certain Amazon 404 pages (eg. https://www.amazon.co.jp/404) is still kailey-kitty.gif (but the image has been replaced with a standard icon).

How is it more "readable"? The two are just as readable.

What do you do with your first example if you have a list (generated at runtime, not a static one) to pass to the function? This wouldn't work (imagine the first line is more complicated):

l = (1,2,3)
print(l)
It makes it easier to find work if you're a right-wing bigot
No way. Scheme is hobbyist language at this point.

Simply put difference between a 'hobbyist' and professional language for me is the strength and depth of the packaging ecosystem.

So as soon as you need to do things like open and parse PDF, implement TLS/SSL, create a dashboard,... you will be in trouble pretty quick in scheme. Probably simple stuff like handling unicode would be shaky.
My dog of 15.5 years passed away recently and I thought I would allow a few months to grieve and experience life without a pet. 2 weeks later and I got another dog. Very nice to have something around and a good excuse for a couple walks throughout the day.

Otherwise I recommend decent speakers (I have a pair of Sonos Era 100s). I don't have many meetings besides the daily standup so filling the silence with some nice sounding music really helps me get in the groove.
What does it mean to understand a piece of work? Do I have to read the sheet music? Do I need to know musical theory? Should I be familiar with the composer's background? The definition is somewhat vague. However, I would argue that one have to remember the works, know what tune plays next to really appreciate them. At least that's the case for me with Mahler.
This is exactly how some SPARC workstations offered x86 compatibility back in the day IIRC.
After reading your post I was expecting the author to rant against other types of music. It’s nothing of the sort.

He does mention at one point that there is such a thing as music that purports to be political.

I struggle to understand how you came away from the article with a response like that.
For me it will probably be plastic. I'm guessing well have eco bioplastics everywhere eventually, and I'll be glad just like I'm glad there's not 20 cigarettes going in every building. But current generation synthetic commercial building carpets, trading card packs, and the like have so many memories.
We already collect federal excise tax on fuel. Changing the amount has a trivial cost. We already collect withholding tax from individuals. Changing the amount has a trivial cost (your boss adds money to your paycheck every week instead of removing it if your tax rate is now negative, retirees and people on disability/unemployment have the amount added to their existing social security/benefits check).

There would be a minor one-time cost for the small minority people none of that applies to, to fill out a form specifying where you want the money to be deposited or the check mailed. But the fundamental process of distributing the money would be a transfer of a fixed amount to each citizen with a social security number, which is easily computerized.
I got my current job by DMing someone on Twitter two and a half years ago.

Yes, it's quite baffling to be repeatedly bombarded with the same ad and no way to make it stop. It feels just like spam did in the old days.

It's good that you managed to get the advertiser to stop in your case.

Google Ads also has a way to tell it to stop showing a certain ad, but it doesn't work here, either because it's broken or the advertiser found a way to get around it.

I thought other people might have ran into this exact problem with YouTube, but it seems, not that many.
This has the exact opposite effect on me because I find it too mentally engaging and it also ends up tied up with anxiety. I can end up in weird spirals and have to stick on some noise to break my brain out of it. I do envy the ability to relax that way though.
This makes me want to learn erlang. In much of the way that functional programming has a lot of useful ideas to learn, so does erlang.

Unlike functional programming which can be learned in many ways with many languages, it's unmatched in what it can teach. No other language (ignoring Elixir here) has OTP and friends.
the rebranding was rushed. frankly, twitter was a mess and musk needed to get rid of its tainted name. but that rebranding was rushed, and created an even bigger chaos than before. it's like nothing was learned from facebooks rebranding. both of those could have been executed better.
