Balance.

The extreme of living for today only or living for tomorrow only will mean you are under serving your present or future self. Time is short so it’s wise to give to your present day self. Also you don’t want to rob your future self, so investing in your future is also important. Extremes are easier to manage. With balance you’ll have the choice and its burden to decide between today and tomorrow.
You're not supposed to know it, unless someone tells you - that's what I'm doing.

I completely agree that "don't link to my site" is a ridiculous request - I'm not saying that I approve of it. But it's what they want - and the Asahi project has numerous problems with it anyway, so avoiding drawing attention from HN has some benefits to everyone.

My apologies if it sounded like I was policing - that was not my intent.
More like the selling realtor “forgetting” to take a call from a competing buyers agent and keeping it in-house. It happens all of the time and cost the sellers money.

"We allege that, for years, SolarWinds and Brown ignored repeated red flags about SolarWinds' cyber risks, which were well-known throughout the company and led one of Brown's subordinates to conclude: 'We're so far from being a security-minded company,'" SEC Division of Enforcement Director Gurbir Grewal said in a press release. "Rather than address these vulnerabilities, SolarWinds and Brown engaged in a campaign to paint a false picture of the company's cyber controls environment, thereby depriving investors of accurate material information."
> And Yahoo is the Single worst email service to send to.

During the pandemic we had a lot of problems with the confirmation email for our 5000 T.A. in the virtual campus of the university. I had to guess what was happening because I was not part of the administration team, just collecting forwarded messages form the T.A and guessing:

* Gmail: Most of the time it works.

* Yahoo: The server receives a few hundred emails per day and the other are delayed. These were confirmation emails with half an hour tolerance, if they were lucky to pass the next day they were not useful. (After a week the sending server stops retrying.)

* Hotmail: Sometimes the email is received and sometimes it just disappears. No spam folder. No bounce email. It just evaporate. (Try sending an email from hotmail to the no-reply address and cross your fingers.)

* Others: No enough data to have a good guess.
(Meta: the source article's title uses the referent "world's largest fusion reactor". HN's anti-clickbait bot edited that to "largest fusion reactor". Taking the spirit of the bot's intentions to heart, I edited it again, to "JT-60SA tokamak", to more thoroughly erase the phraseology that seemed to annoy it).
Superbugs including MRSA thwarted by unconventional vaccine
That same uselessness for long-term identification of users is what makes this approach compliant with laws regulating use of PII, since what you have after a small time window isn't actually PII (unless correlated with another dataset, but that's always the case).
I have been able to do lucid dreaming since I was 18 (over 30 years ago) and according to different sleep trackers I'm almost always over 25% deep sleep, sometimes a lot more. I guess they are related, but don't know for sure.
I appreciate your comment, but I have to respectfully say this is the kind of lazy thinking I am complaining about. Yes, we have been emitting radio waves for 100 years, but 100 light-years away, how strong are those radio waves? Remember the inverse square law.

Even if you magically knew the format, could you decode them?

If you did not know the format, could you detect something above the normal bacground? If we did think it was above the background, would we believe it was artificial? NASA has a very high bar for what they think it artificial.
I get to peak into a few different financial services org's IT strategies (and where infosec overlaps) and in every org I have seen ruthless cutting (hundreds of millions of dollars in one case) if there is any hint of overlap or the ability to go without. Have also seen aggressively playing VARs/reseller off of each other to drive down cost.

> I'm curious where you picked up the insight about gratitude.

It’s a common idea (which isn’t to say it’s invalid or wrong). If you’re interested in studies on happiness or living a “good” life you’re bound to bump into it more than once. Quick example: do a web search for “TED talk gratitude” and you’ll find more links than you know what to do with.

Yes, I think Apple’s definition of a core is quite different from, say, NVidia’s.

From Wikipedia:

“The M1 integrates an Apple designed eight-core (seven in some base models) graphics processing unit (GPU). Each GPU core is split into 16 Execution Units, which each contain eight Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs). In total, the M1 GPU contains up to 128 Execution units or 1024 ALUs, which Apple says can execute up to 24,576 threads simultaneously and which have a maximum floating point (FP32) performance of 2.6 TFLOPs.”

NVidia has its own terminology. For example a 1080 GTX GPU has 20 stream multiprocessors (SM), each containing 128 cores, each of which supports 16 threads. That makes 40,960 threads which is more than the M1 GPU at 24,576 threads, but not massively so.
Ask HN: Automate Rewrite of JSX
The project I'm on has used a UI library, and is now thoroughly locked in and I cannot stand it.

I would like to be able to write a script that will go through the codebase and change code without having to do the onerous job of doing it all by hand.

It would be working basically like if I could write XSLT to rewrite JSX.

So if I had some components like

<Button
variant="outline"
w="100%"
onClick={() => push(getPagePathByLocale(shoppingBagPage, locale))}
>
{microcopies[CommonCMS.button.shoppingBag]} ({cart?.totalLineItemQuantity})
</Button>

then one could write code like (pseudo)

match = Button

className = apply-templates match="@*" mode = "className"

return <Button className="outline big" onClick={() => push(getPagePathByLocale(shoppingBagPage, locale))}>{microcopies[CommonCMS.button.shoppingBag]} ({cart?.totalLineItemQuantity})</Button>
Yeah, but I’ve seen plenty of very smart engineers over the years who can’t see why a business values X which they think is worthless but not Y which they think is important.

I was thinking of all the other ways businesses can “save money”, like travel bans, or getting rid of nice things, or closing offices, or getting rid of staff… They may not really save money, but they’ll look just as good on somebody’s spreadsheet.

Because if you actually do work, 16:10 or 3:2 is much better.
I said biz not dev
obviously in the interest of saving time I have not written the example code to handle the actual className generating.
They're very device tree oriented. They've been using them since "new world PowerPC" Macs in the 90s. Even on x86, their boot loader constructs a device tree to describe the hardware to the kernel.
This translation was my introduction to the text, and is still my favorite. Though I've seen other translations I prefer purely on a textual basis, I find their combination of photos, handwritten calligraphy, and English text very powerful still.

(Parenthetically, I got to meet English about twenty years ago and have her inscription in my copy of the book. She studied high energy physics at Madison about twenty years before I did.)

The fact that school provides ancillary benefits beyond education is great. But portraying those as the primary mission, and the education as an ancillary benefit, IS pretty jarring. I don't homeschool, but I balk at that argument too.
ACPI is standardized via a specification. It's quite easy for non windows operating systems to support ACPI. I can't say the same for device tree as that requires reading Linux source.
Do they have the same behavior as when double-clicking on a .zip file? I like that I can navigate into the zip file like a normal folder without having to explicitly unzip it first.
EVs are still too expensive, at least here in Australia.

As much I agree with respecting folks wishes to not be tracked, most of these cases are not about "tracking".

It's usually website hosts just wanting to know how many folks are passing through. If a visitor doesn't even want to contribute to incrementing a private visit counter by +1, then maybe don't bother visiting.
The company I work for just decided that me being remote is not for the benefit of the company but for my benefit. That if I want to keep working remote I have to cover my internet now.

The office is in Kansas City… they hired me remote day 1, the role was remote, and I never lived in Kansas City.

I don’t know if I’m glad that this does not affect them or if I wish it did. On one hand it’s ~$900 more a year. On the other hand, more pressure for them to kick me if they had to do cuts.
Basically, location location location.

"We also examined whether genetic risk for Alzheimer’s Disease or brain volumes suggestive of early neurodegeneration were associated with a reduction in slow-wave sleep. We found that a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, but not brain volume, was associated with accelerated declines in slow wave sleep"

This sounds like the arrow of causation is pointing the other way.
I prefer the adjectives strong/weak over good/bad or better/worse to
describe developer skill for two reasons. Good or bad can be perceived
as an inherent quality, while it is obvious that strength is
acquired. The second reason is because better/worse can imply
subjectivity. That is, that it wouldn't be possible to tell a strong
developer from a weak one because it is all in the eyes of the
beholder or some BS like that.

Onto your question, the answer is yes, very much yes. Solving puzzles
indeed makes you stronger. It exercises your brain exactly like
lifting weights exercises your muscles. Almost any skill can be
trained the same way; there are chess puzzles, writing "puzzles",
acting "puzzles", even musicians have certain "puzzles" they hone
their techniques on (e.g Segovia scales).

I don't know why puzzles have such a bad rep on Hacker News. It may be
a case of sour grapes. Like you see a jacked dude and you think "Eh,
easy with steroids!" or "Yeah, but does he know basic arithmetic?"
Cause admitting that he spent countless hours in the gym while you

Apparently some dude didn't land a job with Google because he couldn't
invert a binary tree. So he thought it was useless. I looked it up
(https://leetcode.com/problems/invert-binary-tree/) and had a

than three lines of Python.
> This might be true in rural Texas, but it's certainly not true in any of the major cities. People do crazy shit all day long and no-one bats an eyelid at it.

True.
Yes, and Splunk is likely the most overpriced offering across all vendors, both in terms of absolute cost and in in terms of how overpriced it is relative to how good it is. So easy to see how it would be on the chopping block.

I dunno, I've discovered a deep joy in cultivating, to the point where it has developed into my "cake" to simply cultivate. I don't mind if someone else ultimately reaps the benefits, since from my own vantage I won't regret having spent an extra day in the field, doing the work.

To me, this is the goal; to be able to look up towards the sun every day, sore muscles and sweat dripping, and say, "thank you for this day."

Metaphorically, I mean. In truth I'm a cave-dwelling grug-minded developer.
> Yup; any department with money in their budget left over at the end of the budget period will see their budget reduced, even if they need it.

Anecdote here. I've been a senior manager at small, medium, and large (ie FAANG) tech companies over the past 20 years and I've never run into this. Teams make a case for the budgets they need and those are approved (or not) based on the finance team's overall guidance and the return on investment. I'd be curious if others have have actually seen this "use it or lose it" mentality for budgets in practice.

> And (I'm theorizing here, I know little of management layers) I'm confident that a manager's wage is a percentage of a department's budget. Therefore, it's in their interest to use up and ask for more budget constantly.

Again, not my experience. Like you say, this would create perverse incentives which would quickly become apparent to a company's overall finances.

I don't doubt these sorts of policy mistakes have happened at other companies in the past, but I'm doubtful that they're pervasive, or even common, in the tech industry.

do car dealers want to sell EVs ? from what I can see it's an all losing proposition for them, as EVs need only a fraction of the maintenance and repairs as an ICE car and they also likely last a lot longer. I took my Ioniq 5 to the local Hyundai dealer for it's first "check in" and what could they do, rotate the tires, refresh the washer fluid, that's it? the car is not going to have any transmission issues, fuel line issues, exhaust/muffler problems, fan belts, oil changes, and I bet the brakes will last a lot longer because I use regenerative settings on the accelerator pedal. the critical parts of the car are also sealed off from the elements. I would assume an "EV future" either will have dealers greatly shrinking their maintenance departments.

Thinkpad shill here. Before buying Thinkpads, I recommend a quick search of threads about existing units (and immediate predecessors) for overheating issues. Lenovo prioritizes performance (good!) but in the past has overestimated the cooling/manufacture.

Lenovo learns tho; the trend is that issue-y lines are followed by stable lines. ex:Some early X1 gens had a small % with issues and later were fine. ex:We just redid the thermal compound on a 2yo P15 this week (thermal shutdowns). Ours seemed to be an outlier and was clean + lightly used.

Lenovo absolutely honors warranties tho and will even allow purchasing an extended after expiration (tho w/ a 30day 'cooling' period).
One thing I’ve found that really helps is actually not worrying too much about sleep. Try to follow good basic habits, but you can become neurotic trying to follow every suggestion that people make or thinking that a few nights of horrible sleep is going to damage you for life. If I get a few nights of poor sleep nowadays I try to just shrug it off.
No, they think that of the general public who are looking for an EV, 99% of those people would be best served by going with a Tesla.
Cisco buying your company should be considered a worst case scenario for most employees. The important thing to remember is not to trust a word they say.

I was at Kenna Security when Cisco bought them (I was only there for a month too, so Kenna hired me knowing the purchase was going to happen). They lied through their teeth about the process. They promised every resume would be reviewed for leveling, but then gave out the worst offers I've ever seen. They were literally dropping people by multiple levels, and if anyone complained they told them they couldn't make personal exceptions. They wouldn't even listen to people's managers about it, it was just a bunch of anonymous resume reviews.

At the same time Kenna leadership said they'd pay for Cobra for me if I didn't want to stay. The VP of Eng, David La France, at Kenna promised me that to my face. Then once they sale went through he refused to talk to me and told me to cover it myself. Ultimately they did back down, and were "kind" enough to give me a whole two weeks severance. However it made me realize that Cisco views it's acquisitions in the worst way possible, and if I ever work at a company that Cisco purchases I will immediately start looking for a new job.

It's worth noting that I've kept in touch with a lot of the Kenna people who stayed (at least initially), and according to my old manager more than half of the people who stayed on are gone now.

The Block List Project – Blocked by Google Safe Browsing

Turns out this specific GitHub repository is flagged as malicious by Google Safe Browsing [1]. And now I am left wondering if that's intentional or a false positive. Even more confusing, reloading [1] sometimes changes the result to "No available data".
