Yeah, my totally infallible memory.

Thanks for the PDF, nice when somebody provides more than the minimum information. Okay, from the same doc:

The integer load and store quadword unaligned
(LDQ_U, STQ_U) instructions ignore the low three
bits of the byte address and always transfer an
aligned quadword

So sort of right, if you squint and don't look too closely :-)

The cost of buybacks is affected by timing, unlike dividends.

Dividends are cleaner and affect the price in well understood ways: you set a date for the elegibility, and if you bought before that you get the dividend, if you buy after you don't.

Stock buybacks are less transparent (you don't buy them all at once).
Investors with multiple properties can enter and exit the market as they choose.. buy the lows, sell the highs. But more importantly is a safe haven. When everything else is going to shit there are more people wanting to buy a house in Australia than houses for them to buy(and it’s most concentrated for areas like Sydney, Melbourne).

For those with one house… your point is very valid. A lot of stress for a questionable return.
Rust and Go string implementations are very different.

Rust strings are safe, have rich API and prevent you from corrupting their contents unless you go out of your way to do so. Go strings are a joke and won't do any validation if you slice them incorrectly and are extremely bare bones.
Article author here. Thanks for calling that out - the intent wasn't to make readers who might not have been aware feel bad. It really came from my worry about being seen to write about something that is trivial and everyone knows already!

Perhaps I'd be better just dropping "I think it's quite well known that"?
I feel the opposite. Separate windows for each profiles make it much harder to accidentally mix the profile.

Fuzzy Dark Matter Could Help Solve the Final Parsec Problem
Yesterday, Firefox crashed on my girlfriend's PC. I can't remember seeing this happen before at all. It was such a rare thing that I'm investigating what happened now so I can send logs and/or create a bug report.

They're not well made. The Zoom recorder's DACs are incredibly noisy.
I don't think it's useful concept. It's deeply misleading. When you are talking about systems then mass is not a sum of the parts but a proxy for total energy of the system. And when you are interested in the parts just use the full equation linking energy, mass and momentum. Linking some kind of mass directly with velocity is one shortcut too far.

>And that’s the best case for much of it, the worst case is all the stuff they’re going to need to unlearn to actually become good programmers in a world where much of the academic programming that is taught today is the same I learned more than 20 years ago.

Not commenting on the general picture of "student to professor without any industrial experience in the middle", just this point.

At some point, you have to acquire the basics. Learning to articulate thoughts into algorithms is something to be acquired at some point to work in CS, and this just didn’t change over the last 20 years. That’s the whole point of Knuth’s (M)MIX actually.

Just like learning to use alphabet won’t be enough to write every prose you will ever need, but alphabets don’t change every six months.
450 open tabs? I really have to think it would be worth the time to adapt to using some kind of clipping/note-taking software instead.
Yes, it concentrate/centralize power. If you want a new aristocracy, continue buybacks until a share is worth so much, people will start to buy share fractions, with all the shit and overhead that'll bring.

Ask HN: Looking for a Chrome/FF Extension for CMD+P Tab Fuzzy-Find
I'm searching for a Chrome or Firefox extension that mimics the CMD+P (⌘P) shortcut functionality in VSCode. Ideally, this extension would enable me to quickly search through my open tabs using a fuzzy-find textbox. Once the desired tab is located, hitting Enter would switch to that tab, while Esc would close the search.
https://github.com/lusakasa/saka looks good, but doesn't allow remapping the shortcuts in FF and is also archived.

Does anyone know of an extension that offers this feature, or something similar? Worst case, I'll fork saka, but I'd really avoid the hassle maintaining and managing a custom extension.
Sure. And I would have no problem with that. Probably neither would the law.

But if you want to use a mixer to increase your privacy, then you are sophisticated enough to realize that you're an active participant in other people's moneylaundering.

The analogy with the jar would be more complete if you know that one of the people putting money into the jar happens to put in fresh sequentially numbered bills. A reasonable person can easily deduce that they are therefore becoming part of a criminal act.

If a friend of yours asked to mix their pile of money with yours, because theirs is all sequentially numbered, would you do it? Would you admit that you're probably helping them commit a crime, if you do?

Legal commentators on SBF have said that part of the reason his defense was weak is that even if he didn't know about the fraud, it was so blatantly obvious that fraud was happening and he continued taking further actions enabling the fraud, that would make him legally liable for the fraud even if that story is true.
Want to build "user understanding" tool for B2B and Enterprise PMs
Hey!

I want to solve a problem of difficulty for Enterprise PMs to connect/talk and understand their end users due to the end users and buyers being usually far apart. I myself worked for 5 years as a B2b / Enterprise PM and I understand how hard it is for Enterprise SaaS PMs be more Product people and not Feature Factory admins, especially because the actual users of your product are usually far away and you rarely can actually talk with them.

I don't have any "solution" idea as of know. I don't even know where to focus - qualitative or quantitative user research, or something else. Maybe it would be a simpler Amplitude/Heap/Hotjar clone to analyze behavior, or chatbot or surveys or feedback board or wtf else, but I want to build a specific software to address the problem of understanding end users better for B2B/Enterprise PMs.

I want you guys to help me with it, because I see no specific and SIMPLE solutions for B2B PMs to reach/talk/interact/understand their end users apart from:

-) using something like Amplitude to analyze data of how users behave.

-) begging client MDs to schedule a call with low-level associates who actually use the b2b saas product that you manage.

Few questions from me, but feel free just to write whatever you want about the topic:

Q1: Do you think its even a problem and is crucial to have more interaction with end users for successful product management in B2B settings?

Q2: How do you currently bridge the gap between Enterprise (B2B) PM and end users?

Q3: What tools or methodologies have you found effective in gaining insights into end user behavior and needs within an enterprise environment, especially when direct interaction is limited?

Also, in case you're interested, I'd like to have a call with you to dive into the problem deeper.

Sounds like that'll relieve the finances by providing tax income at once and hospital costs in later years.

Who pays the hospital costs in NZ? Is that practically paid via the state budget or via separate insurance organisation(s), in which case smokers provide tax income to the state budget and increased costs to the insurance budgets (and ultimately the insured nonsmokers)?
YouTube? Chrome? uBlock? Firefox? What's all this fuss about?

Just avoid the youtube.com domain like pest, period.

Set up a Piped instance or use your favourite one. You even get your playlists and subscriptions over RSS feeds instead of using Google's stinky, unstandardized and limited APIs, how cool is that? And wire it to Platypush + yt-dlp if you want the ability to scrape the media URL and cast it wherever you like.

If you still go directly to youtube.com to consume videos, without even using a Piped proxy as a digital condom, then it's your own fault. Ad blockers can only do that much against overtly hostile businesses that have enough engineering resources to invest in their overtly hostile practices.

What else is Google supposed to do to tell you that you can't trust them with anything? Is Sundar Pichai supposed to wear an evil mask like a Marvel villain before you understand that that company and whatever it touches is rotten and morally bankrupt to its core, that the only thing that prevents them from turning their products into big billboards with zero added value is the backlash from their own users, and that they're trying to find a sweet spot where they can enshittify their user experience to a point where they maximize the money they make out of data collection and ads, but without pushing too much to the point that too many users leave the platform?

The only way out is for EVERYONE to STOP sending a single direct byte to youtube.com. Pirate the shit out of them. And I honestly don't give a f*k anymore about hurting the creators that are still on YouTube. If you're a creator still publishing videos on that sewage, even if so many alternatives are available today, then you're part of the problem, and I no longer care if you lose your revenue.
If you seek the assassination of a company, it is better to tax them to death instead.

This way at least the money stay in country, instead of sending overseas checks.
I had a similar issue, problem was a problematic WiFi-router. I got clued in when other devices were having sporadic disconnects once in a blue moon. Turned out that (unlike the brother) they also lost connection but managed to usually auto-reconnect on their own, hiding the issue. After replacing the problematic router all my issues went away.

Not that it'll solve your issue with any guarantee, but if you haven't looked into it yet... .

It surprises me that you'd be surprised. It's convenient to have your most used sites a single click away on the new tab screen, and it still opens instantaneously, so I don't see any disadvantage. If there's something there you find distracting, you can remove it.

> Once you have written it once, repeating the motion doesn't help you memorize it because it's in your short term memory. Memory research has shown that it's more efficient to review information when some time has passed.

Memory research has shown that if you have a fixed number of repetitions and want to maximize recall in the long term, spacing practice out over time is better than massed practice once at the beginning but that same research also shows that if you have a fixed time interval, more repetitions are better than fewer. (The recall curve for massed practice starts higher but drops faster than spaced repetition.)

Making children write the same character ten times is about making sure they'll still remember next lesson, not so much about making them remember for years. The long-term part is handled by implicit spaced repetition due to occasional exposure in assigned texts and their own reading for entertainment.

For learning a foreign language, explicit spaced repetition is more necessary, because learners are rarely exposed to enough content to benefit from the implicit spaced repetition effect.

Dishwashers aren't very solar-friendly if you don't have net-metering.

They typically have a very powerful 2.5 kilowatt heater they run in bursts - for like 5 mins when prewashing, for like 10 mins when starting the main wash, and like 10 mins again when drying.

In between those times, the machine uses only ~60 watts for pumps.

I have often pondered what a world of machines designed to meet solar output looked like - and for a dishwasher it would involve the heater being modulated to match the solar output (and knowing that sometimes the wash cycle would take longer if a cloud was overhead so heating was delayed by a half hour).
My recollection is that there was quite a lot of debate back then on whether machines would be able to think or be conscious with arguments on the can't think side being Searle's Chinese Room and similar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room), which I always thought was a bit silly and people don't seem to take seriously now but did back in 1991.

The Made of Meat story was quite a nice counter argument to that.
Yes to your first question, or at least that's where most literature leans. In brain stimulation research the terms online and offline refer to whether stim is delivered concurrently with a task (online) or before/after a task (offline). Generally greater benefits are seen in studies that repeatedly pair brain stim concurrently with a task over several sessions, but of course many methodological factors (intensity, duration, electrode location) and individual factors (brain morphology, neurochemical concentration levels) can influence the outcome.

With your second question; brain stimulation is reasoned to be less addictive than those substances, and of course less selective in its effect. Furthermore the studies that report positive benefits can show these benefits lasting almost 24h following a single stimulation session....however, having done my doctorate on this technology I can tell you it is definitely no panacea, and lately many critiques of this type of intervention have been published.

I think people forget that ink is a liquid which dries up and leaves a sticky mess. They think of the printer as a magic technology box that somehow is supposed to deal with that mess perfectly, without issues or waste.

Well it doesn’t work! Ink needs to be flushed to keep the lines clear. Inkjet printers need to print regularly for optimal performance and low waste. If you need a printer to sit on the shelf for 4 months between print jobs, laser is the only game in town. Toner is a solid powder and it lasts forever without issues. No clogging, no mess.
Is there an extension which stores a history of all my visited tabs, also with some kind of window id in order to group them per window?

I'm not talking about the integrated history which will be lost when cleared (and may have a limit of how long entries are kept)

I've (and Google as well) found my Chrome's Activity History to be pretty useful when I need to search for something I was looking for years ago.
Neat tool too, thanks
As another lowly paid EU developer, I think the money for Youtube premium is completely wroth if considering all the value I got from the creators there over the years.

IMHO it's way more valuable than something like Netflix or Spotify since Youtube is not just brain-rot and entertainment, but a source of so much educational stuff on tech, math and programming, music, independent news reporting, fitness, dancing, finances, mindfulness, cooking, DIY, car and household repair tutorials, etc, so I'm curios why you would think it's not worth the money when you literally couldn't get videos on all those things anywhere else for any amount of money let alone for free(ads).

For example if I go now on Youtube, besides the usual clickbait brain rot, there's small creators from my country explaining various topics of interest on subjects from the nation's high-school final exams(equivalent to the US SAT, UK GCSE or French Baccalaureate) far better than the underpaid and unmotivated teachers usually do at class. Complex stuff on maths, physics, organic chemistry, CS, biology all explained for dummies in the local language based on what's gonna be at the exams. Sure it's the creators that are putting the effort, but Youtube made it frictionless and accessible to everyone in exchange for ads. I would have killed for such a thing to be wildly available when I was in school, and now it's for free on Youtube for all schoolkids to enjoy.
"Because lots of people who build websites only test them in Chrome.."

Well I am not one of those people. Back in the late '00s I was testing in IE6, 7 and maybe 8 as well as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

I remember, back then, my boss telling me to "only worry about IE" when writing a demo web application. One day I came in and my boss slaps a peice of paper down at my desk, wondering why a customer saw this on their screen. At first I was like "WTF" as it was a bunch of rectangles scattered around. The penny dropped and tried it in firefox.. same result. It was at this point I started to care about ALL main browers regardless of what anyone told me.

It is not as bad today, but my mind set is no different.

Should not be testing on just one browser.
> FWIW I got annoyed with chrome's distracting home screen

On macos, the Google and Firefox home screens are virtually identical: Big "Firefox" or "Google" title, seach bar, short cuts / recently used. Google is actually less distracting since it never changes.
There might be (future) 64 bit systems for which it doesn't hold. So maybe replace "well known" by "widely assumed".
> but then they get mad when people don't look at the ads

They aren't tracking your eyes and pause the video if you aren't watching the screen. Not saying they wouldn't do that if it was feasible...

They are annoyed that you are actively preventing them from playing out the ads in the first place, and they offered an alternative, to pay for not having the ads, at what is in my opinion a very reasonable price concidering the vast array of content you have access to on YouTube.

So they are effectively making the implicit contract explicit. Watch with ads or pay for no ads, otherwise you can happily choose to not use YouTube.

If you really think hosting video is cheap, make an alternative to YouTube.

Hey! First of all: don't worry, it didn't make me feel bad–don't know about others though, of course. And I really meant what I said: I think you knew your (originally) intended audience, and there, the percentage of people is almost certainly quite a lot higher than among general HN readership. I just really like that comic and immediately had to think of it when I read that sentence. (And it's only made funnier by your intention, it really shows how true to life the comic actually is!)

But I think there is a good, general argument to be made against these kinds of sentences. I don't think anyone would ever blame you for writing about a well known thing, while at the same time there is a chance of needlessly making people feel bad.

BUT I also think that with the right "mindset", these kinds of sentences can be a good indicator to readers about what is considered essential, common knowledge among a certain group of people.

So ... I don't think you need to remove it, but wouldn't say it's bad if you did. Sorry for the long winded way of saying basically nothing.

Cool article btw.!
I had to look up what that means as I was only familiar with the meaning of "nonce" in cryptography.
I think you are referring to this definition (wikipedia): "Nonce, a slang term mainly used in Britain to describe people accused or convicted of sexual offences involving underage children"

But being attracted to children-like looking fictional characters is not a the same as being a child sexual offender.
Short piece, makes a reasonable point: TDD has its place in the software development lifecycle, it’s not always the best approach for every situation but kind-of spoiled by the click-bait title contrary to that point.
