> But that depends on what particular people find meaningful or interesting

Yes. That’s why I said it’s a matter of taste.

My claim is that what makes things meaningful is how they relate to reality, and by reality I mean things like the three dimensional world and the passing of time we perceive. Whilst most of pure mathematics seems ridiculously abstract on first glance, I don’t believe there is a single topic that truly has no connection to reality.

> it's important not to confuse "reality" with our models of it

This is a frequently repeated point and I’m inclined to agree, but any such model also exists in reality and so it’s hard to know where to draw the line.

As the OP said, for companies that don't have a lot of fitness, it's great too.

I have just used it for batch files .. don't laugh - we can do amazing things with batch files. ChatGPT is pretty amazing helping write them. Also filebot command line operations too. ( filebot.net )

I would love to use ChatGPT for real coding, but my skill levels stop at batch files. I am not smart enough to learn actual code. Even PowerShell I find impossible to grasp.

That's just me. I know other co-workers using ChatGPT for actual code snippet's and stuff. It's really helpful and educational.
Space, power, interface count. Keep in mind things like "space" apply to datacenter space, not just any space, in that 1/3 of a rack of 30 TB drives saves a lot of DC vs 10 racks of 1 TB drives. Also the general problem extends i.e. "many large HDDs" would need to turn into "boatloads of smaller ones" and so on.
If you are targeting Linux you should probably prefer POSIX IPC to all the funky SysV weirdness involving ftok(3). The same holds for any OS that implements POSIX IPC correctly. Unfortunately, BSD derivates usually have POSIX IPC implemented as a thin wrapper in libc which makes the synchronization primitives usable either between threads or between processes and not both at once (and thus unusable for most interesting applications).
I have set extremely clear boundaries on my time and enforced them religiously. This has caused massive problems, including potentially destroying my company. I have simply accepted those problems as the cost of reading my son bedtime stories.

The overtime culture in startups is toxic, because efficient output is u-shaped over time: if you work too hard your productivity goes down. It requires very mature self reflection to know that slowing down will actually speed up the work.

tldr, boundaries boundaries boundaries. Maturity.
Hi HN, presenting Laberinto, a tile map editor tailored for BSicon tiles, widely embraced in railway, metro, and public transportation maps—commonly found on Wikipedia, especially on the German Wikipedia.

Laberinto integrates seamlessly with BSicons, a set of standardized SVG icons initially designed for railway diagrams and now extending to canals, footpaths, and motorways.

Laberinto offers an alternative approach to creating high-quality maps compared to traditional methods on Wikipedia, which involve using templates.

Laberinto enables easy embedding of maps in HTML pages, expanding their utility beyond Wikipedia's platform.

After crafting your map, download a complete HTML page, including icons and CSS, for your own use.

In the Works:

Full Icon Library Access: Access over 300,000 Wikipedia BSicon categories, with Laberinto's current catalog covering approximately 40,000 icons.

Drawing Tool: Sketching continuous lines and curves.

Dive in and experiment with Laberinto. If you make something interesting, share it—I'd love to see your creation!

Feedback Welcome: Whether it's a suggestion, bug report, or collaboration proposal, drop me a note.
Things are getting done all the time, but there is a lot to do and few resources so prioritization is important and context is key.

> Even so, I use the mouse frequently because it’s often the best way to select text, images and links, do graphical work, and to interact with (both simple and complex) GUI software.

“Select text” seems (IMO) like something where these microbenchmarks have an obvious flaw. If you set up an artificial test like select a continuous line of text from an arbitrarily formatted file, the mouse might be better. But we’re programmers, right? We make our code nice and tidy. Usually I want to select a whole line in a file that has line numbers. So for line 10, 10ggyy in vim. That’s pretty quick.

Or I want to select the first couple columns of multiple rows. Ctrl-v, repeat j as many times as you’d like. I actually have no idea how to do that with a mouse.

Anything more complicated, I begin to wonder if we want a macro, find-replace, or something else.

A mouse might be better for interacting with GUIs and images but those things simply shouldn’t be done. Text is the correct way to communicate.

Outside of ones feelings for Trump ...Ivana holds the standard of beauty. Those who loathe him prior to their dislike of him ..those ppl and the majority of them thought the same about her looks. That she is natural beauty even prior to any plastic surgery.

Attractiveness runs in Trumps family. He afterall was the Paris Hilton / Kardashians of the 80s and early 90s. Those types of socialites have beauty and wealth and society loves to follow them because of it.
IME working at a big tech company post-burnout is much more relaxing than working at a startup. There is definitely opportunity & reward for working hard and getting stuff done, but planning timelines and deadlines are so much longer. And none of the existential dread from “will we run out of runway” or “how do we get to PMF”.

Especially if you go in a level or two below your actual tryhard level, you’ll still likely earn more than you would in a startup (sans home run exit). You can still do good work on interesting problems, but with more breathing room for work/life balance.

It's only weird if you are conflating physical beauty and sexual attractiveness. And symmetry tends to be a pretty universal physical indicator of beauty and doesn't change much from 15 onward.

Physical beauty is often an attractor of lust, but someone with no sexual hormones or sexual desire could still assess or another's beauty without a sexual component, an asexual person could, someone not sexually attracted to a given gender could still assess physical attractiveness of someone of that gender (a straight woman assessing a girl's beauty), etc.
Good point about the importance of checking your own page with your ad blockers and similar turned off.

It's something I imagine a lot of people would forget - I don't think the thought ever occurred to me for a personal site.

Part of having browsed the web with ad blockers turned on for so long is I tend to forget ads exist for the most part - I definitely forget how pervasive they are.
From TFA:

“There are many studies trying to decipher the link between diet and human health, and it’s very difficult to understand the underlying mechanisms because of the wide variety of foods people eat. But if we focus on just the nutrients and metabolites derived from food, we begin to see how they influence physiology and pathology,” said Jing Chen, PhD, the Janet Davison Rowley Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine at UChicago and one of the senior authors of the new study.

I sometimes daydream about what would happen if I were suddenly transported back in time -- but with everything on my person intact (iPhone included).

Step 2 of course is figure out how to fashion some sort of charging system so my magical godlike pocket super abacus continues to function after ~days, but I'm making the bold assumption that somewhere in the annals of Wikipedia I can figure that out.
One of the nice things about working in tech, as opposed to something like sales or marketing, is its possible to work surrounded by people who behave in a more intelligent and less shallow way, and appreciate others for who they actually are as a person, and appreciate their technical contribution, while looks doesn't really feature. Probably not every tech job, but a lot. Its refreshing working with a bunch of nerds who just don't judge people on how they look, and frankly have a lot more interesting things to think about. This study would seem to me to just reinforce what we all already know -that in certain fields/professions, looks are important for making money. Seems to me like fields to avoid working in!
Hate to say it, it's better.
> any such model also exists in reality

Yes, but there's still a distinction between the model and the thing modeled. A map of your city is not the same as the city, even though the map is a real object in the same reality as the city.

Similarly, real numbers are a model that is instantiated in the brains of mathematicians, papers in the literature, etc. Those things are of course real objects. But real numbers are used to model lots of other real things.
Why the downvote? Correct observation
> Taking a less glamorous job to make space in your life for other pursuits is not bad. Even if it's just for little while to reset.

Agree. Quit the startup grind and find a middle-of-the-road position at a big company where you can take it easy, then work the minimum you need to feel OK with yourself. For example, 4-6 honest hours a day; if you're coming from an overwork startup culture, you'll still be out-working most of your peers even at that rate. If it's not done by 4 PM, then tough shit, it'll still be there tomorrow and someone else should've planned the project better. Then find other things to do with your newfound free time.
I'd like to see a modern refresh of Civ2, which IMO is still the best in the series. Just update the graphics/sound/UI and leave the rest as-is.
An easy way to understand what is going on with signal reflections is to consider a very long wire -- say, to the moon. When you put a voltage on the wire current starts flowing, but that current has nothing to do with what is on the other end of the wire, because it is far away and there is this thing called the speed of light. So the current has to do not with the load but with characteristics of the wire. Eventually the voltage/current will get to the other end of the wire -- the reflection is what happens when the voltage/current in the wire does not match what is required by the load connected to the end of the wire. The problem, especially at high frequencies, is that this doesn't require a wire to the moon to see, it can happen in inches. Try debugging a 400G Ethernet link composed of 16 traces about 12 inches long on a PC board -- can be very hairy.
For what it's worth, I agree. I can't get myself to care about any math that cares about the detailed properties of reals because I care about understanding reality with math and that can't be relevant.

It seems to me that it's not so much that physics uses the rationals, though, as that it uses something like "fuzzy reals", the reals up to a certain resolution. IMO it should be impossible for physics to ever use any sort of infinitely-precise property of the number system it's using, simply because the number system is arbitrary.

The argument for this (besides "it's obvious") is that the only ways physics can ever make numbers is (a) counting things, (b) measuring things with something that acts like a yardstick, or (c) apply formulas to numbers you already have. The first only creates integers. The second only creates fuzzy real numbers up to the resolution of your measurement. The third propagates the discreteness of the first and the uncertainty of the second through whatever calculation you do. Hence, physics cannot deal with infinitely precise descriptions of reality.

One might argue that, once you have a model, you can get infinitely precise within the model (e.g. computing infinitely rich Feynman diagrams in QFT). I have no problem with that. I just don't believe the precise differentiability properties of physical objects like fields should be allowed to be used in the model, because they seem unphysical.
The non-computable reals are also not uniquely representable. It’s this property which I think is the most reasonable explanation for why these real numbers don’t cause an information black hole.
We've been doing this for the last 2 years with a couple of key tools. Generative AI is involved, but it's still a very hands-on process that results in raking. SEO is dead; content will still be king but the speed and volume will be done with AI from now on SEO managers better update their skillsets.
But 1/3 counts as discrete in a sense, you can describe it with a finite amount of symbols.

To move from one point to another, a particle has to move through all of them though, including the non computable ones

Mixed results can also be evidence that everything is fraudulent and nobody is even pretending to try and replicate things. And as a layperson, even honest noise isn't useful.

> Window selection is a natural extension of basic mouse usage. Resizing windows is a snap.

I don't think I can remember the last time I needed to resize a window in Emacs. I think. Also selecting window with a mouse simply would never work for me, because I need to select them by title in most cases. This claim OP makes is just absurd. If OP was honest, then they'd wrote "in some very special and simple cases, which don't happen in practice" using mouse for selecting and resizing windows may be faster." Which doesn't have the same ring to it, obviously.

> and drag and drop support

I don't feel like I'm missing something if I don't have this feature. Whenever I'm faced with this feature in other programs, I'm very much annoyed I cannot accomplish the action associated with this interface in a different way (unless performing the action precisely is somehow rewarded, as in maybe it's a part of the game where you have to prove you can do things very precisely)

> are very intuitive

I don't care. The point of using professional tools is that you learn and practice how to use them. Intuitive is for buy-in, it's not for being good at.

> The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding.

Did this measurement incorporate precision? I seriously doubt that. Most importantly, mouse is only a solution for things that are or can be made visible on the screen, and it also requires paying attention to what's going on on the screen. You cannot use your mouse while at the same time looking away from the screen (which I often do), or by trying to access functionality that isn't already on the screen (which is very often what I need to do, like, accessing a particular buffer, or calling a particular command).

In fact, mouse is so rarely a solution for anything I need to do during editing that even if it was faster for a very few things it can do, I still wouldn't care because I'd value uniformity of interface over negligible speedups in very few cases.

If the woman is attractive, it is different? My commercial is a very attractive female (and I mean, very), she flirted with me (my bad really, I sent weird signals, we didn't knew each other enough for the level of friendlyness I showed, it's an issue in my family, my father and my sister have the same), I put a "i'm moving in with my girlfriend" somewhere later in the discussion (it wasn't exactly true), bam, clarified, but I felt really awkward doing it and finding a way to close that door. I think that if you don't see the other as a potential mate, it's always awkward.

Author here: nope it's not possible for address search to target all countries (but there is an option to add multiple countries if necessary). It's a take on our part to provide more relevant results to the end users. By default, the end user is pre-located via IP first and can change its country if necessary, which works well in most cases. There are so many matches possible for address search that it reduces the relevance of the top 5 results. Also, there is the option of world cities available (no constraint on countries but cities only).
