Geez that description feels like word salad... sure they're English sentences, and the narrator speaks comprehensible English, but "Using the original schematics, looking how our inverter was hooked up in the power system, we can follow word for word the Apollo 13 raw audio of the debug after the accident" made me think the powered the interver and got "raw audio" of the comms to play out of... the inverter?

Also, raw audio? It's just audio, calm down. The debug? Geez, talk about wanting to sound techie introducing jargon.

That’s so interesting, I really believe D deserves more highlight because it’s so easily adopted and interops so well with C, yet it’s very high level enough to be scriptable.

Random thoughts and observations:
- Product; 'modular' clothing. where the parts / panels can be relatively easily replaced by anyone. And thus also combined in diffent ways.

- product / service: patchwerk clothes, combine the good parts.

- celebrate mending of clothing, celebrate blemishes as 'character'.

- redyeing (with natural dye's)

- Education: there was a british tv program where they put a mix of young people in the shoes of people in 3rd world countries; having to live and work for just a short time in sweatshops and things like that. It was very powerful. Show that stuff in school, or better yet make it a schooltrip!

- Unreasonable prices are a big part of this (negative externalities), but we don't want to price out people with less income.

- Observation / problem: fastfashion floods thriftstores, meaning it's more difficult to find quality items, and it just becomes part of the fastfashion cycle.

Considering the primary use case seems to be for public demonstration, the tubes are a good way to get people to look at it. I have a sneaking suspicion that the creator might also like tubes.

What's the concern with using tubes? Do you really need tubes for guitar distortion?
What always impressed me about Stuxnet wasn't the technical complexity, but the amount of spycraft that must have gone into identifying exactly what to program it to do, and what they could get away with.
I'm intrested in your claim of nim's better metaprograming support. As I've stuck with D for its metaprograming abilities. Have any good starting points?
Relax, I was being hyperbolic. Does spotify need 20x more employees than Valve/STEAM? How's twitter working with 80% less employees? Sure it's worth less, but it works mostly fine. Yes spotify needs more than 10 employees, but did it need 10000? After these rounds of cuts, will it still need 7500 next year? I surmise it can settle much lower than what people expect, and maybe their service/product would have been better without having that many brains adding creep/degrading the product (subject to opinion) in the first place.
:-) Then you may well enjoy it.

Plan 9 changes the way the C compiler works a little: for instance it is now prohibited to #include the same headers into files that are #included into other files. No nested duplicate #includes.

But the result is much much faster compilation.
That seems like a valid interpretation to me.

I didn't mean to say it was the only reason or motivation.

I think the word privilege should be reserved for those things which inherently everyone can't have. You can imagine a world where everyone has a flying car, but you can't imagine one where everyone has a personal servant (because then the servants would also have servants, who would have servants etc.)

To be an elected representative, or a leader, is a privilege because if everyone was, no one would be. To be rich in absolute terms isn't a privilege, but to be richer than average is a privilege. Same with status, beauty, talent etc.

Calling things privilege which aren't, conflates things which are zero-sum and things which aren't.
Last time I read such an HN comment thread, one poster claimed that Sci-Hub was morally wrong because “how will peer reviewers get paid if people just pirate the papers?”. Tell me you don’t know anything about academic publishing without telling me you don’t know anything about academic publishing. Seems to be a widespread misconception.

No mentioning of semantic tags. I personally think things like <main> and <article> are way more practically usful for accessibility these days. Many screen readers have a "jump to main" shortcut these days (which is a great replacement for those notorious "skip to content" links). If only more sites would use these tags.
It's double outsourced even. They outsource to Accenture who then outsources it to small companies.

It's really really annoying because these people get penalised for escalating and they don't know much more than what it says in the docs. I read those before contacting them and it's always a hassle to get my case through to real support. They'll stall forever asking for more logs and more tests. I feel like I'm on trial defending that I really have a problem. Not a valued customer.

And mind you, this is already meant to be the "premium" support tier.
I worked on a VSCode extension for a new Programming language. I then later got a message from its language designers asking if I was okay getting paid to maintain it.

I loved it.
It's disgraceful to me how somebody could downvote your comment. Like you said, it's an objectionable comment, not even a subjective one. The HN crowd has become brainwashed by Woke media. Anything that disagrees with their opinions are "oppressed" or rejected. Like how Woke media immediately labels people "misogynist" or "racist" and don't even listen to what's being said. Similarly how they just downvote and don't even comment why.
Absolutely. I've been working flex hours for 12 years, and from home for 6 years, and I live in northern europe.

So every winter I actually take a long 2 hour walk during lunch to get some sun. Then I work later once the sun has set.

This should be the standard for all office workers in northern latitudes. But we're so stuck in our ways that we use the same work schedule all year even though the weather is clearly different.
> Yes, julia can be called from other languages rather easily

This seems false to me. StaticCompiler.jl [1] puts in their limitations that "GC-tracked allocations and global variables do not work with compile_executable or compile_shlib. This has some interesting consequences, including that all functions within the function you want to compile must either be inlined or return only native types (otherwise Julia would have to allocate a place to put the results, which will fail)." In practice, this means that you can therefore not use the base library in your own programs. PackageCompiler.jl [2] has the same limitations if I'm not mistaken. So then you have to fall back to distributing the Julia "binary" with a full Julia runtime, which is pretty heavy. There are some packages, such as PySR [3], which do this. It seems pretty usable for research I'd say, but difficult to put in production.

There is some word going around though that there is an even better static compiler in the making, but as long as that one is not publicly available I'd say that Julia cannot easily be called from other languages.

What about blind deaf people, do they think in a language?
As an enthusiastic Julia user, I can definitely attest to this. It's frustrating to just want to share with people what you find cool about a language, only to be accused of being part of some astroturfing campaign, or for any discussion of the language being immediately derailed by people complaining about 1-based indexing.

Granted, there are definitely cases out there where Julia users have been overzealous and undersensitive when trying to convince others to come try out the language, but my experience with these people is that they're almost always coming at it from a place of just being excited about finding a language that works well for them and solved so many of their issues, and so they want to share that with others.

D is a cool language and it's a shame it seems to get ignored so much. I hope D people continue to work at it.
I worked for a storage company whose product was written in D. They were later acquired by a larger international company, and I don't know what the fate of the original project was after the transition.

In this world, D was, while not a common choice, also not an unexpected one. The most common language for these sorts of products is C... but it's not the kind of C you'd find in books about the language. It's C that's heavily modded to remove or replace a bunch of stuff. D just happened to align well with what people running the project would've done to C anyways.

Also, in this context the existence of libraries doesn't matter, as almost everything is going to be written from scratch anyways. Nor does learning the language matter, since the internal infrastructure and learning how C was modified to fit the project goals would take the same time as learning another language.

To be honest, I really liked to work in that environment. Not because of any of D's features. I just hate being in the constant fear that I will not be allowed to do something that makes perfect sense, and instead coerced into idiotic workarounds that pretend to solve the problem. Which is what happens when you are required to use third-party libraries and they absolutely don't anticipate your use-case. It's the place where I was closest to being proud of what I was doing. Unlike most day jobs I had, where I felt like I need some extra time in the shower just to not feel dirty by writing code I knew full well should've never been written.
Boris Johnson allegedly planned military raid on Dutch Covid-19 vaccine factory
All these old DoD documentaries are great, but many of them are shaky. I wish there is a option for Youtube to auto stabilize.
I have a running list of things to do that I may or may not get around to, but I don't want to forget. Everyday I have 2 objectives for the day to accomplish and there may be several todos associated with that. I can get max 3 done in a day, but leave space for chaos.

I can pick my objectives based on my long running list of todos or on my backlog of objectives. Really depends on what the priority is that day. That's how I set my day. It doesn't make me the most productive, but it does make me consistently productive without threat of burnout, so I settled on this.
That might be a code where you live, but either it isn't universal or older places are exempt. My first apartment - which still rents out, decades later, had a small windowless bedroom with only a door for an exit. The nearest window was blocked by the kitchen sink.
Exactly. Though, I definitely don't think economic decline is ok at this moment in our society especially while we burn through as much resources as we do.
A forum on a single common topic can still create a filter bubble. For example, I know some music and outdoor-sports forums where the participants now post about not only those topics, but also a limited spectrum of US political rants or social-justice advocacy. If you come from somewhere else and you have different views or do not participate in such discussions, you can feel outright excluded from the club.

On any anglophone forum, it can happen that just enough participants are North Americans with the same views, that their political and social concerns are considered relevant and important. Some Reddit subs have seen this, too. Obviously a moderation rule of “no politics” or “no off-topic” would help, but sometimes even the moderators are passionate about those same political or social concerns, and believe that preventing discussion of such would be fascist.
And when that comes to an end, you can try Fedora Linux and it may serve very well. Especially if for a shared computer you need browser plus some other popular apps. I use Fedora on my old Hackintosh (that served me well for over a decade) and I hadn’t noticed any difference with macOS software and aesthetics-wise.

I remain sceptical about any form of combination of reinforcement learning and LLMs.

Acting successfully in the world when faced with complex issues requires learning useful ad-hoc concepts from the specific situation you find yourself in. It's plausible an AI can learn template tactics from large datasets, but I don't think that's enough.

There are various fields, like creativity research and design thinking, where it's understood that non-trivial problems need interaction with the environment to frame a problem in a way that allows an approach to a solution. This is because of the uniqueness and novelty in the situation itself.

It might be my lack of imagination, but I don't see how a deep learning on a large data set will get there.
Hi, asking for help is hard but I'm used to it at this point.

I'm looking for a job, if you know someone who's "always hiring" for remote positions please let me know. I have a year's worth of experience as a laboratory technician working on Intel IA platform systems, and most of a computer science BS degree. I have a few certifications, and I've made a few projects that almost work. I'm a little schizophrenic, but as long as I can take a day off if my symptoms flare up it shouldn't get in the way.

At my previous job I've given trainings, assembled documentation, resolved tickets, drafted emails, worked with spreadsheets, assembled complicated computers, installed operating systems, worked independently on a special debug task for a project that had been abandoned for a year or two, wrote bash scripts, flashed firmware, updated inventory, gathered a team for a task, debugged networking, learned soldering (once, oops), and probably some more stuff I'm forgetting.

It was a great job but I couldn't stay because traveling tends to trigger my symptoms - sometimes I'd get to work and realize I'd have to turn around. I was kind of embarrassed so I told my friends there that I was quitting for "health reasons" and nobody asked what I meant so...

I tried to apply to jobs but I wasn't getting many responses. You know how it goes. I like programming and make a hobby of game design, among other non-tech things. I have a cute cat and I wear a hat when I go outside. If I sound like a cool person to work with let me know and we can network!
One hour isn't really short-term memory, at least not in the usual sense, and short-term memory is definitely needed to form long-term memories.

Spaced repetition is an entirely different dimension. It doesn't fit between the three mentioned modes. You don't get spaced repetition when e.g. attending class or reading a chapter. Instead, you make notes. That's what this study is for, and anything else is a distraction.

If you sincerely think that, then you're redefining "intrinsic" in a way that no one else uses it.

A banana has intrinsic value because you can eat it. Iron has intrinsic value because you can make things with it.

Bitcoin has no intrinsic value because it isn't an ingredient for anything valuable, it doesn't give you a legal right to anything, and you have no guarantee you can use it as currency.
The article doesn’t state what problem those ‘modern’ web frameworks are trying to solve. It’s already been known that you can make a faster framework at the cost of less ergonomic API and more complicated mental model, but in most cases it’s not worth it. And when it’s worth it, React had the tools to ‘eject’ a subtree from the very start.
Yes, that paper does make me angry :) I understand and agree with you that most code that exists today is inefficient and slow, but there is room for "let's after the lowest hanging fruit" in the discussion. Almost all projects these days are object-oriented in some form because complexity demands it. Performance and maintainability for modern software can be at odds along some axes and we pick the latter because our hardware gets better, and we might as well use it for that. That doesn't mean that there aren't places where you can see easy wins or that there isn't horribly inefficient software that ought to be optimized regardless but when you look at the broader picture "let's rewrite everything because it's in an inefficient language" is generally not actually an optimal strategy.

The fuss is that if you call everything champagne, then champagne doesn’t exist anymore. It becomes impossible to know if you get the real stuff or not. This is very anti-consumer.

That’s not just a problem with « made in China » copycats, the US is a big offender too in this regard. I’d hate to be a consumer in the US because there’s no way to be sure about what you buy.
This is the only valid question here. Bloated workforce is somehow a must-have byproduct of growing cash flow, someone could surely say why. Is it prestige? Is it managers gaining more power by commanding more teams and this workforce then remains? Is it to please shareholders with feature bloat? Is it an actual (one-time?) need to scale up globally?

I hate Xitter like the next guy, but if there is one thing Musk made right is to show you can axe most of the staff of an established platform and you can still have a running global scale operation (ignoring some early downtimes/hiccups and all other, khm, content-related issues). It seems currently they have around 600 full-time engineers.

FWIW, there is rationale for platform to own content vs licensing deal that forces platform's hand to 'make unavailable' items their customers already purchased[1].

> if you were a kid in a poor family, rechargeables probably did not exist.

Poor kid from a poor family here, I switched entirely to NiCad AAs and AAAs in 1986 'because it was cheaper' to reuse the same batteries over and over.

I accidentally wiped a bootleg Guns and Roses concert tape by leaving it on top of my NiCad charger (bought from Maplins) once and somehow it had this huge magnetic field that rendered the tape to something that faded in and out in line with the angular position of the tape on the spool.

Today I have about 60 sets of NiMH AAs and AAAs, and still never seem to have a good set around when something needs it's batteries recharging. Today's chargers are a dream compared to the 80s though, I have 5 or 6 and they all have different pros and cons (eg my AccuCell is the 'overall best all around'; my Nitecore can resurrect cells that have gone below 0.7v, deep cycle cells, and handle 18650/14550; and my iMax can charge anything that even looks remotely like a battery)

edit: oh, and a shoutout to EBL for making awesome rechargable Li-Ion PP3s that are actually 9v and have a decent capacity, even if they do need a special charger.
If I wasn't on Facebook then I wouldn't have been able to join my local running group. That is one demonstration of how it has increased my happiness by me being on it. However, if Facebook didn't exist then the running group would probably use some other platform so in aggregate Facebook hasn't improved things; just made it easier for groups to organise.
i don't like _auto_complete, i find that the nondeterminstic text changes on the screen are pretty distracting. however, I do really like quick lookup of relevant names at my own will from the editor. this is possible with even e.g. ed and ctags.

i'd wager nearly every development environment is integrated to some extent, piping output in the unix shell is integrating.
