I have been there. I was working long hours because work was exciting. And also I wanted to show my boss that I put in a lot of effort. I voluntarily spent a lot of time in the office to finish tasks more early than expected. Sometimes this extra time was completely unproductive and the things I did turned out to be irrelevant a few days later. Sometimes it was very important for the business that things got finished and the extra time was therefor productive. I learned for myself, that I cannot sustain working long hours regularly without loosing interest in the job.

Right now my mantra is: Keep showing up.

For me this means get work done on a regular basis. My focus is to work on this topic for years without loosing interest, instead of prioritizing to finish the current workload as fast as possible.

Real productivity is achieved when you are an expert in the domain and you have built a network in the company or market segment. Expertise and personal network are the main levers to get thins done.
Another fun fact: One of the Coherent's authors was Tom Duff (of Duff's Device fame) apparently.
> I’d like to see which accounts are using the services for a better community

It’s more like after you use it for a little while you look up and suddenly realize you’re in a new but familiar feeling community. It definitely skews developer/blogger/liberal, is openly inclusive and mindful of accessibility (not perfect, but always trying), there's a lot of overlap with various micro.blog/IndieWeb/fediverse communities, a lot of folks with active GitHub accounts doing interesting stuff, a strong photographer contingent, an overarching “positive vibe” as the kids say, and a clear sense that you don’t have to remind the kind of folks who enjoy using omg.lol that there’s a person on the other side of the keyboard.

Maybe that still doesn’t make much sense to you, but while I’m happy to pay for cool stuff people make on the internet, I’m paid up with omg.lol through 2030, which just isn’t something I would do anywhere else.

Maybe. But that’s like learning to build a car and then building one and fine tuning one because I had to go to an office 200 meters away once in a few years.

Yeah, I did Texin’ in college and tried after that as well. No body gave a shit and now when I look at CVs for hiring purposes I don’t give a shit either. Now my CV is on a live.com free throwaway account — that’s where it resides and gets worked upon and converted to PDF when needed.
It doesn’t work for me. A lot of people don’t realize that their posts won’t show up in searches on other Mastodon instances unless they include hashtags. I found it to be a huge chore to find people posting about topics I was interested in. I pretty much gave up.
> is that you have an active account with the business sending the push

But they wouldn't need to analyze push notifications for that, they could simply ask Google/Apple who installed a given app.
Seeing the picture of them holding swords when they were young is blowing my mind. I only picture Carmack as an old sage, not as a young ranger.
Writing a book on a topic is an art unto itself. Even most technical books have a coherent narrative, carefully crafted to bring the reader from point A to point B.

If you want a quick reference on a well-known topic, then sure, use an LLM. Or a search engine. Chances are it will even answer you correctly (but also chances are it won't, and if it is a new topic for yourself - strap in, you're in for a ride).

But if you want to really understand something, then you will have to do your research, and a lot of this research has already been summarized into tangible artifacts optimized for your consumption which LLMs would never be able to replicate.

Even if you can convince one to regurgitate a book verbatim, the narrative thread would be lost unless you weave it yourself with your prompts - but would you, the learner, be able to do re-enact the narrative better or even on the same level than the original author who posessed the knowledge on the topic?
Are you paying for this, or are all of the features you use part of their free offering? I didn't realize until just now that they created a free tier: https://blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-is-now-free
Can confirm. Used Kdenkive and Pitiwi, and they crashed on me. I lost a lot of work.
What value does it have?

The payload of Signal's push notifications should have roughly the same length every time as they are only used to wake up the app. The time I receive a push notification doesn't depend on me, but on when my contacts send messages. (Yes, you could use this to narrow down someone's time zone but not much more than that. Plus there are a million other ways to determine the time zone.)
Around that price isn't that price. They've had years to deliver on it. Still failing.

That's the problem with lies. Lies make you a liar.

Got works great. The main pain point for me is largr binary files. There is git LFS, but it isn't default and takes some configuration.
I'm willing to advocate in favor of the short blurbs. I follow a lot of 'dev blogs' by RSS and my homegrown feed reader also only shows the short blurbs. I do this because all these people crafted their (personal) sites, made it beautiful and personal, and I'm wanting to visit their site to pay hommage and look at what they made (whether that's a cool logo, a nice color scheme, etc.) exactly in the way they made it. My ad blocker already blocks the ads I don't want to see (if there are any externally loaded ads).

It also has the benefit of the site owners now being able to see somebody is subscribed to the feed. I'm visiting their website and they might see my traffic in their visitor statistics. To make this even more clear to the site owner, I add an URL parameter called /?rss_ref=heyhomepage.com
The free version of Resolve is so good. I looked for a reason to pay them- nope, free version did literally everything a non-professional would need. And they even have free downloadable lessons on how to edit - not just use their editor, but edit in general- on the website.
More like PHP and Pug, but in Go. As someone who likes server-rendered websites but prefers Go over PHP, I like this approach.
@dang this is a dupe - I submitted this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38553735
The standard templating in Go has been good enough for my small projects, and I usually avoid adding libraries if I can help it. But seeing this makes me want to try it just to see how it compares.
Our Three Blind Mice
The recent testimonies of the three university presidents (Claudine Gay of Harvard, Sally Kornbluth of MIT, and [soon to be departed?] University of Pennsylvania’s Liz McGill) concerning their inaction about endemic anti-Semitism on their campuses have probably done more damage to higher education than any recent event in memory. (And note there was not a white, male, heterosexual supposed oppressor to be found among the enlightened).
Some of them do indeed exist as electives.
I actually had what appears to be a real Adobe dev pop up and tell me to delete two files from my installation which actually solved the problem I've had for half a year with Photoshop crashing on startup. I guess they are out there somewhere!
While diving into the nitty-gritty of exactly how gradient descent and backpropagation work might (and only might) be beyond you, it's a temporary thing. You can learn it all, if you want, at some point.

Thanks to TensorFlow, and Keras, etc.. you can just use the work of others as you learn AI and ML, just as many have no idea how a car engine works, or how exactly dynamic RAM in their computers works.

There are many practical aspects to ML/AI that you can learn straight away, like how to partition up your training data into training, validation, and test datasets to keep things honest, and avoid overfitting.

Stay curious, and dig in anywhere it seems interesting. More knowledge is generally a good thing.

Good luck
Agreed! Not as stark a contrast as Doom to Half-Life, but even Quake (1996) to Quake III Arena (1999) was an insane leap technologically.
I'm a bit surprised that the number of architectures is so small. It really isn't too hard to add others, particularly if qemu is acceptable. Even without emulation, I have Alpha, ARM (big and little endian, 64 bit, v4, v6hf, v7hf), m68k, MIPS (32 bit little endian, 64 bit big endian), SuperH (little endian), SPARC (32 and 64 bit) and VAX.

It might be worth considering having a central repository which all machines of various architectures then use to run test builds, so the people working on projects don't have to test each architecture one at a time. Of course, some architectures only have gcc, and others have both llvm (and therefore Rust, among other things) and gcc, but it still wouldn't be hard to set up two broad groups.
Great project. Part of my go to stack now (FE:Templ+Htmx BE: Go,sqlc, postgres)
Sometimes I daydream about having a totally different profession. Or no profession at all. I've been steeped in tech my entire life. Leaving it behind for a simpler life sounds appealing sometimes. Maybe I could be a farmer and perfect the plant/harvest cycle. Maybe I could be a fisherman and ride the seas. Maybe I could be a cook - I'd love to be a ramen or sushi chef. Maybe I could live a quiet life in the woods, living off simple things that I could grow or buy from the local store.

I enjoy the rat race - nicer titles, nicer places to live, nicer cars, faster tech - but sometimes, I wish I could just live a simple life and not need as much.
What's "reasonable" is not a trivial matter to answer, and different people will differ in their opinion here. What goes into someone's determination for what is reasonable I think is very complex and deep, including their own moral values, emotional attachment, repercussions to themselves, perceived righteousness, strategic analysis, etc.

I don't personally know what's reasonable or not here to be honest, but I do know the differing opinion on it is a major contributor to the discourse and the disagreements around it.

I wanted to point that out, because you and another commenter were not able to convince each other, and this is why in my opinion.
Are you Palestinian, C6JEsQeQa5fCjE? We want to understand what Palestinians mean by "free".

What Westerners such as Joe Biden, HRW, Amnesty and American college students think it (should) mean is important, but at the end of the day, when Palestine is free, these people will not be there and Palestinians will.

> Those who oppose their freedom will often jump to interpreting their call for freedom in the worst possible way...

Perhaps so! Let's apply the Principle of Charity at all times to Palestinian calls for freedom and interpret them in the best possible way!

But before we investigate, I will ask you the same question that I asked GP: what evidence if any, no matter how unlikely, would it take to convince you that when Palestinians say "free" they generally mean "free of Jews and other infidels"?
Haha, we know that plenty are trying...
Does everything have to end with “in my opinion”? Isn’t that implied?

Opened the front page of the "community of the nicest, most interesting people". Here's what I found, omitting some jokes, "dear diary", etc (profanity omitted, light rephrasing to keep it short):

AI is taking our jobs

Trump is a liar

MAGA republicans are plotting against democracy and Trump is Putin's puppet

Trump is bad

AOC is cool, she's showing that evil GOP

Twitter is dying

Christians are hateful bigots

Republicans are Nazis

Republicans hate women and want them to die

Ayn Rand is stupid and I already realized it as a kid

Hunter Biden is an innocent victim of a vast right wing conspiracy

Elon Musk is evil and stupid

Trump is stupid, while Obama is smart

I didn't search for that on purpose or anything, didn't time it, just opened the first page at the random moment and scrolled for a couple of screens. It's not 100% of content, but what I described is the majority of it. Maybe I got particularly unlucky. But if I haven't, I fail to recognize how it's different from 99% of reddit or anywhere else on the internet? Which is the part I am supposed to be impressed with, where was my nostalgia for the Internet of the olden days supposed to wake up (and yes, I was there, Gandalf)? I'm just not getting it. I mean, I have nothing against people getting together and having one more place out of millions to discuss all the ways Trump is stupid and evil, but I feel like that's not exactly what the description in the article promised me.
> In an interesting turn of events Houston (due to its lack of zoning laws making redlining hard to impossible) is the most racially diverse city in the nation.

In a nation that includes, amongst other cities, New York City, this is extremely unlikely.
GTA6 – Deconstructing a System and Method for Virtual Character Locomotion
Also made one for this year. My particular challenge is that we need a heavy-duty tree stand to account for feline perturbations. This means the water capacity is pitiful (0.5 litres, perhaps). Also there's not a lot of room for float switches.

My design has an optical water level sensor and a cheap peristaltic pump, plus an ESP8266 for sanity ("if on for more than 5 mins, sound the alarm").

>Determination of Lead and Cadmium in Foods by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

There are newer, more sensitive, more expensive, and more versatile spectrometers, but one of these would do nicely.

It's good to have a technique and and instrument sensitive enough to measure something like drinking water directly, using a small sample, and on our unit fairly automated with the optional accessories, once you had the samples prepared and carefully racked.

More costly is the facility capable of properly handling & disposing of the chemicals necessary to accomplish the analysis, along with instrument support equipment like calibrated glassware and balances for precision mass and volume measurement, plus appropriate sample processing (in this case a microwave sample processor).

So you can't just put the instrument in your garage and get going realistically.

Where would you start?

Somewhere other than the spectrometer, basically the instrument itself would be the final icing on the cake.

The first step has got to be preparing the samples or you can't make it to step two.

Regardless of what type of spectrometer, or even a trace level chemical test kit, what they are really built to test is plain water samples, not applesauce or even more unwaterlike foods.

So you need a sample preparation procedure that aggressively "digests" a small amount of food into a watery mixture using a bit of acid, then further dilute it with water afterward so the viscosity is closer to plain water too. And that's the liquid that you test using a spectrometer sensitive enough to do a good job, in spite of dilution (in the linked PDF 0.3 gram of food sample diluted up to 20mL of spectrometer feed).

Making that one PDF paragraph on Sample Preparation a proven starting point.

You would have to get really good at that before it would make much sense to go much further.

OTOH, there's this:

https://ideacenter.nd.edu/commercialization-engine/for-indus...

Which doesn't depend on as sensitive of a spectrometer, instead reliant on a full 2 Liter sample of the water or waterlike fluid you want to test.

IOW you might be able to digest 2 kilos of applesauce, using only a fraction of a liter of acid if you were willing to forget about having it come out in 40 minutes, then concentrate the mineral content efficiently into a small bed of activated carbon by filtration like this.

Then end up measuring the lead accurately using the less-sensitive x-ray spectrometer which is available in hand-held format.

For the most part without the need for an analytical bench, just a sample preparation bench.
What happens once AI is able to do all our work for us? What will humans spend their time doing?
Mercurial and Facebook's sapling is much better than git in developer exp wise. Git is broken in many places but it become standard just because GitHub popularity and rise in development community that love to take whatever big orgs spoon feed them. Common developers these days don't like to spend time researching things that won't make quick bucks easily.
So tell the LLM you want it to handle corner cases and it will add code to handle them. It can also generate unit tests for those corner cases. LLMs have fundamentally changed programming. There's still skill required to do it well, but we're a long ways from Borland TurboC on DOS.
There is an old saying: "Time is money."

When you buy something, you are exchanging your money to obtain someone else's time. In this case, time that someone else spent to make sure a program works.

The F in FOSS stands for free, so nobody is under any obligation to spend their time so you don't spend yours.
I wouldn't have much respect for a business that couldn't supply me with the basic tools. I have actually been in this situation in the 90s. I was working in the USA for a telecoms company. They said that they couldn't give me a PC to use, but it was in the pipeline. In the meantime they gave me an old serial terminal, greenscreen and all, to use with their mainframe. After it warmed up (15 minutes) the contrast failed and there was nothing on the screen. I reported this and was told that's all they had. I offered to buy my own PC and use that until they could supply one but that wasn't allowed. This situation didn't change for many months. Despite the chance to earn a green card I didn't renew my contract.

These days, in a temporary situation, I would use anything that got the job done. A tablet with or without an external keyboard perhaps, but a phone would be marginal.

I wouldn't change professions if an employer couldn't supply a computer, I would change employer.
A federal law can easily be changed by simply passing another federal law. It's not like a constitutional change.

Of course, this requires political will too, but unlike various other issues, I doubt that some old law protecting national parks is going to be held as sacrosanct as the second amendment. The GOP certainly doesn't care about protecting NP resources, and the Dems will agree too as long as enough scientists tell them it's a good idea.
this. it was pretty straightforward to port to NT modulo a few quirks around shared memory, mmap and fork/exec.

edit. oh yeah, line endings. that sucked. that said, nt had way better multithreading support.
Aside from the other replies, I should point out that two very capable programers had to implement this differently because the performance implications of a design decision are different depending on the working-set size.

For all but the most basic data structures, the variations are so many that rolling your own is often a good design choice.
From my brief usage it seems to lack a couple of basic stuff, but nothing that couldn't be added later on.

But, I am curious why they decided to go with reserving keywords (like if and for) instead of doing what JSX does and just wrapping any Go code in braces.
Relatedly, I saw in the thread that people call these types of deceptions as “smoke and mirrors” or “dog and pony show”. What happened to “Potemkin”?!
Recently I've been drifting away from template engines toward native data structures + serialization for programmatically creating html/yaml. For example, CDK is following this pattern for building cloud configuration YAML.

Do folks know of standard libraries or patterns in Go or Rust to generate HTML without string templating? (As mentioned elsewhere, I'm looking for a backend for HTMX)
Exposing the number of subscribers from large RSS readers is a nice addition, but it also slightly nudges one to centralization.

I try to let site owners know I'm subscribed to their feed by adding an URL parameter like /?rss_ref=heyhomepage.com They might or might not see this RSS referrer in their own visitor statistics. I also do not consume all the article's content solely in my reader, but I show a short summary and then click the link to the article. This way I can enjoy their (personal) site and they can see my traffic more clearly.
I've found much use out of custom elements.

On nice use, that took me maybe 30m to code up, is a `<remote-fragment>` element.

<remote-fragment src=/fragments/topbar.htmlf />

simply retrieves the specified file and adds it to the DOM where the `remote-fragment` is declared.

No need for server-side scripting to include common parts of the HTML page.

There's a bunch of similar use-cases currently satisfied by fat client frameworks or server-side languages that simply go away when you have custom elements.

So, yeah, you can do components with webcomponents they way you do much of react components, but there's some stuff that you can do with webcomponents that just makes life a little bit better[1].

[1] Experimenting with propagating state throughout a (client-side) application using only declarations in HTML, with custom elements performing stuff.
I've been using the term Goodhart's Hell to describe what I see as a system of metric hacking and shortsightedness. I do think there's systems encouraging people to meet metrics for metrics sake but not stopping to understand the metric or what it actually measures, and most importantly, how that differs from the actual goals. Because all metrics are proxies and far from complete, even for things that sound really simple. I think this is because we've gotten so good at measuring that we've innately forgotten about the noisiness of the system where when we weren't good at measuring that was just forced upon us in a clear manner.

But I really don't get it either. One of the things that really sets humans apart from other animals is our capacity to perform long term planning and prediction. Why abandon that skill instead of exploiting it to its maximum potential?
It’s a long story.
