Does this guy make a living doing this kind of stuff? His results are always so high-level/unique. It feels like he puts 100s of hours into the results.

I'm always so worried like "corporate has their foot on my neck, I need to make sure I logged enough work to Jira and am showing enough sprint points worth of delivery week after week".

I can't imagine just being "free" and getting to do what I want/when I want/at my own pace/investing this level of time + effort + resources into passion projects...

I guess it's not a super big investment money wise. Probably $100-$200 in prototyping materials. But how much time are we talking? A few hours a day/night on average after work? For... years?
Very excited about this. We’re currently running a large db on fly and looking for a managed pg. We’re a fully Elixir shop and this couldn’t have come at a better time. Congrats to both teams!

Only because copyright laws and similar protections exist.

But I'm sorry, I can't really say that I agree with you because you're being so vague that I don't really understand what you are actually saying.
> I suspect tentacle porn is creating mass shooters at scale.

This is a rather fascinating sort of assertion. I wonder how we, or the people in question, move from one to the other.
> you can get the "chat"/discusson part everywhere now (reddit,...),

There's no organic discussion happening on reddit. Even the TV show subreddits are tightly moderated these days. If you try and 'discuss' in a way that invites genuine criticism and isn't just mindless cheerleading of the product on offer you'll find yourself railroaded off the site in short order, and the political/real-world/location subs are an order of magnitude more controlled.
The customer load on a service business like McDonald's is going to vary chaotically from minute to minute. It's a difficult problem to have it match the staffing level, while staying in business.
I'm having a hard time figuring out why you are being downvoted so much when you are following the HN policy that has been around for a very long time now, providing sources, etc. As someone that works with data, I would absolutely love to get my hands on the data associated with the visitors of this site since it first started. It may or may not exist, but referral addresses, location and whatnot. Then run some modeling on it and see what kind of interesting things popped up.

I've been browsing here for a very long time. Anecdotally I've noticed a pickup in the lack of progress, or degradation in threads, especially when it comes to economic systems and the corresponding bias that comes with it. I don't necessarily agree or disagree with you, but you've followed the HN guidelines, being insulted several times along the way.

Old HN there was of course some bias and debate, but it hardly ever resolved to petty insults about reading comprehension.
It also needs to be cleaned (daily when I was crew), and that often means taking it apart early to get ahead of closing, or putting it together late because you didn’t have enough time to get to it before breakfast ended, or maybe just don’t put it back together at all because the person that usually did it was gone that day.
Yeah, this might be one of the worst websites I've seen. This is really unenjoyable to navigate.
That only proves they can achieve growth without the fediverse, no need to ruin everything they touch for a mere 1 or 2% and fake it for being cool and supporting open standards to get the regulators off their backs. But then it's all about revenue, infinite growth and user data hoarding.

Unnecessary obstacles can be defined as voluntary obstacles or voluntary commitment. Most defintions of a game or play require it to be without real world consequence or and to be voluntary.

Gardening is playing if you do it just for fun and not for food to live off. Playing soccer is no game for you, if it's your profession.
For myself, I don't think I have aphantasia, unless it is something that can come and go. There are times where I daydream and experience vivid visions akin to psychedelic closed eye visuals (except actual visions, and not geometric patterns). Most of the time when I daydream, I can picture something in my head, but it doesn't have the depth and detail of what I experience when deep in thought.

I'm also not very much of a visual learner. I appreciate well written text to a graphic or diagram when trying to understand something new.

This was just my anecdata to backup your statement about self-reporting, and how any one individual can experience this vastly differently than the next person. I also think that phenomena like this is what is going to end up holding back artificial intelligence, as far as trying to map human mental processes on to computing. We have a long way towards understanding our own minds before we can fully conceptualize true artificial intelligence (although that doesn't make current AI not useful).

Yeah, that's an interesting detail. "Employee ownership" is not really a legal term, or rather, is applied to a wide variety of legal arrangements. Most of these do not actually give employees the powers the term suggests to many: to nominate and vote for board members, to recall them, etc.

I am a socialist, but I don't think it requires understanding of the socialist critique of capitalist social relations to see that worker ownership is not a generally applicable model for extending economic self-determination.

It’s not hypocrisy to say that the porn industry was abusive but that there may also be negative side effects to pushing extreme illustrated pornography on children.
I like the closure so I can take my mind off the task and onto home life. Leaving stuff hanging just means I'll be performing the task mentally all night.
I’ve had good luck as well with the practice of leaving myself a “head start” to pick up in the morning. It seems like it wouldn’t help that much, but in practice it makes the task of getting back into the programming zone much easier. Seems like just one of those ways to trick our brains into working a little better.
Note that our initial goal was different - not an artist who wants to make a living, but an artist who wants to perform fulfilling work.
Many modern Realtek chips still support RRCP. You just need to enable it.
For example for RTL8370N:
Register 0x18d6 configures the 16-bit key, 0x18d4 selects which ports can use it (0xFF for all, normally only the cpu port), 0x18d3=0x1 enables it.

You can write these registers via the management interface or via the EEPROM. It will not respond to discovery packets, but get and set packets work fine.

This chip also has a 8051 core that can access the internal bus and can tx/rx network packets. To use it you either attach external SPI flash (large program) or write the program into the internal RAM in the chip (small program).

All documented stuff, no secret details.
I wouldn't be so sure, Java was definitely in mind while the GC proposal was being worked on. Maybe not as much with the goroutine/Java concurrency stuff, but not sure.

Head trackers don't map movement 1:1, more like 1:10 (or so). Thus if you want to look 180 back, you turn maybe 30degs but can still eye the screen. Basically you gesture with your neck.

It sounds awkward but it works very well as an input method. It's also way less intense than VR for longer sessions.

Not saying it's absolutely superior, just that it's pretty good as designed.

I don't think there's a monotonic curve where more development leads to lower fertility. Both Sweden and New Zealand have higher HDIs than SK, but their fertility rates are higher than many countries which are considered less developed

I mean, there's definitely a correlation globally speaking, but after a certain point of development (e.g countries with HDI 0.8 and above) it looks like the correlation isn't as strong

Edit: this Wikipedia page shows what I'm referring to, see section on Contrary Findings -> J-curve https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_and_fertility

You can see on the chart, for HDIs >= 0.8 there isn't a visible trend of decrease to the level where SK is currently
the same discussion is going on with rust. it lets the compiler enforce that you're actually using a tail call, instead of silently optimizing it when it sees it and otherwise being silent.
>being forced to give up your passcode is no different then being forced to give up any secrets you might have.

Actually, the case is even stronger than you make it out to be. IIRC, one of the key constitutional issues is that providing a password is equivalent to saying "yes, this is mine". So even if we disregard the contents of the device, the issue is that you are establishing a legally relevant relationship with a piece of evidence.

I'm recalling this from a looong time ago, when I took a constitutional law class, so I hope those with fresher knowledge not hesitate to jump in.
> The vehicle can never be made safe for these circumstances.

This is not true at all. Vehicles have been getting taller and heavier, which has led to worse outcomes for pedestrians and cyclists. We could be going the other direction, but instead we're continuing to make it worse without regulation.

The underlying issue is that giving the password is, in the majority of cases, equivalent to admitting that you own/control the device. In other words, it can easily force you to reveal your involvement in a crime, i.e. to bear witness against yourself.

I think it’s different if someone is waiting on the immediate output of your work.

But in your example, if the HR person needs to process 1000 documents this month and mine is one of them, I’d much prefer they use this process to help them actually get through all that, rather than struggle to start every day and get less done over the course of the month.

Cryptography predates computers, so the only real question is has it shown up in public court records or not. I'd expect plenty of history in treason charges against caught spies, but whether the records are public or not is a different question.

Lunch is like one $1200 hour, dinner is $4-600/hour, but occurs over many more hours. Lunch is definitely busier and better staffed, and the dinner crew usually needs to to start thinking about closing, so a few go off at 7 to start dish or clean the back room or whatever.
I was a RSNA this year (major Radiology conference and trade show) and one of the presenters made the claim that their model was generalized because it works on different body parts. My intuition was they were claiming they trained it on one body parts and it subsequently worked on different body parts (which could be convincing). So at first this seemed fine. But in reality they had trained the same model on all of those body parts. That really go me to thinking about the old myth that we only use 10% of our brains. Anyway I think capacity would be when the model can no longer learn.

But anyway it made me wonder if there's a way to measure "what x% of a model is actually used" similar to the myths about human brains.
That’s the opposite problem though. The issue is damaging material being pushed towards kids that are not looking for it.
I am also an untrained artist, and can picture things with great detail in my mind. When it comes to putting them down on paper or canvas, I'm unable to get physical aspects down, such as perspective and proper lighting. Most of my art is very abstract and pattern based, and when I paint people or objects, they often come out similar to a Picasso painting (but unintentionally). I've learned to work with the way my mind works, and have adapted my art style to it, but it would be fascinating if there were some way for me to "break through" my difficulties and gain a grasp of 3 dimensional objects, in 3 dimensional space.

Play can come in any form of challenge or experience. It's about wether you do it for fun or for a living. A game is more specific and often needs a challenge or a target.

Just improvising with the idea and trashing more on big tech:
I would say, nothing, if something like that gets to happen, my guess, it will be silent, away from the noise, would not be a sexy tech headline, kind of what is happening with mastodon, there is no big names, personalities or numbers with tons of 0s behind it, just an interoperable protocol, you know, real tech. it does not need marketing or infinite scale, dependent on FOMO or other social phenomenons, its just pure value for its users, also, as Cory Doctorow said somewhere, as instances of mastodon, ideas like that are going to come and go, and that's fine, that's the process of finding the next valuable thing that will stick with us, it should be organic, the next big thing will not come from the silicon valley casino like esque.
An "IT person" would be just a job. pretty much as any other craft, what happens its that some of the most noisy parts of our industry are sick, feverish, delusional and full of their own bullshit, and we have in our subconsciousness that everything needs to be flashy, glorious, amazing, disruptive, big, competition proof and fast (in terms of success), not sustainable at all.
I think this is too reductive. A b-tree isn't the only indexing strategy, and it's well understood that an index is intended to improve read performance at the expense of write performance because the common case is that your DB handles a lot more reads than writes.

> but when you realize you're just adding one tree on top of another you're just masking the problem.

What is the problem and how do you propose to solve it without touching indexes? They are a hard requirement for any decent sized table.
Just look on EU railways regulations - they are huge and with lot of strange old technologies, because, when each country enters union, conducted long negotiations, some things country adapted to EU, for others, EU added new things in EU regulations.

Same thing with border control, every country made it considering its own traditions, practices, resources, and I think only exception exUSSR countries, which was used to totalitarian measures and used EU help to implement all new from scratch.

I think that the internet has pretty clearly shown one thing: doing things that involves a very large crowd is extremely problematic, and in order for it to continue to function, it has to aim at the most common denominator (meaning be the most vanilla possible), has to remove most autonomy of the participants, and in the end, the assholes will ruin it all.

I don't know if there's a solution to this problem. Perhaps having a large number of small "villages" is a more sustainable way.
> Where did this adversarial attitude to law enforcement come from?

They screw up very frequently. Sometimes maliciously, sometimes through incompetence, sometimes both. I can't convey the depth of this in a small comment box, but there's abundant evidence around on this topic if you care to look.

Overall, even when you're talking about legitimately designated authority given to a person ... it's VERRRY easy for a human being to screw up and get it wrong, and it has huge impact over the lives of their targets. Needs to be approached by the authorities with extreme caution. In practice, probably many of them aren't aware of the weight of their actions, or don't care.
