Local football team has people who are mostly mediocre and they make decent money, since I know one of the players. I don't mean to belittle their efforts or the time invested but generally, it is a competitive sport but it's also at same time providing more opportunities overall.

I suppose it depends on where you are and how competitive it is.

You do have a point about elite sport though the argument extends to casual as well, where casual football, tennis or even basketball is just healthier than sitting over a chess board. Pardon me, I might be a bit biased here since I am maybe too conscious about sedentary chair-lifestyle since I work from an office and spend a lot of time in a chair and lately been trying to get more active.
But you do, for the arguments mentioned. Native iMessage client with native iMessage functionality versus SMS with whatever garbage implementation your carrier decided to go with.
The same way as in any language when done properly, we use profilers.

Plenty of languages have intrisics, it is a urban myth that only C derived languages do.
What if some of the people behind this very effective and successful tool are there because they're enthusiastic about the work they're doing?

I'd bet cash money that there are at least some for whom the paycheck means they can do their thing and not have to take a day job. These are the sorts of people who create a Figma instead of an enshittification.

The trick is always to get paid something instead of having to get a day job. And I'm sure there are folks who 'have to come into work' and are still doing good and worthy jobs… but man! You figure they are all like that? At Figma, of all places?

Never work in the music business, is all I can say. Or filmmaking. There are entire industries that ride on the ability to wildly underpay talented people just so they can do the things they're excited about doing. Far from 'not promising a huge payout', you can absolutely screw large numbers of people if they get to hear the band play, or get to look through the viewfinder and see the rushes.
When I was junior I shared an office with a senior. I was constantly asking him questions. He pretty much knew everything, I'm not kidding, this guy was amazing. So this arrangement worked out really well for me, but not sure how much he liked having his work interrupted so much. Could be that between the two of us, the benefits averaged out to zero.
> As tech people we really should put our money where our mouths are on this and stop using github, and in doing so fix the pain points.

Github is (in my mind at least) just one manifestation of this, but yeah, I host my own Forgejo (a fork of Gitea) instance for personal projects. Also trying to get the company to switch to Gitlab (especially since I strongly prefer its CI/CD to TeamCity), but I'm against a lot of organizational inertia there so that's not really a fight I expect to win.

> I dont know how you got to global energy prices

All energy prices are global. It's a global market.

> Energy prices are higher

The war reduced gas supply in Europe by closing pipelines and removing Russia from the supply market. Supply goes down, price goes up.

It is my opinion that this impact on supply is the biggest, almost sole, driver of energy prices over the last 2 years.

Can you explain how burning trees has caused high energy prices in a way that is distinct from the effect of the war?
What's with the obsession with Trump? If you can't let go of it, think about the Quran burning guy, or the Austrian scandal.
Yes, with Solargraph. It uses type inference most of the time, and when it can’t guess the type, you can add YARD comments. Intellisense also works well (autocomplete).
That's exactly the question.

My solution is: Bob should try to ask with moderation, and Bob and Alice should work together in a situation where Bob does not need to distract Alice. If Bob needs to distract Alice, then Alice just needs to live with it. If Bob has questions but does not need to distract Alice, then Bob should not ask the question and just needs to live with it.

What confuse me is that some people here just answer: obviously Alice is right and Bob is wrong, all the time except exceptional cases.
Yes, we had that at Oracle as a product. SQL + PL/SQL = HTML. It also had a built in versioning that if two users would change the same record it would moan.
> it feels like you don't necessarily realize that some people do need deep work, and prioritize your quick satisfaction to other's focus.

This is very one-sided. If you can unblock someone now so they don't spend 3 hours searching through the local intranet for some information, then that makes your team faster. There's a balance to be had, of course, but your team's overall delivery is what's important.

> I view it as a type of interruption.

It's not your view. Of course it's an interruption. That doesn't make it bad.
> After some years I realized that centralization happens because decentralization is in some sense like communism. If you take away ownership over private property then people lose the incentive to improve it. It becomes a commons and the usual tragedy follows.

Its really interesting to me that this was one of your takeaways, I actually would have seen it the other way around but haven't worked in the space nearly as much as you have.

The way I see it, centralization of the internet is the analog to communism and the argument for it would be that the internet and the services we use every day are so vital to daily life that one authority needs to own it to make sure everyone has access. In that view, decentralization would lead to things being poorly maintained and abused for selfish gain. Centralization (communism) would benevolently protect the common resources on everyone's behalf and make sure those resources are fairly made available to all.

From that angle, centralization of the internet is likely to follow the same road as historic examples of communism. We would see corruption, censorship, and power/money being syphoned off to the few in charge. That sure does feel like the centralized internet we have today.
The model doing the compression is trained with a human language corpus. Also, this is a generic procedure to feed another model trained on a similar corpus. Therefore, I'd not expect the compressing model to do anything exotic.

Btw., humans are quite good at compressing as well. SMS used to be billed per 128 characters. Also, any slang or technical jargon are attempts at compression. These are how people push the limits of expressivness and contribute to language evolution.
Stripe login page decorative background design analysis
I spent some time examining Stripe's login page decorative background and concluded it's built around two ideas: 1) a diagonal line that crosses through the midway point between the input boxes and the submit button, and 2) vertical lines spaced out half the width of the card. There are then slight variations around those two ideas that make the page more interesting, which I compare to how music is more interesting when the sound has variation around an aesthetically-pleasing tone/chord (e.g. timbre).
may your project prosper.

You sound like my current employer. Working for them the only worrying thing I ever think about is that I don’t want this gig to end, ever.
Safety Systems / OpenAI
I think the only thing I’m assuming here is that there are people who want to do the work. Perhaps because it’s fun to write a compiler (it is!), or because they don’t view llvm as the pinnacle of compiler technology, or maybe their employer sees value in it.

And apparently there are people who want to do the work, because we have work on a couple of implementations.

You can choose to use your one true implementation, no one is stopping you. But it’s kind of weird to assume that people working on another one are detracting from yours. That’s not usually the way open source software works.
As the classic quote goes:

Yeah. Techbros aren't the new police.
I read maybe two or three of these articles here on HN, and I am totally convinced that this is true, but my boss is not reading HN and has a different opinion. A shared office is also cheaper for him, so I need more than forwarding a link to an article to convince him.

I would love to hear more about how people actually changed their situation, other than the obvious way of looking for another job.
I noticed something similar to this on my Insta360 ONE X charger. Initially I thought I could just use any USB power adapter but after many tries it turned out that the vendor implemented their own voltage on their charger sold separately. Quite a disappointment as charger broke after two years.
It’s rather rich to be invited to a party and point out that if the hosts had used their resources better, there’d be enough chairs and food for everyone.
It's a bit early as the schedule is filling up, but far from complete or definitive. The Main Tracks for example aren't published yet, and many devrooms are still updating the schedule.
One advantage of having multiple implementations, is that there is Java the language (like ISO C), and then there are the JVM implementations (like GCC).

Azul and OpenJ9 have intrisics for object layout, ART has intrisics for faster JNI, microJ has intrisics for SNI (a simpler JNI alternative), and so on.

The push back is because it's extreme and one-sided. If you have some information that unblocks a team member, or another part of the business, say to make a sale, yes you should be interrupted. Your salary comes from somewhere, and your delivery is as a team, not an individual.
Anthropic feels very much like google though. It took me 6 months to get access, once I finally did it was only a testing type account that then requires me to talk to sales before they take my credit card.

On the other hand OpenAI has been quick to take money. Mistral too, got an account immediately and able to add billing details and they don’t even have a usage page so I have no idea how much I have burned through.
Nice to see clients in Go.

It would be great if you can make it generic, to use any model not just Mistral. Take a look at LiteLLM.
That's not how any of that work - monopolies are fine, what gets regulated is anti competitive monopolistic behavior.

This text serves as a wake up call for me. I didn’t take a Compilers class in college but I always wanted to learn how compilers work. Now that I’m done with college I finally have time to start this project. Also the “extending graduation for several years because of working full time” hits home. Thanks for posting this!
Some alternative implementations like PTC and Aicas do, for the Real Time Java implementation.
I think it does a very good job of expressing its intent?

> 'emails the requestor with a confirmation' .. 'when the ticket is closed'

The compiler can figure out the other bits. do .. end is { .. }
To be completely fair, those power banks should have a diode (or some protection circuitry) to prevent their damage. A loose cable could easily put higher voltage on the port than 5.25V.

That said, what an awful USB port to come across. A little reading wouldn't have gone amiss though. My natural reaction would have been to assume it was an output, not an input.

> I have not booked a hotel yet, so if you know a good place to stay, especially near the venue, pointers would be appreciated.

The venue (a university) is outside the center. It is has very good public transport connections so I always take a hotel in the center, preferably near a tram stop going directly to the university. The center is a better place for the evenings ;)
I'm not sure. But in the end you are laying molten plastic on top of each other. Even with a perfect flat print surface you will have slightly uneven extrusion that will be noticeable on top down lighting.

Same cube with top down light: https://github.com/lord-carlos/mk3-upgrade/blob/master/asset...

What we have is Pressure Advanced. Where we stop extruding (as much) right before a corner. And we do that by doing some test prints with different values and eye balling it.

Also some firmwares like klipper have some math in it to compensate for heat expansion over time of the printers frame. Or something like that.
ABL has been recently improved with the Beacon 3D probe (https://beacon3d.com/), I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, as my cheap induction probe has been working reliably ever since I mounted it.

But, the Beacon 3D along with mesh leveling and selective leveling area are my favorite recent innovations in 3D printing.

Show HN: Amplify Organic SaaS Growth
Hey HN community! I'm excited to share with you, my new thing, GrowthPanels.com.

The App is live, but I haven't implemented any payment plans etc so right now it's a free for all.
No. (That is a thing that happened. It's not relevant here—and definitely not "the whole point"—but it did happen.)
In what way is that even remotely relevant?
I recently found a Huawei-branded power bank that outputs 9V over USB-A. See https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000209696496.html and look at the label on the seventh picture.

EDIT: I may be wrong. Apparently this is now allowed by the Quick Charge spec. See comments below.
As a point of interest, there is a class of patterns called Standard Essential Patents (SEP), which the patent holder is required to sell licenses under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) conditions when an implementation of that patented idea is required to comply with certain standards.
They could save money by not building any rockets at all, that's much cheaper.

Yes and no. Milestones get finished, and even continuing stories are composed of chapters.

I'm working on a system similar to this to satisfy my own needs but can open up to brave alpha users if requested.

I've a concept of boards/themes where you can add structured information like people (to remember contacts in context), bookmarks, thoughts, tasks and even RSS feeds to stay up-to-date on a theme (e.g battery tech). Emails and calendar will be coming soon so that your personal corpus is voluminous and of high enough quality to make a personal GPT actually useful. E.g "who was the CTO I met at the dinner last week".

FWIW I'm already a founder of a company so this isn't intended as a commercial pitch.
I'm not at work to make friends, but also being connected to the people around you who you are spending 8+ hours a day with is important, I believe. What happens when you need something? Relationships ease communication, and reduce the chances of miscommunication.

Do you just want to sit in silence all day making money for the company? Do you never need to blow off steam? Do you never need help?

> i dont want to hear your quick questions

I'm not trying to be hateful with this next sentence, but I struggle to even understand who would act like this, and for what reason that isn't a diagnosis.
Mostly everything that is not creative: creativity needs focus. Take any job that isn't creating something, anything related to customer, operations, support, ... and one can do it in almost any conditions.
I was introduced to TTRPGs this year by my friend Robby Howell. He spent the past 10 years designing a system called Enclave [0] (which he successfully Kickstarted). Enclave is a diceless system that focuses on the character acting and collaborative storytelling elements. It was a very easy system to pickup and has been a blast to play. I've made several new friends and I'm now in a session every week. Even surprised myself in becoming a Gamemaster (Conduit in Enclave). I've found being the Conduit as a consistent way to enter "flow state" where time is just flying by as the story unfolds in my mind. Would highly recommend checking out Enclave or any TTRPG that strikes your fancy, you might find a new hobby.

FileVault ALREADY gives you the option of creating a backup code to print out and save.

AppleID ALREADY gives you numerous methods of recovering lost passwords, if you remember to set them up in advance.
Yes, mandating this on consumer devices is quite sensible.

At least adhere to the spec to such a level that it won't destroy other hardware.
I think when it comes to safety restrictions should be there. The hacker in me hates it too but just imagine if a small portion of standard-looking outlets did not output 220V (or whatever standard you have) and say 330V.

Many applicances would break, or perhaps even catch fire.

If there were many different USB-A devices and people were used to checking the voltage output before plugging, that might not be needed, but since probably none of us check for a USB-A port to see if it outputs 7.5V, it better be mandatory to be certified.

Though, maybe it is, but still those cheap Chinese adapters slip away.
htmx's angle is that the developer don't interact with the javascript, so it's not a javascript library. Otherwise one could say that html is a C++ library because the markup is interpreted and run by the browser (written in C++).
No, their investors.

If you want an employee with exactly the same motivation as an investor, hire an embezzler.
Better analogy would be iWork 365 where Apple reverse engineers the back end to do the cloud storage and collaboration all using MSFT's azure boxes. And charge money for it.

What could possibly go wrong?
I know opinions differ. My best experiences have been when sharing a office with one developer, both working on the same project. That way, if we had to discuss something, we would not disturb anyone else, and if not, we both could work in peace. It was easy to see how busy and "deep" the other guy was, and not to interrupt him at the wrong time.
I use PostGREST a lot, but with strong guardrails. IMO you should always have a real API layer, and use this just for a convenience to do the base load. Like all these tools, once you go to real world requirements, adapting the tool is worse than what it is trying to replace (SQL + some language and framework).

Already PostGREST is getting complicated, additions like this will make it less attractive to me.

9v or 12v over USB-A is reasonably common here in Asia... You always need to check the voltage rating before randomly plugging stuff in if it isn't from a big manufacturer.

For example, the handwarmers I'm using right now are USB-A at 12 volts, but have a dial to adjust the voltage up and down between 0 volts and 12 volts to adjust the temperature (I think it's actually PWM on the 12v power lines, but haven't actually checked).

5.5V or 6V is also common because it lets you use thin cheap wires which remove about a volt and still can fast charge phones (which tend to be picky and will drop back to 500mA charging if the voltage droops).

Big manufacturers also use non-5V over USB sometimes, but you need to send a special message to enable higher voltages, so it's safe to plug them into anything. Still troublesome if you're using a USB Y-splitter or multi-headeded cable.
Exactly, the ageism here at HN is outrageous.

That depends on what they spend them on and what the recipient does with them. Which is, obviously, the exact point of the thought experiment. It’s not the existence of money, no matter how great the amount, that drives inflation, it’s the spending thereof.

And it’s not just mere spending either, but how it’s spent matters. One of the reasons the government has been able to issue trillions of new dollars a year for the past decade and a half with relatively little inflation is that most of that money was captured by a relatively small number of ultra high net worth persons who mostly hoard it and don’t appreciably change their expenditures except of course on finance assets, which observably have inflated like crazy.

However, in 2020 when government started spending new money into the hands if average citizens then inflation started to skyrocket.

I don’t understand why this is hard for people when it’s been so clearly observable. It’s a cautionary tale against letting ideology override evidence I suppose.
