I did the same thing, used to fall asleep reading the strategy guide for at least a year before I got the game myself.

I was similarly absorbed with those annual “bumper collection of cheats for video games” books that used to come with tech magazines, endlessly rereading them and memorizing them for games I never owned.

I wonder:

A) How much this is endemic to the Hacker News demographic. I’ve always been absorbed in the pursuit of useless knowledge (later in life this manifests in unnecessary PC watercooling and Haskell addiction).

B) If we all had genius parents that realized you can spend £3.50 (much less than the cost of an A list game) and keep a child occupied for an entire year, while also encouraging them to read (!!).
Hooray for Consumer Reports! They're one of the few truly independent (e.g. no paid sponsorships like you see on YouTube channels) product testing and review companies. I have a subscription to them and it's served me well, and I hope they stick around for a while.

They're literally rewriting in Swift right now. Foundation is being rewritten entirely in Swift. All new code is in Swift. All new frameworks are Swift-only. They're using Swift from low level firmware on the Secure Enclave to apps. This is already real.

Pharmacies in the US have just recently been caught giving law enforcement warrantless access to their records, and it's not even illegal. This plan would need some stronger guarantees IMO.

I get this answer a lot when I ask similar question but how do we scan it?

Taking a Photos of every print out from our Phone? That is 1000s of photos each needing to snap and focus.

Not everyone has a scanner, and not every scanner has automated tray feed. And even if they do the quality of their scan are really low by default.

I have similar question with Business Cards as well. I have hundreds if not thousands of them. But with no way to automatically archive them.
If you use goimports (which also runs gofmt) after commenting out code, you just have to save your file and it will remove any unused imports. There is no reason to go to the extreme extent of compiling your own modified version of go just for this. The tooling is already there.

> How many cycles do we have to go through of "oh, recklessly dumping this substance into the ecosystem probably doesn't have any ill effects, and you should prove it does before being such a negative nelly"?

Because to be blunt, and even to adopt your inflammatory frame, "recklessly dumping substances into the ecosystem" has been Generally Accepted As Safe for literally thousands of years. For everything particular you want to shout about, there are thousands or tens of thousands of human impacts that went just fine. We have 8 billion of us out there, demanding zero impact just isn't going to happen.

So... do you freak out about watering your garden with a well? Ever use fertilizer or lime? Eat food at a restaurant with a grill? Buy a cut of meat wrapped in wax paper? Use anything made of smelted metal? Use a refrigerator? I mean, just think about the crazy alien cultures going on in that sourdough starter in that fridge! Everything impacts the environment. Everything leaks.

You square this by measuring impacts and doing the science, not by shouting on the internet. I'm sure that's not as satifying, and tends frustratingly not to have the villains you clearly want to see. But it's the only way that actually works.

> 45 minutes is only if you are trying to charge over 80% which you don’t actually want to do. Unlike gas tanks that have a consistent fill rate, batteries are like a sponge where near empty the charge/fill rate is much much faster than when it’s nearly full. 20% to 80% is about 10 /15 minutes depending on how new the super charger station is. This gives you about another 3 hours of normal highway driving or so depending on conditions like temperature, 70mph+ and how hilly/windy the drive is. However, if you time the stop around meal times then you can take 45 minutes to charge to fill while you are eating at a restaurant.

Great so instead of just filling to 100% and using that until it runs out now I have to think and plan the next few hundred miles and charge accordingly.

EVs are making less and less sense.
> Disk drives did exist.

They did, but FWIW, they were very small and fairly expensive compared to contemporary times. The attitude towards using disk space was a bit different back then, because it was a much scarcer and more valuable resource.
J is really great. I spent some time last year playing around with it, Dyalog APL, and some other new array languages like BQN.

I was extremely impressed by the breadth of integrations into different ecosystems that the J community had created (like R and the web tech).

Using the language reminds me of using Common Lisp. There are a lot of things that seem odd now, like how you define new words (i.e. functions), how namespaces work, or how the FFI/system calls work (i.e. !: ) [1]. Kind of like how in CL things are named "mapc", "mapcar", "mapcan", etc. Both kinds of quirks come from the fact that these people were really innovating in new frontiers, and Ken Iverson and Roger Hui just kept on developing their ideas.

Working as a medical professional in an over-stressed system is demoralizing, perhaps in some ways similar to how being stuck in standstill traffic is stressful (even though perhaps there's no reason it must be a priori).

I can think of 3 colleagues (out of my team with capacity for ~9) that have left emergency medicine altogether, and 5 more that are trying to cut back to part time, in large part because the day-to-day has changed so dramatically over the last 3 years.

Part of the collapse is when the boots on the ground decide "nope, this isn't what I signed up for" and find something else to do.
All of this should not detract from the fact that Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.
Some programs have fixed minimum window sizes that may fit poorly on a barely large enough monitor and they were designed with bottom task bar in mind. An unlikely case and not a reason to disable left taskbar IMO.
It's my understanding that the Go compiler will format your code every time you compile. For Rust, its a separate tool invocation.
The core of pretend playing, is pretending. Bluey very clearly punches her dad square in the stomach, he lets out an audible sound of pain, and......nothing happens. I agree that maybe Bluey didn't actually mean to hurt her dad - but the way the scene plays out she clearly does and she isn't told about it, the dad just takes it. Because the dad is portrayed as a (in this episode - literal) punch bag who has to accept everything the kids do. No valuable lesson was shown or taught here.

My opinion anyway.
Saving it locally wasn't as viable as it is today due to smaller storage drive sizes. Previously everything was printed out (or typed out via typewriter) and that was a norm for society for a long time.

No, missing the bacteria alone won’t cause jaundice since a lot of the bilirubin will just be extracted from the feces as well.

You need to have high levels of bilirubin being created or a failing liver that can not process it and pass it off into the intestine.

If anything if you’re drinking the same amount of water and your urine turns more yellow, it probably means that you’re producing more bilirubin.

But I don’t know why this is new, I’ve known this intuitively, watching my own body process and health and diet, and noticing that when I excrete more bile, my urine turns more yellow. As does my feces.
> We should expect the difficulty of reverse-engineering any human skill to be roughly proportional to the amount of time that skill has been evolving in animals.

This other content really jumps out at me as well because it's extremely true.

Even older than walking and manual dexterity are really basic abilities like eating. We're nowhere close on that - were so far off it's not on anyone's radar. Robots will run on batteries or some other form of power - there is no way anyone is close to building robots that can eat break down food and use it for energy and repair. One of the oldest evolutionary traits.

The other is course being procreation. Will a robot be able to assemble a new one from pre-made parts? Likely not too far off. But could a robot build or grow one from scratch? That's so far off in the sci-fi future it's silly.
This is also why “entry” was a reserved word in the original C language. (So was “fortran”.)

> But it does.

I'm not anti-EV (we're on our third one, over 10 years!) but I'm not a fanboy either, I try to be very objective on them. There's good and there's bad. The expenses are higher than some will want you to believe, but there's benefits.

If you want to promote EVs it's good to be objective. Claiming that filling up a gas car is a major hassle doesn't pass the smell test. Gas stations are everywhere so you never need to plan for it or go out of your way or wait more than 5 minutes.

Also, there is cost to you to maintain docs and a cost to others if you don't.

Some things are near universal and always useful. Documenting by creating a full working example with minimal dependencies will stand the test of time.

I'm not saying don't document. Even a list of notes, clearly marked as such, can be helpful.
> one referring to something like the price on the tag and another talking of the most profitable price

Market versus negotiated price. The market price is not controlled by a non-monopoly seller or non-monopsony buyer. That doesn’t preclude someone being convinced, in exchange for a bulk order, long-term commitment (formally or informally), out of sympathy, or a bribe or because a participant is misinformed or an idiot, to sell off market at a different negotiated price.

I had to double check in case they removed it for MY 2024 but they didn't: the GTS comes stock with a manual, the PDK is an option that costs over 3k€.

Regarding the joy, I get it but that's why I asked: the GTS comes with the 4.0 NA engine and incredible balance (though I haven't driven a 992 so I can't speak from experience there).

And this is why they (and many companies) behave this way, there's no incentive to fix a problem that you will just pay them more money to fix. Fixing the bug means reduced revenue. Complaining about the problem sadly won't help, you can only stop using the app and stop buying their products.

Aside from inline assembly, Swift can operate at just a low level, it just requires more work, since those operations are unsafe. All of Apple's public frameworks are importable into Swift. At this point there are more frameworks unavailable in Obj-C.
I'd rather recommend the light hearted movie "Virgin Mountain", which is not that drastic. And in the german ARD Mediathek.
Everyone was antisemitic back then, even semites –against other semites. Not unlike current events.
Basically correct. One other element to note though is that employers love H1B because they know it gives them huge power over the employee because the employee must leave the country immediately if they are fired and it can reset the whole process.

But once you take care of all the power asymmetries it would put US and foreign on an equal footing.

However I've also interesting trends where whole departments get formed all of one nationality and the siloing is huge.
Amazing work, but those salary numbers feel off.

Background:
I've been a IT hiring manager for 20+ years now,
with about 600 hires (and salary negotiations) in total.
About 70% gamedev related, and the other 30% classic IT.

I have tracked all those numbers over the last 20 years.
They are 50-100% higher across the board; And that is base salary on-hire, without bonuses.

A senior developer for 60K?
Show me, and I'll hire 10. Make that 20. On the spot.

Last year I hired a graduate in Bulgaria for 80K/year base(!) salary.
Granted, he was the best of his year, and had some nice side projects.

According to your numbers I should not exist.
I started my career in the 90s, and never earned below 60K/year.

I suspect something might be off with your sample selection.
Or maybe people are just under reporting their numbers.
Not saying you are intentionally misleading, but these numbers just don't compute.

Hey there, I do some work with the Archive folks as an ad hoc physical archive volunteer. I'll pay for you to ship them and facilitate getting them ingested into items and a collection if you'd like. Let me know how to get in touch.

Once scanned, derive operations will take care of OCR and generating relevant metadata from the artifacts. If there are any issues (copyright, etc) preventing these items from being public, they'll be made private by patron services.

(no affiliation with the Archive, just a volunteer)
This and other concurrency problems often fall into the “you just have to know how to not get it wrong” camp. If you know to write an automated test for it, you probably know enough to reason about it and get it right. For very important things, sure, maybe write a test, but these tests are very expensive to write and maintain. It’s often cheaper to recognize (and train other team members to recognize) these scenarios and use a higher isolation level. Postgres makes this easy because serializable doesn’t come with a huge perf penalty (mostly memory, I believe).

I’m strongly in the TDD camp too, btw. So I don’t say this flippantly. I appreciate this article bringing further awareness to this.

Also, I cannot recommend partitioning (and event sourcing) enough to eliminate and simplify these problems.

> For example, for the longest time even pulling deps from Maven Central took extra third party rules (probably fixed now?), but it's reflective of the mentality.

This seems like a feature to me. Bazel is a generic, extensible build tool; the core project shouldn't need to know the specifics of one dependency system for one language.

With recent versions of Bazel and its new module system (bzlmod), it's much easier to pull in third party rules. In this case, just one line:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_jvm_external", version = "5.3")

You are broadly better off running a larger, more quantized model, than a smaller model at a higher precision. A 65b parameter model with 2bit quantization still outperforms an fp16 30b parameter model in perplexity and qualitative testing. No one I know does fp32, there's no benefit.

People train LoRAs at low precision regularly. The folks on /r/localllama are really pushing the boundaries of what can be done on consumer hardware, and the boundaries are further out than you'd think.

Also, if you want to really blow-up your intuition, check out model merges...
But there's the law and then there's a company's ability to make another's life miserable by way of lawsuit. So even if you're right, getting sued by Disney, Warner Brothers, Universal and every other player in the media world on a regular basis will cost you a staggering amount of time and money and will generate a lot of bad press. Just taking content down on the other hand costs you very little.

And since copyright and fair use law is very much decided on a case-by-case basis, there wouldn't be the one big victory which ensures they're being left alone - just an endless string of costly litigation.

Youtube isn't a public interest group or a civil rights movement that's in it for a legal or ideological goal. They're a business looking to make money. I know it sucks for the creators, but I think that's what it comes down to.
All the science I've seen has shown a strong correlation between increased levels of phthalates and a wide range of fertility problems in human males and females.

The terrifying thing is that phthalates in mothers not only cause developmental issues in the reproductive systems of their offspring, but the offspring then carry the same risks to _their_ offspring, even if they have reduced phthalate exposure post-birth, meaning you need 2 "clean" generations to clear out the contamination properly.

I think a lot more studies are starting to look at this and I predict we're going to see a rapid increase in regulation of plastics once the generational impact becomes clearer.
pypy and cpython don't mix well with each other so you have to create a whole new universe of packages for pypy. Interop with c libraries also adds complexity to the transition.

In addition, vanilla python is finally starting to tackle the worst performance problems (like the GIL getting removed for instance), so they might catch up to pypy eventually. There's also several different JITs installable into cpython systems these days too which is less painful than switching to pypy.

Personally, I am saddened pypy didn't replace standard python, but even in my own career I couldn't find a big speed difference in practice because all the heavy lifting utilizes C, C++, or fortran libraries wrapped by thin python apis.
