And reliably. I’ve been banging this drum for a while, the castle is built on quicksand.

As general purpose software makes its way into cars, and ever more critical system start running JavaScript on non-realtime Linux with buggy drivers.

we will eventually have some kind of software caused catastrophe and then regulation will come down on us like a metric ton of bricks.
Most companies aren't like Rockstar Games or older Valve. More MBA's pushing for product & market-share grab than building from passion. IMO
> I feel like by the time I could turn it into a product, Microsoft & friends will release something that makes it look like a joke. If there is no one on the SQL Server team working on this right now, I don't know what the hell their leadership is thinking.

If Cortana for Azure isn't a thing in the works, I *really* don't know what the hell their leadership is working on. I could see insane value in "why is my website slow?" and getting actionable responses.
There’s daylight between personal toolsmithing and a VC-backed startup (both are fun sometimes and a grind sometimes).

I’m getting together a bunch of related-sounding stuff in terms of integrating modern models into my workflow to polish up a bit and release MIT.

If you’d like to have a hand tidying it up a little and integrating it with e.g. editors and stuff, I think the bundle would be a lot cooler for it!
I've noticed this as well. Do you have any theories as to why that is?
Can a foreigner get a permanent residency permit in Japan? I mean, even if one purchases an abandoned property, can they live in it without legal restriction?
Is there an android version of total commander?
I will concede your point about horrible Redux codebases. I think I've tried to push that dark era out of my mind.

Without limiting productivity, I have no idea. I think you have to limit productivity along some axis or other, otherwise your codebase just turns to quicksand.
Hi there @shortformblog - yes, we are releasing calendar, contacts, and newsletter support early this year.
I think this is definitely the case for certain classes of jobs but I am skeptical about the value of those jobs.

For example, I think that consulting firm McKinsey does some kind of recruitment and job interview on campus during spring and then they announce who they are hiring for the next summer internship in Autumn. A lot of people try to get in and then there is kind of a weird thing on campus where people talk about who made it in. (I never applied so idk all the specifics just observed this.)

So is working at McKinsey or being a Google director or whatever, working at the other big consulting firms/Goldman Sachs really worth it? I don't know. It seems like they pay higher but I don't feel like there is a big value play for these firms. So really you just have people who play every trick in the book to make themselves appear impressive to get in to the school, then use that to get a job at McKinsey, then they do nothing useful there but at least they can say they were in a special club?? Is this really what's considered desirable? It just feels very artificial all the way down.

On the other hand if you didn't go to an Ivy+ I think there isn't really a barrier to doing interesting and useful things which aren't involved in this weird status game. That's not to say all students at those schools are like that but the places where degree matters the most seem questionable to me. I don't like speaking in generalities either but I think it's worth questioning this economic system we have set up with admissions and the job availability after graduation.
You can select from a procedure that change data, though?
Yup, just did this. Still way cheaper than a convertible or whatever
Do you have any idea what the lead time on a project like this would be? Given the timing for a bad 2019 leading into the pandemic and widespread predictions of severe economic shrinkage, I’m wondering whether what we’re seeing is that they had a design in-flight but someone panicked that they were going to be far short of their minimum commitments a second time. In that case, both Magic Leap and AMD would’ve been pretty motivated to have someone commit to things like fab capacity and Valve’s earlier work at least makes the possibility of shipping in a couple years seem potentially possible.
Ask HN: How did you file software patents?
Dear friends, I need help filing patents. Could you please share your recent experiences, including the process, expenses incurred, and any recommended lawyers/agents?
> The trick is figuring out what is a core competency and what should not be.

Spirit in particular just feel like financial engineering bullshit. From a quick google, in 2020, the 730 max accounted for more than 50% of Spirit's annual revenue. I struggle to understand how it's good for Boeing or Boeing's customers for T Rowe Price and Vanguard to own a supplier like that.
> Amazon promises 1-2 day delivery but has been falling through more often than first seen and can become a 2-4 day delivery

I’ve seen this claimed a few times lately here on HN but it hasn’t been my experience at all. Is there any data out there to support this claim?
From the article:

The second problem is, they have to get all that money back. If a federal employee is accidentally overpaid, the government can only recoup 16.67% of the amount of the overpayment per paycheck pay period. You can’t take it all back at once. So then they had to write a special payroll job to pull all this money back. It took ‘em like four or five months to get it all, but finally it was all accounted for.

Whats apples relevance here? Vulkan can be a good API even without apples involvement.
WiFi is not so good as a replacement for wires — the latency is too high. The main contenders seem to be Dirac and AVB, both of which run over Ethernet. Dirac uses entirely ordinary Ethernet, and AVB wants some fancy extensions, which will bump up the price of your switches quite a bit.

For good audio, you want known, controlled latency, preferably with quite precise timing. For live audio, or for a fully convenient replacement for analog cable, you want that known latency to be very short.

And you either need no drops or you need an entire drop + retransmit cycle to fit within your latency. (Hmm, FEC could be used, I suppose — encode packets such that an entire lost packet could be recovered from the preceding packets plus the next couple packets.)
It was the first CPU I learned assembly on, also 40 years ago ;-) Yes, the constrained registers made things challenging but I have positive memories about the experience.

I was introduced to Chuck Peddle ~20 years ago at a friend's wedding and got a chance to talk with him (it was kind of like meeting a rock star for me). What stuck with me was him recounting that his travels to Sri Lanka for a business there convinced him that the bustling cities in south east asia were breeding grounds for a pending viral disaster that would cover the globe thanks to advances in air travel.

When Covid came along I felt like he was somewhat validated but fortunately not to the degree he had forecasted.
This somewhat already exists in the form of semantic layers, which if done well can handle many of the queries necessary in the course of business without business users needing to know any SQL. There will still be cases where you need direct SQL, and AI tools can help the development process there at a minimum.
Yes, it is fine to move on.

But it's also fine to want to stay and fix these things.

> There's no point in accommodating yourself to a relationship that is broken, via the use of drugs.

How do you feel about drug use in general? It seems to me that it isn't so much that you're critical of therapeutic drug use in a couples counselling context so much as you're opposed to drug use entirely? Is that accurate?
Here's [1] how well the references check out for Taube's previous book. Is there any reason I should believe his newer books are any better?

Yep, I agree, inflammation is a symptom not a cause. (I also commented on your comment).

My comment just above doesn't describe it as a cause, but a symptom, in this case muscular damage from exercise. In your case, it was due to S1 L5 discs pulling on each other during exercise, which is different.

But nonetheless, inflammation brought upon as a symptom of something else. Which goes for almost everything else in the body when inflammation arises.
> If you want a multiplatform graphics API, you should use a library which implements such API on top of these native OS-specific APIs.

Typical software approach- instead of fixing the fundamental problem, just put a plaster on top. That’s how we deal with everything. Thats why our industry can’t be trusted.
Yes: “Hey, our company is on the market for sale and I thought you might be interested in taking a look before we accept another offer.”

And you can tailor it based on the specifics.

Working with an advisor can sometimes make this easier because they can be more direct and say things like: “Competitor X has made an offer and I know it’d make your life difficult if this asset ended up in their hands, so I wanted to give you an opportunity to take a look first.”

By the way, waiting until you get an offer to start trying to bring in competing ones isn’t great, definitely better to do that as early as you can if you’re serious about selling. You risk pissing off the interested party if you’re making them feel like they’re just being used as leverage and drag things out before giving them an answer.
If your house was provisioned with a T1, you already had all the things that routinely screw up a xDSL connection fixed.
OK, but, those are solved in just a few lines of code with 2D arrays. I'm not convinced it's helpful to approach them as recursions.

Also, anyone who thinks they understand how to solve DP problems on leetcode because they understand how to memoize a fibonacci recursion is in for a rather large disappintment.
A very old NTSC TV will be 525 scan lines @ 30 frames / second => 15,750 hz.

The source of the sound is the transformer which resets the scan line back to the original side of monitor.
Also, the security system assumes that the system has a general protection fault when the program counter wraps over the 4GB boundary. That only happens on AMD, not Intel.

Fundamentally different problems.

Manufacturing process builds identical widgets using standard equipment. Widgets are inspected to confirm they are within spec. Frequentist statistics are used to determine when widgets are consistently out of spec. When this happens, equipment is inspected and repaired as a corrective action. This process is well defined and linear.

Software produces bespoke, non-standard widgets to address domain specific needs. At the end of the day, software developers are defining a process for machines to follow. If you want to control quality in the software development , aside from having perfect domain knowledge for a particular project, the only way to do it do it is to define an arbitrary process for developers to follow and track adherence to it. This may have no impact, or be a hindrance. It will never add value because it will never be abstract enough to be appropriate for every domain.
> they are a "clever trick" to work around the fact that the language/runtime does not have the necessary features to support the developer experience that they would ideally have

I'd call that a pretty good definition of a "design pattern."

In this case, it's also magic framework code.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, affirmative action was a red herring meant to distract from the real barrier to multigenerational economic-growth. It’s always been about money/class. Diversity matters, but would politicians have voted against the interests of their own progeny? I think not.

No Vulkan on macOS. Molten used for Metal translation.
Weird docking. Panels don’t disappear when empty. No visible controls. Have to use shortcuts or toolbar to split/remove panels.

Font rendering feels off.

Toolbar lists are super compressed. Needs more vertices spacing. Underlined characters for shortcut hints is absolutely awful.

Various commands create kinda-sorta pop-ups that are really weird and atypical.

I’ve only played with it for a little bit. This is all surface level stuff. Not a big deal. But RemedyBG has a better UX.
There are people who actually enjoy doing those things.
eg: I have a friend who hates this post covid trend of walmarts closing at 11 now, because he used to genuinely enjoy overnight stocking shifts while working on school during the daytime.
OMG YES! I though I was the only one. Specifically non-pro v3.2.5.5. The Versions after that are an ad ridden mess.
Oh wow, that's pretty sketchy and I had no idea. Thanks for mentioning it!
Several comments about personal note taking systems. Here's mine. :)

function note { mg +-1 "/home/user/notes/$(date "+%Y-%m-%d").txt"; }

"mg" is "Micro Emacs clone" and "+-1" opens the file at the bottom for appending, but of course it works equally fine with your choice of $EDITOR.

I like this setup because it's plaintext (or markdown if you prefer), easily sorts on filename, and easily greppable. I have a couple years of notes saved this way and it's fun to explore old notes.
> One argument I've seen on HN is that most car accident deaths are preventable by a responsible driver,

A false argument that keeps getting pushed in the US despite being false.

You are right but the solution is not to say 'Boeing is fine' but rather, the way driving is treated is fucking batshit insane crazy.
> small-scale/volume build industries i.e. web agencies, outsourced crews

Well that could explain it. I’ve only worked in companies where everyone working on the app codes with the expectation that they could be dealing with their mistakes for years.
Exactly! Weight lifting is a good simplified way of explaining it. You lift weights, your muscle breaks down and causes inflammation and feels sore, your body as a result signals to repair and rebuild itself. Over time your muscle becomes conditioned to that particular exercise and weight amount.

You will then be able to perform that exercise, at that weight easier without the same level of muscle breakdown, soreness or inflammation.

Same with running, with enough training you will be able to run that 5k at a time you would have been exhausted at months ago. Through enduring the constant repair and build cycle that inflammation flags from muscular and cardiovascular fatigue.

It is why so much emphasis is placed on what you do outside of exercise during recovery, than the effort itself.

This is all purely in the context of exercise and not other forms of inflammation which the article also covers.

Idk Ive been a keto acolyte for a long time and anyone who Ive ever known that did the diet was wildly successful on it.

I dread receiving anything by FedEx. UPS is fine. I would frequently just get stuff not delivered by FedEx and then be expected to go to a warehouse to pick it up, which via public transportation is a two/three hour round trip.
I was always surprised that a bunch of people looked at Facebook's website and said, yeah, I want their code to be the next big JS framework. Facebook has behaved for me for the past year or so, but for years prior to that, visiting their site was just an exercise in frustration for me. It was mainly because of components that remained in the gray loading state but never loaded. The messaging window used to do that for me about 50% of the time. Whenever I visited Facebook, I used to instinctively put my fingers over Ctrl-R in case I had to reload.

Also, one time, they managed to deploy code that broke form submissions under Firefox but not Chrome. I would be more understanding if it dealt with some cutting-edge features of HTML, but these are HTML forms. Mosaic had support for them in 1993.
It reminds me of an obsession I had when I was young (maybe 12 or 13) where I kept iterating on a design for a mini-sub I had hoped to build. I must have checked out books on the history of the submarine about that time and became obsessed with the simplicity of the original Turtle submarine — operated with hand screws (propellers).

Likely too I saw a homemade sub or scuba tow on the odd Popular Mechanics cover....

I had read enough to incorporate a lead ballast that could be released from inside the sub. I imagined props and motors based around those electric trolling motors you can get for a small fishing boat. I therefore incorporated a car battery into the design. Front and rear ballast tanks allowed me to control the pitch trim. I imagined a small electric automotive tire pump would suffice to force the water out of the ballast tanks.

I obsessed over a mechanism to allow each trolling motor to be gimbaled from a pair of joysticks in the sub. I built mechanical models with paper drinking straws and toilet paper rolls to test the mechanics.

I played with different seating configurations to minimize the size of the sub but keep it "operatable".

It was a weird and impossible fantasy that never had a chance of moving beyond the drawing board stage. You know, especially for a kid with a single mother who was a secretary. But perhaps there was some intellectual and creative stimulation that I was feeding off at the time that made the effort worth it.

Thinking about it now though, how obsessive I was, it might also have spoke to a boredom, isolation and maybe sadness I felt at the time. The sub might have been an escape for me.

To see someone build a sub for real is kind of cool. But it also makes clear how likely my design would have just collapsed right away at about 10 feet depth. I mean, I planned on using plywood for the hull, ha ha.
> Exercise reduces inflammation long term because exercise creates stresses on the body, which signals an inflammatory response to repair and rebuild.

I don't follow how creating inflammation reduces inflammation. Especially when the inflammation may be food or allergy related.
I doubt you'll find anything other than anecdotes, as only Amazon has the actual data in aggregate.

They'll often promise me today or tomorrow and deliver 4-20 days later in some extreme cases.
I feel like folks are hyper focused on the delivery side. That just seems super important to me. Just me, but there's like 2-3 times a year I want something fast. I bounce on and off Prime because it just doesn't matter to me.

The real problems seem much deeper to me. Amazon's warehouses, their online store, their ability to handle disputes: that much deeper integration feels like the challenge FedEx faces.
Sounds like you are describing a semantic layer. You don't need AI to achieve that, though it is fun when it works. Example of a semantic layer I made below, but there are others out there with more support behind them.

> AMD holds an arm license and uses them as part of the software tpu in the pro series processors as I understand.

AMD uses ARM for its PSP as well which is more than just a TPM.

But afaik it also matters what type of license AMD has.

AMD would be need an ARM architecture license (like Apple has). This license allows you to do whatever you want with the chip (such as adding a x86 style memory model).

The downside to the architecture license is you have clean room design the chip entirely.

You, or someone, would have to vet developers to get into the directory.

I think employers will find recruiters and agencies more useful than yet another online directory, because someone else does the work of finding and vetting candidates. The low bar to entry (just like software development) lets unqualified people get into recruiting/placement. Finding a good recruiter is like finding a good software developer.

The 10X Management agency has a model that attempts to address the difficulty businesses face finding qualified and experienced developers. You can find other agencies and recruiters who know what they're doing.

Developers with good reputations and networks of contacts will have work find them. The more experienced developers I know, and I include myself, do not have to fill out applications or look for work, it comes to them.

Disclaimer: 10X Management represents me. I do not speak for them -- my opinions, not theirs.
Yeah, this is actually a more important point than many realize. And it’s not just like they pay their drivers via 1099. There are third party companies that use fleets of their own, marked with FedEx branding to deliver packages. This is different from e.g. UPS, who afaik owns all their own fleets. It is imo more difficult to maintain consistent quality and predictable service with FedEx’s model, which I think is why their service is so bad in my area in particular.

My family has a running joke that if it’s FedEx the delivery date is like the pirate code… “more like a guideline”
It certainly helped demystify all things TTY for me.
Not only that, but X and Y registers were slightly different too. You could use one for indexing in a certain way, but not the other (it's been 30 years for me, but still the memory is hazy).

There were no 16-bit registers a la Z80 either.
