I’m still trying to understand if the lack of the PutIfAbsent API in S3 (in other words, the ability to put an item only if no other item is present) is a consequence of the strong consistency they offer in terms of Read after Write. Is this trade-off a corollary of the Cap theorem?

That PutIfAbsent Api would solve so many problems for metadata formats used in the BigData field like Delta or Iceberg!
The kid tax is at 50k, if you have student loans and 2 kids the marginal tax at 50-60k is 69%, then back to 42% for 60-100, then upto 62% 100-125, then 40% upto 150, then 45% above that.

I'd have thought that here of all places people would be able to differentiate between words and actions (though we can go to the founding document of Likud and statements by various politicians next, if you like).

They've been the defacto government in a large part of Yemen for a number of years, yet they haven't attacked shipping till now.

When they started they were operating using cruiser rules, they escalated to using missiles without attempting to board/warn first only after the US Navy turned up. They have largely been selective with their choice of targets, which is why the Chinese are very reluctant to get involved.

There's a good analysis of their current position in the latest episode of the Foreign Policy podcast Ones and Tooze ("The War on Global Shipping").

One kind does VC hype waves followed by bankruptcy and the other kind allows one of the smallest countries in the world to be second top exporter. So there's some difference.

Thank you for recommending this book. Started to read, seems like very different from other productivity books and useful.
I feel like CI to master with pull/merge requests in very short lived feature branches works really well, even better than when everyone tried to merge their in progress work to master. Though, both are certainly better than when you’d work on a release branch for 3 months, try to keep it in sync with master and a few hotfix branches, and then merge it all at once at the end. That was a total nightmare, and was actually really common.
It's useful for several other things. Automatic logging is one. Another: I compute the commands run most often (candidates for automation).

> These days "so old it's no longer valid" is barely a year

I don't think this is true (generally). At my work, we use old boring technology for most things (as we should). I don't see how it could be true enough to warrant not keeping a command line log.
"Normal" high power portable devices in Europe are 2-3kW electric heaters (generally an expensive way to heat a house, but OK if you're heating a single room) and older and less efficient vacuum cleaners (2kW).

Maybe also a very high spec gaming PC, which here could run (monitors and all) from a single outlet. Would tripping the breaker have been a concern at a 2000s LAN party in the USA? I have no idea.

In some countries it's common to have a 400V (3 phase) socket in the garage. Excellent for car charging, but that is also OK from 230V. That is probably by far the biggest current benefit of 230V everywhere. Charge the car at a decent speed at that holiday cottage in the mountains.

Yes. Hence the word 'joke' I used. For short running programs, it's fine. The longer running programs you can often find a few places where 95% of the leaks happen and easily 'free' those leaving the last 5% to leak slowly. It depends. Just remember it's a valid solution sometimes.
If that was the case, they would not target Brno.
> For one thing, workers can not easily hop from area of expertise to area of expertise like capital can

Uh, last I checked, capital is not capable of hopping from area of expertise to area of expertise. A GPU cannot decide to become a burger flipping robot (much to the dismay of some crypto investors).
In my home state of Victoria Australia the government had a program to give out these powerpal[1] units for free that could measure your usage in realtime using the flashing led on our smart meters, we also require all energy grid operators (the people who own the poles and wires) to have an energy portal where users can get near realtime data to the nearest 30mins, soon to be 5 with some new legislation.

The former most people have no idea about but the powerpal has been a smashing success for consumers to understand what is using energy.

There's a moral difference and an international law difference between attacking valid military targets and killing civilians in the process and when your stated goal is attacking uninvolved civilian targets (international shipping passing by). Also, GP saying 'bullying' seemed to me detached from the facts of what was going on.

About being white, as far as I know I am not considered white both in the 19th century scientific racism sense and even in its modern extension of dividing the American population by the extension of that original theory.

But if I am considered white, do you think it undermines my arguments?
The programmer that I bought was already wired up for 24 series and 25 series chips, so I assume the pinout matches whatever is in that respective datasheet.

The 25Q32BVSIG operates on 3.3V, so this particular programmer was compatible by default, but for 1.8V one would have to watch out indeed.
Are you Gavin Belson defending Google on HN? You seem to be defending Google so much that you might be blindsided about how unpopular and irrelevant it’s becoming.

Just look here regarding the supposed popularity of Google, and supposedly only worldclass developers in small circles noticed:

https://9gag.com/gag/a04BOgq

Yes, 9Gag is a decent source of what random kiddos around the world think. Look at the comments. Google’s loss of monopoly will be slow at the beginning, then very sudden.

And when a company collapses, suddenly the 50-year readiness of its architecture doesn’t matter as much as immediate features, such as being built by geeks, for geeks.
1. Cartels have strong hierarchies, imposed by violence, a system which would be roundly opposed by most anarchists.

2. But more importantly, most anarchists are not just against hierarchies. They are positively for society or the group to have features likes mutual aid, worker rights, democratic or consensus based decision making, etc. All of these are missing from cartels.
I believe that you are super wrong and Europeans were always present in Singapore in large numbers, even if they do not show up in citizenship numbers.

They did before WWII and they certainly do now.

Whereas these 20% non-Chinese cannot turn a Chinese culture country to something else, hence the South Korean / Taiwanese / Hong Kong trajectory.
What’s actually different in the 2024 update?
I think that is kind of the point. It's putting the 'accidents happen' aspect of C into an adversarial environment, and it turns out in a language it's easy to write bugs in it's really easy to hide deliberate bugs.

How do you pronounce “taipy”
This is neat, thanks. Although while I appreciate that I left a comment on a post about Spotify, I don't maintain a music collection as I find it too difficult to remember what I like. I generally just listen to some playlists on youtube. I have bought music whenever I found an author I liked a lot though.
Strange, history is not used. Which browser are you using ?
The author mentioned this objection and suggested that since the cost of keeping a long history is so low, there’s really no reason not to. Additionally, you may not know a command will be useful in the future at the time you execute it.

I suppose everyone’s workflows are different though. I keep a long history but rarely use it.
Yet another reason to blacklist *.apple.com , across the entire network.

Just yesterday a fellow HN user was giving me a hard time about manually choosing to install Apple updates. OP's forced update is exactly why I block Apple hosts, entirely.

I downloaded Marta and it looks and feels absolutely amazing.

But then I noticed that it is not open source, the sole developer has been on a break for at least a year, and the issue tracker mentions two bugs that may lead to data loss.

So I uninstalled it. I will look elsewhere for now.
yeah. and soon anyone that asks for "remote work" will be called a far-right extremist, anti-vaxxer and probably even a n*zi for refusing to go to work.

week after week we get bullshit articles from fortune or bloomberg about how people that go to work are more productive, yadda, yadda, yadda.

for people that have creative jobs and that benefit from interactions with others, sure, it's true.

but most people in companies are tasked with a job where they work alone on it, concentrated on what they're doing, and the less noise, interruptions, the higher the productivity.

and staying at home you avoid all the hours spent going to, and back, from work. people are less stressed, less tired, and this also makes them work better.

all those articles. all those moronic and stupid CEOs talk about remote work from their ass. they are barely competent at their current job, they don't know what they're talking about.

what they say about remote work is as stupid as what they say about open spaces.

the best workers will get to the companies that offer them the best work conditions. keep that "get back to work or else" shit and all the best workers will leave.

years later, those best workers will destroy your companies, because they work for the companies that will grab your sales and market.
If the shell is unaware that the file is append only, does it result in appending not just the commands run from this session but undesirably also ends up appending a full copy of a lot of the previous history?
Yes. Which is why I’m guessing that at least certain elements of this change won’t be rolled back.
It is quite common in highly capitalist societies, workers should be thankful they get a couple of pennies if at all.

They should learn to be hard workers, saving all the penies they can, never be sick, and some day if they don't die before it, living the dream of being their own boss.
If fixing the pay makes other complaints disappear, were they ever a primary factor?

i don't think this is the right question.

of course, if i get paid more, i am willing to put up with worse work conditions. (to a degree). so the mere fact that pay makes the problem go away is not an indicator that this was not a real problem.

more pay lets me compensate the problem otherwise. for example it may mean that me or my partner can reduce work hours instead of working from home.
His views, biased as they may be, match the scientific consensus and are backed up by decades of research. Many of his Youtube videos are just him going over studies and meta analyses, and explaining the findings in layman's terms. I have read Russell Barkley's book, "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD" where he encourages you to not just trust his words but try to keep up with latest research and discuss things with a professional. I have recently started reading "Driven to Distraction" by the expert you mention, Ed Hallowell, and the content is very similar to Barkley's, it doesn't sound like their views on the disorder are different.

In fact, here's a quote from Chapter 1 of Hallowell's book:

>In the decades since that time, research has ballooned. Probably the
most up-to-date and definitive account of the history and current
state of the field is to be found in a book written by one of the great
researchers in the area, Russell Barkley; currently in its third edition,
his book is entitled, simply, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Maybe their tone is slightly different, but their descriptions of what ADHD is (not a society problem) and the solution they offer (lifestyle changes and medication) are pretty much the same.
Maybe it's because Britain introduced cheap electricity overnight in the 1970s (before I was born), but I've never thought of using the washing machine overnight as unsafe. The dishwasher too.

Trading electricity between Europe gives us lower prices overall, and a more stable and efficient grid.

I think it depends on what you want to be productive _in_

If you’re a project manager like me, lists are probably a good option.

If you’re an artist like a painter… I’d imagine very different ways to be productive.

When I write code I like to explore problems and features through developing and testing things, no need for lists until I run into enough bugs or ideas I want to pursue that I need to write them down.
It kills me that in 2024 people keep hating framworks, while reinventing them badly.
Yes, definitely. The FreePascal compiler can generate code for about any architecture around and it is well capable of cross-compiling, see e.g. https://wiki.freepascal.org/Cross_compiling. There are also development tools available on different platforms, and even an extensive user interface framework (see https://www.lazarus-ide.org/).

Every time I see people doing something with Markdown, I wish they just replace it with support for Djot[0] instead. It is a Markdown alternative by the creator of Pandoc and CommonMark that fixes all of the most egregious mistakes, while being legible and visually pleasant as-is. It is also syntactically similar to Markdown, which should ease adoption.

This is a great answer which demonstrates the diversity on HN so well. We don’t all have corporate jobs, and we don’t all need lists.
My comment implies that people who have been indoctrinated into a culture of hatred towards the West deserve no sympathy from the West. Heck, they receive none from their Arab Sunni neighbours, hence have to go to Iran for aid.

One could argue that the Shia Houthis are fighting for their independence, but there's a clear distinction between an independence war and a war calling for destroying the West. That is also a distinction between the Hamas and Fatah factions in Palestine.
there is a newcomer into the terminal file managers arena that looks like it's going to be what I was looking for https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi (sort of ranger/vifm written in rust, lots of momentum)
.NET is also quite comparable.

Hence when I am not using one, I am doing the other, sometimes with a bit of C++ underneath, unless forced to use another programming stack due to external decisions.

It has worked quite alright for almost 30 years now.
I've written a few small CL web applications( with about 100 users active a day), along with a few terminal applications (with only ~10 users). Other languages I know is C , Erlang, Elixir and a bit of python. This will end up sounding a bit evangelical but so be it.

I feel that the lisp code was easier to write and reason about, the being able to hot reload code from the repl significantly decreased the time to completion. I also 'connect' to a networked repl when sentry reports an unhandled error to figure out what has gone wrong.

You might be tempted to believe that CL repl is "similar enough" to python's repl, however this is NOT the case. Being able to redefine functions, variables and macros while working on the code (without a restart) allows you to deal with errors.

The syntax is a 'no brainer', Extreme consistency in function calls means that you don't need to think about it. Other languages which SOMETIMES use infix, sometimes require brackets, that is just crazy.

Lisp libraries have less churn than 'modern languages', some libraries have not been touched for some time, unlike python/ruby/js. The code does not seem to rot and old lisp code runs on modern implementations.

I work in emacs, lem, I know people who use vscode and alive, and vim. There is no 'hard' requirement to use emacs, you will get by as long as you have 'emacs like' repl integration.

All in all, I do not regret working in lisp. It doesn't have the cult of the other languages and I'm fine with that.

I agree, especially if the focus is not on the command itself but the date. Atuin has a CLI switch for filtering command history by date, but I don't see any support in the ctrl-r UI eg. with an operator like "before:" or similar.

Same. i can't wait until i get out of the apple dev ecosystem. And i've been in it since the iphone 3gs.

The amount of opaque , undocumented, disfonctionning proprietary garbage one has to put up with is just depressing.
I mean continuous in the calculus sense, as in it doesn't have discontinuities, not as in continuous VS discrete.

> Given that physics seems to be discrete at the low level, this suggests to me they don't, but I don't know enough to be sure.

This is a misunderstanding of quantum mechanics. Only certain specific quantities come in discrete quanta (spin, charge, certain energy levels, etc). Other physical quantities are very much continuous - notably time and space. In fact, much of the mathematics of QM is not discretizable, it won't work if you try to make time or space discrete.
Rarely mentioned context whenever this declassification make the rounds: this was pre MAD. Before reliable ICBMs or triad. In 50s, Only US had large bomber based atomic stockpile. Hence planners could go wild and seriously concievable nuke all communist assets and expect minimal retaliatory losses, including non nuclear states at the time like PRC for shits and giggles.

Disclaimer: This is just an opinion and I'm not expert in Russian affairs in any way

I assume that Russians know but choose to ignore it. Russian frontiers are simply too big to became closed to external info forever. There are a million ways to sneak terabytes of videos among the import containers. Just a pigeon carrier with a SD or micro SD card would pass the blockage.

But it doesn't matter. Showing the carnage and the lies of the government of the last two years will not move a hair. IMAO, Russians are in an archetypal abusive relationship with Putin. In this cases, the abused lives in denial, too afraid to break the bubble. As long as there is a tiny chance that the grinder-meat will stop before they reach top of the list, will obey and remain quiet as a flock of sheep. They will choose to please their abuser hoping to remain low in the punish list.

Most of the 302.000 Russians killed in this war either never see it coming, or were too paralyzed to make a move and put themselves out of the frying pan (And videos in Avdiivka for example are crystal clear showing that is exactly that: a chain of frozen blue hamburgers running towards a giant frying pan).

Unfortunately a lot more will die this year, so the army remains distracted dying, far from turning their focus towards Kremlin. Unless they will break the spell, the eventual disintegration of Russia in smaller states vassals of China seems more and more probable each day.

I've been using Marta on the Mac (https://marta.sh) and I really enjoy having a dual-pane file manager with an integrated terminal where navigating the folder hierarchy is synchronised in both directions.

Marta doesn't seem to be actively developed anymore, so if anyone know of a good alternative I am all ears. fman (https:/fman.io) looks nice, but I don't think it has terminal integration.
I might be off base since I've been an electronics hobbyist (plus one time I got snookered into doing it for a job) for 30 years, but I feel like there's isn't that much electronics-specific theory behind designing larger projects (outside of the general skills needed for any kind of engineering). I feel like hooking together large software systems is much more complex, whereas with electronics once you learn the principles and skills for single-purpose circuits it's not that hard to figure out how to make something that solves multiple problems.

At the end of the day, it's all connected with wires, and every part large and small has to be designed with the hard rules of electricity and electromagnetism in mind. There's an IC for everything these days, so you get a lot of modularity for free.

You do need to have a good mind for how to break down complex problems, and how to determine a project's actual needs, but that's not necessarily something you'd put in an electronics book. A lot of the more complex things about larger projects also tend to be adjacent to EE proper (things like RF, optics, mechanical engineering, networking, etc.)

One thing I do recommend for an on-the-ground view of a large high-tech engineering project are the On The Metal[0] and Oxide and Friends[1] podcasts, some of which go into the nitty-gritty of the electronics/hardware design for their entirely custom server rack, networking gear, and "Cloud Computer" (and some of which address software or general tech topics--each episode has notes/synopsis so you can focus on the electronics and hardware ones if you want).
