> The process of typing pwd, and copying the location into emacs (similar applies to Neovim) already is too much friction, that it's easier to just open the barebones Vim on the remote.

Vim has had the ability to open files remotely over ssh, sftp, etc. for a long time using the built-in plugin netwr [1].

Neovim takes it to another level [2]:

Nvim's RPC functionality allows clients to programmatically control Nvim.
Nvim itself takes command-line arguments that cause it to become a client to
another Nvim running as a server. These arguments match those provided by
Vim's clientserver option.

Thank you for the explanation.

I agree that if one isn't going to enhance C, one is going to have to resort to these tools.

C gets new features now and then. Why not add something incredibly useful, like the slice proposal? Instead, C23 got enhanced with the crazy Unicode identifiers. Richard Cattermole has been adding them to D's C support, requiring 6000 lines of code!!

The entire C parser is 6000 lines of code:

I think that eye tracking perhaps could be used to enhance gesture-based input methods though. It could provide a hint at which object a gesture is directed at in cases where that would be ambiguous.

I have tried eye tracking as primary input method some years ago in another setting, and I very much did not like the experience.

How did you know it sends windows hooks? Was it some sort of binary serialization?
I'd argue that it's not so much a difference of opinion than it is just a reasoning error given the question as stated. That's sort of the whole point of this post-- this is a case where "doing the math" in the expected way gives the wrong answer, because the state of the system is cast in stone (in terms of the ratio of red/green balls in the urn) when you first start out, so it's all about leveraging the information you get from your first choice. I think this sort of reasoning is actually surprisingly useful and widely applicable in everyday life, like in investing or diagnosing the likely cause of a software bug from incomplete information.

I use xlog().

My xlog() has the form xlog(<filter>,<format string>, <arguments ...>)

Instead of printing every time, the filter only allows printing in certain circumstances, 16 different sets of circumstances. The format string and argument list, are just the same as the printf() format string and argument list.

The other difference is that the output of xlog() goes to a log-file, not the screen. This allows long and careful inspection of the output, as well as allowing use of grep and other utilities to aid in the quest for bugs.

Think of it as a super-duper printf(). <grin>

"cash pile" is somewhat misleading.

When an LP "invests" $100M in a VC fund, said LP only sends a small fraction of that $100M at signing. The LP keeps the remainder until the fund does a capital call. Even then, that remainder isn't all sent at once. Funds do several capital calls during the investment phase.

Note that management fees are WRT the paid-in capital, so VCs do have an incentive to get money invested.

There must be strong demand for products that are actually good and healthy for those who use them, products that don't systematically make their customers ill in order to further enrich a few billionaires.

Ignore for a moment how you might monetize it to make yourself a billionaire. Instead, imagine what would be most useful, most healthy, most beneficial for the customer. Then build that.

The result probably won't make you a billionaire, but you could live pretty well. And the world would be better for it.

Birth control + abortion + IVF are what makes fertility rates a choice for those with the wealth + health to choose them, but like you (I think) I wouldn't actually call the existence of the choice the root cause of declining fertility. Instead, the lack of choice covered up the fact that many people would not choose to have children in our society, which is the root cause of falling fertility rates and a failure of our society. As well, there is structural bias against the choice to have children, because birth control is extremely cheap & accessible compared to IVF - if we imagined a population overall neutral on having children, the higher availability of birth control compared to fertility increasing treatments would bias it towards less children anyway, the same way that a tax on cigarettes leads to less people smoking.

Why don't people choose to have children? Part of it is cultural, aggressively anti-child beliefs. A big part of it in my generation is depression about the future - many people feel the future is hopeless because the government is not doing enough about climate change and we seem to be getting closer and closer to a large war. Most of my friends would express that sentiment when asked why they don't want children. A big part of it is financial & health related - a lot of people don't feel comfortable having children unless they are in perfect health & quite wealthy, because of proto-eugenicist ideas that are just accepted as part of our culture. Some of this is individually rational choices: if no one will provide you with appropriate financial & medical support for the full-time, critical-to-society job of raising children, some people accurately believe their standard of living will drop dramatically if they have a(nother) child.

All of these issues can be solved. The government can act on climate change and de-escalate tensions rather than preparing for war in order to let people have hope for the future again. The government can make IVF and other fertility increasing treatments free to the end user and otherwise as accessible as possible to lower the barrier to entry as much as possible. The government can choose to compensate people for the critical-to-society job of making & raising children, ensuring that having children is not a financial burden compared to not having children, & structure healthcare + educational outcomes such that people do not feel they and their children's lives will be worse after having a child, or at least that that isn't a true statement in terms of personal standards of living.

Western governments choose not to do these things because they don't need to, because they can rely on other countries having widespread lack of choice + poverty & instability to push young people to emigrate to the West & keep Western demographics very healthy. This solution works (at the expense of poorer countries), and while it can't last forever it can last for a very long time from our perspective. Eventually though, countries will need to solve the fundamental problem or accept widespread decreases in wealth & standards of living as population decreases.

And that is not the first step. The first step is to have a curious thought, to seize on it, to rush out to test it. And only then, maybe, you do a lit review, do it more formally, and write it up.

(it was incredible, but could have been awful - no way to know without trying it). I suppose I should review lit and write it up ...
What I did for work was, getting a Mac Mini and set up multiple self hosted runners in Tmux (very hackish, I know).

Under the Third Party Doctrine, they aren't searching and seizing your property in this case, as your data is no longer your property since you gave it to that third party already.

If you have a child in public education, you are forced to use third party tools to communicate, acquire class photos, enroll in sports, etc.

Nothing with data collection is "voluntary". To exist in our society there are so many "private institutions" that essentially wield governmental power.

It will absolutely be our undoing as a country that we cannot see the forest from the trees.
So where are the mind particles? You know, physics and chemistry are quite solid fields. They can explain why cars work almost all the way down, including why only certain materials work for the engine block to why the fuel burns so energetically. If mind is a fundamental property of the universe it seems odd that we haven't been able to study it to the same level of effectiveness, and that it doesn't seem to appear anywhere in either physics or chemistry. There is no psychon, it would seem.

It also seems odd that a mind independent of a brain has never been observed. If minds are fundamental to the universe it's something that would have to happen. At the very least when a person dies their mind should be a physical process that's still detectable and goes on independent of the body, because it's fundamental to the universe and not reducible to interactions between ordinary matter particles; that's what it means for something to be fundamental or inherent. For all the world it seems as if a mind without a brain makes as much sense as a car without matter.

I learned just last week that forged cashier's checks are a risk, which you can get burned by even if your bank makes the mistake. Forged Cashier's checks! Insane. The whole purpose of those is to ensure the money exists before issuing.
The weird bit is when doing it yourself turns out to be more of a hassle and more expensive than paying someone else to do it. Around 15 years ago I decided to learn how to change my own oil. Even after excluding the fixed costs (I bought little ramp things to drive the front of the car up on while I worked underneath, and a container to drain the old oil into), I was surprised at the per-change costs: the cost of the oil itself (and the new filter), as well as the cost to properly dispose of the old oil. Ended up being more expensive than just taking the car to Jiffy Lube and leaving it with them for an hour or so.

That was the first and last time I ever changed my own oil.
I was just starting to build my interactive resume ai when I saw anyeung's original post about his product here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38245665

Thanks for linking the spec. It has been a living document for a long time. I discovered that the implementation had made it into the SDK's master branch. Since it's very early stage and lacking documentation, I made this repo which demonstrates creating a macro that implements some of the most popular codegen functionality Flutter developers use.
i've seen lots of devs using it for their personal blogs, i guess because it's cheap. personally, im excited to buy an .lol tonight!

I have tried to love TRAMP, but I can't figure out how to get eglot to work properly. I use it for C++ in a large codebase, so eglot is mandatory.

The other thing is that I like to close my laptop, reopen it the next day, and have access to the same remote buffers. (Maybe this is possible with TRAMP.)

Ultimately I just use emacs in tmux over ssh, with CLICOLOR defined appropriately, and this gets me 95% of what I want.

I wish I could get rid of those last <50ms of keypress latency. And variable-sized fonts for eglot inlay type annotations. They are quite distracting when they're the same size as the code.
Change it to drawing from a normal distribution... the answer will change dramatically and get very close to what one would likely consider "common sense", ie that it remains close to 50/50. I think binomial gets it to 50/50.

Humans aren't wired for uniform distribution. 100 reds seems crazy unlikely compared to 50/50, yet this trick question makes those equally likely.

Unfortunately, that sounds like the spaces are close to being properly priced in the market?

Getting more utilization would require the price come down, and the price decrease may not increase the overall revenue immediately.

You would need cheaper nearby parking in order to force the price down. If there is no cheaper parking nearby, then the market is at the clearing price.

As the article describes, it may be convenient for you, but for many people it's inconvenient and costly to cash a check.

Also, saying that those people messed up in their financial management is sort of blaming their poverty on them, while we can't know (in general) whether that's their fault or not.
This. There are a billion SBCs on the market and most of them are irrelevant because you're stuck with some janky image from an out-of-date kernel that probably even the original company can't recreate from source. Hobbyists who enjoy tinkering with them for a few months after they buy them might not mind, but it's not gonna work for the big buyers and it's not great for educational purposes either.
Across Appalachia (where I grew up and now live again) checks are now exceptionally rare, which likely means they're increasingly rare everywhere in the US. Appalachia is one of the poorest places in the US and nearly all stores utilize tap to pay (either tap by card or tap by phone), checks are rare, cash is increasingly rare.

You see a lot of people outside of the US try to talk about the US while having zero first-hand experience or real knowledge of it. It's very common behavior on HN and it's very common behavior on Reddit. They just repeat what someone else said as though it were automatically true.

I should rephrase: introduced to Montana. When there were no wolves in Montana, there was no waiting disease in the local deer, moose, and elk population; at least not enough to matter. Now many hunters wont touch meat with their bare skin until it has been tested.

It's definitely a poorly worded question. "More likely" is ill-defined. More likely than what? Than the last draw? Than drawing the other color just on this pick?

Debuggers are nice for development but we also need to be able to analyse field issues. On-disk log files are usually too expensive so we mostly write to raw binary in-memory trace tables, which will wrap, but hopefully will have enough history to figure out what went wrong, and will be included in a core dump.
Local Montana hunter - I'm a big fan of wolves. They help stop wasting disease by killing and eating sick animals, preventing them from spreading it. They also reduce elk herd sizes that helps prevent overcrowding of water sources and further disease.

Most hunters that complain about wolves are uninformed and/or bad hunters.

EDIT: Or they're hunting private land and are upset they now have competition that might chase the elk herd off.

It's as ill posed as the Monty Hall problem. The issue is in what it means for the first ball to picked randomly.

Would the question be valid if the first ball was green? If not, then it's equivalent to the standard answer to the Monty Hall problem. Analyze it as if the first ball was not picked randomly (i.e. Monty intentionally picked the wrong door).

With respect, that is the complete opposite of science! The only difference, the only barrier, between you and a 'scientist' is that someone else took that step to do it themselves. Tomorrow you could be a scientist - next time you have an idea!

You don't have to publish in Nature to be a scientist. Really, I mean that in the best way. I am a scientist every day. It's powerful, it's joyful, it's curious and exploratory (very important parts of your brain to work out, per research by professional scientists), it's extraordinarily practical: Science, by me, has reduced my energy consumption and bill by around (very roughly) 70%.

I have a .com and .dev myself. I used to have a .io as well, but I made the decision to avoid ccTLDs.

The only issues I've seen from .dev is:

- It's owned by Google (opinions differ). Google owns a lot more TLDs than I thought...[0].

- Like .app, it requires TLS for web hosting (good for production, annoying for local work).

- Not all services that host DNS support it. For example, Cloudflare's registrar[1] didn't support .dev until August '23.

I don't believe the deprecation of Google Domains has any impact on the Google Registry side of things, but I could be wrong. I transferred my domain out of GD once my preferred registrar supported it.
