I was a union electrician for a great apprenticeship; as the article's author admits CONSTRUCTION IS DANGEROUS in different ways. Yet I resonate greatly with the "repetitious motions" lament on account of having literally turned so many screwpost connections [many goobers use basic electric drills to "torque;" not sure how/if this works well].

> Those downvoting me for sharing the literal definition of capitalism should at least have the self-respect to defend themselves.

I downvoted because it is off-topic and very obvious flamebait, as simple as that.

No one downvoted you just for sharing the dictionary definition of capitalism, you woulda gotten plenty of upvotes for that exact same comment in a thread where it was actually relevant.
Assuming you can find a working fast charger at least, seems like half of them are broken or something all the time.

Technologies we're glad are dead (2007)
I think it's fair to talk about optimisation (premature or otherwise) for anything fitting Blum's axioms. The classic ones are number of instructions executed, wall-clock time, memory usage, network requests, user interactions, calls to some slow function (e.g. the comparison function, for sorting algorithms), etc. but I think it's also applicable to fuzzier concepts.

For example, modularity could be modelled as the time/edit-distance/etc. it would take to swap-out N out of C components, where C >> N. If we're defining things centrally and passing them around via dependency-injection then it's O(N) (each component is defined once, so change N of them); if we're hard-coding references everywhere then it's O(N*C) since we'll have to check for references in all of the components, and each one needs to be checked for the N possible swaps.

On the other hand, dependency injection is less optimal than hard-coding for a metric like API size: for N components, the number of references grows as O(N^2) (since new components need to reference existing ones, and existing ones will need to reference them); so APIs using DI will have O(N^2) arguments.
I had a mate who was very funny; his wit was razor sharp and cutting. I was often at the receiving end of it, mainly because he knew I would take it as funny, nonetheless it was an external projection of his unhappiness inside. Happy ending: he met a girl, and very quickly the brutal edge of his humour disappeared. A shame, because I enjoyed it, but seeing his happiness, it's well worth it.

I often try and make people laugh, partly from a feeling of inadequacy, but partly the habit set long ago in my abusive childhood. Make the particularly unpredictable and dangerous parent laugh and you got a few minutes of safety (including physical safety). It was a strong motivator to be 'witty'.
You remember any example? I don't call API directly and usually use CLI/SDK/CDK that work a lot better than gcloud. I did see some inconsistencies between services (e.g. updating params for SQS and SNS) and that could definitely be improved. But honestly, comparing to GCP mess, AWS is ten times better.
I don't think treating dating like a job interview is a good idea unless you are interviewing them. You can either put your personality out there and be rejected or you can fake it, and then when you do out your actual self out there get rejected later down the road.

The choice is yours!
Is there an easy way to make sites like these more readable? With the wall to wall text on a 32" monitor, negligible margins, small text interspersed with giant graphs with giant captions, it's a bit hard to move past the form and focus on function.
The property value may or may not be growing at 10% a year. My state (Oregon) has a tax cap similar to California's. Taxable property values were capped at their value in (I believe) 1979 and are only allowed to increase by 3% a year. My property market value could increase 10% but my taxes will only go up 3%. During the housing crash of the 2000s, my property lost about 40% of its value. My taxes still went up 3% every year because the gap between actual value and taxable value was so large.

Depending on the structure of TX property taxes, it is certainly possible to have your tax bill increasing rapidly while property values are stagnant or even falling.
I was running a personal Jenkins instance on a cloud VM. I got an email from the provider saying my CPU had been running at 100% for a while. I logged in and found someone was using it to mine Monero.

Ask HN: Where can I find a real-time comparison of LLM chatbot performance?
I'd like to know which chatbot I should leverage for a particular task, as I assume different tools are better suited for different applications.

I've seen formal studies that have examined different dimensions of LLM chatbot performance (e.g. informational or linguistic quality, logical reasoning, creativity), and many anecdotal reports by the HN commentariat. I assume these analyses become outdated quickly, considering the rate at which the tools are evolving.

Are there entities that are evaluating LLM's and publishing the results as quickly?

I explored Brickell and Miami Beach, comparing to LA is unfair imo, that’s like comparing to “Bay Area” instead of SF.
In my experience, it correlates fairly well, with Florida being the notable exception. I have no idea why their roads are so good.
Traction control absolutely leads to a false sense of security, especially in hazardous conditions. However, steering lag is a bug, not a feature, and having your car go in the direction you point it is very important.
Yes, if you don't use dotnet and is already used to Unix tooling then it is a tough sell, but otherwise the integration with dotnet is quite good.
I think the tone of the tweet is off putting, and while the lag doesn’t seem totally unsafe, it does look a bit poor. That said, how much play is in a normal steering system, powered or otherwise?
Sarcasm is humor that attempts to invert a power dynamic while superficially being an appropriate thing to say. It can be defensive and weak.

Luckily the easy defense against sarcasm it take the statements at face value. “Oh, really? You wanted to work on Saturday? Well, great then.”

This is incorrect.

First of all, GitHub is a service built upon Git. There is no requirement that you need to use GitHub. And there are other options, what you call "hubs", such as GitLab or SourceHut.

Git as a VCS, has the feature to sync with other repositories elsewhere. These can be somewhere else on your computer, someone else's computer, or a server. GitHub happens to be one of those servers.

You may work for a large organization where you get local windows admin. Exceptions can be made if a good story can be told about compensating systemic and detective controls that sufficiently mitigate the risk.

However I promise you that someone in that organization closer to security strategy and compliance gets grief over the posture at least annually. Those people shelter you from worrying more about it.
When I see people complaining about never being able to purchase a house my response is always the same. move.

$1,100 is considered "well below market rates" for a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC? That's _nuts_ to me.

I'm paying $1,600 for a 3 bed, 2 bath 1800 sq ft house with a 2 car garage. Vaulted ceilings, my neighbor is a police officer and I'm on a corner lot across from a park. fire department is literally 3 blocks away. IOW, I pay more because of the neighborhood.

Granted, I live in a LCOL area, but that's kind of the point. If you feel you don't have the buying power, move. Hell, I know a woman who has a mortgage that she pays off of a fixed income and a bit of side work (600/month I think? in that ballpark) and she's buying more house than that.
Yeah, though I think Bay Area is similar - LA is huge and more equivalent to compare to Bay Area (SF + Oakland + Peninsula + San Jose), than just SF itself.

Also more comparable populations that way too.
I lived in Texas making six figures as a SWE. Texas was not far better tax wise. Texas does a lot to ding you in ways that aren't taxes, and buying a home that doesn't involve an hour and a half commute one way is unrealistic.
Hi chii, thanks for adding words explaining the intuitive insight:

The more statically intelligent investment is to support exploration of the less exhaustively searched path.
Bay Area, but I’m from NYC, so my standard for “bad road” is relatively high - there are a lot of potholes right now from the rain, but in general they get fixed quickly, the roads are wide and many-lanes, and generally don’t do insane things like loop back on themselves or anything like that.
I’m not sure if this is the same as pg queues but I just started using pg_notify with channels, and it’s so good.

Row update occurs as normal express api, but at the end I call pg_notify on some channel name. I pickup the message in a new thread via polling, and perform aggregate queries to a agg table. It’s like materialized views, but with no wasteful refreshes. Then I push the updates aggs back to the frontend via websockets.

You go for LoRa or NBIoT when you need the low power consumption, and especially for deep penetration. Generally, if you have a better option, you use it. LoRa and similar high latency networks can't easily run TCP due to the standard TCP timers (especially Ack timeouts).

What I would like to see is better support from the cloud providers for UDP based protocols such as MQTT-SN.
It's a mandatory buzzword for investment in 2024 since everything else has been milked to death already. I've seen companies go back and slap "AI" on things that have been out for 15 years.
I don't think it's intended to imply she did it; there's a language barrier that is probably confusing things. But "I allegedly did it but they don't know because they didn't see me do it" absolutely implies she did.

125ms is pretty bad though. In an online game that'd be borderline unacceptable lag... no local system should be THAT slow?

A single example of one inaccuracy many years ago is not evidence for (at least as far as the Guardian is concerned): "The media did not really care much about accuracy then, and its even worse now."

To say that, you would also need to know the actual accuracy rate of media over time. I don't think anyone really knows that without perhaps having done a PhD thesis on the topic.

What's more, good media publishes citations & corrections: https://www.theguardian.com/info/complaints-and-corrections

They will correct things like that when pointed out. On the other hand, honest mistakes of the wrong photo is not that uncommon. In this case, I think the resource was looking for just a stock photo. I did not read the article and immediately think, "Oh yeah, random tower in the middle of nowhere USA, this is for sure a picture of that tower". Perhaps just me..

Regardless, on wrong image, I've certainly noted that a few times - for example reading protest signs that are clearly for a different time/issue than what is being documented (EG: protests in Russia in like 2010s and the news was running images from things that happened 15 & 20 years earlier).

This is an interesting idea: Voting on the norms of society even if not strictly enforceable. I would love a referendum on tipping in my American state.

The proposed solution that at least 54% of this village have recognized is that the internet has really eroded societal bonds. The optimization of everything, coupled with the easy on-demand connection provided by phones is a big problem for society. It's like eating cake all the time, its easy and feels good in the moment but it will likely have negative societal impacts.

I'll speak for America, but I am sure it isn't unique here. The optimization of everything to short term profit & loss coupled with phones has made society pretty unpleasant.

- Grocery stores have removed handles from bags and most tellers.

- Extremely uniform big box stores are primarily all that are left

- Shopping is fully online

- Workers have been reduced as much as possible to automata in low status jobs.

- Due to the quality and quantity of data, of all goods are priced to the absolute max society can bear and wages are suppressed to the extent possible as well.

- Connection with society is primarily done through a screen and id ephemeral

I could go on. The point is that in concert, this has seriously changed our society even if any single change alone would be positive.

Phones are simply a symptom of a society that is lonely and disconnected and a biological psychology that makes adaptation to this change hard/impossible. It's not neccesarily negative, but we will see how this shapes society when gen-z and gen alpha are in their 40s.
>Just recently, in fact, several hospital unions made concessions on employee safety due to COVID crises.

I don’t think anyone’s going around insisting that unions are always perfect or always produce the most employee-favorable outcome conceivable. Unless they were actively campaigning to have the hospitals worsen working conditions more than they wanted to, making some concessions still gives a better outcome than in the absence of a union.
It’s meaningless.

> C++'s benefit comes from the fact that somebody has probably implemented the safe way in C++ already :)

You're an experienced C++ programmer, you already know what the "safe way" will be in C++. "Just don't make any mistakes". There's no possible way to benefit from multi-threading and yet use arbitrary non-thread-safe features magically without problems, the "genius" of C++ is finding a way to blame you for things you can't do anything about.
Given what it replaces, sure.

Systemd has taken over most popular Linux distributions, but Linux isn't the whole of the opensource world.

I suspect X servers will die out at some point, but you could probably just run XWayland right? I've not messed with Wayland yet, because it doesn't address my use cases (mythtv frontends which is one X program with no window manager, and running programs on freebsd/linux for display on Windows).
Not sure if this helps, but I grew up in a bad place and had some unpleasant jobs. For me, the thinking was always straightforward. Studying is free, moves me forward professionally, and can therefore keep me from falling backwards to those times. I have always had horrendous sleep problems so studying is just physically tough. But it beats the shit out of being poor or harassed by idiot bosses.

Retired now, but his has helped me for all 40+ years of my programming & business careers.
Consumers got lazy about price comparisons, businesses realized this during COVID and reacted accordingly. Prices have now hit the point where customers have noticed and are realizing they have different options: grocery stores instead of restaurants, store brand instead of name brand, etc.

End of the day, landlords aren't doing any labor for the rent they are collecting.

If you do something that drives up the value of the property - you'll get some amount of that when you go to sell the property. If your father buys properties, rehabs them, and then rents them out... Guess what? He's double-dipping. He's going to charge more for rent and he's going to be able to sell the property for more later. In one instance (selling the property), yes, he's doing labor and will reap some reward for his labor. In the other, he's not really doing any labor to keep charging more rent.

I had "small time" landlords many times. They always jacked up the rent 10-20% every year. You think they're doing that because the 1920's house I was renting was getting improved every year or they were doing anything to make it better? Nope... They just wanted more money and because no one was building more housing - they knew they could get it.

There's no particular reason not to do it, it's just that it's not in the power of a mayor, at least in France.
Fair enough; I shouldn’t have said “everyone” because that’s obviously not true, but only pedantically, for the most part. It’s not insensitive to say “everyone has a nose” and mean “except the very small percentage of people that don’t have noses due to birth defects, trauma, or genetics”.

1-3% of people have aphantasia. That’s not everyone, but it’s close.
This is an important point. I’ve found that 45x45 pixel buttons are as low as I’m comfortable putting in my Vision Pro apps, with roughly 10px of padding. The eye tracking is good, but there are certainly limits of precision. A spreadsheet has a LOT going on, and each cell has at least two clickable areas. The bottom right drag area is probably impossible to target right now without accidentally going into the next cell. Spreadsheets have good form for what they’re used for. The new input method (eye and pinch) is going to help people rethink methods of interaction in places where “that’s how we’ve always done it” has been a mainstay. Maybe spreadsheets stay the same, but new approaches to interacting with data come to the surface.
So glad to see someone else say this. NextJS 13 was (is) a complete an utter disaster.
I took on a reasonable-size project around that time and the documentation was incomplete, no library worked on it. Mystery caching and fetch-call deduplication all over the place. It was horrific. I wonder if things have improved since.

They call it human resources, but all they do is make everyone's jobs difficult. They are the worst of all. Simply the worst. Not to mention, the most arrogant and lazy.

Fck them.
I feel like you're missing two very important things:

1) A touch interface is a VASTLY different experience from a mouse / trackball gestures interface. There's a physicality there that simply isn't present when you're gesturing with a different device entirely and seeing the effects of that gesture on a disconnected screen. Touch to tap, and tap and hold have been gestures on track pads since the mid 90's. So using a touch pay with tap and hold to drag a folder around should be (by your reasoning) exactly the same as doing the same with a touch screen. And yet, controlling an iPad with a separate touch pad is a very different experience from controlling it directly from the screen.

2) Just how BAD previous touch screen devices were as far as control. Capacitive touch was a game changer here. I worked for Apple retail during the initial iPhone launch, and one of the things I had to teach ex-palm / handspring customers over and over again was to unlearn their habits formed by working around the limitations of resistive touch screens. Stop trying to tap with the tip of your finger nail, stop trying to tap just below/above/to the side of your target, put your finger down right over the key you want to press and trust the OS, etc. Of course this was jaw dropping, everything else to that point was usable, but finicky in ways that we would find incredibly annoying today.
