I hate VS Code so much for many reasons, but performance or memory usage are not among them. It starts in some seconds, never been a problem. Runs fast enough. At work I got a MacBook Pro, performance is even less of an issue, of course.

So, I'm not sure all the work done regarding performance is the most efficient way to get into the market. It's features, like their collab stuff, I'd say.

Or usability features. What I hate most about VS Code are the clunky editor navigation shortcuts. Code navigation is fine, but moving around the editor, opening files, command palette, ... if you ever have used neovim with telescope or JetBrains IDEs then VS Code feels so cumbersome.
It's not approved yet.
Let me share one thing I learned along the way.

I read a book “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” as part of my “personal MBA” mini-project.

Here’s the blurb:

Who of us can claim never to have made a mistake, missed a goal, regretted a choice, or suffered because of another's action? For those who suffer from a constant sense of regret about the past, who feel their present lives have been immutably shaped by actions they could or should or would have taken but didn't, real help is at hand. In clear, uncomplicated language, Dr. Arthur Freeman, a leading exponent of cognitive therapy, and his colleague Rose DeWolf, a skillful translator of the cognitive method, describe the techniques and provide exercises that will enable readers to actually "unblock" the past. The authors demonstrate that woulda/coulda/shoulda thinking can be unlearned and that this process can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time.

Perhaps this can help. In the end, a lot of distress comes from organizational flaws and hiring argumentative people (and lots more) but the point is that you can only control what you can control. You.

I wish I had answers like “why do you say that? Show me a better way” … and so on. Try to find a supportive environment. Work on your craft. Some say to keep a record of your successes. Acknowledge your goofs (to yourself) and work on getting better. But definitely don’t let the past haunt you. Learn from it and move forward.

Sounds like that company violated the “No Asshole Rule” No place is perfect, but your immediate team is really important. Unfortunately, going into a job, they interview you, and not the other way around.

Good Luck
Are they going to add train lines, schools and parks? Or is it just cram in more people into a space until its unbearable. I live in a Jersey City which has sprouted lots of new apartments. Lack of parks and schools are a real problem, at least we have good train service though.
Are you referring to the U3224KB? It's $2500, which seems a bit steep.

There's no need to invoke "NPCs". Some people are talented at painting, some people are talented at math, and some people are talented at bending large numbers of people to their will. It just happens that someone talented in gaining and holding power is more likely to be highly impactful and visible than someone talented in something that, well, doesn't explicitly revolve around impact and visibility.

This doesn't fix Prop 13 or rent control, which are bigger impediments to housing and taxation in Berkeley than housing.

Well, I could think of several, actually far too many more terrible body horror scenarios that will remain not communicated through my fingers applied to this BMI connected to the internet.

But, I meant that in the abstract sense of displaying a bent or filtered version of myself. Sometimes the ping-pong thoughts can't be allowed to all come out at once so my external presentation certainly fits some point in the range of my usual expressions, but may not totally accurately represent my internal state.

Actual title:

This post's title leaves the word "huge" out, which breaks the readability.

Seems to me like there will be fewer and fewer humans generating content on the internet and more and more AI. What happens then? AI starts feeding off itself and generating content based on AI-generated content in the first place? Feels like small hallucinations will get amplified over time and eventually there will be nothing real or factual on the internet any more.
I feel like a reference to this should be somewhere in the macos-cross-compiler repo.
Both art and article reek of weak AI prompting.
zig fetch fills the hash for you, or simply omitting .hash in zon and the compiler tells it for you. I'm writing backend in zig and I have zstd directly from zon as a dependency.

.dependencies = .{
.zstd = .{
.url = "git+https://github.com/facebook/zstd.git#v1.5.5",
.hash = "1220185ad79a437fd9f148d1422ff756287534c79a0712105039b4034031480e41a9",

You then refer to that with dep = b.dependency(...) and can get paths to the unpacked source with dep.path(...)
Yes, it's highly possible that it happened and I just didn't witness it. Though I had a couple friends, I wasn't very sociable, and mostly kept to myself when I wasn't eating with my friends. I was on the track team, but had no friends there either.

Some students spoke English as a second language and had trouble with it. I know because I was friends with someone like this for a short while. They could have been easy targets for bullies.

Some students were openly transgender. Maybe some people talked bad about them behind their backs and/or disbelieved them, or harassed them without me seeing it. I couldn't know without having asked them about it. I know that at least one other student knew a transgender student from middle school and wouldn't stop calling them by their old name and pronouns.

I was also one of the few who didn't use social media, besides Reddit; maybe there was cyberbullying that I missed. I feel like I'm out of touch with most people my age because of this.

One thing I’ve learned is not to put off a good deed or backing up a device or process that has no fallback.

Now, some things are too big and expensive to back up. Think home HVAC etc. So have a fallback.

Good deed? You might not have the opportunity again!

As a combination of the two above, I once (long ago) scheduled to start a weekly tape backup of a university research group’s data drive for Friday when I could have done it on Wednesday. It melted down. Things are immensely cheaper now, and you just buy a backup drive.

Doing that good deed (or smart deed) might cause some inconvenience or near-term cost. Put off things that are less magnanimous or without a crutch.

I read a book called “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” These things block progress. While the two items mentioned above aren’t all you need to do, they are steps in he right direction.

I posted the blurb from this book in the thread:

Ask HN: What happened to X.AI, the email assistant?
I just noticed that the domain redirects to grok now. Is the company still around? It had an assistant named Amy.

Does the job nicely without even half the boilerplate of aio if you use liburing.
Show HN: Lumos, a way to manage college applications with ease
hi there guys, im a freshman in university and i was absolutely frustrated by the amount of tools that my documents were spread across and how i used to switch tabs and mental contexts to get tasks done. I had a different website for planning my tasks, looking up colleges, writing essays.

This is why, over thanksgiving break, I built Lumos. Lumos is a tool that helps you manage your entire college application journey from a single tool. You can visit Lumos at https://lumos.japroz.me . I am going to build and put out more features like AI essay companion, college profile builder, admission advisor counselling and much more.

Please let me know if there is any feedback that you have!
> as long as they meet the relevant regulations.

mighty big conditional there. Florida is the first state to get approval to do so and that only happened last month.

It might break but yeah so far it has been a monopoly.

This era is very reminiscent of early social media. While the majority was hoo-rah’ing it as this great thing, prescient technologists, including on HN, were warning how bad this was going to be.

Unfortunately AGI is orders of magnitude more impactful than Web 2.0 and social media.
Ah, yes the obligatory daily "the internet was so much better back in the old days" post.

Really though, the author is right when they say: "Write here because ideas matter, not authorship." because nothing is fundamentally changing with AI or any other big bad we imagine might be coming for our individuality and identity or whatever other intangible quality you feel is being lost because of [insert technology/trend here]
Once you have your preferences settled, the number of new and upcoming works that falls into the right categories is actually quite small that could individually read the blurb and pick what's interesting. Other than that you could also just go through your local gallery and pick the interesting stuff.

The only "curation" is between the author and reader's own preference.

Beyond that I guess you can pick from authors with good reputations, specific genre enthusiast communities and friends. But awards show aren't good because the need to appeal to entire community means that what gets picked usually will appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Downtown Costco, is this Vancouver perhaps?
Down in the article is what Berkeley residents should do to get this passed:

> No council meeting has been scheduled yet but Berkeley residents should email the city council at council@cityofberkeley.info with the title “Support Missing Middle Housing.” Request that the city council should pass the Planning Commission’s proposal “as is.” Feel free to discuss your own housing woes as reasons for why it should be passed. These letters will be filed by staff into the future item and can make or break Missing Middle housing in Berkeley.
It is certainly odd that they didn't use them, especially since image maps are mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Rust proc macros and the fact you can't really static link if something uses them made rust unsuitable for me.
Why '98? Just curious. It seemed pretty young then. Most people on the internet in 98 had 28.8 or 56k modems. I feel like things were getting better until 2010-ish.

> I've no idea what downvotes you're referring to, I'm well into the black on that post.

As you should be, it's a great contribution. I was referring to the downvotes mentioned in a comment further up.

I agree that what you propose is an improvement, but it can be misunderstood to claim that it can prevent _any_ real-world breakage. There will always be aspects not covered by tests and which other people still rely on.

I've had this experience with API contract tests between systems. Despite covering a lot of details and preventing deployments that failed these tests, we would occasionally run into problems where passing changes would break stuff in production. There was always an area of uncodified assumptions, and for a case of tens of different clients, whereas public libraries can have millions. So, I believe this is also applicable to your proposed solution.

You can argue that your solution significantly shrinks this area of uncertainty while also _defining_ it, which helps when reasoning about what you can depend on - and I agree. But it does not eliminate the gap, and this is what people were pointing out.

I was just a little frustrated that the discussion even went there, because I didn't think you were even claiming what they were arguing against. That was happening because I think you left a gap by not addressing it clearly, and wanted to point it out, because people seemed to be taking past each other.
What, developers can’t be bought?

> The ancients had it right that theres different types of knowledge

People hawking these traditions usually do for consulting money, not spiritual fulfilment. I am all for non-materialism, but only as long as it's not used to exploit me. Belonging to a post-Colonial country, I know exactly where that leads.
In case someone stumbles upon this in the future, I want to preserve the original comment they replied to:

> This is a mistake. Housing restrictions are what keep breeding populations from overrunning the world. Berkeley becomes Mumbai. It will be ruined, and within a generation of breeding, housing costs will be high yet again. So there is no permanent fix, only the uglification of beautiful places, and the environmental harm of more humans overrunning the Earth. Building more housing is like building more highways. It increases demand.
maybe because some of them grew from a family business, but somehow managed to keep a similar ownership structure.
I’m curious if you’re getting killed by the new Section 174 changes?

In 2022 you spent what looks like at least $150,000 in what’s now classified as Research and Development. So this means you’d have a tax burden of around $30k even though you only made $10k in profit.
I'm not fine with that either, I think it's essential to rectify the bullying by protecting countries & organizations like the one behind the Hugo Awards from being bullied.

But that is different from rectifying the bully, which I'm sure you already know is extremely costly and difficult.
I found this interesting because, while I appreciate the arguments being made, I can't say I have explicitly seen this play out IRL. But maybe I have limited information. Anybody else seeing this happen?
Nothing a treaty won't solve. Access to West Berlin through the Iron Curtain was a thing.

Then why do you want density? Do you want other people to live in bunk beds in 40 years?
The key is to remember your job as a manager is to unblock your ICs and make sure they are working on stuff that matches their skills. It is not to:
- Overrule them on technical decisions
- Create extra processes to follow because you are insecure

Being a good manager is all about doing the minimum. That’s why you see comments earlier in this thread about leaving your team for a few weeks.
I've never, ever used GPT. Can it really match a rhyme scheme?
Nowhere in the video does he say “we’re sticking with Russia”.

He has crafted every word with precision “strategic autonomy and non-alignment, we stand for peace”

That is what good foreign policy looks like.
> Well, chemotherapy destroys/reboots the immune system

That's a pretty gross oversimplification. Chemotherapy isn't one thing, it's a whole range of cocktails of drugs given in different combinations and doses for different specific cancers (even different sub-types of cancers).

They do generally weaken it, but most chemo doesn't "destroy" the immune system at all.
New housing has nothing to do with it. The general decline of the rent prices SFBA caused that: https://www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/article/sf-rent-price...

Yep, whoever gets hold of those records can cross-reference logs from the same time to narrow down or even outright identify Signal chat participants.
Excellent news! More handouts for developers, targeting already-residential neighborhoods instead of mandating the redevelopment of blighted formerly-industrial and -commercial areas and dying malls with boarded-up Macy's and Fry's.

And in a drought- and heat-stricken state, let's pave over what little soil remains, to prevent groundwater percolation and exacerbate urban "heat islands."

This article regurgitates all the usual bullshit with no citations, such as "The ensuing housing shortage caused mass homelessness." What a crock. That doesn't even make sense.
LOL, rents have declined by around 20% in SF from the peak in 2019: https://www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/article/sf-rent-price...

During the same time, Austin rents skyrocketed: https://www.kut.org/austin/2023-05-09/after-two-years-of-inc...

Again, proving my prediction: more construction equals higher prices.
You can backup Signal photos the same way you can backup other apps’ photos, e.g Google Photos, Immich, etc.

Chat history I don’t know anyone that cares about it so maybe your expectations are just different there.
Press 1 million discs, sell 500k discs. Price of those 500k unsold discs is several million dollars. Pressing discs is a huge risk. Don't press enough and you lose sales. Press too many and you lose money. Online has no such issues.
There’s many hot takes like this, most of which ignore the bottlenecks in the supply chain.
My thought as well. My manager loves it when I cut him out of the decision making process. It means less work for him and the whole point of having senior ICs is to let them take on those responsibilities.
exactly - last year I had to learn Go and Scala for a job, and it was a nice experience learning something new. 2 languages with advantages and disadvantages, and good support from VSCode and IntelliJ. This year, I had to learn Ruby, and found it to be a mess, with poor support from VSCode and RubyMine. Apparently you can't know what methods exist on a class until runtime, so the IDEs don't can't tell you much about your code.

Just like you shouldn't be so open-minded that your brain falls out, a language shouldn't be so dynamic that you can't tell anything about a line of code until you're in the middle of executing it. Maybe it's great for cranking out a CRUD web app in a weekend, but not so great for a product that's had 300 developers writing code for 10 years.
Now I know why Android is written in Java - they are a bunch of comedians! Everything is a joke to them!

In all seriousness, career changes are very hard. I hope the best for him.
Yes, but even the wildly creative ones sound way over the top, and detectable as AI too
Yes but we are makers of technology, not organizers of awards, and the question was: (paraphrasing) what can we do about it?

Resistance needs to come from the people, or not. All we can do from afar is give them capabilities they can download and hope that it helps. We might want those capabilities too (I do).

I believe Tor was created due to similar logic.

Yeah interesting. My D graduated in 2019. She ruled out grad school at the time of graduation as she was pretty burned out (even turned down a scholarship from her college that would have covered her full masters program). I hope your daughter finds a company she enjoys working for and doing something she enjoys! (It would be weird if they went to the same school; my D went to RPI.)

As a Chinese, sometimes I don't know how censorship works. commonly literature related to the Cultural Revolution is heavily censored, but sci-fi books like Three Body, with this history, are prevalent in China today.
I'll see you in court. The law will change.

When you have the ability to even debate the complexities of film photography versus digital and the dual nature this medium falls under versus digital which I'll remind you again is under physical, and IP -- try again. But you can only argue under the merits of what you know and you've shown it to be very little.

I do appreciate your efforts but you've done nothing but double down on your ignorance on the matter.

If you can argue it's ok to protect computational lithography, you can protect me doing the exact same thing in the darkroom. But you don't know what you don't know. I'll leave it here, there's no ground to be made, even if you try to conflate a basic issue with paragraphs more.

The author is not right about that. Authorship is not negated when someone plagiarizes you. Your stuff is still there. People who read you will still read you.

And if ideas matter, those ideas will be distorted anyway by the same processes he cites.

Same here. I have 2 Raspberry 3 models. They've been running PiHole for ad blocking since 2019. Later I started using them for local DNS and also tailscale nodes. There have been times when I haven't rebooted them for several months. Longest being about 11 months uptime. They've been rock solid. Although It does help if you have them plugged into a UPS.
