Java-like generated docs can be great or terrible. (I remember to old AWT in Java which had an invalidate() method which was documented to “invalidate the component” which did not at all tell you when you were supposed to use it. Today those docs do explain that.

Do you have a source backing that up?

Aside from the local tax collector, which insists on snailmailing me a copy of all correspondence even though they also sent everything to me digitally, I can't even remember the last time I received any documents on paper, and I'm in the EU.
Procrastination may be a symptom of a lot of things - anxiety, ADHD, etc. Nobody on HN is going to be able to diagnose you, though - you should probably talk to someone who can actually diagnose you and possibly prescribe treatment if your experiences with procrastination are having a negative impact on your life.

Do you procrastinate about everything? Specific things? If you're just procrastinating about specific things there might be reasons that won't be solved by videos or whatnot. e.g. - like, do you turn things in last-minute at work because you get a lot of negative feedback? People develop defense strategies to avoid or at least defer painful experiences.

Or you could be suffering from a strong case of "I find zero meaning in doing these things." Coping strategies and medications are unlikely to help here.

If you really suspect that you have ADHD, depression, anxiety or something else - talk to a professional. (Mental health professional, not just any professional...) If you do have one (or more) of those things, you probably have problems aside from procrastination that may be helped by getting treatment.
I generally agree and understand. The reasoning is fine. But comments like this make me somewhere between sad and contemptuous towards the field. This neutral explanation supports the baseline that no professional can vocalize anywhere and retain their face. I'm talking youtube focus & arrows issues here, not rocket science. Container alignment issues [1], scrolling issues [2], cosmic levels of bloat [$subj], you name it. Absolutely trivial things you can't screw up if you're at all hireable. It's not "unoptimized", it's distilled personal/group incompetence of those who ought to be the best. That I cannot respect.

The title here is pretty confusing.
Because youtube DOES charge them via adsense, and TOS can change at any moment.

Eventually, that TOS can change and they can delist old content, reneg on ad terms, force new editing/censoring on old videos etc. All within their right as platform holder.

Sort of like saying "I haven't been in an accident. Why would I need insurance?"
I suppose that's where things like tip jars work quite well. To reward useful but otherwise niche content.
But the experience is not smooth as it can get if you're running a bit older HW. Gmail and Slack are notorious for bad performance even when the content displayed is rather simple plain text. As a user I don't really get anything in return when developers decide to use complex JS solutions for simple use cases.
So many problems could be mitigated if we limited the size of companies.

These companies are just strip mining every aspect of society with any monetary aspect. Outcomes be damned.
I'm closing in on password100... It is the only sane thing to do, a good password is hard to memorize. (passphrases are must better, but hard to type correctly first thing in the morning and take too long when I need to type my password a dozen times a day)
Putting a sticker on the camera inconveniences the college, who have to send someone to remove it. They are an innocent third party with no power to replace the vending machine with one without a camera.

Putting epoxy on the camera inconveniences the vending machine owner, who has to replace it. They're the assholes who put the camera there in the first place, and when they replace the machine they can easily put in one with no camera.

If you're going to engage in civil disobedience, why not do it right?

Discover has always been stuck in a weird place in the US market. They've lived and died on their customer service reputation, yet ultimately they are just another credit card company. But with a card that really doesn't have any advantages over the others, while having a non-zero chance of not being accepted somewhere (more common than Amex).

They haven't had any other offerings at all which I've found compelling. And their banking services are too sparse to switch to as a main provider. Hard to say it will be missed.
For me it's how user-defined search engines work. In Chromium-based browsers you can just supply a URL-template, a name, and a shorthand, and you're off to the races, it takes 10 seconds to add one.

In Firefox it used to be you needed to like create your own little mini-addon or something like that, and these days they have "smart bookmarks", but it's such a weird name and doesn't really work the same.

At any rate, I have 100 different little shortcuts defined like for example "tren" which takes the given text, puts it into a translator, and auto-detects language and translates to English. Ditto "sven", "ensv", "trsv", then I have "wiki", "wikise" (Wikipedia Sweden), "wikt", "aw" (ArchWiki), etc., etc.

I use these hundreds of times a day, and when I tried converting to Firefox (before I eventually landed on Brave) I couldn't find a simple way of moving these from my Google Chrome profile to Firefox and have it work like I expect it to. Perhaps that's possible now?

Yeah it's a thing. But the alternative was to continue on the road to darkness. At least if you get a test done, you can understand what the problem might be, or might not be.
Very American. Just swipe the card and toss the statement in the bin when it comes in the post later. National debt? What's that?
Also worth noting some of these website (such as Linear) pre-load other pages once the current page is done loading. The actual JavaScript on the page seems to be about 500kb (as opposed to 3mb)
The problem has a good solution, but getting people to adopt it is unlikely to happen. It is to simply adopt systems which are not based on ambient authority, and simply use the least privilege possible to accomplish a task. This has been known since the 1970s, when we learned it in the US in response to issues during the Viet Nam conflict.

The closest analogy I can give to the state of things right now is to imagine our current power grid with absolutely NO fuses or circuit breakers. Instead of assuming that a circuit somewhere could be compromised, we've invested millions of human lifetimes being very careful about what we connect to the grid. Houses and businesses would routinely burn to the ground, power outages would be commonplace across all scales, any time a circuit fault developed, anywhere.

Instead of giving every device plugged into every outlet everywhere full access to all the power available on the grid, we use circuit protection. You're not going to be able to power a factory from a single 120V single phase outlet, but you can do useful work with it. Thanks to fuses, circuit breakers, and the like, you can effectively use any outlet in your home for almost any conceivable use, without worry. The same is obviously not true for computers, and running programs, although it used to be true!

Back in the early days of computing, we had systems which didn't have a single persistent mass storage. Because we booted off of removable and write-protectable media, it was possible to have a "known good" boot image, and make copies of it. It was always possible to bring the system up in a known good state. It was always known what disks were at risk for corruption, as they were the ones in the disk drives without write protection. You couldn't corrupt disks that weren't in the drives. Sanity was easy to preserve, and we routinely purchased tons of software and just tried it out without a worry.

Thanks to hard drives, and now SSDs that can't be write protected, we'll never be that safe again. Especially when our operating systems can't enforce write protection on even their own code.

We can fix it, but my personal estimate of when that would happen is about passed now.... I figured it would be about 2025, but these days I'm not sure it'll ever happen at all.

Edit/Append - Apparently there are forensic USB3 bridges which could be used to make your media actually read-only. They aren't cheap, though. That's half the problem, the other half is in the OS, and the Genode project (a Capabilities based Operating System) is going to spend 2024 focusing on usability, so a solution might actually be at hand.
Yes, I know, but then C had optimization levels for compilers for decades. Go could compile fast for development and compile slow for production.

But as I've said, even with PGO there is not a lot of gain compared to Rust.
No. Because it is a problem that has nothing to do with real work. I would need to spend at least a month practicing those kinds of problems to be able to perform well in that 1 hour.

Crazy!

Delaware should also reorganize Tesla so that shareholders have a vote as to how Musk is paid—just like every other public company.
Sorry to be pedantic, but in the US courts do not determine innocence as this is presumed. The courts determine guilt.

This is important to know because with cancel culture and even that previous comment, it seems people have this relationship inverted.

No, it's a solution for reviews being an asynchronous process. Even if I get a review within an hour or two, I should be able to continue further work in that time.
As others are pointing out, that "basic enough" CPU is in fact aimed directly at the overclocking market, as (likely) is the motherboard you put it on. This isn't basic at all, this is a high end tweaker rig. It's just a decade old tweaker rig.

To be faaair, it is not wrong per se, it's just something you would never hear coming from an actual person who is addressing you.

A shoopkeeper _might_ say "bem vindo" ("welcome"), even though that would be hella corny (we usually open with "hello/good morning/evening/whatever"). They would never say "lhe dou as boas vindas" (singular form of "(lhe) dou(damos) as boas vindas").
The volume and timing of containers is also important and leaks a lot of information. The weights probably have to be accurate too.

I am not sure how stringent the requirements are for most tech companies. For the ones I worked with, it would be probably fine to push for SaaS deployment or at most bring your own cloud. We used some tools that had complete access to repositories.

That said they were all startups with move fast mentality.

I am leaning towards #3 since we would use the same setup for SaaS and self-hosting but wanted to validate if that would be enough for people here.
Worse every doctor/lab sends their own separate bill with their own separate account numbers and URLs. You could probably make a ton of money just a bill to every address in your city, so long as the amount is around $50 many will not question it anymore as they get so many of those things.
"Why do we care..."

It's not about him especially.

What are all your possible sources of other opinions to consider?

* Informed, or at least intelligent, biased stake holders. (People with money or status or even merely true simple academic interest in it)

* Uninformed or unintelligent biased stake holders. (Maybe politicians or religious)

* Informed or at least intelligent non stake holders. (Kaku)

* Uninformed or unintelligent non stake holders. (Me)

All the other 3 groups are blasting out their opinions like they actually matter at all times, and that matters because through one mechanism or another, be it voting or market, we make policy by simple popularity.

I would say that is why the opinion of anyone in that group matters. Not because it's him by name, but just anyone not in the other 3 groups.
Unpopular opinion: pedestrians need to be MORE aware crossing streets. Stop jay walking and assuming people see you and will stop.

Is it common for people to have to pay previously unknown charges to get their packages delivered? I don’t frequently make international orders, but have a few times, and have never seen this. Everything has always been charged up front.
- Payment networks drop accounts with a too-high fraud rate.

- They and similar businesses (e.g. Stripe) offer automated tools to deal with fraud… for a price.

Outcome: the incentive to minimize fraud, which is often a result of crap security from the payment network, is on merchants, who also get charged extra protection money to get payment networks to do stuff they ought to be doing in the first place.
Bittorrent is free, as fast as my network collection allows, and verifies integrity. I disagree that it falls into your description.

The Golden Age trilogy by John C. Wright.

I read one of his later works and it was horrid, but Golden Age was incredible. The first several chapters were hard to get into, I quit several times and the people I loaned it to never got past that. But after that it takes off like a rocket. On a reread I found that the difficulty at first was just from so much being unfamiliar.

It's in a distant future with superintelligent AI, immortality, physical abundance and pervasive virtual reality. And in that setting he finds a deeply human tale of epic heroism.
Would not use C#, been there, bought the T-shirt, too complicated. I love the simplicity of Go.

Unless we are talking about some very very early days, it has always been opt-in. Or rather, I have been installing Brave since ~2017 and I’ve never had Brave Rewards be on by default.

You’ll get notification badges on the Brave Rewards URL bar icon, but it isn’t active until you click on it and go through the BAT onboarding.
Some ai features make a lot of sense. Automatically organizing tabs is amazing for helping me not get lost in a sea of tabs. Longer form auto complete saves me time, at least on mobile. I used to rely on Reddit comments to summarize trashy low quality articles to give me the primary points. Now that I've been reddit sober for a while, it's been helpful to have my browser do that summarization for me, helping me stay away from Reddit.

I can't say I will use every ai feature, but so far they've been helpful. I don't feel more ignorant. What I think makes people ignorant is outsourcing labor tasks like a cleaner for the home, a gardener for the yard, or handyman for basic repairs. I don't think those are necessarily wrong to outsource though.

I doubt they had the time to pull MacGyver stuff. This scenario was most likely already predicted and tested and it was a matter of changing configurations.
Worrying about procrastination makes it worse. The energy you get from procrastination is what you want to learn to harness. Use it to get other things done. Eventually the original task looks appealing. But don’t worry about! Let your interests be drawn in different directions.

Just don’t watch tv or play games, or if you do, new ones—and enjoy it fully.
I don't think there's a red button imaginable that some not-insignificant % of the population wouldn't press.
While A* could be used to solve Sokoban, wouldn't some sort of Monte-Carlo Tree Search be better at it? I wonder how would it compare to this model.
What incentive do they have to change it? People will still click and still pay, and if they don’t, they’ll refer it to collections and ruin their credit. As long as the billing office gets the money, in their view, the bar for “competence” is passed.

This is something that only people like us can see. The rest of the world doesn’t care about the problem, and even if they did, they have zero incentive to fix it.
Sadly, FUSE is far from fast.

Great for quick fixes though, it's crazy to be able to locally mount a disk image that sits on the other side of the world on an HTTP server.
I'll add to the chorus of other responses that the whole computer is generally unreliable.

However, the really useful thing that this software could do is make the error message much better - explaining the likely thing that is causing the decompression to fail, and advising the computer should be fixed.
Like how Hillary approved the sale of Uranium One? Give me a break. If Trump was going to sell out he would have done it the first time around.

Is this type of comments really in the spirit of HN discussions? From HN guidelines:

I find this type of comments in many articles which goes like "I thought this article would be X but turned out to be Y". Sure you thought that! Sometimes the title does not tell the full story to everyone. Sometimes it does. It would be nice if it always did. But there is ambiguity in natural languages.

Government contracting is the pathological case for that: if they haven’t been allowed to hire civil servants, they have no choice but to use a handful of big companies. The shortage of in-house expertise makes it hard to know if the work is being planned or performed correctly so a common strategy is to hire one company to oversee the work of another company. Unfortunately, since there are only a few companies in the space and job hopping is the best path for a raise or to avoid layoffs when contracts turn over, it’s rare for anyone to be very critical of past or future coworkers.
Sorry, but it really sounds to me like you're repeating something from theorical research on GCs, best cases, and cherry-picking counter-examples.

* ARCs non-determinism doesn't matter outside of contrived cases. In practical use it's as deterministic as expected.

* The runtime overhead of modern GC algorithms might have been proven formally to have a "lower bound than ARC", but like many things proven formally, it's seldom the case in practice. And this isn't also counting the memory overhead from using GC. Just like the oft-repeated "JIT can be faster than compiled because it has knowledge of the runtime" but in practice that only happens on special cases, and compiled C/C++/Rust still beats its ass.

As for the runtime overhead of deferred GC happing "outside of the hot path", and yet every domain with a GC and high load/low latency has historically suffered GC pauses, and GCs have to be reworked to ever more complex byzantine schemes to try to reduce the issue.

>*ARC is in fact a GC strategy. E.g. obj-c has autorelease pools that postpone deletion until later, so the hot path doesn't get interrupted if reference count of something reaches zero early. These things are a spectrum.

Yes, like cars and 18-wheelers are a spectrum. And C++/Rust is on the other side of that spectrum compared to Java and Go.
Yep yep I’m working on #3 as well, that’s what the customers asked for.
Building a deep learning rig
Even if GP's cooling setup was less than ideal, the chip should have throttled itself to a stable frequency instead of crashing left and right.
oh yes. i ask one advanced question when i interview. something like "what's the difference between git rebase and git pull" -- if they know you're good to go. the other route I take is to have a candidate walk me through some code they have, if they don't have any code then i don't hire them. period.
