About: Making software for 34+ years.. seen many terminals, languages, designs, projects, customers, teams, organisations and cultures.. and attitudes. Being everything from bottom to top..
usually wearing many hats, always hands-on.
Have my own python course, coding style, some open-sourced things, and even opinions.

Looking for Mentoring a team. About programming and life - with me coming there.. or them coming here. As Playing trainer, within the team and the project. Did it once officially, 2013/Ericsson/Ireland - 10 newbies, young+old, 4 months.. all seniors now. Many times unofficially, 2005 Singapore or 2019 Varna.. Life-coached few persons. Made good friends along.

Apart of that, i can also be a senior IC/ Principal/ Staff engineer.. or engineering manager, CTO.

i mean - architecting, coding, requirements, reverse engineering, DIY, decisions, strategy - is fine, but politics-and-intrigues isn't. i like teaching people what i know, and how to live as programmer, without going crazy, and without making others crazy.
And how to tweak or redo that function- interface- architecture- app- or.. personal relation, so all works better together. Nudging or nagging here-there, smiling or kicking elsewhere..
IMO the interesting part of software, is the people. Technicals.. are solvable.

have fun
Because those charts don’t line up with the average person’s lived experience. Even well paid tech pros on this forum are noticing it.

I cooked some steaks for Valentine’s Day. Cheapest ones I could find were $15/ea. 2 years ago I cooked steaks for Valentines Day and they were like 8 bucks.

Maybe overall in aggregate there’s one metric but when you notice a lot of stuff at the grocery store has DOUBLED in price in just a few years, it’s concerning.

also that chart stops in 2022 and there is still a noticiable uptick despite the very long scale.

Although Dyalog APL is slightly different from other APLs, their editor does have exactly that in their REPL; it is a good way to learn the basics.
From Wikipedia : extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase process where data is extracted, transformed (cleaned, sanitized, scrubbed) and loaded into an output data container. The data can be collated from one or more sources and it can also be output to one or more destinations.

Reverse is only meaningful when you're used to a specific view that ETL can only load into a single destination. (Usually data warehouse)

Just like the term "push notification" which are a specific kind of communication from the server to a mobile device but in fine, it's the device calling a service to know if there are any notification waiting for them.

> I open the windows every day, and in the summer most of the night.

Then you shouldn't have an issue since you are basically living outdoors most of the time.

As long as there is enough air movement, it should dry things out.

The problem is condensation inside the walls. To deal with that, your wall has to be vapor-open to either the inside or outside, so it can dry. Standard interior paint is usually breathable.

Also, if you are leaving your windows open that much in winter you probably consume a lot of heating fuel and therefore generate a lot of heat, which also dries things out. That's how it worked with old wood houses - you generated a ton of heat to dry them out.
It needed Elon Musk to have this article there.
>But what's the point of going through all the pain of rendering graphs in text?

Embracing the curses interface constraints and limiting yourself on purpose to express just what you need to show - as opposed to getting sidetracked by the billions of possibilities of things to render and the shiny graphics?

"This cpu is ~80% this is ~25% load" shown with representative bars for a quick visual gauging of the machine's state at a glance. Would it give it any more benefit it it had nice ticks, and fine gradations, and fancy rendering, so that you could tell 78% vs 80% more easily?

It's not like GUI apps don't exist.
Can someone clarify please, I don't know much about India other than published economic data, and lately those seem to be showing impressive growth. Is there a reason I should be suspicious of this data?
Okay, developers can choose on Android. Yet to a first approximation, all of them still use the Google Play Store, why is that?

If it’s only mean old Apple stopping developers from using PWAs, then why do Android developers still use Google Play services instead of PWAs, alternate app stores or direct downloads? All of which are available?

Candy Crush - still one of the most profitable games in the App Store is not graphic intensive and could be done on the web today and use Apple Pay (normal credit card charges), why don’t they?
I never said Proton would necessarily be faster than D3DMetal. I'm saying that upstream DXVK support would be better than D3DMetal and enable SPIR-V optimization. In essence, my original comment was a response to what this person is asking for: "Apple needs to level up its game porting toolkit"

Apple realistically has two roads to improving DirectX support. They can either commit to updating D3DMetal to support every new and old feature around, or enable the community to do that work for them. And let me tell you, the strategy of "trust Apple to fix it all" has yielded us just about nothing the past 6 months.

This is how they fix their strategy. It's not a complex or radical suggestion at all, a lot of OEMs support DXVK by accident.
I enjoyed watching his videos for a few years, but I eventually had to stop because it was so hard to watch what you describe. You put it very kindly; I would have called it a channel documenting a slow descent into madness. Maybe it was my own latent perfectionism that made me so uncomfortable watching him obsess, repeatedly restart, second-guess, overanalyze, self deprecate, etc. It’s a hard thing to relive vicariously.
But in this case, people outside the Apple ecosystem are literally asking for legislation as to how Apple should operate.

Your statement would make more sense if inverted? That people within the Apple ecosystem aren’t trying to change how Samsung or Google operate

I think part of the point of this project is to avoid electronics and digital tech in the final machine. personally I think it's what makes it so interesting, he's interested in the mechanical design and engineering aspects, not the digital ones
Oh i see, that makes sense I think. Thanks!
Sorry, we don't support use cases above 6TB right now. This is an arbitrary limitation, it is just that we haven't figured out a sensible price point for larger tiers.
The first step is to propose a model that explains stuff. Then you test it on new predictions.
Right. It's possible to stagger your replacements so as to avoid bad batches, or even to buy from different vendors for additional diversity (although for SSDs you have much more divergent performance characteristics), but when you're talking about rotating disks one at a time that's a lot of non-negligible overhead.

Depending on how much data you have to archive and frequency of access, it may very well be worth the cost to entirely offload opex and capex to cloud storage.

AWS Glacier Deep Archive in us-east-1 is $1/TB/month (GCP and Azure offer comparable pricing for archival storage). If you have 5x 4TB SSDs that, say, run you $200 each, and you run RS(5,3) then you're storing 12TB of data for $1000 of capex for 5-10 years. Meanwhile AWS would set you back $144/year, so the breakeven on capex alone would be if you would normally rotate your disks every 7 years.
Looks like they have staging environments set up but probably not live to the public:

I took a two or three day on-site intro to R class that my employer put together. Perhaps it was not a great class, but as a seasoned software developer familiar with a number of imperative and functional languages I was baffled by R. It felt like a bunch of little functions that had been developed by different people with no consistent framework, and thrown together in some kind of big wrapper. I know it's popular among statisticians and researchers, so I think a prerequsite must be a good fluency with statistics (I don't have that). Maybe it makes more sense if you think like a statistician. As a programmer I felt like nothing I learned about R contributed to developing an intuitive understanding of any of the rest of it.

A better quality of life is certainly what we want. I'm glad you found a good solution to your condition.

What is still wild to me is that so many people in that age range would suffer without drugs. I would expect more conditions to crop up as people mature but not this soon at this rate.
> Tail-call optimization would be a language feature.

Most lisps generally do it this way (except maybe emacs lisp?), but there's not really a requirement for it to be a language feature. TCO is really just AST manipulation, and lisp macros are more than capable of that, although you might want to hook into the reader as well if Kamila supports it (I didn't see anything about that in the github readme).
Yeah Sora is honestly just a party trick.
In Google "data science" circa 2009 (although we didn't call it that), R was the weapon of choice.

I consider it a bad relic of the 70's. It doesn't have a "learning curve" -- it has a "learning straight line." Even when you're experienced and semi-competent at it, it's still difficult and surprising.
It is the whole tree, actually. That's one reason I don't use context.
The USA executes people with impunity anywhere in the world. It has secret torture cells where people disappear or just die. Internally, it jails people for wrong think, manufactures terrorist threats, forces businesses to filter and send data to allow sweeping surveillance. It then spreads democracy by conducting coup operations, selling drugs, fixing elections, or if none of that works, plain old bombs work fine. At the same time running the most sophisticated propaganda campaigns in the world with the full support of almost everyone who reads this website.

No, the OP I'm quoting is an Apple user [0], as is almost everyone who complains about Apple's rules on HN. Most Android users don't care because it doesn't affect them.

The way these discussions usually go is that a bunch of Apple users complain about the restrictions, a bunch of Apple users say they like them, and a few Android users like myself remind the complainers that there are, in fact, other options that don't involve forcing Apple to take away the rules that most iOS users appreciate having.

>designed specifically for the challenge of keeping up with the car at speeds of over 300kph.

So using relatively inexpensive parts they built an artillery shell shaped drone that can travel at over 300 kmph ... for just one lap.

Do you hear that? It's the sound of every military in the world ringing their phones.

For context, commercial DJI drones are heavily used in Ukraine right now by both sides mostly for recon (and more), but since they're slow, they often get shot down by rifle/small arms fire form soldiers. However, if you could make them go 300+ kmph, even John Wick couldn't shoot them down while they do a recon lap.

"Really really" has only a few syllables and those syllables sound repetitive. When isolating the vowels, it's like tapping the same piano key twice "EA -> EA".

"Categorically" has a lot of syllables with some alternating vowels mixed in, this makes it easy to say and easy to understand when spoken. Going back to the piano metaphor, there is a bit of a tune to it now "A -> E -> O -> I -> A".

"Categorically" exists outside the vocabulary of children so it sounds more intelligent.

"Really really" elicits the memory of something your friend in elementary school might have said when insisting they "really really" want your Charizard card, not very convincing, maybe even annoying.

Finally, "categorically" has a bit more weight to it than "really really", perhaps making it closer to a "really really really really" or a "super duper" to those in the know.

"Categorically" encompasses an entire category after all, those are usually super duper big.

Hard to say. Certainly his name would have been a draw, but you've also got Altman, head of YC as a founder, not to mention his buddy Peter Thiel.

Musk's influence in attracting/retaining talent is rather a mixed bag given that he poached Karpathy for Tesla around the same time he left.

I think the person you're thinking of who Musk helped recruit for OpenAI is Ilya Sutskever. The person who just left, after a second brief stint at OpenAI, is Karpathy who for time being seems content on going back to his roots as an educator.
Really? What's wrong with https://github.com/mikefarah/yq? Works quite fine.
I try to remember that I've learned my engineering lessons in small doses, over many years, and often in an environment where I wasn't the most senior engineer, without the full scope of the design under my control. As I've grown as an engineer, more of those things have come into my purview, and I still have many more lessons to learn. Martin is speed-running the game, in public, and deserves a lot of leeway.
You're wrong. They are parameters if you're using them to bestfit another value (rotation curves). This is basic high school science/stats.

And yes, baryonic distribution is absolutely a parameter, but it's not a free parameter (or it's a less free parameter) because it's value is constrained to a measurement that is orthogonal to the quantity inferred (light vs rotation curve). Meanwhile, dm density is a free parameter. It could be zero, or, 10x the baryonic mass, or anything in between.
Weird, the older I get the better that font is for me. I wonder if that's because of nostalgia as all of the terminals at that age looked like this.

Super cool. Embedded camera software is tough. Number one issue when I worked on it was dropping frames. You have 10 ms or so to get the frame to the next I/O stage - for example for streaming - and a lot has to happen. Double the challenge for stereo cameras.
In addition to just looking really cool, the final part of the video with the drone following Max’s car in the rain does a good job of visualizing the aerodynamics of the latest F1 cars and how they affect the racers around them.
Any structural engineer or serious lumber person will tell you this is wrong.

In fact, if you go over to the Reddit discussion on this post, they all agree.

New growth has much fewer knots and issues because they are grown in a way that does not force the trees to compete for sunlight.

As such they grow straighter, taller, and with far fewer knots and anomalies.

The old stuff is denser but that is the only advantage.

It's worth not throwing out but it's not magically better.

We don't care about making new growth denser because we created lvl, lsl, psl, clt, etc.
This seems like a cheap shot, but such is the polarization of the debate that I can't tell from which direction or with what aim.

The simpler, rational and boring truth is that the CDC is basically right. Most people have had covid several times, existing variants are much less dangerous than the original ones, vaccines work very well. There are and will remain (and have always been, vs. all disease) populations that are susceptible anyway and will need to continue to be vigilant. There remain open questions of science as to exactly what the long term effect will be or how recovery from "long covid" works (though to be fair, the dire predictions of an epidemiological time bomb haven't come true -- covid does not seem like a major source of long term disability in aggregate).

But... it's safe enough. People get sick and always will, and that sucks. But there's little more we can gain by treating this disease as special.
woah that's cool :) also hello tavis

"If anyone wants to know why every tech company is clamoring for AI.."
Rust's "enum" mechanism is really an algebraic data type, and corresponds to Ada's enumeration types when applied as discriminants in variant record types. But Ada's enumeration types have a wider context of use, separate and independent from variant record types, including compile- and run-time features related directly to a) symbolic order and symbol names, b) binary representation mapped to these symbols, and c) subtyping/ranges.

I'm not aware of a good online presentation focused exclusively on Ada's enumeration types and their various uses. It's not even singled out in the Rationale documents for the design of the language and the (3?) design revisions since the 1980 launch; maybe the AARM (Annotated Ada Reference Manual) has more focused discussions? I'm not sure, I haven't looked at these since ~20y ago.

Show HN: Stillcolor – Reduce eyestrain on macOS by disabling temporal dithering
Recently got an M3 Max MBP which gave me severe eyestrain after less than an hour of use. Turns out the major cause for that was temporal dithering at the GPU level. I built Stillcolor to disable temporal dithering from user space, which helped massively reduce eyestrain with little to no degradation in image quality.

And which way are you arguing that Apple should add more OS level APIs for web apps or should have less for native apps?

You can’t have it both ways. Either you want the wonderful world of PWAs where random websites have more access to your hardware and more parity with native apps and less privacy and security or you want it to remain more restrictive.

These and more are all APIs that Apple has refused to implement that HN users are clamoring for. Which side do you fall on?

Yes, but Ada does offer some compile time checks. That example only does the runtime check part of range checking, it does do compile time checking for type mismatches (or would in most statically typed OO languages). And SPARK offers more compile time checks than plain Ada (but it restricts what you can do since it's a subset of Ada, useful within specific packages or for libraries but not necessarily globally depending on circumstances).

Ada also offers the option to turn off the checks if you think you know what you're doing (you've proved out your system with SPARK, a lot of testing, or a lot of other analysis).

For instance the class based version won't catch this until runtime (I'll assume some operator overloading for ease of demonstration, syntax is C-ish just because it's more engrained in my fingers):

// suppose range is 0..127
my_type val = 200; // runtime error with the class version, compile time in Ada

my_type a, b, c;
// somehow a and b get assigned values
c = a + b; // SPARK can warn about potential overflow here, class based version won't, straight Ada won't
