I have a private office at the university I have a position at. I also have an open office at the company I work at. I love my private office. I have a big white board to sketch out ideas on, a couch, lots of table space for various projects or whatever. I have speakers that I can play music without headphones. My private office is a joy to go and work at. At the company we have two open offices, one quiet and one for collaboration. We also have an open desk policy. We also don't have enough desks for everyone so there's work from home if you want and the company pays for your setup. Tbh, the only thing I ever did with my WFH setup was to play video games on the screen. If I need to concentrate or write proposals or whatever I can go to my university office. If I want to talk to colleagues I go to the company office. If I decide I hate it all I go to a coffee shop. Sure whatever works for you works for you. But I love my private office.

Where I live the only kids who program are those who are lucky enough to have a teacher interested in robots. They are taught to program robots as a fun activity rather than a part of the curriculum.

I understand your sentiment about the opportunity costs for those with computing knowledge, but it wouldn’t be too hard to require teachers to do a basic computing unit at university. In the same way the best mathematicians are not usually school teachers, yet “regular” teachers seem to perform sufficiently.
I recently bought land with over 100 olive trees in Portugal. We use the stuff a lot but this will tie us over and with current prices, the monetary savings are relevant.

Another advantage; picking and trimming finally takes me away from the computer at least for a while. Picking takes quite a while, but it’s fun.

We have fiber for the house and Starlink for the land. 0 outings (that I know off) on either so far (knock on would).

I question it quite often. I think relating can be very useful for both people involved. I do think that sometimes it may be useful for one and not the other, but I don't think it's as simple as saying to not "one-up" someone. The intention may not to be to one up and yet the other perceives it that way. Or the intention actually could be the one up and the other _doesn't_ perceive it that way.

Overall I think we talk way too much about getting better at listening and not nearly enough at getting better at talking.

EDIT: OK, I can get better at listening/reading lol, as the author said the following:

> One reason is this myth: that the good listener just listens. This egregious misunderstanding actually leads to a lot of bad listening, and I’ll tell you why: because a good listener is actually someone who is good at talking.

Thank you for the kind feedback!
Good storytelling, but lacking editorially - they left out an important category of chip designers / manufactures and missed out on perspectives from companies that design chips as part of their products but not as end products.
Leading to flawed assertions that (all) engineers are moving away from System on a Chip(SoC) architecture to chiplet architecture & multi-chip modules (MCMs) technology! From the likes of intel, it makes sense to modularize their product and maximize market outreach by offering variants. But this would almost always be subpar efficient on power and performance parameters to SoC designed for custom use-cases!
The noise floor of 16-bit music is imperceptible so for mastered music at least 24-bits is useless. Both a higher sample rate and bit depth can be useful for recording purposes - provided the room is perfectly treated and there are no external sources of noise.
This was the only point I also disagreed! And i also share the same sentiment you observed.

But thinking about it, it highly depends on the situation and the way someone phrases it. The example used in the article is exaggerated. Relation creates a sense of shared feelings only if you are trying to approximate the other person's feeling and thoughts and if you disengaged directly after you said "i also stubbed my toe once". Most of the time, people don't stop there and keep on telling THEIR story and how they felt, instead of just being an interjection. This is not the fault of people, but a normal way of most people doing conversation. I guess the author is thinking about these persons.
I'm not familiar with the US system but I don't think the court de cassation is actually comparable to the US supreme court. The court de cassation only overturns judgements on the basis of technical details of law, whether every procedure was followed as they should, etc.

It doesn't provide any feedback on the actual judgement it overturns (or not). So the court that does the actual judging is free to get to the same judgement as before if it respects the process correctly this time. But this is essentially a new judgement that starts from zero and takes as much time as the first time.

I've used both, a 4k 24" display ("once you used retina you can't go back") and a 144Hz display, and I can't be arsed to upgrade my main setup which is three old 24" 1920x1200 screens at 60Hz. Some people really don't care. Heck I don't get those discussions about input latency and terminal emulator holy wars, I can't tell the difference between working on a framebuffer console and working via ssh with an additional 50ms.

I can tell the difference between a 30 and 60fps game, but only if I pay attention to it. As long as it's steady and not bouncing between the two I just don't care.
Having been doing this for a few years, the answer currently requires JS. A certain amount of CSS is needed, but JS is required for the following realistic features.

Updating Chrome gets extensions to break (v. 122)
After updating chrome (on ubuntu, installed through the google .deb file), several extensions stopped to work.

Example:
- Autoscroll

- Dark reader (clicking the icon shows a screen with a progress bar and no options, although it does change css)

Anyone knows why? Is this my setup, or happening for everyone? Did chrome make a big breaking change?

There is an excellent reason; startups generally have no idea what they are doing and are very sloppy compared to an established company. Not only that, but they have to be trying to do things differently - otherwise there was no point starting a new company.

Those two factors add up to unsafe practices. It is likely enough that it needs to be factored into investment plans.
Ha on any other website I would confidently assume this is sarcasm. Good job!

And the “is this law constitutional?” part is done by the Constitutional council, which is not quite a court. And there’s a second Supreme Court (Conseil d’État) anyway. Quite different from the US.
Great callout. To me the biggest revolution came from USB mass storage devices. You either juggled 1.44MB floppy disks around, had to use CD-ROMs, or you had to open up your desktop and plug in a HDD.

With USB, all you had to do was stick a small plastic widget in a USB socket and you were ready to go. How cool is that?

Flash memory hammered home we lived in the future. Some USB flash drives fitted right into a USB type A plug, and stored hundreds of megabytes.

It's the same in Denmark. It's basically required to get Danes to open up emotionally but it's destructive because the emotional opening-up doesn't carry over back across the veil to sobriety.

For a people who were once Vikings, they're incredibly non-confrontational. If you have a difficult conversation with them and they're sober there's a high chance they simply never speak to you again.

>In the last open office I worked in, I could not find headphones that allowed me to focus, not even construction-grade earmuffs; if someone's chewing food within 10 ft, I'll hear it, and that's all I'll hear.

That's interesting. I have the same exact issue and whenever I tell people about it they think I am crazy. I don't have a problem with people chewing food when it's lunch break and we sit in the cafeteria, but man, when I try to focus it kills my brain. Just last week the guy next to me started eating kind of late in the day (where my brain was almost empty). I then tried to cancel it out with headphones, but that just wasn't possible anymore.

And I still don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes I try to take a walk for 5 minutes and it helps, but not always. On some days I get a full mental breakdown because I get angry at myself getting angry on somebody just making noises any normal human being does while eating
They have been actively working to mitigate just that for the last few decades at least. It is challenging and expensive work despite how easy it is to ask why we don't just collect all the rain that hits the land. Last year with the historic rainfall, LA county captured enough rain to meet the drinking water needs of 5 million people.
Court procedures take a huge amount of time in France and nothing prevents appeals, etc. So it's pretty much usual for the case to take years in the first court then for one party to appeal, which again takes years, and finally for one party to appeal the appeal, which sends the case to Cassation, which again takes years and possibly sends the case back to appeal (which is what has happened here).

It's not very unusual for criminal cases to drag on for a decade between arrest and end of all procedures, for instance.

Well, profit is about 10%, so peak rates for electricity could drop to $0.63/kWh instead of $0.70/kWh, which is still a ridiculous rate, even in California.

And instead of shareholders capitalizing the company, the government would need to use tax payer money.

And worst of all, when the state company fucks up, then the politicians would take the blame and might lose votes.

#1 and #2 are possible, but #3? Never going to happen in California.

I would like to quote this comment from an earlier discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39544442.

> Perfect crystals. Also, the proof-of-concept drug was ritonavir, and it's nearly impossible to consistently grow large crystals of it on Earth. All of the labs that work with ritonavir are contaminated by a more stable form ("polymorph") that rapidly converts any ritonavir crystals into a less-useful form.

In short: yes, you're correct, but I am just parroting somebody else; personally, I posses no actual knowledge of chemistry involved.

You don’t even have to ignore io: input is a coeffect which is passed to your otherwise pure function as an argument and output is directly derived from your returned works state. That is, yes there’s some side effects happening before and after each iteration but it can be relatively cleanly separated. In my toy engine, I do this: input is fed in and rendering is driven by the output. My game logic isn’t a pure function (it’s a task graph that reads and writes from event queues and internally maintained task state, but input is fed into the start of the task graph and rendering is driven by tasks at the end), but it conceptually could be as all the statefulness is encapsulated and internal.

I agree that I disagree with this as a blanket statement, but as a baseline, I would agree. The real issue here is why/how you're relating A lot of people relate poorly. The common mistake is as the author points out: to compare experiences. This comparison is almost never useful. Either your experience was worse, which feels invalidating to a listeners feelings or your experience was not as bad, which feels like an inauthentic relation.

IMO relating does a lot better when it serves a purpose useful to the listener. A few that I have found:

1. when you're validating how they've already expressed how they feel. sometimes people doubt their own feelings and so you can use your own related experience to show them that you felt a very similar way when you were in a similar situation. caveat: dont ever tell them how they should feel, only validate what they've already expressed. also, if theyre not doubting their emotions, dont do this either...its not useful at best

2. when you're trying to understand how they're feeling (e.g. one time my dog died and I would just always expect to see her around the corner, but she was never there...is that like what you're feeling?)

3. when you're helping out with things that need to be done: (e.g. my parents passed away too, do you want help with sending out funeral invitations / finding a cemetery / etc)

4. if they dont know what to do / what options are and you relate different experiences about how you may have dealt with a similar situation.

Caveats:

1. Relating without a purpose will come off as a comparison, dont do it.

2. Not every purpose is valid for every person. A lot of these reasons require that the person trust you to an extent. E.g. offering to help a stranger with their funeral obligations will come off very poorly.

3. You have to have actual relevant experience with something, trying to shoehorn something tangentially related comes off very poorly.

4. You have to know how to deliver the related experience

5. They have to be ready to hear it: if someone is talking, dont interrupt. dont change the topic. only use the solutions above if the person seems like they are looking for it.

6. tons more.

In sum, there are reasons to relate, but there are lots of potholes here so its very easy to get wrong. So, as a general statement I would agree, but if you can do these above things well, it can really help people when they may need it.

With the many alternative food sources we have available to meet our needs for sustenance (which are also less wasteful and more climate-friendly) it is hard to argue that these animals die for anything but to keep up our eating habits or simply for the pleasure of eating them.
I definitely do this a lot. I would say I’m somewhat self-centred, but not a sociopath!

I think I just make a connection with what they’re saying and then share my experience to commiserate, and to find wisdom/learnings from that experience to see if they apply.

That’s my conscious assessment anyway. But I feel like I shouldn’t do it.

Anyone have tips to avoid this? How do I prevent myself from relating their experience to my own?

I feel that being able to completely ignore your own experience (or even opinion) and adapt purely to what they need at this moment is true selflessness, and it’s something I’ve always struggled with.

(Ironic comment I know).
It’s not fantasy, it’s an abstract idea represented by that visual symbol. The ♡ symbol, for example, pictorially represents a naive understanding of a heart, but the connotation of love— itself not accurate— is the real message. We don’t say someone had a “♡ attack” merely because we’re don’t think the symbol is accurate enough, it doesn’t jibe with the real meaning of that symbol. We also don’t assume MacBook Pros are fruit storage containers. Those symbols are *everywhere * in our lives.

I'm curious too. I'm guessing it's something to do with sonames & rpaths which often need fixing up during installation (CMake does this for example). I haven't ever used Bazel for distributing Linux binaries so maybe it just doesn't have that built in.

(I would go with statically linked binaries anyway tbh.)
This is not an “early” CADR, it is just a CADR. By ‘81 they were heavily used at the AI lab and as gumby mentions, they aren’t fragile little machines.

No running (real) CADRs exist, unless you consider the two FPGAs on my desk.

For a CADR simulator you can check https://tumbleweed.nu/lm-3 — I managed to restore the last system version for it last year or so, and we are continuing hacking adding and fixing things.

E.g. you can run the simulator against the Global Chaosnet and talk to other LispMs and ITS machines (simulated or not). And some of us do run it 24/7 as a file server for other LispMs.
The problem is that you really don't want the fans to react that quickly. Fans make noise, and a changing noise is far more irritating than a constant buzz in the background.

Engaging Data has a nice data display for this. It more clearly shows the capacities of the individual reservoirs [1]. They also have displays for the current snowpack [2] and rainfall [3]. After a very slow start, this year's precipitation is finally up to the median.

If you want to understand why California has so much trouble with water, pay special attention to the rainfall totals web page. It shows how many years got N inches of rainfall. Best year was more than 200% of median rainfall, and worst was 40% of median. And it is historically common to have many sub-median years in a row.

Based on my experience living in Korea, it appears that the country exhibits a collectivist culture. Collectivism emphasizes the importance of careful consideration in forming relationships, which can lead to significant stress. A key aspect of this culture is the desire to avoid causing inconvenience to others. Similarly, alcohol culture, akin to ice-breaking activities, serves as a means to alleviate tension in social interactions, making it a crucial cultural element in Korea.
