A foul is a statistic that is easily countable. If goals are greater than fouls then it may make sense to keep that footballer anyway.

It might be more due to the weird way that the government divided responsibility for the metering connectivity. Arqiva have the northern segment and O2 the southern, so they use the method that best suits their existing infrastructure.

Sleepwalking is a condescending term, like the author knows better than them.

You know what else is stupid? Excessive over-regulation and the stagnation of Europe's economy, which aligns with the author's politics.

>Year-on-year inflation peaked at 11.2 percent in January 2023 and remains above the eurozone average. And natural gas prices increased by 103 percent in the first half of 2023 compared with the same period the year prior.

It's worse than animal agriculture based on what evidence?

Once you look at production at scale, these products dominate animal ag environmentally:

> a study published in Nature 2022 found that replacing 20 percent of per-capita ruminant meat, such as beef, with fermentation derived microbial protein, such as mycoprotein, could cut global deforestation and carbon dioxide emissions by 50% in addition to lowering methane emissions.

Also,

> it is the only way that I know of that can be used for achieving a vegan diet that is less expensive than eating meat.

I don't understand this. Even ChatGPT can come up with a solution to your question if you care to figure out how to eat a sufficient vegan diet without soy/gluten.

e.g. Legumes are cheaper than meat. For the sake of looking at real numbers, 1000 calories of cooked lentils has 80g protein (all of the EAAs) and 67% of the day's nutrients. Also, you'd have to substantiate why optimizing for protein is the only thing you seem to care about given that (1) you can reach the high end 1.6g/kg protein with this food and (2) there are dozens of other nutrients that matter.

But searching for these hypothetical cases where someone can't eat neither soy nor gluten just so you can finally launder in a chicken egg and go "A-ha!" seems to be a red herring that doesn't track anything in this conversation. Okay, now let's pretend they are allergic to chicken eggs, too. Ho hum.
Possibly controversial in this day and age of Twitter takes: Germany did not sleep walk into a NSDAP victory. People actually voted for it.

A reason there is so much political division is the stupid belief that the bad outcome happens because nobody is awake/smart/educated enough to stop it from happening. No one considers the fact that they are living in a bubble, and the majority might have a totally different view, and thus political affiliation, than your bubble.

You can thank the social media recommendation algorithms for turning this bubble into a cozy echo chamber. An intellectual prison where both sides move further and further away, each with their own set of truths, beliefs and interpretation of the world. The saddest thing is, media and journalists are the ones most entrenched in the social media idiocy, and help it spread like wildfire.

Party politics were a mistake, social media made it exponentially worse.
Four-bit floats are not as useful as Nvidia would have you believe.

Does Sweden really not have labor laws?

I don't think the US created these laws just to be nice to people.

Corporations were literally hiring private armies and killing people. So the people voted for laws. Maybe they seem antiquated now, but they did have a reason for being.

And, if there is a class system, like if you are born rich, you get to be rich, if you are born poor you get to stay poor. Then it seems natural to start to dislike each other. How can you fault people born into poverty for disliking the people creating a system to keep them there?
You can store the files as if you name the actual location of the file as a hash of its contents and symlink the file to that location, you naturally get deduplication. Fuchsia does this [1]. You still end up wanting to try and coordinate your packages to share as many deps as possible for resource optimization reasons, but you no longer depend on it.

Alongside a link to Google's explanation of why they do it, that's a very reasonable and helpful reply. "Changing the queuing method from the standard first-in, first-out (FIFO) to last-in, first-out (LIFO) [...] can reduce load by removing requests that are unlikely to be worth processing"

For more detail, the document cites an article from Facebook (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2838344.2839461):

> Most services process queues in FIFO (first-in first-out) order. During periods of high queuing, however, the first-in request has often been sitting around for so long that the user may have aborted the action that generated the request. Processing the
first-in request first expends resources on a request that is less likely to benefit a user than a request that has just arrived. Our services process requests using adaptive LIFO. During normal operating conditions, requests are processed in FIFO order, but when a queue is starting to form, the server switches to LIFO mode. Adaptive LIFO and CoDel play nicely together, as shown in figure 2. CoDel sets short timeouts, preventing long queues from building up, and adaptive LIFO places new requests at the front of the queue, maximizing the chance that they will meet the deadline set by CoDel. HHVM3, Facebook’s PHP runtime, includes an implementation of the Adaptive LIFO algorithm.

I understand the sentiment but I think it's highly dependent on context. Where you work at, who you work with, org size, what the problem is, the cost and benefits of each abstraction, etc etc. I think it's our job as developers to put all those things on the scales when deciding what abstractions to use or not use. Whether a pattern is "the default" or familiar is certainly a big factor, but not the only one.
> A lot of people want a middle class life and are seeing the connection between strong unified bargaining and their chances to become middle class.

... and the connection between post-Soviet rabid capitalism (I know, the onset of Thatcherism was before that - but only after the USSR collapsed, rabid capitalism really began to take up speed), globalization for goods but not people, and resulting widespread destruction in domestic low-level employment (mining, factories) also becomes more and more apparent.

I actually ran into that at work a few days ago. I wanted to provide a callback that accumulated stuff, and check that the total was equal to what was expected, or crash the program otherwise (fail fast). I could have equivalently written the output of the test to a capture-by-ref variable and checked it outside if I really wanted to.

The statement was that the climate change, biodiversity loss and energy crisis could cause civilization to collapse in the next few decades. You cherry-picked "biodiversity" there.

I was merely pointing out the irony that you complain about somebody steering the discussion somewhere while you actually did that in the first place.
I was about to post the same thing. The article strikes a very condescending tone towards Austrian voters - like they're idiots for voting this way. Meanwhile, as usual, it's the economy that has people upset:

> Year-on-year inflation peaked at 11.2 percent in January 2023 and remains above the eurozone average. And natural gas prices increased by 103 percent in the first half of 2023 compared with the same period the year prior.

These kinds of numbers have very real consequences for people living paycheck to paycheck.

Well, no. When people say "containers", they always mean "Docker".

And Docker also comes with a daemon with full root permissions and ridiculous security policies. (Like, for example, forcefully turning off your machine's firewall, #yolo. WTF!)

Ask HN: Get a job with my CS degree, or start my dream business?
Hey everyone. Just looking for some advice.

I’m about to graduate this May with my degree in Computer Science, and I’m honestly pretty worried. I know the job market is really tough at the moment, I’ve seen it first hand sending loads of job applications with few responses. My main focus is in Embedded Systems Software and it’s something I’m really passionate about. However, I unfortunately didn’t do an internship which is definitely damaging all of my applications and interviews.

I live in a state where there are very very few jobs in software engineering, so I would almost certainly have to relocate to another state.

However, I have always had a deep entrepreneurial spirit since I was very young. My long time dream has been to start a coffee company, but start it small and scale up. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about opening a mobile specialty coffee trailer and taking it to events, but also heavily focusing on catering. My goal would be to eventually scale up and open a physical location and a coffee roaster location. Then from there, possibly look into the coffee equipment industry which I’ve always been very interested in (mainly since embedded software is heavily used here in “smart” coffee makers).

I’m fortunate enough to be graduating with a good savings, enough to cover the startup costs for this business. I also am very thankful to have no student debt.

My dilemma is that I don’t want to throw away my passion for embedded software engineering, but I also know that now is the best time in life to take big risks and chase my ambitions.

What do you all think? Am I foolish for considering this and should I just focus on getting a job, or should I take the leap and see what happens? I’m not oblivious to the fact that this business would be way more hours of work for much lesser pay, but I’m willing to put my nose to the grindstone and see what I can build.

Thank you all.
The curious thing about "native" GUIs, nowadays, is that most people spend their time using "desktop" apps that are just browsers in disguise, and don't really bother with looking like any platform's native UI.

I often wonder how much effort it would take to make one of the popular eguis framework and, rather than make it looks "like a native" app, you could get away with making it look "like a browser". (everyone style buttons/ inputs / etc... but they have a general "default" feeling that people are probably used to, at this point ?)
You are conflating "blameless culture" and blameless retrospectives culture.

You can 100% blame people for doing bad things. But in an engineering incident you want to find the RCA.

In SDE you may find the single git commit that took down everything, it has a author. Fine, there is blame. But why was there no review, no unit tests, no functional tests, QA, etc....

So you fire the engineer but make no other changes and it happens again, how is that helpful?
I would hope that within 30 years (2055), we’ll have effective treatments.

Of course, 25 years ago, I would have thought modern medicine would have advanced more by now

It would be cheaper to cure the disease than treat the symptoms in all the people who are going to suffer from the disease.
Blame-oriented cultures result in people hiding problems, which makes them worse in the long run.

That doesn’t mean people aren’t accountable for their actions in “blameless” cultures, but problems are first assumed to be the result of systemic issues, deserving to be fixed, rather than individual issues, deserving to be punished.

I am productionizing a golang project which I have working ... it parses an input image at the pixel level to synthesize its audio equivalent ... inspired by a 3Blue1Brown video on Hilbert Curves ... as it traverses the entire image pixel by pixel it assigns to each pixel an audio frequency which it increments for next pixel ... in doing so it collapses the 2D image into a 1D line of pixels ... then it engages audio oscillators at each element of this line at the assigned frequency with volume determined by the light intensity of the respective source pixel ... it then aggregates all these audio tones into a single tone which represents the source input image ( inverse Fourier Transform ) ... entire process above is reversible so the system can go from image to audio as well as audio to image ... goal is to allow Blind people to see with their ears ... alternatively it can allow the Deaf to hear with their eyes ...
What a strange take.

Classic symptoms of anxiety from the sleep deprivation, no?

I've also found that there's a lag on recovering from sleep deprivation, where the first night of good sleep often leaves me feeling foggy and lethargic the next day. After 2 or 3, that energy and positivity returns - not sure if that's idiosyncratic or not.
Because admitting that right/centre-right views are democratically popular would mean they'd actually have to grapple with the issues going on. It's cheaper and easier to make comparisons with the Nazis and play to the raw outrage of their readership than actually engage in real journalism.
Depends on where you live... in Graz the KPÖ (Communist Party of Austria) was elected a while ago.

In Salzburg there was a mayor-election that ended in a second ballot between the SPÖ (socialist party of austria) and the KPÖ candidate.

The FPÖ is mostly voted by the people in rural areas that have never seen an asylum seeker... similar to how the rural people voted for Erdogan and how the rural people vote for Putin...

“ The most practical solution is to use a physical keyboard, via Mac Virtual Screen or connecting one directly, but this is a bandaid solution. ”

Just silly. If you cannot easily input data without and extra accessory than it’s just a fail in this case. Imagine building the headset and then booking up a keyboard and then sitting next to an outlet because it doesn’t hold a charge very long…… almost like using a laptop may be more efficient.

This is all sage advice except #7 "avoid monorepos" doesn't resonate with me. I worked at a seed level startup for 2 years and we used a monorepo for everything. I felt like it saved me a bunch of time vs my current employer with 400+ repos.

I could potentially* get behind a logic of splitting unique web services into their own repo, but for libraries I find separate repos to be a huge unnecessary overhead.

*potentially, as in I still prefer a monorepo for everything but I can see valid arguments for this one case

Unix pipes have built in back pressure. A very simplified view, assuming blocking calls and single threads: if the process on the left side of the pipe produces data too fast and fills up the buffer, the operating system won’t give it any additional CPU cycles, until the program on the right side of the pipe caught up with reading and freed up the buffer.

Things become more complicated when multi-threading and / or asynchronous IO gets involved. If the producer on the left side of the pipe has multiple threads, e.g., one writer thread and multiple worker threads, producing data for the writer thread. Then it has to invent its own signaling between the different threads, to avoid throwing away data, when its internal buffers fill up. This is effectively a kind of back pressure.

In your example with the lever and the parser: if the lexer is multi threaded, you either need unlimited buffer for the tokens or some signaling for the threads, to slow down when the parser cannot keep up. This example is a bit artificial, since most languages don’t allow parallel lexers. But with parallel compilers and one (incremental) linker, this becomes more realistic.
Interesting tidbit, but penicillin has it beat by about 50 years.
True. Also, for a typical web page, over 90% of user-perceived latency occurs AFTER the HTML has been fetched, unzipped, and parsed. That doesn't mean minification and compression are worthless, but it may help put things in perspective.

Ask HN: Next 6 days in SF, AI meetup/coffee?
Hey everyone, I'm in San Francisco the next 6 days. Is there any way to spontaneously meet / grab a coffee with anyone in an AI/eingineering role? I value talks in person much more than a digital meeting and landing a job in one of the promising big AI houses has been my dream for the past 5 years. I have 5 years of experience across industries, all with a focus on ML, plus bsc and msc in physics with a focus on RL. So far neither simple applications nor cold outreaches helped me get to one of the companies I want to reach. I applied to a bunch again before this trip, but wanted to also just reach out here.

I am currently tech Lead in a small startup in Germany. Been actively job hunting for a year now.
Like the article says, it‘s very likely that the FPÖ will win the next election. Even optimistic liberals share this expectation.

Every time there are important elections I keep reading that Austria is sliding towards far-right.

I don't remember when was the first time I heard this, but it was a while ago and I guess it was the first time in the 21st century that Austria chose a far-right PM. Don't know the repercussions, but I guess this is a common thing?

And why is it such a huge thing that Austria is shifting towards far-right? I know it's a problem for most countries, but is there anything important about Austria shifting towards this end of the political spectrum?
