> The important thing to know is that config.h/Makefile generation is
complex mainly because of API portability issues that have been mostly
obsolesced by increasing standardization around C99 and SuSv2 (the
Single Unix Standard, version 2, descended from POSIX).
Standardization on GNU Make has also addressed some (though not all)
of the portability issues in Makefiles.

Generating config.h was maybe a good idea in the 90s (I'm not convinced). But in this day and age it's a mistake.

These days all of my projects support Windows, mac, linux, and Android. Zero of them use autotools or generate a config.h. The whole concept of "discover capabilities of the system" is bad, broken, and these days unnecessary. Any type of "glue" code to abstract across slight differences between targets shouldn't be handled by the build system. It should be written by one person once ever and committed to source.

Building computer programs doesn't have to be complex and painful. The primary reason people think it's complex is because our build tools are stuck in the 90s.
The point is to enable markets for the technologies (many existing today!) that would let you time-shift effectively. Smart lights and smart thermostats are nifty gimmicks today; if electricity cost 100x more at primetime, they'd become critical investments. Insulating and air-sealing your home is known technology, but often not cost-effective when you can just burn a little more natural gas. Workplace charging is a perk, not a deciding factor for where people choose to accept a job. If the consequences of people's decisions were priced into the cost of them, people might make different decisions.
Setting aside the 'how' that's certainly what the outcome has been, at least in the UK.

This is a great analogy I haven’t heard it before. They think it’s like that quick work where you check your calendar and throw in your two cents on an email chain. It’s not. Much more like holding a meeting.
I think it's the opposite, the ruinous callousness that sees able bodied homeless sleeping on the street and thinking they're a problem that needs to be eliminated. Instead of thinking why is an able bodied man or woman not be able to afford to sleep indoors.

This is how I feel with everything these days. Default computer operating systems are the pits. A lot of it was paved with good intentions; enable better user workflows, increase visibility, provide better default apps, that sorta thing. But now everything is a service, on every platform you use!

Spending time on Linux, I get exposed to nothing. No live-tiles, no news notifications, nobody asking me to Try the New Safari. It's just... a computer. I feel the author's culture-shock every time I hear a Mac or Windows user try and rationalize their $99/year to-do list app to me. Is this really where computers are headed for us, and humanity at large?
That's an important way of looking at it, and is correct as far as traditional UNIX operations like fopen go. But it isn't the whole story because many other operations require treating paths as text. For example, converting them to URIs, putting them in ZIP files, or looking up a file on a filesystem which internally stores filenames in UCS-2.

Threading both of these needles at once basically requires viewing paths as potentially-invalid encoded text.

Aside from what has already been suggested, you could consider reading selected chapters of Intel's programmer manual. I personally read through the whole thing once (well, skimmed some parts).

> the manager is the agent and is assumed to have the firm's best interests in mind, but in reality doesn't.

Every manager I had at every major multinational company only had the interest of their own career progression in mind, not the company's, not their team's. You as an employee under them were just a means to their goal, nothing more. I naively assumed that making them look good and doing the overtime when needed to achieve their idiotic deadlines would also guarantee my ascension later, but boy was I gullible and wrong.

Going the extra mile for your boss might work out for you when everything goes smooth in the org in times of economic prosperity when there's room for everyone to move up, but when the org or economy went tits up, and things were being put on chopping block, those managers didn't hesitate to grab the only parachute for themselves and let their team sink or throw them under the bus to save themselves at the tune of "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish", so I learned the valuable lesson to not go the extra mile for any boss unless I have written guarantees of a reward.

It's the way the reward system is set up in these companies. Climb the ladder and kick it under you after you dangle the carrot in front of naive idiots to push you up that ladder for rewards they might never see. I think someone called it "the GE way".
> Why do you think rent to income increased 2x in L25y?

I didn't say I think this happened, I just gave example with "if", in reality change may be not as extreme, but even say 20% change on average meaning that certain slice of population was downsizing because was affected dramatically.

I think these stats are not even and can be heavily sliced by region/social slice, e.g. in silicon valley rent definitely raised 2-3 times in last 15 years, but blue color workers didn't receive equal raise in wages.
> Legality aside, there are a not insignificant number of people who truly believe that private industry is invariably better than government at providing virtually any good or service, and that government involvement in anything that could be done privately is by definition harmful

Given the type of government service they’re going to get—one run by New Yorkers, not Swedes or Japanese—are they wrong? Their frame of reference is the MTA (which runs subways that are late 15% of the time), the NYCHA, which runs some of the worst slums in the country, and NYC DOE which has a graduation rate worse than the subway’s on-time performance.

Maybe there’s a reason there is a market for the message “hey, however bad Spectrum is, imagine the city government running your broadband.”
They're very unpopular with consumers, who are allergic to price increases and particularly to variable price increases. Look at the blowback to Wendy's surge pricing on burgers, or to Uber surge pricing, or to toilet paper scalpers in COVID, or to any notion that you might lose your job and need to retrain in a different one in response to changes in the economy.

The last thing a politician wants to do is lose an election, and losing an election is usually what happens when you suggest that the electorate bear the consequences of their behavior. As a result, we usually drive straight off a cliff, have a war or societal collapse, and then whoever survives it can go build a new system out of the rubble.

The chain of logic is falsified by the Whitney cotton gin: it was a labour saving device, which saved enough labour to make cotton much more profitable, which led to the growth of the cotton plantations in southern USA, which led to increased slavery, and those slavers actively prevented their slaves from learning to read.

That said, I would also agree with the conclusion that "a growing percentage of people will have no jobs that they are capable of doing", but for different reasons.

I expect the abilities of AI to expand over time.

IQ is a poor measure, but suitable as a shorthand especially for a comment like this.

Imagine a general purpose AI that runs as fast as a human on 100 watt hardware; first one will be an idiot. Let's say IQ 50: only 0.1% of humans are dumber than this, nobody was employing them anyway. Version 2, say IQ 85: now about 16% are beaten by the AI, this absolutely matters, they're unemployable forever through no fault of their own, give them a basic income of some kind. Version 3, IQ 100, now half the world can't get work. Version 4, IQ 115, now it's 84% who can't get work, etc.

Reality is a lot messier than that, so nobody needs to bother picking holes in the specific details such as "that's a lot of electricity" or "AI isn't a robot" or "comparative advantage": this is a comment, not a research paper.
> Eating 2000 calories of carbs is super easy.

Is it? That’s about 10 cups of cooked plain boiled rice.

I think carbs only hit the “easy to hit 2k” mark when it’s sugar (maybe?) or when it’s added with fat, especially fried foods.

> Eating 2000 calories of chicken breast is painfully hard.

I think this is about 7 cups of boiled, skinless breast of chicken.

I think this gets back to fat, or lack thereof.

For me personally, lean proteins don’t really fill me up — I have knocked back a pound of chicken breast with fresh veggies and I was hungry a few hours later. It’s mainly fats that do the trick for me for feeling sated — nuts, fat in meat, cheese, oil (esp. for roasting vegetables), etc.

Does it support DICOM as input files?

I was provided MRI DICOM files a month ago via the radiology office's used SaaS platform, Sectra PatientPortal.

After the MRI session I was given a login code. Back home, I could use that code on the Sectra PatientPortal.

It provides a very basic DICOM image web viewer (contrast/dynamic range modification and slice scrolling, four windows), albeit 2D only, and download of the DICOM files as well as PNG exports.

I am looking for a web-based or Linux-based FLOSS DICOM viewer, but couldn't find any professional program so far.

It's nowhere near the price differential that wholesale is, though. Last I checked, PG&E charged 62c/kwh at peak, and 52c/kwh off-peak. Back in 2020 it was 29c/kwh peak and 22c/kwh off-peak. That's roughly a 25% difference, but the actual wholesale price is off by several factors.
Oh, that's simple.

Take me for example: I never used Google Reader. I used Google Reader a lot.

Thing is, I never used GR on my desktop, FeedDemon was always a better experience.
But on the go (in that short time it was available) I wanted to have the same feeds and, of course, the same un/read statuses. And Google Reader was a perfect sync service first and good enough RSS reader second.

Sure, there were a lot of attempts at that time, but... Feedly, which was pushed as the best great thing after sliced bread^W^W GR didn't run good on my RAZR (if at all, I think I abandoned it when it started to sat down on the loding splash) and there were no desktop version. Other apps (which names eludes me) were no better, at least for me.
And the most important part is what they lacked the integrated sync what was available to you as a Gmail (sic!) user, so it was some other sync provider, if at all.

So for a short time when there were no king the RSS lost a lot of it's momentum for the consumers of the feeds. Some years later the alternatives matured, but the time of RSS has gone. People moved to podcasts, Twitter and whatever and RSS was no longer even a necessary tech to implement.

It means they're exporting zero CO2 solar power and offsetting fossil-fuel-based-generation in the other state. You'll see that the imports value is also negative (implying exports).

This obviously doesn’t help your situation but there are a few toxic personality traits that I would not hesitate to remove from a team. “Cannot take constructive criticism” is one of them.

Something you may try (and indeed I try before firing people) is a conflict resolution strategy (lots of good ones out there). But something like “I felt x when you did y. I need z, I believe you need a. What can I do to help you?” Can work. Sometimes feeling heard is enough for a run-of-the-mill a*hole to realize you are also a person.
The ratio/prioritisation of detail in cities to shorelines seems oddly skewed towards including more cities over having accurate borders or shorelines

It's showing an entire province in the Netherlands as disconnected from the rest of the country, like it's an island (it's not), but knows to name five cities inside of that province, several of which basically on top of each other. (The inclusion of the afsluitdijk, on the other hand, is unnecessary detail imo but I get that it's hard to programmatically select those tweaks about what's considered land which it needs to draw and just some sea infrastructure)

I should open a ticket on the issue tracker but am not logged in on mobile so the best I can do atm is an HN comment. If someone else has a moment and feels the same way, feel free to cite this comment towards shifting the ratio a little! Or introducing a minimum separation distance between cities, or getting a smaller overall file, whatever the ideal solution may be but the current ratio is a tad unnecessary

Worse than the physical harm caused from working at a desk?

I've never driven a Lorry, but I did drive for a living, and also drive long distances regularly.

But I find my car seat much more comfortable than my desk chair, and my posture much better in the car than one I can maintain while sitting at a desk and typing.

Of course, if you're doing very long drives you may not get as many opportunities to stand up and stretch your legs, but I'd imagine lorry drivers would have this opportunity once every hour or so.
The speedup would not be that high in practice for folks already using speculative decoding[1]. ANPD is similar but uses a simpler and faster drafting approach. These two enhancements can't be meaningfully stacked. Here's how the paper describes it:

> ANPD dynamically generates draft outputs via an adaptive N-gram module using real-time statistics, after which the drafts are verified by the LLM. This characteristic is exactly the difference between ANPD and the previous speculative decoding methods.

ANPD does provide a more general-purpose solution to drafting that does not require training, loading, and running draft LLMs.

~20 years ago I worked on commercial software for email security that was using MzScheme (before it became PLT Scheme) as the base language. Code was cross-platform (Solaris, Linux, HP-UX) - OS-specific code was in C, with about 1k lines. Filter rules were compiled into Scheme itself. The whole code was about 30k LoC, including web based UI, and only had 5-6 developers… Later I immigrated and joined company that had similar product with less features with code in C++, with hundred thousand LoC and more developers.
Then surely the answer should be that there should be a config setting that disables it, with the option to do something like "WITH FORCE" which would force enable it in the environment even with that config setting enabled. This gives the best of both worlds, in that it stops people from copying blindly from Stack Overflow, but doesn't give the sense of security that it initially seems to imply.
The text message conversations between the chapters are good.

The chapters themselves are oddly twee, as if written in the 1950s. I think it's the parts where you talk to the reader in the present tense, to directly describe the characters, that give that impression. It's kind of babying for something generally written at a YA level.

In fact you mix present and past tense from the first paragraph, that's not good, choose one and stick to it.

I'm not at all sure about that cat flipping the switch, either. How does it generate more than one 0 or 1 in a row?

Also: when we mix red paint with green paint, it becomes gray-brown paint, not yellow paint. When we mix red light with green light it becomes (perceptually) yellow light, because that's additive mixing, which does not apply to paint. OTOH perhaps this future art studio uses digital paint, which might work how you want it to, but that's not made clear.

In holacracy you have lead links which partially fulfill that role. And of course nothing prevents you from creating roles that are accountable for other managerial tasks. As a lead link you can do relative prioritizations (X is more important than Y), assign / remove people from roles and other things.

The problem with too many layers of management is mainly that they stop doing what they should do. Making decisions.

The lowest management layer cannot make any decisions alone, otherwise the next layer would have no reason to exist. The next layer might even have to hand over the decision to one layer above. Up there no one really understands the decision that needs to be made because they are too far away from the actual impact. The result is that the decision is not made at all. Instead they procrastinate by asking for more details about the decision and the options.

If you have only one layer you get a decision very fast.
