I'm not saying it'd be easy, or that it'd scale to a massive company, but then I don't think we should have such massive companies which is another discussion.

The examples you give are more like every employee getting to decide what they feel like working on. The idea would be for employees, as the ones almost always closest to customers, to define what they see as mattering most.

You have to remember that OKRs aren't just tasks. Ideas from the bottom up would include what they see as most important along with why its important and how success will be measured.

All of the examples you gave could be great examples if they are complete. Publish more open source to break into a new market or improve code maintainability. Migrate to a new library to fix long standing performance issues or unlock a new feature set. Redactor for readability to reduce code review time or speed up new feature development.

Other, more customer focused, examples could be to improve docs to reduce customer churn or improve discoverability for new users. Maybe you help in a support channel on Slack or Discord and find a ton of users asking for some specific integration, its very easy for you to see that pattern but hard for someone at the top to see it or assign it value.

Pushing down orders from the top is easier, and better at stoking ego. Hiring and developing your team well so you can honestly take their recommendations and craft the next 6 months of marketing or define a new product direction that ties together what your team has seen is much, much harder but an amazing strategy if done right IMO.
They didn't and they didn't.
I still haven't found an environment which lets you build the system as seamlessly as SBCL. The REPL allows you to build the code at runtime and update the system in place. Since I was a solodev, bug fixing and building the thing without going on the wrong path was worth I think months and years of my time.

edit: Once you get the idea of a running Lisp image and you are updating the image it's a game changer. You are not writing a program, then compiling it and then running it anymore (even though those steps happen seamlessly).
Yeah it is objectively not cool, but I have to say that I'd have tried it too.

Tbf, I am less worried about CS (I already do a lot of technology stuff to solve my IRL problems, not necessarily coding related either - media servers and such), but more about other sciences.

It’s all housing. This doesn’t apply to the average HN millionaire in 600k a year but for normal people to get the life affordable on a single average salary in the 90s requires a double salary earning far more.

But sure you’ve got Netflix rather than cable tv so I guess that offsets it.

So you're telling me it can't validate the license without internet connection. Which means you lose the access to the software you paid for if the authentication servers are dead.

Great times.
They actually do have cross game party chat these days, just FYI. Just make the party and then hop into the game. Support is a little inconsistent as games are not forced to support the feature, though.
This is what the WEF meant when they said “You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.”

It’s not all bad really. As someone in the US living the middle class “American Dream” honestly it’s too much stuff. I don’t want so many things and am constantly looking for ways to minimize possessions.
"Best" and "most expensive" are not necessarily correlated. Plenty of companies will sell you $100 worth of stuff for $500, especially in this era of fly by night brand names sold on no-liability marketplaces.

There are plenty of people (I know a few) who will buy very expensive items that they don't understand in the hope it will solve all their problems or in lieu of skill. Experts often have a more nuanced take: match the requirements with what the product offers and no further.
I think asking questions like that for rhetorical effect works in other places, but people here prefer to treat all questions as actual good-faith questions. Even ones that are clearly intended as rhetorical, like yours.

So, I don’t think they are misunderstanding you. It is almost like calling your bluff.

It is an interesting convention.

I don’t dislike these kinds of questions normally. But they do typically lead to a little bit of back and forth. On this site, most interactions are typically only 2-3 posts long. So I think it is better to just state your opinions directly.

I game quite a bit and had access to multiple headsets at home because of the work my wife did, for a couple years. Official permission to use the hardware for whatever.

I tried beat saber for like 10 minutes and never bothered with anything else. The headset’s just too big a hassle, and blocking out the world sucks a lot.

Plus I can’t help but think of the VR headset guy from the Pearl Jam video “Do the Evolution” when I look at the damn things.

Kinda like how I think of the dad from Serial Experiments Lain any time one of my kids walks in and I’m in front of a glowing screen.

> A common view among Gen Z or younger Millennials I know is that not only will you have a lower quality of life than your parents (and your kids probably will too), you'll have a lower quality of life even to elder Millennials (who happened to enter the housing market 5 years earlier than you).

This meme has reached the level of conventional wisdom, so any response feels a bit like trying to empty the Atlantic Ocean with a thimble, but the evidence that Gen Z and Millennials are in any way materially worse off than their parents is very weak.

They are, in fact, doing quite well:

https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2024/04/16/g...

And that's before we account for the truly massive and unprecedented wealth transfer that's about to happen when the Boomers really start dying in big numbers.

When it's all said and done Millennials are going to be the richest generation of all time and still talking about how uniquely bad they have it, which I guess is the most Millennial thing imaginable.
Really impressive, congratulations. How many hours of TLC went into building this?
It feels like any form of recycling water would mean pumping water back uphill, which is energy-intensive, at least relative to the current model of "just pull water from Lake Gatú and assume it never runs out".

But using less water in the first place, I'm curious what approaches might exist.

Why would the proxies that ESG uses to determine "bad governance" or "unsustainability" be any better than the ones the market comes up all by itself?

Moreover, voluntarily internalizing externalities such CO2/environmental costs (beyond what is mandated by regulation) is likely to be a detriment to profitability, which is why the market can't solve that on its own in the first place.
>Generally it's much quicker for a country's nationals to enter a border than foreigners.

The UK is somewhat unusual in letting nationals of a number of countries, including the US, simply scan their passports at an electronic barrier and pass through without speaking to anyone, essentially the same as their own nationals; it usually just takes a few seconds. Many EU countries do this for EU and sometimes other European nationals, but rarely for the US.

The US is rather unusual in having their own nationals need to go through a non-trivial border control process, even with Global Entry. However, this is in part because many European countries have separate border control and customs processes, with border control before baggage reclaim, while the US tends to have them combined.
Animals usually realise there is something off about a trap. They interact with it extremely cautiously, sometimes leaving it for a few nights and then coming back.

Eventually their desire for whats in the trap overcomes their caution and they put their head in.
Macros that are giving you some value can be ok. In this case, once the performance conclusion is reached, the only reason to continue using a macro is if you really need the `final`ity to vary between builds. Otherwise, just delete it or use the actual keyword.

(But I'm worse than the author; if I'm just comparing performance, I'd probably put `final` everywhere applicable and then do separate compiles with `-Dfinal=` and `-Dfinal=final`... I'd be making the assumption that it's something I either always or never want eventually, though.)
Good info, thank you.

I wonder if this means that Tesla will eventually become primarily an EV charging platform company. Despite being the owner of an EV for the last 8 years who will likely never buy an ICE car again, I can't see myself ever buying a Tesla vehicle in their current form. But I'm very interested in non-Tesla EVs with access to Tesla chargers.
> A bit more open than the Apple ecosystem

It is not "a bit more open" than iOS, it is a completely different approach to OS development that enables wildly different results.

> While theoretically open, the real useful stuff on top of Android

That stuff is by no means necessary; I've run Android without Google services for years and it just feels like a normal tablet OS. Again, it is not "theoretically open" but in fact practically usable without any first-party services, unlike iOS.
Battery tech is likely to prevent that within our lifetimes, even if the displays and electronics can be miniaturised to that level.

25 km/h is often slower than a mechanical bike if the rider and bike are both in good shape. The goal is not to keep up with car traffic; Germany has dedicated bike lanes on larger roads, and cars are expected to wait their turn on narrow ones.
!-suffixed being dangerous is a rails convention (throws exception). !-suffixed methods are a ruby convention for instance mutation. Calling mutation dangerous isn't a justification for your argument, as there are intrinsic benefits to using those where justified and contained, such as memory savings.
Hi, I've come across an open-source API-driven RAG framework launched recently. It's different from other frameworks in a lot of context. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts: https://github.com/truefoundry/cognita
The difference here though is I don't think AR/VR will ever become as ubiquitous for general purpose computing as laptops and smartphones.
For most companies maximizing shareholder value and making customers happy are highly correlated. No amount of AI features will save their stock performance if their customer base stalls.

Broadcom-like companies (monopoly) and Google-like companies (you are the product bla bla bla) are exeptions though.
No. Huawei gear is not allowed in US telcos because American telco kit suppliers lobbied for such a ban.

American crusade against Huawei happened the same year Huawei broke the record for most phones sold, surpassing Apple.
Perception of twitter got bad enough that people are seriously considering alternatives.
When I first learned about how complicated cartridges were it blew my mind. Each cartridge cost $10-25 to make, and N64 was even more expensive. For years now though the cost of delivering the game itself has been essentially 0. It's just wild to me that a huge percentage of the price of a game went to 'nobody' in a way, and just to buying the chips it took to make the cartridge. It likely made up a bigger cut then actually went to the developer of the game.

I don't like most productivity/to-do-list tools because they usually require a huge time investment. Particularly for the initial setup but also day to day.

I wanted to create something simple where I can hit record while I make my coffee and blabber about all the things I have to complete that day. I transcribe the audio and feed it to chatGPT to create events & tasks for you.

I charge the lowest amount that makes sense to me, which would just about break even for a heavy user using it every day of the month.

It's difficult to discuss this stuff because the impact can be negligible or negative for one person, but large and consistently positive for another. You can only usefully discuss it on a given baseline, and for something like final I would hope that baseline would be a project that already enjoys PGO, LTO, and BOLT.

Yesterday i was close to buying a Pico 4 (Cheaper non meta Quest 3 equivalent), then i realised there has been zero fully triple a games since my friend blew me away with a Half Life Alyx demo 4 years ago.

I find it incredible there's still only 1 actual "serious" VR game - lots of people then recommended Skyrim VR, a game from 2011.

Is VR gaming in an absolute standstill?

Mostly... don't have non-tech people lead the initiative and it has a greate chance of being secure. Ensuring it's a product manager who has enough deep tech experience would further de-risk it.

There's often a tradeoff between security and convenience. Maybe it's a drop bin once something goes in it.

Retail has a large set of known problems with theft, re-labeling, etc. Not sure how many of them could be solved vs how much theft retailers are willing to tolerate.
> In fact I’d rather it were the default in C++, and there was some sort of an opposite (‘derivable’?) keyword instead

Kotlin (which uses the equivalent of the Java "final" keyword by default) uses the "open" keyword for that purpose.

This is peak hackernews right here. No, modern developers couldn't just "easily jump back into writing everything in asm". More importantly, no one was talking about writing everything in assembly, he was complaining about 20 GB of bloat getting dumped on everyone who buys a game.

Which is also why national security (and think of the children) is used to justify whatever they feel like. Any mention of either turns off the critical thinking parts for a large fraction of the population.

Stuff you wear 8h a day while sweating in it due to hard labor, every day? Unless you can magically change whole interior of the boots, that ain't a good proposition at all.

I do hiking and other mountain sports a lot, wear top notch european stuff from ultra light to heavy full leather huge&heavy boots (sorry no good US products in this area sold anywhere in Europe that I am aware of), but happy to change them once every few years, the best I got on Meindl ones was 10 years. Its not just exterior that goes to crap over time, its everything and keeping them forever is unhygienic.

Also don't understand your logic - people overall spend more on lower quality equipment long term. The phrase 'I am not rich enough to buy cheap stuff' is solid one and confirmed endless times across every aspect of existence.
I find this argument to be fiction. The training data does not matter. Let’s say it all came from art that was sold for pennies. Or from another country where it was legalized. Do you really think artists are going to feel differently if they’re in the same boat but confident that “their” art was not used without consent?

No.

The problem is the economic impact on artists.

I'd speculate the two things have a lot to do with each other. It's easier to avoid accusations of monopolizing software distribution on a platform when you've openly invited other parties to participate.
I'm skeptical about working out with a headset, at all. There are probably some good use cases, but I'm just mentally going through the stuff I'm doing at a gym, and I think that typically a headset would be either a hazard or a gimmick of questionable usefulness.
Why? Is it mostly because of Haskell's purity (side-effect-freeness), so optimizations can change expressions more freely and safely?

I don't do much C++, but I have definitely found that engineers will just assert that something is "faster" without any evidence to back that up.

Quick example, I got in an argument with someone a few years ago that claimed in C# that a `switch` was better than an `if(x==1) elseif(x==2)...` because switch was "faster" and rejected my PR. I mentioned that that doesn't appear to be true, we went back and forth until I did a compile-then-decompile of a minimal test with equality-based-ifs, and showed that the compiler actually converts equality-based-ifs to `switch` behind the scenes. The guy accepted my PR after that.

But there's tons of this stuff like this in CS, and I kind of blame professors for a lot of it [1]. A large part of becoming a decent engineer [2] for me was learning to stop trusting what professors taught me in college. Most of what they said was fine, but you can't assume that; what they tell you could be out of date, or simply never correct to begin with, and as far as I can tell you have to always test these things.

It doesn't help that a lot of these "it's faster" arguments are often reductive because they only are faster in extremely minimal tests. Sometimes a microbenchmark will show that something is faster, and there's value in that, but I think it's important that that can also be a small percentage of the total program; compilers are obscenely good at optimizing nowadays, it can be difficult to determine when something will be optimized, and your assertion that something is "faster" might not actually be true in a non-trivial program.

This is why I don't really like doing any kind of major optimizations before the program actually works. I try to keep the program in a reasonable Big-O and I try and minimize network calls cuz of latency, but I don't bother with any kind of micro-optimizations in the first draft. I don't mess with bitwise, I don't concern myself on which version of a particular data structure is a millisecond faster, I don't focus too much on whether I can get away with a smaller sized float, etc. Once I know that the program is correct, then I benchmark to see if any kind of micro-optimizations will actually matter, and often they really don't.

[1] That includes me up to about a year ago.

[2] At least I like to pretend I am.
> dexterous enough to fix each other.

Dexterity isn't the issue, it's the lack of training content. Also, I would be happy with a real-time feed of a robot telling ME, a dexterous being, what I should do to repair something. I don't have access to such technology.
