That's not really very good advice. It's good to have a wide vocabulary, but substituting one phrase for another isn't really an improvement. The words mean something slightly different. Poetry happens when you choose precisely the word you want.

Even better is to avoid the adjective entirely, unless that is precisely what you want. Usually a poet will want to stir the emotion, which is better shown than told. You have to dig really deep to find a way to express what that sadness means, which will usually not involve the word "sad" at all. Use of the word "very" is a strong hint that you have more to say by phrasing it entirely differently.

He's right about the wooing women, though. Not literally, but that's the right way to teach teenage boys. Women dig men who communicate well.

Telegram had some weird primitives which they said we should trust because they were made by their top team of mathematicians. Signal builds on widely used crypto primitives even if their protocol is their own (vetted by actual cryptographers though)
And there are people who'll buy $10 watch for $10k and then will come to forums to comment how brilliant they are.
No, it doesn't save an awful lot at small scale(in my gut feeling <200 units). Engineering time saving far outweighs paying $4 extra for Pico.
I’m not letting a Lenovo product on my home network, even if I was given one for free.
Don't forget about our terrible marvels. We have a red button in Washington and if we press it, within 15 minutes we can turn half of the cities on the planet into a burning hellscape.
But was it Amiga's chipset the noncompetitive part? My recollection from that era was that graphics/sound capabilities of the era were far ahead of the PC, but PC had better CPUs, which was a problem of Intel vs Motorola.

Anyway, in the early 90s my father wisely chose PC over Amiga to replace our aging ZX Spectrum. The reason - PC was open and easier to upgrade. Maybe that's what actually killed Amiga and Atari ST.
If you’re not using a language that can properly support algebraic structures and randomized property-based testing you’re essentially getting no guarantees about your code from tests. You wrote the code, you wrote the tests, they’re equally likely to be incorrect.
+1 on being more productive with chat than Copilot.

I find copilot mostly to be a useful Google replacement, e.g. if I forget the syntax for a for loop in JavaScript I can just write a comment like `// For loop over X` and it will spit out the boilerplate I need without breaking my flow.

In either case it's really important not to get stuck "trying to make it do what I want". If an LLM can't solve your problem in 3 tries, you're probably asking too much of it.
I've been putting together another oncall improvement, for a completely different area: making the scheduling of oncall work better (oncallscheduler.com). I'm trying to get feedback from people who work oncall about:
1. Is the scheduling of oncall work a significant pain point, and worth making more fair, predictable, and controllable by everybody.
2. Does the solution oncallscheduler.com is built on make sense?
If you can spare a few mins, I would love it if you sent any thoughts to kristian@timewesp.com.
The Waking Up app has up to a 100% scholarship rate for the subscription with no questions asked (you can pick your rate if you so choose).

Their philosophy on monetization is that they don't want anyone who can't afford it to be excluded, but are still putting out a valuable service and it's fair to charge money for it.

I'm a very happy paying user of the app, and I deeply appreciate their willingness to give it away to people who can't afford it.
Is there a way to search for lawsuits from shareholders when the price per share of going private was less than 30%? There's probably no mathematical model here but more a way for the sale to insulate itself from getting dragged into litigation.
I assume all the downvotes because you are envy of the nick name too.
It also depends on what tools a developer is already using as a productivity booster.

For example, I use vanilla web components which have some boilerplate for new components.

I already have a simple vscode snippet that does the job well, with no hallucinations [1]. I've experimented with llms doing the same thing with not great results.

It took me longer to explain what I wanted than it did for me to just write that snippet. Doing it repeatedly and waiting for the results definitely didn't increase my speed, though I was impressed that it was eventually able to figure it out (vanilla web components with lit-html renderer isn't a super common technique). Also, I prefer the pythonic approach of snake-case local variable names. Getting the llm to do that in a js project where it's not super common was another whole iteration.

We've had code generation tools around for decades to deal with repetitive boilerplate tasks. Maybe they aren't quite as capable as when the llm "gets it right" - but I wonder with these productivity claims how they are measured.

Are they starting from zero and a new developer? Or comparing against an experienced developer with proficiency with lots of workflow enhancers like templates, snippets, vim macros, etc...

Commodores monumental incompetence killed the Amiga. It would have been comical if it wasn’t so sad.
Don't overlook Bottlerocket, which despite coming out of AWS is not (AFAIK) AWS-centric: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket#readme

It's also super handy for writing out static Pod manifests to have replace the brain-damaging Ignition as a less stupid alternative to cloud-init
If the scraper uses a headless browser, I think that it might defeat your method. That said, using a headless browser to crawl for emails is relatively expensive so perhaps the spam is not from your site.
Don't be childish. It's just the truth.
That covers the cancellation of Apollo, but the fact that we didn't even put an uncrewed lander on the Moon within the 50 years in between is indicative of a lack of general interest, since we've had several presidents in these 50 years.

Still, this did lead me to the discovery that apparently the often made claim that viewership of the landings waned after Apollo 11 doesn't seem to have any clear evidence besides the point that Apollo 11 had the highest live viewer count until apparently the most recent Superbowl. The EVA camera was damaged in Apollo 12, and 13 was just poorly covered by the media until the crew encountered trouble.
Replacing shipped blueberries with locally farmed ones definitely could be a wash or a loss, environmentally, for sure I agree there. But we have relatively efficient industrial scale farming in the US as well, if we admitted that blueberries are seasonal we could grow them in big efficient farms and then just ship them less far.
Hi. Thank you for the question. + this comment?
1. Never sell it. See text in the post. I know this is normal in the US, but way less so where I/we are from in Scandinavia. There's a fair mistrust given the norms in other countries, but as said in the post, I would rather abandon the project then start selling the data.
2. The data of the personality profiles gets processed anonymously. You as a user cannot even access the anonymous-results directly, there's an encrypted service in between the data-points, fetching only select data.
3. Everything is encrypted, on device, from device to servers, and on servers.
In reality there's a big difference between saying "I want to die in some unforeseeable future" and "I want to die tomorrow"

If you can still see your family, if you can still enjoy an afternoon sitting in the sunshine, if you really want watch the next episode of Shogun, you aren't going to be willing to give up that last bit of existence. Not yet.
> So don't put it in the same table.

Nope, this suggestion sucks. Meaning I have to come up w/ table structure that caters to front-end API.
Better idea is to create schemas, e.g. `public_users` and create views inside.

> You don't use version control and a test suite?

that's what I'm saying... we have like a 1k migration files already, what I want instead is
`my-function.sql` that always has the current code and will automatically generate necessary migrations and shenanigans, so I don't have to worry about it.
Consider this for a while longer yourself. Even if many such paintings have been made in easily accessible locations and they do not survive for this reason, the fact remains that more than a few cave paintings have turned up in locations that are very inaccessible and were likely also very inaccessible at the time they were made. The paintings appear to be complex enough that they cannot be discarded as merely graffiti by people who found themselves in an inaccessible location by accident and wanted to leave a mark.

Survivor bias explains why these paintings still exist. It does not explain why they were made.
That is a compilation of solo releases. I don't believe Nimoy and Shatner ever directly collaborated on a musical release.
Have you tried Paperless NGX?
Exchange rate doesn’t mean anything if the prices adjust for it. Have they not had any price changes following the devaluation of their currency?
It's hard to give significant advice with this little information - how much time the CPUs spend waiting for the memory, how many cache misses are happening, how many core execution units are doing something at any given time, etc.

HPE has single-image machines that can have up to 16 4th gen Xeons, which gives a top limit of 960 cores. IBM has POWER10 boxes that go up to 240 cores (but they are POWER 10 cores that can do, IIRC, up to 8 threads per core (increasing cache misses, but reducing unused execution units).
I think both the old EU and books for the current canon have explicitly mentioned this, actually.
They absolutely did box themselves into a corner, and also, they had no god damn money

The 1st gen products (500/1000) never caught on in the world's largest market. They were always struggling.

You may want to try widening your social circles if this is a recurring theme in your life. Making friends as an adult is hard and making intimate connections sometimes even harder. The best thing I did for myself and my dating/personal life was get involved in charity work. You get to give back, meet people and improve your community. Who knows —- you might even fall in love with your community.
If you go much lower, shareholders become reluctant wondering if it's really worth it, or if the board are negotiating hard enough.

If you go much higher, shareholders start to wonder why someone is willing to pay so much for a stock. People start to get cagey and wonder what's going on. The sellers interest is to keep it lower as well.

It's just the region things have settled over time. It's generally enough that the board feel they're doing the right thing, it doesn't spook anyone, and it's what the buyer is expecting.

I don't think there's any more magic behind it, it's just what has become the norm over the years.
Wow same here. My Dad could see which way the wind was blowing, I guess. It started my obsession with Sierra games though.
In the same vein as George Wallace then.
The index is compared against NYC. So Australia as a whole must be cheaper.
I think with hindsight the tragedy is the home computer market getting split between Commodore, Atari and possibly Acorn. The ST looks like a far more reasonable foundation from which to start building a computing legacy than the Amiga, which really was a one trick pony.

Have an ARM in an ST running a pre emptive multitasking OS in 1990 . . . now that would have been an interesting machine.
Of course the tradeoff here is hitching / unhitching, something to consider.
We are using this as a standalone templating engine. It's easy, fast and has good error reporting. This is the main templating engine of AdonisJS.
TBH that sounds like a nightmare to debug.
Yes, without the auto-survive of a power outage zfs will never be accepted by redhat whatever the zfs license is look like in the future, still this simplest thing can bring lots of headache and pain even zfs designed zil and slog but what it's good for when you google cannot import pool ... ?!
Most land is not desirable. Living conditions are limited by water not land.
It's amazing how many 3D start-ups spun out of the Finish demo scene Future Crew: Bitboys, Remedy Entertainment, 3DMark, and I'm pretty sure others that I'm missing. Anyone know why Finland is such an innovative 3D/software powerhouse?
> If you record with Cap, we'll auto handle the segmentation of the video so it can be played back efficiently (so the whole video doesn't have to be download in one go).

Playing an mp4 from a static file server buffers only the parts it consumes, including support for seeking. HTTP range requests work just fine.
There's a substantial difference between "once you're making money we treat you somewhat like a boarder" while you're living at home and "you remit a tithe to your family every month for your life".

The second, if done well, can be incredibly powerful, however. If the family is strong enough and trusted enough, you can get outsized economic benefits from it.
While I can understand that as a reason for not sending crew there, we didn't even send uncrewed landers. The result being that now our technology has changed so much that we have to relearn how to autonomously land there. If we had been sending the occasional lander, we would've smoothly transitioned from the technology of then to the technology of now.
If the compiler exists only as a binary, and you cannot compile it yourself, how can you be sure what the compiler is actually doing?
This might be a modern thing since families are smaller, but for families with more than 2 or 3 children, they are definitely sharing a room.

Part of it might be so they don't have to worry about fights or arguments between siblings as often.
This was the first thing that came to mind.

After being a skeptic and avoiding it for years, I decided to do a mindfulness/meditation experiment, and indeed, one of the first things I started to realize was just how much my brain would go down rabbit holes of discursive thought.

Becoming more mindful absolutely made me feel like I was less mindful, simply because I was actually noticing.

I need to dig deeper into the study to see if/how they accounted for this, but it seems like it'd be a major factor in a self-reporting situation.
>Meaning that if a child studies in Mandarin for 15 years of her life, she could have learned as much as 75 years worth of knowledge

That's the sort of claim that requires extraordinary evidence.
Not sure why your valid point is being downvoted. You also brought a source which most people don’t bother. Kudos!
Sometimes complicated dynamical systems have equilibria that just are without a known reason. I can see that once 30% gained a bit of traction is just coalesced into an equilibrium. The common decision making analysis of just looking at what others have done and basing your decisions on that mean that things evolve to wherever “monkey see, monkey do” gains traction.
If I had to guess based on how small the big players in M&A are (as far as I know), it's probably a handshake rule.
Ask HN: Can you make this app?
I would like an app that compares CPC across multiple platforms (google, meta, quora, reddit, etc), so that for example if I want to advertise a product, let's say a bicycle, I can compare immediately CPC across multiple platforms and buy ads where it seems more convenient. I think this can be a profitable idea and advertising agencies would find it useful.
I think rambling is a job requirement for CTOs.
I think he started to but it wasn't going well. I haven't caught up with him about it.
maybe it is, HTMX people and the founder also seem to be great at memeing and making controversy hehe.

Yeah, a completely different "new"/(kinda old) way of doing stuff.
I am personally not happy about that at all but my choice doesn't get any support. Not even registering Windows and turning off s-mode is possible without an account or with severe hacks that do involve deactivating secure boot anyway.

Microsoft is the security flaw here, they were even deemed a threat to national security in the US.

It is a complete circus and it lessens security compared to your average Windows 7 MBR installation while it was supported.

Microsoft forcing you to register to deactivate their presents pretty clearly line out their motivation here.
> Personally, if I end up with one option being my children sacrificing their financial independence and youth, and the other signing up for the Smith & Wesson retirement plan, I'll take the latter.

As a serious note from observations, if you do this, make it look like a goddamn accident doing something you enjoyed or your kids will be fucked in the head for decades to come.

Take up mountain climbing or skydiving and have a fatal accident instead of suck-starting a shotgun. Trust me.
unrelated, i'm trying to figure out where the phrase "back of the cigarette packet math" is more common than saying "back of the napkin math".

Can you tell me more? I am funded by The Danish Innovation Foundation, and so I always remain on the safe side, as recommended. It sounds like you have experience with this, do you have any good resources I perhaps can read or anything alike? :)
Yes. Additionally you are at bare minimum signalling that the metadata of the encrypted comms is worth further analysis.

For exactly the same reason if you have a paper shredder, you don't only shred confidential material, you shred a bunch of junk as well to make it harder to find which pieces to reconstruct.
Maybe data collected before generative AI contamination will have a premium, like the low-background steel produced prior to the first nuclear fallout in the 1940s, for use in particle detectors.
Many people absorb information better when it's presented in a more easily consumable format.
Unfortunately the word “microservices” on HN brings out some low-quality discourse. Maybe this time will be different?
I agree. A very high impact change I made for an application my team is working on was allowing easy creation of test cases from production data. We deal with almost unknowable upstream data and cheaply testing something that was not working out has reduced the time to find bugs tremendously
Just looking at the map doesn't tell you what hardiness zone means or how to apply (and not apply) this knowledge. I would say it makes you feel informed by teaching you a piece of trivia ("I'm in zone 8a") without actually informing you by giving you the tools to use what you've learned.

I for one trust that there are more Americans who would say no to the NSA when they have a legal basis for doing so than there are Russians saying no to the FSB.

The state of the rule of law is certainly not great anywhere in the world right now. But it's far worse in some places than in others. The difference still matters to some degree.
We have a 3.5 year old who is amazing and has brought a lot of joy to our lives.

But we agree.

I am saying people made thousands, most likely millions paintings like that. Only very small fraction survived.

But there is no need for some extra ordinary explanation like "artists were high-status shamans".
Upvoted. These are indeed the real reasons.

Commodore didn't give the hardware development team the resources and go-aheads that they needed in order to keep the Amiga competitive, mainly as a gaming machine and incidentally as an extremely popular demo platform. And it wouldn't have had to be "insane" upgrades to at least buy Commodore more time in the race to figure out the platform's future shape:

* A few more (and ideally also a bit wider) sprites.

* 8 channels of sound, with actual panning. The low sample rates were "OKish".

* Chunky mode, or at least hardware chunky-to-planar like the CD32 has.

* Bumping e.g. the 14 MHz EC020 in the A1200 to the 25 or 33 MHz variant.

* More chipmem and an equal amount of real on-board fastmem.
The same happens on the Telegram OSM group. Now, the easy and 99% effective mitigation is to make a "bridge group" where you need to click something to join the real deal but changing that would invalidate any existing links.

Welcome to the Laser Wars
Sort of, but it's heavily peer reviewed and generally regarded as very good.

I really dislike the "hand rolled is bad" meme. Someone rolled all crypto. The questions are "who is doing the rolling," "do they know what they are doing," and "was it peer reviewed or directly and faithfully built from a peer reviewed design?"
Signal/TextSecure (/DRA/Axolotl) has a pretty strong throughline from the "off-the-record" protocol (OTR) from 2004/2005. Signal themselves describes TextSecure as a derivative of OTR (https://signal.org/blog/simplifying-otr-deniability/).

It's close enough that if, say, a novel attack against OTR were discovered today, the first thing I'd want to know is if there are any implications against Signal.
