I like your buttons!
Also my strategy includes fucking with or cutting ties with "mindlessly ambitious" people. Just raise their cost of existing and drawing others into their vortex.

In today's environment, technical, design and financial tools scale up ambitious peoples mindlessness. It doesn't matter what you teach a kid, if the kid has to then go and work for such a person.

Ask HN: Developers working at marketing agencies: what is our value add?
How would you describe it? Our work cycle is dominated by context switching between clients and billable hours. Very often we don't get enough billable hours to resolve technical debt. With this billing model keeping clients in a good mood becomes more important than doing what's best for them, and the former is difficult to quantify.

I try to answer these questions so I can better update my resume. As one marketing agency web dev to others, I'd like to see how others figure out what makes our contributions uniquely ours, in terms of value we create for the company.

Why not Opus.
No, I illustrated that for some people "being more in tune with our natural roots" is deeply stressful. And it is simply not realistic advice!

I get attacked weekly, and can not even carry peper spray, or tell anything to my attackers (they would turn on me). Last time I got attacked by 6 large dogs while walking on beach, and their owners would not even restraint the. After, they tried to steal my phone for recording the attack. Latter they told police, dogs were "stray" and they are not responsible for them. Despite providing shelter, food, vet and walking them on leash...

If I mugged people, trying to steal their food, I would be in jail!

Some "true" mythical countryside has even more dogs in large packs. It is outright dangerous to cycle here!
I agree with the bases -- we do see that multiple times, but we don't really see as much scrambling from carriers in the same way that we see them scrambling from planetary/lunar bases, which is what makes me hesitate about characterizing this as a fast carrier DOCTRINE.

I definitely remember gunships and troop transports, but my memory is just failing me when I try to think of carriers. I guess this is left over in the legends canon now, but much of the rebellion's fleet having been repurposed from civilian transports/cruise liners also serves as a good explanation as to why they wouldn't have many carriers as well.

Yes a barrel shifter would have been a nice addition to the 6502. L

Yes, general purpose code is rarely the answer. I think all of us see that after a while.

Then, after that process, one starts coding differently. Chain stuff together, using common ops, pulling off intermediate values, etc... For most things, a fast way exists, but it will often be a tweak or two to make sense in the context.

I don't think they went that far with me, but I did get frustration and telling me to stop asking questions. Pretty sure not being able to answer anything I came up with had me thinking it can't be true.

And this was specifically in a religious education class we did once a week at a church separate from school.
Very cool stuff. I wish there was a good document scanning (dewarping, thresholding, pdf generation) app available on mobile.

Currently stuck with Adobe scan as gives the best result for me, which is still quite bad at dewarping
Yeah. I get that. And I’m sure there’s some SEO-style positive feedback you get for it. But also being able to pitch it to me in a simple way and then using Loom as an example I think would be more helpful.

“Screen recording software that emphasizes simple sharing. An open source alternative to Loom”. Still super simple but is more useful to people less exposed to your world.
I don’t disagree about skill issue. I just don’t think you should require immense skill to implement simple control flow without shooting yourself in the foot. It’s much worse than modern JavaScript in my opinion.

I don’t buy the argument about all the auxiliary stuff. You are free to not use it.
Sure, but doing the refactor the first time, without thinking about how to record a vim macro, then just hitting tab to have copilot do the same change over and over is a lower friction experience

Often people claim that Hungarian has over 50 words for "you" (https://dailymagyar.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05...)

But even the concept of what is a "word" in Hungarian is complex. Words have so many different forms depending on the context. As a Hungarian speaker, I perceive three forms of you (te, ön, maga) and one ending that is added to other words to to form a second person form of the word (-d), but even that is a complete oversimplification.

I don't think there is any reason why whale languages would have a concept of discreet words like we have in English.

From my experience it's become relatively more expensive than other countries even if every country has experienced inflation to a small or large extent.

The joke used to be how expensive Switzerland was...now I am looking at prices in Zurich for food, drinks, hotels and it's no different than what you'd pay in a big city in the US, maybe less.
My personal experience is completely opposite. When I was young I would naturally focus and block out noise even though my environment was chaotic and I got good grade without trying. But as I grew older, since high school the natural ability was lost and my performance and grades suffered.

When I start working the mindfulness and meditations practices helped me tremendously and I would felt like I can go back to my focus and productive mode easily and regained my performance.

In a language such as Thai, pronouns are left out in most cases, and only added when you need to disambiguate. No plurals either, requiring you to add this information with extra words when it matters. But nobody forces you to communicate effectively, or use Oxford commas.
I looked it over and frankly, I could not do better, or maybe even as good. Nice work!
I can understand why scientists, linguists, and whale enthusiasts might be interested in understanding whale communication. But I have a much harder time imagining that whales have much to say to humans other than, "Please kindly fuck off" in 99% of cases.
The big Mon Calamari cruisers, the closest thing we see them field to ships the size of Star Destroyers, and plainly the backbone of the fleet they deploy in Jedi, seem (though our evidence is limited) to have a lot more space dedicated to hangar bays than the Destroyers do, and not to have the kind of firepower needed to stand up to Star Destroyers in a straight fight—I think casting them as something akin to gun-armed fleet carriers of WWII, like the Royal Navy’s Illustrious Class, isn’t too wild an idea.

[edit] though, I do think that line of argument’s a bit weak. I could see going either way on the question of whether the Mon Cals slot better into the “fast carrier” paradigm or are better regarded as filling the role of heavy cruisers or battlecruisers. Not a lot of Star Wars ship designs slot quite so clearly into a fast carrier designation as the Republic’s primary Clone Wars warships.

You make an interesting point. I once worked with someone who was brilliant, but had gotten into the field via a math degree, and we were building an enterprise-software product.

We tried pair-programming, and he cracked within a few minutes. He couldn't articulate his thought processes verbally. Sounds similar to the scenario you're describing.

Fwiw, I don’t think we’re any closer to general intelligence then we were 5 years ago.

Other than that, I agree, especially since you added “and other fields.”
Psychology might eventually give us a useful definition of “intelligence,” so that’d be something.

You cannot get around the Ken Thompson problem because all bootstrapping starts with some trusted binary that compiles your level 0 sources.

Now, sure, if your chain does not involve C, then it is immune to a compromised C compilers; how could C compilers do anything to it, that are not installed or run?

However, you're vulnerable to a doctored binary of your language.

Bootstrapping your Language X from C helps you here also, for multiple reasons.

Reason 1: there is no recursive cycle when you externally boostrap from another language. Even if a C compiler is doctored in order to recognize that it's boostrapping Language X, and do something malicious, that malicious thing will not propagate to new Language X installations. Reason being that the build output of Language X is not used for further bootstrapping new Language X instances. The other language is always used for boostrapping. All proliferation of the hack has to propagate through the ecosystem of that other language.

Reason 2: Language X is less popular than the boostrapping language, which makes its ecosystem vulnerable. If a vulnerable language with a tiny ecosystem is boostrapped using ready-made binaries of itself, those binaries are likely only available from one site. If those are infected, it's game over.

Reason 3: Language X development does not develop the host language (such as C). C is not of interest to the Language X project, and can be conservatively used, so that Language X will build fine with a 20 year old GCC. Even if a bad actor attacks Language X by getting malicious code upstreamed into GCC, that attack won't appear in old versions of GCC. (By the same token, Language X written in Language X could also use a conservative dialect of Language X for boostrapping, so that a many-years-old implementation of it with a widely known SHA-256 can be used.)

State schools have also been wasting a fortune on gold-plated facilities. I was just at UCSD yesterday and it was ridiculously nice. This is not a responsible use of tuition and tax dollars.

> I don't think they went that far with me, but I did get frustration and telling me to stop asking questions. Pretty sure not being able to answer anything I came up with had me thinking it can't be true.

If I could go back in a time machine and talk to a younger version of myself, I think I could give far more intelligent answers to my questions than anyone I asked could.

Back in the Middle Ages, many of the smartest people in society ended up working for the Church. That doesn't guarantee they were right, but they were far from simpletons. Someone like Thomas Aquinas, whether he's ultimately right or wrong, he's a much more nuanced thinker than shallow dismissals of mediaeval scholasticism would suggest. And one can make similar remarks about Jewish scholars such as Rambam/Maimonides and Ralbag/Gersonides, or the great Islamic philosophers such as Ibn Sina/Avicenna, al-Ghazali, Ibn Rushd/Averroes and Mulla Sadra. But nowadays, religion struggles to attract people of the same intellectual calibre. Which isn't to say none of them exist, but they are hidden away in remote higher education institutions, and there is a big disconnect between them and your average K-12 religious education teacher. Of course, in the Middle Ages, your village priest/rabbi/imam was unlikely to be anywhere near the level of that era's intellectual giants, but they arguably had less of a disconnect with them too.
When a foreclosure auction is won by the lender, the price is not very indicative of the market value.

Usually, lenders will bid up to somewhere around the outstanding loan amount. And typically, the loan amount is known. If you have an idea for how much you want to pay, and it's much less than the loan amount, you won't bid, because there's no point.

Combine that with typically a very short period before announcement and auction, during which time the borrower may not be compelled to cooperate with due dilligence (or may refuse to cooperate despite having a duty to), and yeah, you're not likely to get bidders. If the property was easily sold near the loan amount, the borrower likely would have done it.

Edit: an article from April claims a loan amount of $83M [1]. Asumming that's roughly accurate, this auction says nobody is interested in paying around $83M for this building on short notice. You need "good funds" at the auction: cash, a cashier's check or ability to do an immediate wire.

Now that you mention it. I recently picked up a bottle of Red Vinegar with large pictures of red grapes on it. Naturally I assumed this was grape vinegar. How shocking it was to discover that this Chinese company was selling acetic acid mixed with food colors.
I would recommend reading the Geekbench 6 internals document, they explain the rational behind the change.

> Geekbench 6 uses a “shared task” model for multi-threading, rather than the “separate task”
model used in earlier versions of Geekbench. The “shared task” approach better models how
most applications use multiple cores.

> The "separate task" approach used in Geekbench 5 parallelizes workloads by treating each
thread as separate. Each thread processes a separate independent task. This approach scales
well as there is very little thread-to-thread communication, and the available work scales with
the number of threads. For example, a four-core system will have four copies, while a 64-core
system will have 64 copies.

> The "shared task" approach parallelizes workloads by having each thread processes part of a
larger shared task. Given the increased inter-thread communication required to coordinate the
work between threads, this approach may not scale as well as the "separate task" approach.

Nothing about this is biased towards Apple. GB6 simply scales worse with more cores due to increased inter-core communication requirements.

A bit tangential but my limited experience playing star citizen with eye tracking technology was exhilating.

With the technology out at the time (and the little i could do with it) i was mostly limited to exaggerated eye movements.

Repeated "full side eye" gestures were definitely uncomfortable (physically) and at times somewhat nausesting.

After a few weeks of steady gameplay things were noticeably better but still not something i could maintain without discomfort for more than 1.5-2hrs.
The requirement for degrees is substantially due to a surplus of job applicants. Requiring a degree is one way to keep applications down to a manageable level. Employers are quick to discard that requirement when they're unable to fill critical reqs.

>The first is not really the back of the cabinet, it is more like the design on the front.

The metaphor seemed to have gone over your head.

>The second… more like the back of the cabinet maybe. Although the better style there might also be somewhat functional; the internals are clearly quite different, one could imagine that the nice packaging in the Apple case might be a result of only wanting people to use approved parts.

This philosophy applies to their entire product line and has essentially been the case since Jobs came back. Hell looking at the first 1984 Mac this philosophy was there.

You may want to take a look at Rhombus, that is a somewhat-python-like language with macros that is written in Racket.

> Rhombus is an experimental, general-purpose programming language with conventional expression syntax that is built on Racket and that is macro-extensible in the same way as Racket.

It's still work in progress, but you can install and run the prototype. I recomend to take a look at the "demo" file with examples https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/demo...

Or read the docs https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/index.html , in particular an overwiew in https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/Modules.html and some examples of macros in https://docs.racket-lang.org/rhombus/expr-macro.html

If the library is 92 lines, you don't need it.
This is correct. AMD and Intel CPUs had many slower cores. GB5 made them look better. Apple has fewer cores but more fast ones.

Most applications can't utilize many cores. Thus, usually, consumer applications perform better with fewer but faster cores than many slow cores. Geekbench is a consumer CPU benchmark.

Love it. I hate loom. Dark patterns abound. Its time we have a better orientated replay alternative (but I’m still waiting for a widely adopted true session replay alternative)
Maybe. I agree it could have been worded different including giving some constructive feedback on it..

Ppl who discover a category of software might hesitate to try it out while looking for alternatives to compare it against.

It also helps the author be aware of other features that might be of interest to them.

Cap.so would still remain my first option to try out. It's unique compared to another good screen capture, screenity.io, which is more locally run in the browser.
rsh would fill the same gap for authentication, (or even raw telnet), or anything that integrates with unix users.
