I think you wrote this as as if you were transcribing yourself giving verbal instructions while standing over some junior developer's shoulder.

That verbal style works because verbal communication is real-time and you can provide correction and feedback when something doesn't work as expected. In other words: because you're able to babysit the process and answer questions. Unfortunately, you don't have that luxury in a written medium.

I find that what works better in a written context is to have a concise list of instructions at the top with zero explanation. Below that, you can write a step-by-step explanation of the motivation and intent of each step.

This allows a reader to skip what's obvious and jump to the explanation they need to fill in a gap in their understanding.

I would also suggest you choose a specific target audience that can be expected to understand some things without explanation and who needs only a little explanation to understand a single new idea (e.g. XSS vulnerabilities, but not how to set up a project).

Another minor tip:

Make fewer value judgments and use fewer superlatives—don't write 'X is the best' or 'Y is a great'. Unless X or Y is the subject at hand, it's fine to simply say 'X is a {concise, matter-of-fact description}'.

My impression is that you have a lot in your head and that you're very excited to share that knowledge, which is awesome, but you need to share your knowledge patiently and methodically. That's a good thing though: it means you have a deep well to draw from if you enjoy writing technical articles :)
Btw the site on mobile forces horizontal scroll, could you improve it a bit

Yes we had the time of total customisations with Firefox years ago. And now we can happy if they don't drop the about:config settings keys for some behavior.

Same as chrome with flags.

Good UX means nowadays eat or die.
My feeling is the more public platforms are occupied by engagement economics, bots and fake everything, we humans meet in messaging groups like Telegram, Slack, etc that are not public.

> Good thing we don't measure wealth by photos and paintings

Do you really think that photos and paintings are all lies?

> Be serious, think about why an economy based on slave labor and agriculture would not build a network of railroads even if they had the money for it.

I'm sorry, I can't take that comment seriously.

> slave labor was so profitable that they did not see the need to industrialize

Or that one. Sorry.

The South was so profitable they could not finance their military. The North did easily.
this is not a trading strategy.

This is a tool that supports simulated execution for strategies. The strategies are left for users of the tool to implement.

I have no idea if this code works or if the features listed are finished but if done well it’s a useful baseline for anyone interested in algorithmic trading.
Many companies don't really have the luxury of picking.

A full time programmer, even one who sticks around for 8 months or so, is far better than a contractor. There's also the possibility they hang around for years.

Someone who's doing indie work on the side, well, they're upskilling themselves at least. And they're more likely to be incentivized by more time off or less work than they are by more money, so it's not always bad.
Every few years there's a new strategy in teaching reading. And we find out that the last strategy was totally wrong but not to worry--this one is based on science.

I know nothing about this topic, but it always seems like window dressing on some deeper issue. How the hell can half of kids not read?
An Introduction to Dynamic Time Warping
But that turns me into a deshitifcation cron job, working for my operating system to work.
Incredible monologue in that film.
I've seen this idea before, that cetaceans might basically project ideas holographically.

Is there any evidence for this ? Or is the idea simply rooted in the possibilities of sound ?

Genuinely curious here.
There's plenty of people going around applying saying that their mission matches with whatever the job description is, and they're willing to pay ChatGPT to convince you.
This seems off. Sufficient liquidity in a market isn't natively a binary state. That state would be imposed by the programmer with a threshold. Hardcoding only two assets would surely miss dynamic opportunities in others.
I'd definitely say all language use must rely on recursion, you're just highlighting our tendency to halt the pronunciation of it early at arbitrary points due to linguistic norms. Like, AFAIU this was Chomsky's whole impetus, and I really don't think anyone has answered better than he: how can a finite system compute linguistic meaning in finite time, otherwise? I'd guess the "natural language" answer would be along the lines of "it just comes naturally who knows", in which case I'm staying I'm on my side of the battle lines ;)

Either way, I think you'd win a Nobel for proving that complex recursive processes aren't going on inside the head of someone speaking in natural language. We can discuss the likely situation all day, but directly measuring this in the moment seems well beyond our technical capabilities
Cool, i'm visiting nyc in a month or so, I didn't know this existed. I must go there
I find this unconvincing. Words described those terms just fine as you just proved.
Interesting, there’s also node version in /packages.
And yet, as with so many other systems Microsoft can't or won't keep this up for newer versions. I spent part of Thursday wrestling with Graph code that it turns out has an older version of one Nuget package, and if you "just" upgrade it now all the authentication layer is completely broken and needs to be redesigned because it's apparently "better" with the "streamlined" modern version, but if you don't upgrade it nobody's documentation for the problems we're solving matches because they also moved a bunch of the extension methods to different places or renamed things, again you know for streamlining.

Somebody else on HN said they don't rely on anything which has Semver and yet the major version is 4 or greater, because that means they were so wrong they had to change their API already at least three times so they've clearly got no idea what they're doing. I think I'm beginning to agree.
I had the same experience. The page was jumping around and made it very difficult to read individual sections/bullets. I know it's tangential but it's not a great look for a FE tool.
Uncle sam gets the money which gets used to feed a massive bureaucracy that does no productive work and whatever remains then goes to ATT. Often very little.
Yes, breakpoints will still work. Debuggers generally use POKETEXT to write breakpoints, which ignores any write protection on pages. mseal does not affect this use case.
European obesity rates are also growing, but are much lower than US.

Contrary to anecdotes, most people in Europe are also pretty sedentary, don't cycle to work and don't do sport (there's probably more active people in Europe than US). We probably walk a bit more but there can't be that much in it.

So I'm still baffled at that difference.
Interactive brokers is probably the best non-professional setup I’m aware of. You won’t get hft level latencies or price feeds.

to get good historical data in “trad-fi” you would need to map all the trades by code to filter out bad ticks before aggregating into bars. This alone is enough of a barrier to keep most retail traders out of the space
How accepted is this result? If it’s true, it basically destroys a huge fraction of modern philosophy. A large fraction of the continental tradition would have the rug pulled out from under it.
Actually no, that's not how they were designed.

The Moai statues were made in a quarry inland and transported to the coastline, where they were set on stone platforms (called ahu) fully above ground.

When the Europeans first visited there were hundreds of them standing all around the coastline, always looking outward at the sea. It is believed that they were meant to protect the island.

The Rapa Nui people later toppled _all_ of the statues and destroyed them.

The only ones that were spared are the ones that were lost in transport from the quarry -> and these are the ones that are often partially buried and are so well known today.

yes, this would be non-colocated on AWS. wouldn't everyone have the same network latency if they had a node in the same AWS region? and wouldn't that even the playing field, making FPGAs relevant again (you can rent an FPGA there)? i guess the importance of low latency also depends on the update rate of the exchange server.
I don't think you understand the explanation. It isn't the same timeframe.

Months 1-6 backtest and optimize.

Months 7-8 backtest, no optimization. Use best parameters from 1-6.

Months 3-8 backtest and optimize.

Months 9-11 backtest, no optimization. Use best parameters from 3-8.

Walk forward with only backtest.

That's the thing, though. IBM faded into... A 62B earnings call for 2023. I sure wish that's how I could fade if I sold out.

Not being in the limelight doesn't mean these old juggernaut aren't still making more money than some small countries. Very few companies that you feel are "dead" are truly in dire straits financially. They've mad their money and still make a non-negligible amount today in the background
Would you mind sharing which advanced technologies am I missing out on living in the EU compared to the US? I haven't noticed any personally.
There's a documentary about the vienna secession focused on klimt, and it's a really interesting watch. I went into cinema thinking oh well what i'm gonna learn and when it was over i had gained a much richer comprehension about the historical period and klimt himself. An italian movie distributor often has cycles when they show art documentaries like this for a few days each month, every month a different one, and i have to say the ones i've been to they were always top notch (from an uninformed point of view)

He's comparing it to macos and there it is a VM as well but it feels less well integrated.
Banks aren’t trading because post-2008 regulations made it nearly impossible. They have plenty of money to hire top trading talent and did so for a long time.
See my comment in the subthread.

The statues that were successfully placed were not buried and they were all toppled by 1868. The buried ones you know were never transported to their destination.

Modern tractors literally drive themselves and automatically notify the manufacturer when in need of service. They're also enormous.

Cows allowed to milk themselves via automated milking apparatus actually produce more milk and seem happier.

Societal investment could easily bring these technologies to every farm.
Europeans will continue to buy the hardware, except rather than being able to afford the Apple devices they’ll buy some very low quality knockoffs from Shein.
> You can still run 3.5 applications

Given the discussion in a sibling (nephew?) thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40755845), I thought at first that this was a description of how many modern, bloated apps you could run on a modern computer before the OS slowed to a crawl.
A counterargument to the claim that language is not sufficient for thought could be that while individuals with intact language abilities may exhibit impairments in reasoning and problem-solving due to brain damage or disorders like schizophrenia, these impairments might not be a direct result of language function itself. Instead, they could be caused by damage to other cognitive systems that interact with language, or by the disorder's broader impact on cognitive function.

For instance, schizophrenia is a complex disorder affecting various cognitive domains, including attention, memory, and executive functions, which are crucial for reasoning and problem-solving. Therefore, the observed impairments might stem from these broader cognitive deficits rather than a lack of language proficiency.

Brain damage can affect multiple brain regions and their connections, leading to a wide range of cognitive impairments. It is possible that the observed deficits in reasoning and problem-solving are due to damage to specific brain regions responsible for these functions, rather than a disruption of language processing itself.

While the presence of intact language abilities does not guarantee intact thinking abilities, it is necessary to consider the potential confounding factors, such as broader cognitive deficits or damage to other brain regions, before concluding that language is not sufficient for thought. Further research is needed to disentangle the complex relationship between language and thought and to determine the specific contributions of language to various cognitive processes.
I thought you should use regular olive oil for cooking (harder to burn)

And Extra Virgin olive oil would be good directly, like in a salad.
Zero explanation for what this even is...
I had to install a temporary windows 10 (not 11) install so that I can unlock the bootloader of a xiaomi phone and install a better rom. I managed to avoid the microsoft account use by not connecting to the internet before the setup was finished. It asked me like 2 or 3 times it looped 2 or 3 times in the select wifi / use MS account screens before giving up and sending me to the local account creation.

Genuine question, is it a property of software design only? Think about construction, for any change in the architecture, one has to demolish stuff and make a mess.
I'd argue, that's a general property of change.
TextGrad: Automatic ''Differentiation'' via Text

Why use an LLM to check the work of a different LLM?

You could use the same technique that this paper describes to compare the answers each LLM gave. LLMs don’t have to be in opposition to traditional NLP techniques
This is related but not really the same thing. The Language of Thought may or may not be closely related to human language. (Some animals may also have concepts and compositional mental representations.)
I don't get it. Is there a particular reason why prime number bases are further broken down via "+1"? And where do you stop with that? For example, "5" is not further broken down into 2^2+1.

It is quite similar to the infinite monkey theorem, and as it does require infinite time, it is indeed slightly nonsensical.
You didn’t just get 67p, you also got the utility of that energy. For my EV, that’s a good 40 miles of range. That’s about £8 in equivalent petrol cost.
Holy cow. I also worked at MDH Industries, for a few years starting in 1981 or so. That was also the first and only time I ever programming in Forth, doing embedded code for a new radiation calibration machine they were coming out with. Howard Marshall was the most brilliant analog circuit designer I have ever met; it was only decades later that I realized his connection with J. Howard Marshall the oil tycoon, Anna Nichole Smith, and all that.
Although it's true that maintained UI frameworks have features less-maintained UI frameworks don't, this isn't really the cause of the slowdowns. Those features are all edge cases that aren't in use most of the time, by most users, and so shouldn't be incurring any significant performance hit on the regular paths.

And you can certainly have such features in modern / fast frameworks. Take a Java Swing or JavaFX app and compile it with GraalVM Native Image. The framework dates from the 90s but is maintained because JetBrains relies on it. It supports hi-dpi displays, accessibility apps, multi-monitor rendering and so on. And when natively compiled, it will start in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone dismisses this for tone, this is remarkably realistic.

This is/was me. Working on that.

I was the one to call the shots. Joined years ago, took a thing from lab to a real household product, ran out of steam, then left once the fiefdoms started settling in.

I noticed the impact it had both personally and externally, leaving was an act of care for everyone. I'm still burned out.

I joined a new place and made an ass out of myself in the last couple months, because of this coping mechanism. I'm preconditioned to throw elbows.

Fortunately most around me seem to have realized and allowed me room to learn to be human again.

I appreciate the healthier dynamics. I'm just trying to learn to participate again in good faith. It was taken from me.

The last place was so dysfunctional that me, the effective/favored SRE, was leading literally by consequence - in several senses.
Habbo Hotel or Runescape were the two other ones outside of WoW.

I chose Habbo. Still exists but isn't the same.
Ligatures in code are a very special case as they intentionally show entirely different glyphs. Typically ligatures are used in typography to make the text feel more natural by avoiding pathological combinations of glyphs that look awkward and distracting without it.
If interest rates go down, the dollar is going down, and if you are all in on "aust small caps" or similar in your super, you could and up trapped here, because your pacific pesos will be buying fuck all if you don't have ten million of them.

So to me, it is looking pretty fucked going forward either way. (Interest stays high, or comes down but dollar crashes)

Not saying you should, but I changed my entire portfolio to overseas growth funds to hedge against AUD going to USD20c.

Last 12 months returned 22%, won't be like that every year but I am not expecting minus 25% any year soon.

If I'm wrong, I feel that there will be bigger problems at hand, if I'm right I can retire to a vibrant lower cost centre experiencing growth, eg Cambodia or Vietnam, that's looking like a much better life.

Now that's a bit extreme, but 40 is easy to see, so maybe 20-30 isn't out of the question. But if it does, then the farmers get a bonanza.
an interesting concept
Would love to know more, maybe some pointers to tools/utils for getting these more difficult games going. I haven’t had the time to go further than using Steam and Lutris, which covers most of what I play, but would be good to have more options.

The First Spatial Computing Hack
> Should we apply that logic to gplv3 code too?

Well the GPL code was never being sold in the first place, so these rules might not apply at all. And it's still available the same way it always has been, so that suggests no need for intervention. Alternatively it would make sense to treat source code differently from books and photos and music and movies.

> lose its license after an arbitrary period of time

Of course GPL code would become public domain after an arbitrary period of time, that's how public domain works. In the year 2024, why shouldn't anyone be able to reuse 1997 linux code or pieces of windows 95 in their own programs?
Ask HN: Advice for leading a software migration?
Hey HN,

I'm about to take lead of a decent sized software migration at work. (From V1 of some subsystem, to v2, both in house. We want to deprecated and eventually remove V1 totally) For 8 of our clients, totalling about 16 million customers.

I don't have too many details to share, as I don't know what's relevant. But I'm asking if anyone has any advice or recommended reading regarding such?

One book that is really inspiring me about it is "how big things get done" by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner. In it, there's some key bits of advice such as

* Think slow, ask fast, and mitigate long tailed risks.

* Compartmentalize and stick to repeated processes. "Build with LEGOs"

* Look around at other projects of similar nature.

The last point is why I'm here, as I know some of you have been in the game for longer than I have, so feel free to share experiences that you might think is relevant, if you'd like.
Agreed. I used to think (haha) that I was thinking the thoughts I as thought them verbally, but as of late, I've come to realise that I've already had the thought as a sort of a series of perceptual flashes or traces, and when I think I'm thinking, I'm merely verbalising what I've already internally "perceived".
for the basics you can just use vite and nothing will change except what's underneath. it's only when you get fancy that you need to write your own plugins that would really be affected by this churn.

CAD is exactly what I'm using VMs with GPU passthrough for, and it's working briliantly there. The advantage is that most of these VMs have no internet access at all (they only see a single SMB share on the host) - so most of the security and privacy issues are just non-existent.

It’s really great to see games that would otherwise die live on through a community. Ultima online is a great example with the likes of ClassicUO (amazing client) and ModernUO (an active attempt at a modernised server)
