Work conditions.

The actual teaching is like 10% of the job at best and shrinking, school administrators have to be the dumbest category of people who hold advanced degrees (I don’t level that charge lightly), schools are heavily hierarchical and hard to influence toward improvement if you’re not in admin, constant methodology churn for all sorts of things based on whichever new “system” caught the superintendent’s fancy at their last district-funded drinking getaway er, I mean, conference. Which they’ll go on to half-understand, fail to apply the parts that make them uncomfortable, and of course doom the new program without its even having a chance. While creating a bunch of new work for the teachers and breaking stuff that was working fine. “Office” politics where the median would qualify as quite bad in the private sector.

Politicians and half the parents think you’re the enemy, in a very real way. No support from parents on discipline issues. Admin piss-pants scared of parents, too. Comp-vs-CoL varies wildly over the country, and mostly in the ways you’d expect, so it’s ok some places but it’s terrible in many others.
marimo is very good, been using it for a few months now and have switched over to it for most of my notebook-related tasks (it ships with copilot support)

In various drawers and tubs around the house. My backpack. My desk. Why lie?

I am somewhat putting efforts into condensing it all down to a single "black and yellow" container, as they're known here colloquially.
I forced myself into a routine because with wfh, I woke up 9.50am and started working at 10am, and after the work day I was too tired to do anything, as well as becoming a blob. I joined a gym nearby, started going to the pool 7.30am, got charged 10$ if I didn't go, so I had the external incentive.

Couple of years later (how time flies), I need to go swimming otherwise I'm in pain the next day due to the desk job. I've also added weightlifting 3 times a week, and then swimming, I'm feeling great, and when I finished my day, it feels like I haven't missed anything.

That's the key thing why DevOps is frankly a pile of bullshit and why so many companies ridiculously overpay on cloud infrastructure.

When you got clueless morons who were in a 6 week nodejs bootcamp now "developing" containers, with no one even having the permissions to troubleshoot crashes - that may very well originate from someone trying to get remote code execution - it is absolutely no surprise that hacks, ransomware, infrastructure so brittle that it only doesn't fail because EBS / EKS keeps restarting the pile of dung every minute and infrastructure pieced together from 40 AWS services where one classic EC2 VM would be sufficient are plentiful.
I think what they're saying is that you can't easily target a fixed-wing aircraft flying miles above ground with hand-held equipment like you would a helicopter
This characteristic is pervasive in this author's writing, in my opinion. I can't tell if he's willfully missing the obvious underlying truth in order to get contrarian hype clicks or if he really just doesn't notice things like what you're pointing out.
So much drama for a work of week.

Everything is an odyssey these days.

"oh, they asked me to work before the agreement time", "they work during the weekend", what's the surprise? Sounds like a normal startup work.

VCs most of the time have no clue what they are doing but will behave as if they had built Meta or Google.

This is essentially GitButler's 'integration branch' idea, but via CLI. I tried it briefly, found it frustrating to use a GUI and not helped by (it's early days) bugs.

It occurred to me I could just do the same 'manually' or with some git aliases to help, but I haven't, and I'm glad I've seen this (and the reminder to try out jj in general) because it's certainly far nearer than it would be in pure git.
Or maybe it's easy to just drop out of teaching? Versus a more specialized profession, like dentistry?

Also, you'll notice that the highest suicide professions are also the most physically dangerous. It stands to reason that suicide often follows a life-changing debilitating injury. That would be pretty rare in teaching.
I don’t think manufacturers are trying to achieve planned obsolescence. Rather I think they are trying to get in on that cheap internet services money they are being left out of. There’s lots of money being left on the table from having a foothold in a consumer’s home.

One thing is that pretty much the only place you'll see formal chilean is in like, the news, or official government communication. We're not very formal people, so even in workplaces or school we wouldn't use 100% formal register.

That would be an ABI break which is just not happening, and you know it. As it is we’ve decided it’s more important to be able to use std span from libc++ on clang than it is to have an optimised version for people on their tool chain.

Software dev maturity phases:

Having a vanilla green field working web browser could enable experimentation. Prototying a novel more useful hybrid history & bookmarks feature set, for instance, is a giant pain thru the current plugin extensions. Like sucking apples thru a soda straw. As you said about lower level APIs, it's easier to "go straight to the metal".
The first part sounds right, but the house introduced and voted yes on two impeachments, which isn't nothing.

That should read two PCIe x4 ports to the CPU intended for attaching SSD storage. Otherwise it sounds like a dedicated SSD port which it clearly isn't.

Imagine Ladybird is developed and is successful. Lots of people use it to read websites.

But then Badcorp takes the code and builds their own varient with extensions. Badcorp is big and has lots of market share. Lots of people use Badcorps's browser, and because lots of people are using it, lots of web developers code for it, including coding for its extensions.

Soon, lots of websites -- including Badcorp's own websites, and they have lots of popular ones -- use the extensions in the Badcorp browser.

Then people still using Ladybird can't use it for most websites. They have lost something.
Let's say you have these two options: buy a $4,000 fridge that can last 20 years or a $1,000 fridge that lasts 5 years. Think about it. With the $1,000/5 yrs option you'll get one new modern fridge every 5 years (add a bit more $ for inflation), or 4 brand-new in a 20 yrs period. If you go with the $4,000 option, you'll be stuck with the same equipment for 20 years.
I absolutely adore your coding videos where you implement new features. Any chance we'll get more of those with Ladybird?
Seek out "commercial" grade appliances, pay ~2x, they last forever and often come with actual warranties in the 10-year range
Vector database is not mentioned at all. Thought it’s one of the new features.
This story has always fascinated me, because it at least strikes me as realistic.

Allegedly, the guy had no idea how he came to be in Mexico City. He shared information that there is no rational way he could have had, and it was later collaborated by others.

He was arrested and accused of witchcraft - I've never read of anyone believing him until his story was confirmed months after the fact.

Then he just... disappears into history.

I wouldn't say I believe the story, but if a guy was actually suddenly transported around the world, the events in the story are about what I'd expect the reactions to be.
This is indeed a side effect from research papers being read more outside academia (which is strictly a good thing in itself).

In research one learns that most (almost all) papers oversell their results and a lot of stuff is hidden in the "Limitations" section. This is a significant problem, but not that big a problem within academia as everybody, at least within the field, knows to take the results with a grain of salt. But those outside academia, or outside the field, often don't take this into account.

Academic papers should be read a bit like marketing material or pitch decks.
What's wrong with looking at what might happen?

Oh, I will do some more research on LlamaParse.

Yep, planning to release it under a commercially permissible license.

We have an active API which we are using for our internal clients, and we are planning to release it soon.

Regarding the ETA of the new model, I don't have a fixed deadline as we are training and testing for a lot of edge cases. Currently, we are doing research and trying to build/train in public on X/Twitter.
I'm not a web developer, though I still develop web apps regularly.

What exactly is the point of a bundler in the rapid development cycle? If you want your web app to load up fast, it's better if you only need to redownload the parts that actually changed, so you're better off not bundling them.
The value of HN lies in its community, which you won't — most probably — be ever able to reproduce.

After almost fifteen years of skimming once a day or two through the comments on the topics that interest me most, I am still amazed by the wide of range of old-and-new school engineers of all trade who share their experience and opinions. This is invaluable and does not necessarily need any fancy UI.
It depends. If your codebase is already free of lint warnings - adding a blocking check to prevent new ones is no big deal. But if your blocking check means that everyone has to drop everything and spend a week fixing code - of course this won't be smooth.

PS. Also, it’s a good idea to have manual override for whatever autoblocks you set up. Most linters already come with this feature.
There is no "need" to expend a huge amount of energy running a chatbot that tells people to eat rocks.
Part of it I think is people end up in lines of work where they have a lot of excess cash. They think, "why not trick out the kitchen I use every day now that I can afford it," and end up with these fridges that can post on instagram with a compressor that breaks in three years. Of course this class of buyer also doesn't care about durability since they can trivially afford maintenance and replacement. The thinking infests the real estate space that targets this class of buyers (increasingly these are all home sales in some markets) that attempts to "keep up with the joneses" gutting walls of dwellings and swapping out the old top of the line stove with the new top of the line stove every time the title changes hands.

Who wins? The appliance companies surely. The owners who appreciate the convenience of a sink built into a stove that allows them to fill a pot for pasta water with one less trip to the sink (next decades model will include a drain I am sure but we aren't there yet). And the rest of us bear the costs of real estate priced to get a profit margin on the expenses of these "upgrades" the previous owner's real estate agent prescribed for you, in addition to a diminished supply chain of regular old appliances that work fine for 40 years.
A short and fun to read corrective is Kotkin's Armageddon Averted. The competition, inefficiency and the demands of its own power projections were a costly strain but nowhere close to leading to ruin or an irrecoverable state.
We used the Alt+255 trick in my high school computer lab (windows 3.1) to hide games like Doom and Descent. It worked great because for some reason, if I recall correctly, the `dir /s` command would not traverse into directories with that name, so recursive directory searches for "DOOM.EXE" would turn up nothing. Also, folders with that name wouldn't appear in Windows.

To break out of the managed environment, someone figured out they could hit Ctrl+Break at the text-mode login screen - this would drop you to a DOS prompt. But the lab admin got wise to that and blocked that key combination.

I figured out a workaround: Alt+3. It would send an ASCII code that the input would interpret identically to Ctrl+Break, and we were back in business :-)

Anyone can build a bridge that will stand.

It takes an engineer to build a bridge that will barely stand.

A second of life beyond the warranty period is profit that the manufacturer can hold on to rather than give to the consumer. With microprocessors and new materials you can cut the edge closer and closer. Who cares if you destroy the brand's reputation, the executives and PE will be gone before that matters.
I tend to agree with you. If what Putin has done so far doesn't cause a massive internal revolt, then selling what they've gained by now as a victory shouldn't be too hard either.

Attitudes (and apathy) of the Russian population is the most astonishing thing about this whole conflict, and something that should be remembered when dealing with the country in the future, even after Putin.
> By the way, there is an extremely stupid but disturbingly widespread idea that humans are able to just intuit solutions to the halting problem, using the mind's eye or quantum mechanics in the brain or whatever. Needless to say, this did not factor into the proof.

The year is 52,000 CE and humans have solved BB(18) in the sense of exhaustively categorizing halting vs non-halting 19-state no-input programs. They have used a proof generator based on a logical theory called Aleph*, and at that time it had been known for 1.5k years that ZFC is incapable of establishing BB(18).

Compared to the year 2024 CE, considerable millennia before Aleph* came into use, it is clear that no program written at that point in history was capable of even using brute force proof checking to solve BB(18) in theory (like how we can enumerate and check ZFC proofs today to solve BB(??) in theory).

That's what is meant by the "humans intuit solutions to the halting problem" position. AFAIK, there's no known hard, theoretical reason why the above laid out future history cannot take place. And due to BB being incomputable, humans had to develop new theory to be able to construct the programs required. Something has to be accredited for the results, and it can't be computation since the programs did not exist.
I'm surprised that advertisers do not have more distrust in big tech. I am deeply suspicious of the results that social media gives to advertisers, and I think the number of people who actually see the ads are much, much lower.

Hi, my name is Sergei, 20 years in software development. I like a challenge and working with interesting and new technologies.
My comment was a response. It's a concern for Ladybird not Webkit.
It's about the licence. But OP is ok with that so.
No, I wouldn't consider. It's so much easier to Dockerize every application. And I'm running about 10 services on the single instance, so it's a lot cheaper too.
I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the icepack, I use a deep-pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond bodyscrub.
And on the face, an exfoliating gel-scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial masque, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Brings back so many memories.
WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Novell, and Wang Computers. So long, Mr Bastian, and thank you
this sound really spoiled. I think if your first experience with this kind of software is librecalc you'd be perfectly fine with it.

Especially because you mention usability. Expectations are very important for perceived usability, but librecalc is a different program so at some level you will have to use it differently. If any of those differences touch on your workflow, you will be biased towards calling it unusable instead of attributing this to just not being used to the software.

Fact of the matter is that LibreOffice allows a user to do office tasks for free. You might have to do it differently, but if you get used to it, it will be perfectly usable.
Related to what GP said, I think desires are complicated. What you (and commonly you hear) referred to as desire might be something like a "first order desire" -- either what you would desire if there were no constraints or consequences from your actions, or what you desire immediately (and not taking your long term life into account)[1]. I think it's a good idea to visualize the consequences of your desires, because actions have consequences and the world is inherently full of constraints. So you might "desire" (1st order desire) drinking, but not desire hangover or even becoming an alcoholic, or miss some opportunity because of over sleeping (or even increased health as well), so maybe update your desire to 2nd-order desire where the consequences and constraints[2] are taken into account, and if you still desire it (e.g. find sleeping a lot really worth it), then it seems fine.

I believe it's Carl Jung that talked extensively about bringing your unconscious into consciousness. Or Feynman: The first principle is you must not fool yourself, and you're the easiest person to fool :)

(Although I think it's normal to have some amount of internal conflict or inconsistency that we can only resolve as we go along, experiment, work and live)

[1] Maybe we should call those cravings?

[2] I think a more refined approach would add philosophical implications (e.g. ethics, meaning, etc..) as well
Would you want to have all smart TVs manufactured by the dominant advertising company? How do you think that would turn out?
Yes, but much broader. Subscribing to a textual content syndicate should be as obvious as subscribing to Spotify or Netflix. Meaning, you should be able to find high quality stuff to read within your subscription, no matter what you're looking for: news, message boards, instructions, articles, etc.

IMO the more interesting question is "why not fork Chromium"? The corporate effects of a browser monopoly are pretty obvious.

The less obvious question, and Im genuinely curious, is why do you need to rewrite the engines when there are at least 2 good compliant open source ones? The only way an engine rewrite is worthwhile is if yours is significantly leaner or faster, both seem very unlikely. An seemingly-impossible milestone of hitting party isnt that interesting, is it?
> Seeing someone ignore the naysayers and attempt the so-called impossible task of developing a new independent browser is awesome to see

Well the impossibility isn't so much in making a browser but making a browser that manages to get a chunk of web audience.

That means presence on mobile, feature and performance parity with Chrome, surprasing Chrome on some level (e.g. Safari having better vendor lock-in).
How do you get to be a bank CEO and fall for such a scam? Also, how do you hide $47M worth disappearing from your small bank without anyone noticing?
Serious question: what "must-have" technology has been added to fridges in the last 5 (or even 10) years? It's hard for me to imagine even wanting to upgrade that often. I could see upgrading for significant energy savings, but it seems like that's already mostly been picked bare.

(I rent, and I have what seems like a pretty modern fridge. The only real innovation I can discern between it and my childhood home's 20+ year old fridge is that it beeps when it's been left open for more than a minute.)
Dishwashers with hidden control panels?

Seems pretty low on the list considering the number of people I know who can't get theirs to keep water inside.

I have to load mine just right or it'll throw a ton of water on the floor. Once I figured out where stuff has to go I can make it work, but I don't feel like I should need to.

I know a guy with a pan under the door as a drip tray just in case.

This isn't wear or an old seal, they have been like this since new. They aren't fancy by any means.

A lot of them are more noisy, consume more energy, and emit a good deal more heat with the assumption you have a pro kitchen vent setup. The sort of appliances everyone had in the 90s were basically end game already. They still work today after all with pretty routine repair jobs should anything happen (probably won't).
> For some months, we’d had a very interesting idea. The idea consisted of the words “graph theory”, which we’d occasionally gravely recite to each other and nod knowingly, with some vague gesticulations, and not much else.
