Author here. I should've worded that better. The recommendation is not to stop compiling TS->JS for npm users. The whole npm ecosystem is built around the assumption that you ship JS and doing anything else would break it.

In Deno (disclaimer: I work for Deno), which supports running TS natively, packaging outside of npm has always worked by shipping the TS files directly. Transpiling them down to JS files is only something you ever had to do when publishing on npm.

So far the problem that a dependency only compiles with a certain version of tsc hasn't popped up since Deno was launched. But that may have been because Deno always ships with latest TS and Deno users don't hesitate to update as we haven't done any breaking changes so far.
This supports my hypothesis that poor management is driven by very human anxieties.
I've heard coffee can relieve migraines, including from a friend that has migraines and doesn't like coffee, and other people with migraines and these people don't know each others.

I've not read on the topic, at this point I wouldn't rule out the placebo effect, and it seems in your case coffee wasn't helping you, but it would be interesting to know if coffee caused migraines in you without the gluten.

Now, going on without coffee is nice too!

> Executives are human and they need the help of engineering teams to make some decisions. If every question about “can be ship this faster?” is answered with “no because we’re professional engineers who’ve studied a long time to build systems to high standards”, then that company will lose vs another competitor who had a more collaborative approach.

It's the executives' job to synthesize info from other orgs and understand the business. In social media apps for example, delaying a feature launch for better quality may not be worth it. In commercial aeronautics software, it matters a lot better.
I’ve always struggled with the extrovert/introvert dichotomy. The DSM-5 is pretty unsatisfying on this and it goes downhill from there in terms of scholarship.

I think it’s more useful to parameterize situations than people: one can never step in the same river twice.

These days “extrovert” seems to be asymptotically approaching “amoral charismatic” in common usage. We have nomenclature for amoral people who lead cults of personality.

I appreciate the desire to re-brand this type of extravagantly self-serving storyteller, given that we put basically no one else in any position of influence, but on HN I think we can still call them assholes.
Author here. True, I think I should've worded it better. I work for Deno and it being a JS runtime that is able to run TS natively makes this less of an issue. The problem that a dependency needs a specific TS version hasn't come up so far. But that might be because Deno users tend to update to the latest version pretty frequently as we haven't done any breaking changes so far.
The information you can get from light miscroscope images is quite limited though.

On the other hand, maybe it would be enough to filter out every cell that is not identified as a blood cell. This should be an easier task.

Probably we could direct only a small part of blood into this filtering machine at a time. Sounds like it would be still more like a machine detecting if there are cancer cells present in the bloodsteam rather than a machine eliminating metastasization.

I think the "cure cancer without biology" approach makes somewhat sense (I assume you would still need some biology :) ). Don't many surgeries already fall into this category? Let's say we made an automated colonoscopic machine that scanned the whole intestine and destroyed all abnormal colonic crypts. Now if this machine worked well, you would essentially cure at least those colon cancers that go through some aberrant crypt stage.
having near instantaneous builds is easy to achieve in C++ [depending upon projects, this will not happen for llvm] to the point that even REPLs for C++ exist that are used for large scale physics data analysis at CERN.
You want to automate your job internally to be able to get it done faster or focus on more interesting aspects, not externally such that you are replaceable by a tool, or a cheaper employee with a tool.
I'm struggling to view this as a security issue. Storing user data in files on the filesystem is how applications on general purpose computers work. This isn't an iPad.
I think what people are missing here is that his mathematics is describing a dynamic in observed interactions between magnetism and electricity that have something to do with vortex and toroidial fields. To understand the context one would have to study the life of Walter Russel first and understand how he was able to predict the existence of then-unknown elements. Also check out videos on "vortex mathematics" on YouTube. I'll admit here that this kind of delineation is vague by Terrence and could be better stated. I doubt his mathematics is supposed to generally replace "accounting" math.
We compile knowledge into institutions to reduce the burden of knowledge, distilling vast information into simple phrases. However, the rapid technological and cultural changes over the past 80 years have hindered the formation of new institutions. As technological improvements slow down, we will likely see more established institutions emerge, reducing the burden of knowledge and allowing us to break through the current knowledge ceiling.
One thing that was fascinating about the Rogers outage was on the wireless side: because "just" the core was down, the towers were still up.

So mobile phones would try to make a connection to the tower just enough to connect but not be able to do anything, like call 9-1-1 without trying to fail-over to other mobile networks. Devices showed zero bars, but field test mode would show some handshake succeeding.

(The CTO was roaming out-of-country, had zero bars and thought nothing of it... how they had no idea an enterprise-risking update was scheduled, we'll never know)

Supposedly you could remove your SIM card (who carries that tool doohickey with them at all times?), or disable that eSIM, but you'd have to know that you can do that. Unsure if you'd still be at the mercy of Rogers being the most powerful signal and still failing to get your 9-1-1 call through.

Rogers claimed to have no ability to power down the towers without a truck-roll (which is how another aspect where widespread OOB could have come in handy).

Various stories of radio stations (which Rogers also owns a lot of) not being able to connect the studio to the transmitter, so some tech went with an mp3 player to play pre-recorded "evergreen" content. Others just went off-air.

> After a year I did have the PFO closed...

If it's not too much to ask, how did you find that procedure and its recovery? I have a moderate PFO and have occasional migraines with aura as well, though in my case the pain component is minimal. My vascular specialist has suggested I consider having the PFO closed, but I have not looked into what is involved. I had a procedure to "deal with" a dural AVF a few years ago, and for some reason I have more anxiety about the PFO...but maybe that's just because I haven't read up on it yet...
Huh? Engelbart didn't like AI or at least didn't want his team to have anything to do with it:

>I recall seeing an interview with Engelbart that went over his split with the IPTO. He said that Lick came to him, and was taken with the hype with what was called “AI” at the time, that he was concerned that Engelbart’s research team at ARC had not put a focus on that yet, and that Engelbart seemed to have no intention of pursuing AI as a goal in the near future. Engelbart seemed frustrated/exasperated with Lick’s insistence on putting more attention on this. The discussion ended with Lick saying the IPTO could no longer fund him. . . . The take-away for me was Engelbart said this was “a sad parting,” because he was grateful, and had respect for Lick, but thought that he was wrong to press his team to pursue AI at that point.

Author here. Agree! The whole npm ecosystem is based around npm packages shipping JS files and doing anything else would break it. I've updated the article to hopefully make it less confusing. The takeaway should definitely not to only publish TS files to npm.

I mainly work with Deno which can run TS files natively (disclaimer: I'm employed by them). This changes the parameters a little as all registries for Deno could always ships the TS sources directly. But when publishing to npm you always have to publish the JS sources to work with runtimes like Node that don't support running TS natively.

Hamurabi is a text-based strategy video game of land and resource management. It was first developed under the name King of Sumeria or The Sumer Game by Doug Dyment in 1968 at Digital Equipment Corporation as a computer game for fellow employee Richard Merrill's newly invented FOCAL programming language.

Ah, I see your point now.

Sure, writing code will help you understand the problem better, and may let you see more corner cases. But not all (which was my point).
C++ is extensively used in HPC and in the lower level aspects of machine learning. I dont know what you are trying to make so I cannot make a recommendation.

C++ has a lot of pain points that are being either tackled by the committee or the community. But those pain points still rear their ugly heads.

But majority of the code for HPC and ML is written in C++ or has its core written in C++. Leaving such a huge set of libraries is not an optimal decision if you want to deliver your code without having to yak shave everything.
> Once an AI can do what I currently do better than I can, the next-most-valuable thing I can be hired for is repetitive manual labour

You move one layer up or down the stack. Build things that support AI, or orchestrate it.

One thing humans have and AI models don't is private personal experience. Your perspective can still be useful even if AI can do many things on its own.

Another thing humans have and AI don't - responsibility, you can't do anything to a bad AI, you can punish a person, so we can trust people more where there is a big stake.
"We did a lot with text based Unix browsers then, you could view source, run from a terminal, and never crash"

Can still do this today. I have been steady text-only user since 1993.

Even easier today than in 1994 since so much of the www is delivered as JSON.

Graphical browsers are for online shopping and other consumerist behaviour.

~/wrk/projectname/

If I haven't touched a project in a long time the 'projectname' folder gets moved to an archive disk. That prevents my /home directory from getting clogged with obsolete projects. I always try to keep my /home directory under about 10-12 gigs.

/a1 is "archive-disk number one":

/a1/comp is where computer code/information/manuals/etc is stored:

/a1/comp/j_wrk_master is where inactive code projects are stored indefinitely

'/a1/comp/j_wrk_master/projectname'

If the project needs to be worked on again, the '/a1/comp/j_wrk_master/projectname' folder gets moved back to become '~/wrk/projectname' again.

Rinse and repeat.

Circumventing an effective copyright measure (use) is a violation of section 1201, as is trafficking in circumvention tools (distribution). The major difference is that the act of circumventing itself may be protected by one of the exemptions approved by the Librarian of Congress every three years; there are no exemptions of any kind for the act of trafficking (which means that distribution of bnetd and PVPGN is illegal in all cases).

Near as I can tell, circumventing the access restrictions to enable netplay on a video game that is no longer distributed is not a DMCA exemption. (Circumventing DRM for a game whose DRM servers have been shut down is an exemption for local play only.)
Expected ROI.

Do you know what a jobs program is? I think a lot of confusion comes from people not understanding that a role that currently costs more than in brings in is absolutely not the same thing as a jobs program.

A jobs program is designed to just keep people employed at a loss by design. No expectation of a path to ever making money. The TSA is an example of a jobs program.

Author here. That's good feedback. Looks like that part of my article is a bit confusing and I've updated the phrasing a little to hopefully make it less so.

You're spot on with all of your points. The isolated declarations feature forces your code to be written in a way that creating the .d.ts files is a mere exercise of stripping syntax and can be done easily without invoking the tsc compiler.

For runtimes like Deno which support running TS natively (disclaimer: I work for Deno) you never had to care about creating .d.ts files when publishing your package to any of the Deno registries: previously /x, now JSR. In the background though we've always tried to feed the tsc compiler in Deno something like .d.ts files though as it's quicker for type checking purposes.

Anything C++ 17 and above is golden. I personally use a few things from C++20/23 and rely a lot on carefully reading and trying to understand https://en.cppreference.com/w/ when it comes to anything I might not be familiar about.

You dont have to use every single feature. Use whatever is required and if the need ever comes, go in depth with the language.

Its about to become way more complex and cooler after c++26 and 29 [with possible introduction of contracts and reflection!].
There is no way to completely learn this language anymore. I am not even gonna try.

Abandoned Houses (Akiya) in Japan: Opportunity for Foreigners
Japan, a country with a population of 125 million, has 9 million abandoned homes. There are various factors like declining population, very high urbanization, etc.

A lot of services have come up to help buyers because of the government's initiatives to help save areas with large numbers of abandoned houses.

This issue presents opportunities to foreigners to have cheap holiday homes which they can use as a side business using services like Airbnb.

Japan is one of those countries where a foreigner can buy property without needing a long-term visa. A foreigner can buy a house just on a tourist visa.
AI has meant different things to different people in different times. I think his NLS was designed to capture all of (your|a company’s|humanity’s) knowledge and then giving you the information you need when you need it at your fingertips, even with any blanks or conclusions or summaries already filled in. That is, to me, the same thing as a system knowing how Aristotle would have answered your question. (Jobs, in his speech, also, didn’t call this “AI“. He just spoke of “computers”.)

Should be pretty democratic, they use a method for proportional representation.

The problem may be that the elderly form a voting bloc, which can sway elections. Maybe this profusion of candidates indicates there are a lot of smaller groups that also want representation, but have trouble coordinating to win concessions from the larger voting bloc?
> “how much CPU time do I have for running this code?”

When someone asks me something like that, more likely phased like, “how quickly does this need to run”, “how fast does this page need to render”, etc., that’s the engineer I want to work with. Pair that with “how much of a benefit would there be if I get it to run faster” and you’ve got the makings of a superstar.

My experience:

Good engineering is about achieving organizational objectives, while understanding and managing tradeoffs.

People who aren’t asking questions of the above style, either fail to see the real-world purpose of their work, or they fail to accept that when doing even semi-competent work, the decisions they make tend to have both positive and negative consequences.

Without understanding those two things, it’s tough to be effective over the long term.

> On the other hand, if your goal is to probe the validity of your thoughts, this is painfully inefficient. You'll get much further if you do one or two simple passes on your writing, and then pass what you've written around and ask for feedback.

And how do you avoid having to start with a blank page. I have been reading "How to take smart notes", which delves into Zettelkasten, and the point of writing and linking notes is, indeed to refine your thoughts, and to be able to collect them into a larger essay/article/what have you.

As a self-taught person with an incredible idea-making brain and terrible note-taking skills, it's taken me almost 4 decades to learn that writing is a crucial component of understanding complex systems, and it doesn't start by the essay, which, as you say, only needs one or two simple passes. The essay is the tip of the iceberg, the important stuff is all the research and writing that leads to a topic or theory.
> I’ve always struggled with the extrovert/introvert dichotomy.

Yeah, I wonder if there's more to it than bullshit like the MBTI. It also doesn't seem to match what I observe of people. I don't think there really are extroverts in one side and introverts in another side, even accounting for different, finer levels. There are only if you expect to find such a split, at the cost of ending up with a wrong model for your observations.

I would be happy to be proven wrong, I'm curious about topics around personality, but the domain seems riddled with pseudoscience and beliefs. I don't know where to look. I'm not interested in theories that came out from someone's ass, I want proofs that come from rigorously applied scientific method.

Ricardo Semler experimented with this at Semco Partners and wrote a book about it which I read in the 90ies. It was called "The other way" in it's Norwegian edition. In English I think it is this one "Maverick! The Success Story Behind the World's Most Unusual Workplace". It was a about self run teams in and corporation democracy.

All though the article has an 100 percent correct description on how things can be in an organization, I do believe that what he describes is a badly run corporation, not a well run. I also believe that the way Semler reorganized his organization is an anomaly. It seldom works this way.

People, us all included, does not work well in cooperation when we are in large groups, without some sort of guidance. In corporations the most effecient guidance are incentives. That said, setting the right incentives and be able to adjust as you go is a very hard task. There is no "one solution" to how this is done, but if you succeed you usually reach your targets.
