Even when I worked as full-service attendant at a gas station forty years ago (yes, I’m the last of them), the owner told me there was little money in gas sales, the profit came from the other stuff sold. Enough so that we got a commission on stuff like a quart of oil. And full-serve gas was priced such that it paid my meager wages.

My point being, there probably never was a lot of margin on fuel. Which is why I’m surprised that more convenience stores with fuel aren’t putting in chargers because now you’ve got a captive audience for 20 minutes. They’re getting there, though, as I see AM/PM stores with EVGo chargers now in the PNW. And at $0.45/kWh versus $0.11 at home, there is profit to be made on electrons, I imagine.

The common view of how hard it is to move large stones doesn't match reality. There are many examples (eg [1][2]) of what one man can do without any heavy machinery. People have been moving large stones around for thousands of years. And the "how" is simply using leverage and the power of many people and beasts of burden.

Still, it's interesting that they would. I suspect many of them didn't have a choice.

Show HN: I quit my job and made an automatic time tracker
Hey Hacker News!

This is my first post here. About 5 months ago, I left my job because I was completely burnt out. After taking some time off, I started freelancing. But I found tracking my time to be a real hassle as I kept forgetting to start or stop the timer and often had no idea what I’d worked on.

So, I decided to build Taim as a side project, while also working now on some freelancing gigs. Taim is going to be automated time tracking tool for freelancers and teams. It’s designed to make tracking time effortless and accurate, so you can focus on your work and not worry about the clock.

I’m excited to share this with you all and would love your feedback! Currently planning to launch it to the public in a few months.

I'm really really not a fan of the constant talk about "safety". My issue is that it never actually points to anything tangible, anytime I read about safety it's always used in a roundabout generic way. There's so much handwaving about the issue but every time I've tried to dig into just what the hell "safety" means, it's always either refers back to itself (ie. "ai safety is about safety") or makes some vague reference to an LLM telling a mean joke.
Opencl gives you the subset of capability that a lot of different companies were confident they could implement. That subset turns out to be intensely annoying to program in - it's just the compiler saying no over and over again.

Or you can compile as freestanding c++ with clang extensions and it works much like a CPU does. Or you can compile as cuda or openmp and most stuff you write actually turns into code, not a semantic error.

Currently cuda holds lead position but it should lose that place because it's horrible to work in (and to a lesser extent because more than one company knows how to make a GPU). Openmp is an interesting alternative - need to be a little careful to get fast code out but lots of things work somewhat intuitively.

Personally, I think raw C++ is going to win out and the many heterogeneous languages will ultimately be dropped as basically a bad idea. But time will tell. Opencl looks very DoA.

and that imo is a good thing.

A recent example is the ATF's expansion of the NFA by redefining a dealer from "Someone who makes selling firearms their primary income" to "Makes a profit on a sale"

They effectively made everyone who ever sells a gun privately a felon.

And the ATF is headed by a guy who has zero firearm experience and couldn't even separate the slide off a glock.

Its a perfect example of a bad faith action and we only barely blocked its enforcement. Agencies with chevron were able to railroad whatever politicians wanted with zero accountability.

> * Specifying calling convention at all is a compiler specific extension.

Yes, because the calling conventions themselves are platform/compiler specific.

> There is no standard way of specifying a C calling convention without `extern`.

Well, on modern platforms you don't need to because there is only a single calling convention that is shared between C and C++. For legacy platforms with multiple calling conventions, you need compiler specific extensions by definition.

> The only portable way to specify C linkage in a C++ program is extern "C". You will always get the right ABI for your platform and it will work on every compiler.

Again, on platforms with several calling conventions `extern "C"` absolutely won't give you the appropriate calling convention all the time. See again my Win32 API example.

> The compiler will very often not tell you
> An incorrect ABI will usually be accepted and will just do the wrong thing or crash at runtime.

That's absolutely not my experience! Functions with different calling conventions have different types, so a C++ compiler must reject such code. See https://godbolt.org/z/6EnncE5v5. (Note that for the lambda case MSVC is smart enough to automatically add __stdcall whereas MinGW refuses to compile. The free function is rejected by both compilers.)

Can you show me an actual example where a C++ compiler silently accepts a function with the wrong calling convention?

> Your position works sometimes for some compilers and some platforms.

It has always worked for me so far and I write software for many different platforms.

Leaving is a huge leverage. Even easily replacable corporate drones cost a lot to replace. If a company needs to find someone willing to risk going to prison they will are much less likely to be successful.
While I agree with the author broadly, he is definitely overselling his thesis. Going from 'fewer grad students now care about problems in Journal of Algebra' to 'Math is running out of problems' is quite a stretch.

Take any period of time - some subfields will run hot & others will be fallow. Doesn't mean we have run out of problems.Trace formula for theta groups will appeal to only fifteen people - ok so what's the issue ? Math isn't some popularity contest. We have a ballroom at the university which is reserved for talks from visiting professors. When we have an economics lecture, usually it is jampacked. All 100 seats are taken, not even standing room. Then the next talk is by some topologist. The room practically empties out in real time. If you watched it live, you would be shocked at how fast people are rushing out of the room - you would think some stinkbomb was thrown. Finally, nobody is left other than the topologist himself & 5 grad students, 4 of whom look like they literally jumped out of bed & grabbed a coffee mug on the way. That's math for you. That's how its always been.
In this case I think the times have changed but old advice has stuck. From my understanding, cars until the 80s or so did need their oil changed this often, but newer cars with EFI and especially if you use synthetic, its no longer necessary to do so. Its been many years since I bought a new car, but IIRC even the mid 2000s you were supposed to get an oil change relatively soon after getting a car as fine particles that weren't entirely machined off should have been worked off in the first thousand miles or so and you were told to get an oil change then.

There is also the case of changing oil for hot and cold seasons- getting thinner oil in the winter and thicker in warmer weather to adjust. I think thats more or less a thing of the past as well, my Honda does not specify/recommend this in the owners manual but perhaps some cars do?

Old adages sometimes stick around forever though- especially when there is money to be made in keeping them alive.

>strapped to a chair, hooked up to machines, and being yelled at for hours

I've done periodic polygraphs, both lifestyle and full-scope, every 5 or so years since 1997. None of mine have ever lasted longer than 30 minutes.

You just sit in a chair while wearing some straps and there's never been any yelling involved.

It's all quite prosaic and relaxing actually.

It has been my experience that the clearance investigation process is quite simple, although I lead a very boring and law-abiding life.

I know of some people who have had quite long polygraphs and failed them repeatedly but my hunch is that the examiner has the findings of the background investigation in-hand and is trying to clarify some findings.

Many people with past financial, drug, or legal problems have gotten through the process with no issues just by being open and honest with the investigators and polygraphers.

So yeah, if the background investigator interviewed a friend of a friend of a friend and was told that 20 years ago you used to get stoned in college and whip your dick out but when asked during the polygraph about past drug use you go "I've been a squeaky clean boy my whole life" you're gonna have issues.

The annual financial disclosure is much more stressful just because of all of the damned paperwork.
The terms of service cannot shield you from federal law. Not sure if you're in the US or elsewhere but similar laws are prevalent around the world - in the US federal law prohibits the production, advertisement, transportation, distribution, receipt, sale, and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

This is an issue that could ruin you. The only reason it hasn't already is that the service isn't big enough yet. You undoubtedly already have CSAM on your network and any reasonable person with experience online would expect that, which is an important standard for you to consider. You're starting your own projects online at 17. You will do a lot of cool stuff in your life. Don't let this kill that inertia.

> My father did go the clearance route, and when I asked him about the polygraph he told me he confessed things to the interviewers he would never have told my mother.

And this is exactly the problem, people make stuff up all of the time under stress.

> Of course it is, but that is a misunderstanding that what you're watching is a real performance.

This is not the value. The value is that the polygraph is that its an end-run around employment law. You can't use a polygraph on a general employee to fire them nor can you fire them for many of things that they ask in a polygraph interview. However you can revoke their clearance and fire them for not having a clearance.
I’ve watched police interrogations too and they are both fascinating and horrifying. Those interrogators have a lot in common with shady used car salesmen. They twist and contort the truth to get whoever they want out of the person being interviewed. Except unlike the car salesmen the good interviewers really know their shit and can “corner” a person in their own lies. (I suppose a good salesman is just the same though)

It’s a weird place to be when you are rooting for the child molester/arsonist/muderer hoping they’d come to their sense and fucking CALL A LAWER YOU FUCKING IDIOT and SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!!!

But oddly, I guess maybe it’s a good thing “rape the kids and wife, shoot them point blank and burn the house down” criminals are too stupid to exercise such a basic right. Even the scummiest of police investigators give these people the option to shut the fuck up and call the lawyer. Sure the person might have to wait an obscenely long time before the lawyer shows up but they still are given the out yet these moron criminals think they can outsmart a highly trained police interrogator and choose to dig their holes.

Usually these people already dug their hole well before they are drug into the police station though. The on the ground evidence usually pretty much points to them already. All the confession does is save the state millions of dollars taxpayer money with courtroom proceedings.

So yeah… really mixed on the whole topic. Of course these videos on YouTube are selected to be the most interesting of the bunch. There are probably a hundred more mundane interrogations that go unseen for every one that makes it to a widely subscribed YouTube channel.

Its not quite that. The US is also different from other countries with large non-white minorities. I think you are right that race, ethnicity and other things (such as caste) are much the same thing: you are classified by some group you are born into, and you and your descendants cannot move out of. However it is also different in every culture.

It look me a long time to understand how the US is different from countries I know (which are definitely not homogenous, though some are fairly openly racist). I could see race was much more ingrained in the culture compared to the UK, but did not understand why. The insight for me (mostly thanks to Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste) is that race in American is a caste distinction: it is a hierarchy rather than just hostility to the outsider.

Bear in mind that particular example is in one of the most expensive places in the UK to live, and is pretty much surrounded by the most expensive neighbourhoods in the country.

>> What in 5 years? 10? 20? How long will "1 core should be enough for anyone using Python" stand?

If you're looking for a 32x or 128x performance improvement from python supporting multi-core you should probably rewrite in C, C++, Rust, or Fortran and get that 100x improvement today on a single core. If done properly you can then ALSO get the gain from multiple cores on top of that. Or to put it another way, if performance is critical python is a poor choice.

Yao is already fully designed. And while I haven't updated its example file [1] to include everything, it would only be a max of two or three times bigger.

This includes generics, an equivalent to Zig comptime, something like traits but more powerful, a solution to the expression problem, etc.

The solution is structured concurrency.

The only reason I am not working more on Yao is because I worked on it for three years at full tilt (because I constantly refactor to eliminate tech debt), and I am burned out.

But adding a new feature takes only about two hours max; I just add a new client-defined keyword.

I heard the same from a close friend whose family ran 3-4 gas stations.

She said they essentially broke even on gas (something like 1-3 cents of profit per gallon), but made all their money on items inside (she/her family was Asian, so they made a killing cuz they had an asian-styled buffet in their gas station in a small town in Indiana, the only one of its kind for miles)
I agree, though a big issue is that at some points progress can't happen without breaking backwards-compatibility. If the problem to be solved is that something is allowed which shouldn't be, then backwards-compatibility will prevent progress.

C & C++ allow quite a few things they shouldn't need to allow to accomplish their goals. They'll never stop allowing those things, so they'll never improve in certain ways.

Rust has a strong backwards-compatibility guarantee, and it has run into this issue with its standard library already. The edition system means the language can break compatibility in some cases, but the standard library can't. I suspect this will eventually prevent necessary incremental change, as it has for C & C++.
That sounds like a great project :) but

1. "Pingora is Not an Nginx Replacement"
https://navendu.me/posts/pingora/

2. you still put it behind ha-proxy
https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/issues/132

3. https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora says "Pingora keeps a rolling MSRV (minimum supported Rust version) policy of 6 months." so for anyone who dislikes the "constant upgrade treadmill", this won't help much.

So my summary would be that Pingora is a great Rust library which one day might be used for replacing nginx and/or ha-proxy.

But the main advantages of Pingora - which are the reason why CloudFlare is using it now - have nothing to do with Rust. Obviously, a software architecture designed in 2022 can take advantage of modern hardware in a way that an architecture from 2004 cannot. (Yes, nginx is that old). Intel's TBB library brought "work-stealing" to C++ around 10 years ago. The other big improvement in Pingora is moving from multi-process to multi-threading pools. Again, C++ had thread pools for years.

So Pingora is probably great and it's written in Rust. But the business benefits that it brings aren't coming from Rust. They are coming from the fact that it's a modern architecture.

I'm with the person you're responding to.

Credit cards just come attached to a piece of paper that is not, itself, attached to anything else. It's not obvious to me why he'd do it this way.
