Hey thanks so much for writing this up. This is a great post! I've only had time to skim the article, so my apologies if you covered this and I missed it: have you investigated whether specifying expression/function return type affects performance? I work on something of a large codebase, and I wonder if whether we annotated our returns, type checking would be faster.
Why are people talking about their kids on LinkedIn? Also if I tried something like that with my mom I wouldn't see daylight for a year.
The rules of physics have a very clear purpose: to predict how and when some natural phenomenon occurs. So the question can be re-phrased as: why did we come up with the notion of a neutrino, what phenomenon did it explain?

We certainly didn't just happen to see one colliding with with something, we knew they have to exist far before the first one was ever detected.
For those less familiar with npd/bpd - at the core of both (and codependency to a certain extent) lies inability to self-regulate emotions (especially difficult emotions like shame), that makes people with these PDs use those around them as "human pacifiers" that must regulate them in some way. In case of NPD by establishing superiority of the narcissist, in case of BPD via a fantasy of the other being a "perfect rescuer/knight in shining armour" who will save them from their own internal shame-based turmoil (and via seeing oneself as this knight/martyr saving a lost soul in case of codependency) . When a real human (obviously, eventually) fails to live up to the fantasy, they become "the issue" and are used to push the blame for unregulated feelings and behaviors (caused by shame that goes out of control without external soothing), until a new "fantasy person" is found, repeating the cycle.

Honestly, that's where I would draw the line between these two PDs and other conditions like ahdh and asd - is the behavior motivated by the frantic attempts to escape shame and shift blame?

Some anecdotally observed pattern suggests that many codependants in relationship with BPDs are either diagnosed with ADHD/ASD or suspect that they might have it, not sure what the causal link is.
This is a great feature that apps like Sublime, Notepad++, and BBEdit have and I admit to abusing it for years. Would be great if they add something like this.

But also I've realized I get better use of tools built for this kind of use. Basically tools that save your notes automatically all the time. At some point if some important notes are in Untitled 5 for nearly a decade then philosophically they deserve a title and a place in your file system. And probably a backup.
yes i think it was pretty obvious to anyone reading this article that Larry Tesler did not invent the physical action of cutting and pasting paper
Question: I started with a deliberately convoluted PDF which after much effort I filtered, sorted, reorganized and transferred the 18000 useful lines to a csv. These lines are simple, with dates, indicator and corresponding numbers.

The purpose is to statically analyze the numbers for anomalies or any signs of deviation from expected randomness. I do this all in python3 with various libraries. It seems to be working, but...

What is a more efficient format than csv for this kind of operation?

Edit: I have also preserved all leading zeros by conversion to strings -- csv readers don't care much for leading zeros and simply disappear them, but quotes fix that.
when i went to jail in boston (peaceful protest), BPD wouldn't release us until we gave them our social security numbers. when we showed up to court, they gave everyone a packet that contained the name, home address, mugshot, and social security number of everyone that was arrested. half of the time of the court proceedings was the NLG saying hey, what the fuck are you doing? can you please redact this?

Secure identification is a solved problem, you have a public part and a hidden secret part. Everyone knows your public part, but the companies never knows your secret part so they can't impersonate you.

This is what other countries are doing, this is a solved problem so identify theft shouldn't happen any more in any competently run country.
I think my kids are older than, yours as they are applying to college.

My impression is that kids have always been terrible, and even my teen is self-involved and arrogant and short tempered with siblings despite all external perspectives are that they are a quite decent and competent human.

Fertility is dropping, maybe it’s a factor, but being centered in developed nations it’s just the universal problem for 20 years: housing.

Housing costs outstripped income since the 90s, and post pandemic and post inflation busting interest rates, providing the type of stable life to your kids seems unattainable.

With kids you need bigger housing, you need a bigger car or a car at all, you need that housing to be some place safe and probably short distance from good schools. Even if you can afford that, which we can barely manage, than all our cash goes into housing, and there is less for retirement and college funds.

Yes, people can accept cramped conditions or take a gamble their kids won’t be impact by a gritty neighborhood gang or what not, but people just decide to wait, hope for better fortunes, and then whoops no babies anymore.
I used a (OS 7/8/9) Mac for years with a one button mouse. I was very productive with it! I remember seeing Windows 95 with its right-click context menus but I wasn’t very interested at the time. I was happy using keyboard shortcuts and the like.

I believe Steve Jobs was pretty adamant about keeping the one button mouse on the Mac for years and it was absolutely the right call. The Mac was way easier to use back then!
This is my (new) favorite answer. You've made something counter-intuitive seem simple and obvious. Fantastic!

Thanks for the detailed response, I wasn’t expecting an official reply. I can understand the reasoning.

The mitigation is good, though I did like pressing tab and having @fastmail.com autocomplete, which doesn’t happen now unless the input box loses focus (so enter alone doesn’t work). However I’ll just get used to pressing <tab> <enter>. I am nitpicking. The implementation is excellent (particularly onboarding).
Really? I see a fair number of small children in my neighborhood, aged from less than a year on up. If we grant that anymore extends back as much as six years, I'd say that quite a few grownups haven't got the message.
Simplest thing I could come up with:
Marketing is the message that describes your product (copywriting, branding, positioning) + the distribution channels to spread it to the right people (SEO, social media, ads, etc.)
To be clear, I think both of them are frauds (though one a lot more than the other).

If you’re being crushed by debt, following Ramsey’s (frankly commonsense) advice would probably be beneficial. If you have any other situation, his advice is going to be harmful to you. Especially compared to the advice you would receive from a real financial advisor, which Ramsey isn’t (though I’m sure a lot of his followers would be surprised to learn that).
Clonal DNA synthesis has increased in price over the past 6 years (even when accounting for inflation). On that metric, we’re actually regressing in our ability to modify the natural world. It’s even worse than stagnation.

Or even look at lab robotics - in 2015, you were able to buy a new opentrons for $2500. Now it’s about $10,000 - the only way to rival the old pricing is to scrounge around used sales.

Enzyme prices haven’t dropped in basically forever. Addgene increased plasmid prices a little bit ago.

I feel like computer hackers can’t even imagine how bad it is over here

Test-Driven Development for People
This is important to do, in my opinion. You should not assume that non-English-speaking users all understand a little bit of English. It also confers some SEO benefits.

That being said, if the URL has a language code (/en/), it would be good to change the language code manually, and still end up on the right page. Sometimes the language switcher is really well hidden. However a visible language switcher is even better.
'I hacked time to recover $3M from a Bitcoin software wallet'
Well, first off, Strongbox is Apple specific, and I don't use Apple devices. Second, it does not appear to be 100% open source, though it is based on some open source code from KeePass.

So the real question for me would be why not use KeePass, which is what I used before switching to Bitwarden. I switched because at the time, Bitwarden had better clients, better integration with Android and Firefox. That situation has changed some since, but I haven't had any good reason to switch back.
This is true, but there are a number of _good enough_ languages, and personally I don't think go is top-tier at this use case of being the go-to swiss army knife. I do think it is top-tier at being a good choice for tools in its niche. But not as "default language I reach for when I don't want to waste time thinking about it".
Decentralized Solana Crowdfunding Platform
If you have a 1 USD tier, the fees become 25.5%, 26.5% for non-US paypal. At 3 USD, it's 20%. At 10 USD, it's 17.5%. This is all before VAT and income tax.

How is that not unreasonable for such a simple service, especially as there are alternatives without such fees like Ko-Fi and LiberaPay?

I wonder if there's data on this so we don't need to rely on neighborhood vibes...
If someone steals my car and kills someone with it, I'm not liable for murder. I just had a car stolen.

If someone who looks nothing like me steals my passport and convinces someone to loan them a bunch of money, I'm not liable for that money, the person who loaned money to someone without checking the photo is just out of luck.

If the bank does the above, suddenly it's my problem for "getting my identity stolen".
Well, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure that in "UnlawFulLy" the capitals don't represent pronunciation stress points? Those would look more like "uNlawfullY", right?
I forgot all about that!

Back in the 80's, NYC had a program where the local police stations would lend you engravers so you could engrave your SSN on your TV, stereo, etc., so they could be returned if they were stolen and found. Probably also made pawn shops more reluctant to take them.

Guess it made sense at the time ;-)
I think "well established" is greatly overstating things. It seems to fall far below "established" at all.
Python upgrades are fine, actually. The python library ecosystem is a bit of a mess in general, which does affect this, but the tools have actually improved to make this more manageable lately.
I mean neither are particularly well defined or well understood diagnosises. Just identify with whatever helps you get through the day we're all in this together. I've been diagnosed with quite severe ADHD but the psychologist admitted I was displaying several autism symptoms as well so really it could be either but the fastest route to treatment here in the UK is ADHD (still shockingly slow). Seeing as the symptoms and treatments overlap and our medical systems are generally poorly equipped to deal with either I think fussing the line is a bit of a waste of time. Also not that many people are diagnosed or identify as ADHD, most people are neurotypical hence the typical bit, if you feel like ADHD is everywhere you need to get out of whatever echo chamber has been designed to make you angry about it. More love.
For example, floating point without can represent two numbers whose difference is smaller than the number can represent and rounds to zero. Subnormal floating point doesn't fix this, it just moves the impacts of underflow to smaller magnitudes that are less likely to be seen.

Look, -ffast-math isn't always fine, but specifically I'm looking at DAZ/FTZ enabled, possibly non-deterministically process-wide (which is bad, don't get me wrong!). But part of why this doesn't phase people is because in practice, programs don't care and the observable effects don't lead to bugs.
I too love my kids, and would not make the choice again. Timing is everything, and this is not a macro favorable to humans and parenting. I now do whatever I can to help people who don't want kids not have them. The cost of failure is simply too high. To those who want them, all I can say is "You're on your own, no one is coming to save you. I wish you luck, but don't be shocked when the outcome goes south."

> even if almost entirely rewritten, it still has the original date in the URL

If we're talking about blogs/news, they don't ever get almost entirely rewritten. The original publication is the only date that matters, and it matters a lot.

If we're talking about evergreen content like documentation, then of course you don't put dates in the URL. A small "last updated" on the page itself is appropriate there.
This is a gross mis-appropriation and application of MVP from "Lean Startup". Its use is for startups (not established corps) to learn about a problem space and find out what potential customers would be willing to pay for.

An internal tool doesn't have these aspects. What's being labelled 'MVP' here is a first fully usable version of an internal tool--quite different.

Folks can go redefining terms and writing about it, just don't expect everyone to follow along.

Among the channels or podcasts I follow that do sponsored blocks, some occasionally promote interesting services I haven’t heard about before, some (well, let’s be frank, there’s probably only one in the world that really hits it home: Map Men) can do even the most basic generic VPNs in a manner that can be equally or more entertaining than the rest of the video, making one literally wait to see the entire ad (even when it is at the very end), some do big but informative sponsored sections where the presenter interviews the business.

Not an expert but my understanding is that you can vend encrypted versions of otherwise proprietary datasets semi-publicly for random data scientists to do prediction on, then translate those predictions back to the prediction space you care about (e.g. stock price).

I've been frustrated by the ability to easily disable vehicle cellular systems. In older vehicles you could simply unplug the right cable and have it disabled. In newer vehicles I've found the cellular system to be integrated with other components -- making it impossible to disable without also getting a permanent check engine light.

Ideally I'd like some sort of CAM module that plugs in between the antenna system and the ECM that selectively drops telemetry packets.

There is (was?) also a terrible flaw with this, in that any site hosted on Notion (even using its own domain) would show you public pages with a valid page id.

So, if Paul Graham hosted his site via Notion (he doesn't), I could link someone to `https://paulgraham.com/Why-I-Hate-Hackernews-be2839f0-e145-4...` and it would show my (fake) page on PG's domain.

Chronos: Learning the Language of Time Series:

"We introduce Chronos, a simple yet effective framework for pretrained probabilistic time series models. Chronos tokenizes time series values using scaling and quantization into a fixed vocabulary and trains existing transformer-based language model architectures on these tokenized time series via the cross-entropy loss. We pretrained Chronos models based on the T5 family (ranging from 20M to 710M parameters) on a large collection of publicly available datasets, complemented by a synthetic dataset that we generated via Gaussian processes to improve generalization. In a comprehensive benchmark consisting of 42 datasets, and comprising both classical local models and deep learning methods, we show that Chronos models: (a) significantly outperform other methods on datasets that were part of the training corpus; and (b) have comparable and occasionally superior zero-shot performance on new datasets, relative to methods that were trained specifically on them. Our results demonstrate that Chronos models can leverage time series data from diverse domains to improve zero-shot accuracy on unseen forecasting tasks, positioning pretrained models as a viable tool to greatly simplify forecasting pipelines."

The way I have heard it explained is that a general low level inflation is more aimed at the rich than the poor. In that, if you look at the total money supply, most of it is in the hands of the rich, almost by definition.

So, if you have no inflation, or even deflation, then the rich just sit on their gold like dragons. It stays with them and doesn't circulate. The only change is really for gambling debts and having kids. It's not actually useful as a method of exchanging goods and services.

But if you inflate away the dragon's gold, then these rich asshats are pretty much forced to find ways to beat that inflation, just to stay stable. So, they go out and invest the money in gold mines and dunny roll companies. The rich then find out that they can actually make their gold piles larger than the inflation rate, sometimes.

That investment ends up being good for the poor as the rich have to give them jobs and these jobs pay wages and then you get the consumer economy of Henry Ford paying workers enough to buy the cars they are making (likely apocryphal). So, money then is flowing and not just sitting there. Which is kinda the point of money in the first place.

In general, inflation is about the rich. It just so happens that a side effect of inflation happens to mostly be good for the poor too. A very very rare win-win situation.

Or so the rich asshat tell me.
