> It's your day to day project and you expect to be working in it for a long time.

I don't think we need to restrict the benefits quite that much—if it's a project that isn't my day-to-day but is in a language I already have set up in my IDE, I'd much prefer to open it up in my IDE and use jump to definition and friends than to try to grep and hope that the developers made it grepable.

Going further, I'd equally rather have plugins ready to go for every language my company works in and use them for exploring a foreign codebase. The navigation tools all work more or less the same, so it's not like I need to invest effort learning a new tool in order to benefit from navigation.

> Yes, an IDE will save you time daily driving. But there's no reason to sabotage all the other usecases.

Certainly don't sabotage, but some of these suggestions are bad for other reasons that aren't about grep.

For example: breaking the naming conventions of your language in order to avoid remapping is questionable at best. Operating like that binds your business logic way too tightly to the database representation, and while "just return the db object" sounds like a good optimization in theory, I've never not regretted having frontend code that assumes it's operating directly on database objects.
yes, i agree that standard web dev is full of these problems, which can't be solved with go-to-definition and find-usages. it's a mess. i wasn't claiming that these messy, hard problems where grep is more helpful than etags are exotic; they are in fact very common. they are harder than the problems lucumo is evidently accustomed to dealing with because they don't have correct, complete solutions, so we have to make do with heuristics

advice to the effect of 'you should not make a mess' is obviously correct but also, in many situations, unhelpful. sometimes i'm not smart enough to figure out how to solve a problem without making a mess, and sometimes i inherit other people's messes. in those situations that advice decays into 'you should not try to solve hard problems'

The issue is that banks have asinine security practices.
I'm no physicist but this is weird to me; it implies that the sun's light originates at the core, instead of for example the glowing plasma at the surface. Or is it in addition to? That is, photons originate all throughout the mass of the sun, some of which bounce around for 100K years before coming out at the surface?
PREEMPT-RT is almost completely in mainline. As your linked article says, pretty much the last issue is printk. You can download the last patch here, it's not much anymore:

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.11/

And this is the only way you'll get large changes like these into the kernel: slow and steady.
Deep down in the sun photons are absorbed almost as soon as they are created. In a sense the photons at the surface of the sun are the result of nuclear reactions thousands of years back. However neutrinos escape pretty fast and so can be used to gauge the status of nuclear reactions now.
The title somewhat sounds like the image was taken in some random night but that is probably many years of data contributing to that image. They have a similar image [1] from more than 20 years of data. The article is from 2010, they started collecting data in 1996, depending on how much the image predates the article this might be up to 14 years worth of data. According to this paper [2] they expect to observe about ten solar neutrinos per day.

Huh? A bit of a stretch there.
> Also, it's very hard to figure out during interviews if the person is "smarter". What does that mean? They can solve more Leetcode problems?

Not at all. "Smarter" and "spent enough time grinding leetcode" are almost entirely orthogonal. Trying to measure "smarter" by leetcode is even more misguided than trying to measure "good candidate" by leetcode.

I've interviewed a fair number of people. During the interview, we ask them questions, trying to figure out what they know. With this one candidate, though, halfway through the interview we changed - we started asking questions because we wanted to learn things.
> I don't know where you're buying PCs but where I'm from there is always an option to buy the PC with FreeDOS at a discount of about ~$20-30 compared to the Windows version. Lately, I also see an increase in Ubuntu computers.

I'm not from there, it seems. The best you can do here is build your own PC, or go with a distributor (typically Dell/Lenovo) whose configuration allows opting-out of buying an OS. Needless to say that it's not a mainstream purchasing behaviour.

> MSFT have spent a lot of time, effort and dev years ensuring that their customers can run their software without breakage and downtime.

That wasn't my point at all. It was to stress how the ludicrous track-record of Microsoft anticompetitive practices, establishing and sustaining a decades-long monopoly, barred non-expert and non-enthusiasts from experiencing (possibly favourable) alternatives.

The last 20 years makes me question glib use of the word "elites" to refer to any arbitrary collection of individuals not necessarily based upon their wealth or whatever imagined social status the person invoking the word wishes to convey, with regards to said arbitrary collection of individuals.

You basically vomited a series of pop cultural phrases and managed to paint a clear picture with them, but i question your very mental boxes.
I looked at Helix but since I dream in vim motions at this point (vi user since it came out) I'd have to see a 10x improvement to switch. VSCode didn't give me a 10X improvement, I doubt Helix would.
Why would paying off medical debt help any of them? They already received the service, it can't be repossessed. It's not as if their medical credit was maxxed out and until it was paid down they couldn't do another ER visit. Paying medical debt only helps the creditors, whoever they are. Similarly, if you're paying cash towards people's rent deposits, it's more like welfare for the landlords. Especially if a financial hiccup will have them evicted again in a few months.

> It treats people with money problems as fellow citizens rather than science projects. It empowers them to make their own decisions.

Maybe they are in trouble because they make poor decisions.
One of the problems is that storage inefficiency is already built-in to most new PV installations. Well over half of new installations are based on grid-phase-sync microinverters. Adding storage to the system involves adding rectification and re-inversion losses.

If solar installers would default to building out DC -> primary inverter systems, then adding storage would be much less lossy. But as it is, economics drives the industry to strongly prefer microinverters.
Agreed. So long as the code hits performance and business goals, there doesn't need to be an emphasis put on "newness" or any other sort of vanity metric - make the code obvious, searchable, and understandable so that in a time crunch or during an outage it's easy to search and find the culprit.

Intuitively, audio is way more sensitive to phase and persistence because of the time domain. So maybe audio models look more like video models instead of image models?

I'm not really sure how current video generating models work, but maybe we could get some insight into them by looking at how current audio models work?

I think we are looking at an auto regression of auto regressions of sorts, where each PSD + phase is used to output the next, right? Probably with different sized windows of persistence as "tokens". But I'm a way out of my depth here!

Performance-driven development: methodology for building systems powered by LLMs
Title is wrong in implying Balmer is incorrect and the article shows that the title is wrong. If clickbait is misleading, then this is worse than clickbait, no?

> Ballmer states that the answer is "No" for two reasons: firstly, because he can pick numbers that'll be the most difficult for you...

The article goes on to show that there are numbers where a binary search always has the guesser paying $1
This write-up makes the erroneous assumption that he's choosing randomly. He himself says, in this same write-up, that he's choosing adversarially.

Nice write-up anyway, and yes, Ballmer is wrong.

One situation that comes to mind is configuration of applications on containers using environment variables.

It's extremely valuable to be able to just `grep -r PREFIX_` on a codebase and be able to visualize all possible configuration values for that application.

This is encouraged by some frameworks like Django, where you are expected to list all the configuration values in a `settings` module, but is not standard for `viper`, `click` and `pydantic-settings`, which try to be too smart and auto-generate the variable names for you. It's one of these cases where "modern" frameworks and applications try to save a minuscule amount of work by automating some task, but end up reducing the maintainability of the code over time.

Could you be more concrete please? What did you do? What did you experience?

Basically I'm asking this because I'm trying to understand. I see two options:

option 1: the oven is lacking several expected safety features and it is actually dangerous.

option 2: the oven has the usual safety features, you (and your toddler) were perfectly safe, you just didn't know this because you don't understand how gas ovens functions, and what safety features they have.

On any modern oven if you turn the gas on and the flame goes out (or does not light at all) the gas flow stops. You have to keep the knob pressed in to start the flow just turning the knob does not on itself enables the gas to flow. At the same time the action of pushing in the knob starts sparks which light the gas flowing out.

For a toddler (or you) to blew up the oven they need to turn the knob, push it in, and the ignitors need to fail to ignite, and you or your toddler need to keep pushing the knob. Are you saying that the ignitors failed? or that the thermistor failed to shut off the glass flow?
Yes it is both, photons are emitted everywhere in the sun. The photons emitted on the surface will come directly to us, but those emitted in the core will take thousands of years to get out.
The issue with private equity (PE) at Center Parcs UK (CPUK) is that the debt that was used to buy CPUK is being serviced by the company itself. The PE used debt they're not paying to pay for them getting to profit off something.

If CPUK was just spun off and IPOed, the money from the sale of shares, and/or loans with shares as collateral, could have been used for the capital investments needed.

Instead, there's a private equity firm providing nothing of note, taking profit and saddling the actually productive enterprise with debt for the privilege. For another popular example from the UK, check Manchester United. That's the other big issue with PE, other than the fatal short-termism.

What elements of the quality system's quality would you think need assessing?

(I think your question's a valid one, and a quite good one ... a high-quality question, if you will. I also Have Thoughts, but would prefer to see you expand your question before polluting the idea space with my own biases and opinions. Though if I may steer the conversation somewhat: audits. Of what and how would be informed to your response to my first question though.)
Not really; knowing the library, I suspect is just many, many layers of trivial templated functions that normally just get optimized away to nothing, but at -O0 bloat the code. -Og can sometimes help in these cases.

It seems some people have a higher innate need for personal agency. Where many are satisfied to just be stable (nothing wrong with that), despite being well fed, without a sense of agency I wither. My dad seems to have exactly the same ailment.

This need for agency is not rational, and cannot be reasoned with. You cant offer it trades of money or favor, and it seems that it is absolutely incapable of being fooled. It asks not for agency over others, but only that what an individual does each day is self driven.

It probably has very different influence on someone whos goals naturally synchronize with those around them, rather than naturally invert.
Looks good OP - I frequently look at the stargazers list for various repos and see if there's overlap in interest between projects.

Yes, this is correct. I disagree with the other guy who said that it was ambiguous. Claiming the prices were hiked by 300% is simply wrong.
> Strangely enough, instragram, tiktok, youtube and other social sites have never managed to hold my attention for more than a few minutes.

Same for me. I guess the difference is that HN, Reddit, Wikipedia, and even TV Tropes are giving you some knowledge, occasionally even useful one; every now and then you'll stumble onto something that solves an immediate problem you have, or is otherwise transformative. That's variable ratio reinforcement right there, the basis of gambling addiction, made extra potent because the occasional win you get is actually real and lasting.
> My feeling about Rust is that it's a playground language where many ideas are tried and insights can be formed

No, from the very beginning this has been an explicit non-goal of Rust.

http://venge.net/graydon/talks/intro-talk-2.pdf

Rust has used reaserch from 80s and 90s languages. The result may seem novel because the programming language theory and languages that Rust copied are not well known among systems programmers. The ideas are old, Rust added the polish and packaging of the features with a focus on practical non-reaserch use.

Rust isn't that new any more. 1.0 has been released almost a decade ago.
rr looks interesting. It should be useful for debugging race conditions or something "random based": once you record the issue it becomes 100% reproducible in your debugger.
