with fast networks, huge disks, fast processors --- it seems wasteful to me to even consider shared libraries. Shared libraries is a technology that was useful when we were memory starved. We are no longer memory starved. So you replace the static binary? Big deal, size is not an issue (for 99% of the cases) given what we have today.

Recall, too, that the "link" step of those .o files is actually a "link / edit" step, where routines in the libraries not used are not linked.
I had hoped Robert Heinlein's hypothesis (in his fiction books) about zero-G lessening the demands on the hyman body and therefore increasing out lifespans would pan out.

So I’m more junior so I don’t understand why this letter is controversial. Is it not important to meet your business goals in a crunch and address systemic issues in some sort of post mortem or retro? I do understand that there exists “management debt” for intra team issues, similar to technical debt, but I don’t see how it’s problematic to ask to prioritize finishing a project that’s been signed and on for and deal with the issues later, especially with the state of the business at that time.

How might you reply to a someone from a few thousand or few hundred or even few dozen years ago that has your attitude? Might you be tempted to advertise to them what they are missing? Would they not be interested?
Is it by accident that "mitata", the project name, means "to measure" in Finnish?
What they've done here is a specific model of a specific physical phenomenon, that predicts higher extremes than the previous models predicted (and better agrees with certain observations that contradicted the previous models). Specifically, they are modeling certain aspects of how waves that oscillate both along and across the main direction of motion behave.

You can't apply this research itself to finance, because it's about the movement of water, not money. You might be able to take inspiration from some of the math, or take heed that even well established models can turn out to be wrong in significant ways.

PyPy seems soo underrated....

So much work, and so little recognition :-/ I was looking forward to trying it out but moved off python before the libraries I used were compatible (sqlalchemy I believe was the one I was really wanting...)

1. Why wouldn’t you vote? I don’t get it. You can vote and leave out particular elections. Or you could write in your own name. Educate yourself and make the best informed decision you can.

2. Voting status is not a protected class. If they want to fire you over it, they can. This seems absurd though.

I’d suggest you find another job if you think you’d be “into trouble” by voting a certain way or not voting.

Perhaps just keep your personal opinions to yourself if you think you’ll be ostracized… but I would not want to work in such a place.
Thats a good one. Seems like a scenario that is even more likely to happen because it would be much harder to find it in a code review than printf("user: %s, password: %s", userName, password) especially in a very large codebase. There is a lot less negligence required (though obviously not completely negligent free)
otoh, if all of your time is spent in python code and you have performance issues, it's time to rewrite in a different language. Correct multi threaded coffee is take hard and python is inherently really slow. the inherent complexity of multi threaded code is enough that you should just write the single threaded version in a language that's 10x faster (of which there are many)

It isn't uncommon to keep auth in a separate DB from the rest of your application. Your application shouldn't care about the schema of anything auth related, other than how you match an authenticated session to an application identity.
Not at all! I am broadly speaking very pro-tech.

What I am against is the “if it’s tech it’s good” mindset that seems to have infected far too many. I mention crypto because it’s the largest example of tech that is not good for the world.

In many cases, the fact that it's far from trivial to figure out whether your script is portable or not, makes them not portable for practical intents and purposes. I would say that for most people and most use cases, shell scripts are write once and hope you never have to edit them again, and even knowing one way of comparing values may be problematic while another might not be is beyond the given pay grade.
It does depend on the housing in question too.

As the study concludes, wind will absolutely tear apart a cheap house, or a structure not built to be resilient to wind. And most aren’t.

_But_ once you’re ready for wind , as we are, you live in fear of the storm surge accompanying a major hurricane. Especially since it lasts 4-6 hours and can overlap with high tide, that’s a 15-20’ sea level rise of churning water. No house can be practically hardened against that, and when wind is gusting at 100+mph it’s not safe to run or move.

When we anticipate a major storm surge + storm, we plan for an island-wide evacuation of 50,000+ people to seven small shelters.
I feel like something's missing here. I recall having to resort to the x-hack not that many years ago to acommodate for compatibility with a system shell somewhere. Beats me if I recall which and where but I'm pretty sure it had to do with empty strings.
Wave science has been tightly tied to lab models and computer models of lab conditions for as long as I can remember. It seems like an inherently calculatable environment, and the messiness of nature a distraction. This bias, I think, is what has caused it to lag behind the empirical reality of wave engineering. Observation is hard and often unfruitful. Simulation often fails to imagine the complex interactions that create extreme observations.

It’s just a hard slog any way you look at it.
Just another in an extremely long line of missteps by Intel.

Can you elaborate on why you feel this is a rant? I’m not a big Mark fan but generally it sounds like “hey you’re not hitting your goals and you claim it’s team issues and I need you balance the two” which seems like a reasonable ask especially when he explains why that’s the case?
Seriously? You’re a legal adult, not a kid. No one’s going to scold you like a child for how you vote, just like they don’t tell you what to wear or where to go. Voting is about your own opinions—it’s your right. So, why even ask if you’ll get in trouble for making your own choice? Get real and take control of your decisions
dart's syntax is very easy to pick up, sadly it's defined as a 'client-side language', instead of a general purpose one, otherwise I would invest more time into it.

while flutter is cross platform I think for the web, WASM is its focus, which I dislike, not sure what JS interop mentioned in the comment here really does. can Dart be compiled to readable JS?
It’s much more straightforward to ensure consistency with shared libraries, and not having to rebuild stuff. Wasting disk space, RAM, network bandwidth and processing time is what seems wasteful to me.
I've been in tech 20yr now without a degree (or even good school results) and this sometimes gets picked up during interviews (in a positive way) because it's less common.

First job was 1st line tech support and moved up the Ops IC ladder ever since.

Still to this day tech is one of the few industries where you can go far (and be financially rewarded) despite lack of academic background.
Yep, but not as often. They seem to flash and disappear when I'm moving or resizing a window or something.
Probably the implicit threat.
Did you read the headline or the actual email? This is definitely not non-hostile. He flat out says "I don't care about the team"
Weird. Did something happened with DNS?

Looks like http://archiveiya74codqgiixo33q62qlrqtkgmcitqx5u2oeqnmn5bpcb... is still online.
Hard disagree, and I don't think your quote accurately summarizes what the email says. On the contrary, when I've seen teams in large companies focus on nebulous goals like "fixing the team", it usually ends up being a sad, sad exercise it futility. What I've seen be much more effective is to give teams a very clear, concise business objective that they can all drive towards.

Zuckerberg didn't say "go on a death march and burn the team out". In my view he gave clear instructions on which features should be paramount, which can be immensely helpful for a team building a product.
> Isn't the goal of a non-profit by its very definition... not profit?

Yes, and if you have a bunch more money then you can do more non profit activities that help the world.

Getting as much money as possible, so that the money can be used for your great cause, is the best way to effectively run a non profit.

> then it seems that they explicitly shouldn't care about making $20 billion

Of course they should, because that 20 billion dollars can be used for its goal more effectively than having control over a lower value asset.

> compared to the lightcone and the kardashev scale and whatever else.

You are pre-supposing that openAI's model itself is some magic, infinitely valuable asset already.

Its not. If it were, then it would already be worth 10 trillion dollars. But its not worth that.

Therefore the money is worth more than the asset. There are lots of other AI groups around here. OpenAI is just one of them, and they are not infinitely valuable.
So use a 1km tether. Lots of room in space.
Where is JS Interop used in the first example? (It's a bit hard to tell with the wildcard imports how much of that is actually coming from web.dart.)
It's just a technology problem.
I'd really like to see an in-depth analysis of multiple such cases of ... what to call it? Vice permissivity? And what effects stack up.

I strongly suspect that one element of legalisation is that it normalises the activity, which lowers all sorts of social and psychological barriers to participation.

Another is that it creates self-organised self-interest groups. This is actually a really great way to ensure the longevity of governmental programmes, with both positive and negative examples: welfare systems such as Social Security, Medicare, and the ACA in the US are all immensely popular with the elderly, a staunch voting block, to the extent that its general trend toward conservativism doesn't fully mute interest in social welfare. The military-industrial complex is another, and a recent discussion I'd heard of the Inflation Reduction Act highlighted the constituencies built in to support it even in deep-red southern US states.

In the case of legalisation of gambling, drugs, and sex work, what had previously been the purview of criminal gangs now becomes "ordinary business" (though the thought occurs that the distinction between the two may be less than is commonly understood). To the extent that established businesses prove to be highly effective at defending even the most indefensible of practices (tobacco, alcohol, asbestos, lead, plastics, fossil fuels) is well established, and the risks of that path should be strongly considered.

Another option is to decriminalise rather than legalise a practice, but focus on policing the most problematic elements of the practice. That might be the provider side (as with drugs and gambling) or the consumer side (as with sex work, targeting johns), or on going up-market and tightly limiting or prohibiting private aggregators (e.g., pimps, drug lords) rather than focusing on low-level actors (streetwalkers, individual workers, street crews within drug operations).

State-operated operations (gambling, lotteries, alcohol and tobacco sales, drug distribution *with integrated treatment), is another option, though it too isn't a surefire solution. My view is that lottery programmes in the US are out of control and a net negative, though in part that itself reflects the public-private partnership in the operation of many of these.
While rediscovering the world with kids is more wholesome, if you want the raw experience of looking at nature with novelty in your mind, try LSD or magic mushrooms.
Printed media were emotional and sensationalistic too when there was not TV yet. Journals like that still exist and they used to be common and large. Sensationalism changed form, that is it.

It's so fun to watch after the history happened and see what worked and what didn't and how they ended up just having to pay $1 billion for their competitor. I'm dreaming of a world where companies can't just buy their monopoly, crazy I know.
I use this to set up reverse tunnels, for example to set up MongoDB replica sets which sync through SSH. It kind of simplifies the security aspect of replica sets a bit, since then MongoDB does not need to be exposed to the internet and no VPN setup is needed.
Maybe because all too often "management debt" get balanced on the backs of the engineers. We're always being led to one "don't care about the costs, get it done" situation to the next.

I haven't seen any information that could be used for this in the RSS feeds I've looked at. You could scrape the website, especially if it's all running on your own computer, but if you do it on a server you'll almost certainly be blocked unless you use a third-party scraping service. The WSJ in particular is super aggressive; you'll probably be OK with the NYT, which has a personal use exemption.

Unfortunately Anthropic and OpenAI have kind of ruined scraping for everyone else.
Basically yes. If you want to get technical about it, it's not tracking movement it's tracking acceleration, which you can then integrate twice to update position.
Pretty easy to say when you got an app that prints money by stealing data.
Back then when people read a lot there was "junk literature". I read it a lot when I was younger. There was no dept of character development nor complex plots. It was formulaic, simple, you got your violence/romance/thrill/whatever fix for the week and moved on.

The things people read when they read a lot were not deep masterpieces. They were, basically, shovelware in book form.
Hey I stick to organic payment processors, like maple syrup. Decent inflation, can be prone to blight or other natural disaster but none of that synthetic stuff.
My dad used to work on certifying, servicing and making custom instruments for planes, subs, prototypes of all kinds of that era (60s to mid-90s).

His “lab” was basically all about testing and simulating environments for the instruments. He had tons of sayings about not having room for error in his line of work. This is as close as you can get from “building bridges” and to this day I don’t think I have seen this level of attention to detail/perfection in any other profession.

His job involved electronical engineering , mechanical engineering and programming amongst other things, not to mention a deep knowledge of the physics of these environments.

Back then also the tools or source of information that were available to them were quite crude compared to what we have now.

His spare time was all about flying, pimping his ham radio gear with all kind of “home made” electronics, build antennas and messing with computers. I guess he’d qualify as a “Hacker” nowadays.
You can theoretically ship at any time. But it might be broken, slow, harmful, or fail some critical objective.

Team dysfunction is inseparable from tech dysfunction. Imagine one team owns three quarters of this service as another owns half of it. Or more likely, one owns a tenth of a problem space and another owns a fifth. Suddenly you need a fully realized solution. Who will step up? Well, you’re the one who actually needs it…but surely you don’t have to start from scratch? Surely…?

Then there’s just the fear of showing your ass. The day after it launches, who will be in hot water? Will it be you, because you agreed with the PM that your substandard code could ship? Why didn’t you flag the problem earlier? Get more help? Tell someone you weren’t already a superstar at this infra or that architecture?…

And then recall they did ship, it sucked, they bought Instagram. Then WhatsApp. And dozens of others

I guess the lesson is: yelling “go faster!” at a blocked-up engine is only gonna go so far. Mark’s (and many others’) move is to apply money to replace or get additional engines. Or roll up your sleeves and fix the org and culture…doesn’t have exactly “founder mode” romance to it tho, and there’s scarcely a harder task out there.
I'm not close to these deals, but my understanding is you have to have some existing connection to the CEO or at least very senior VP's for it to be an actual reality. So I wouldn't feel too bad!
> Elite level performers use deliberate practice and credit hard work to their success instead of talent.

> Mediocre performers don't use deliberate practice and credit talent to their success.

The author then implies that deliberate practice and hard work are the key to success. But it could also be the case that elite level performers _are_ talented and they achieve success by exploiting that talent through hard work, while mediocre performers wouldn't achieve the same level of success even if they worked as hard.
If I understand correctly, the issue is not even the citizenship of a clients. The issue is currency. If any two humans in any country wish to transact in the Swiss Franc then that transaction must go through Swiss clearing bank. If they wish to transact in the USD, then it must go through US clearing bank. In both cases client bank must comply with the clearing bank rules. Swiss banks can totally sever interaction with USA, but only if they will also never ever transact in USD.

Show HN: An all in one content editor for email, push and SMS
Hi all,
I am trying to get some feedback on a product we are planning to launch next week. blocfree.com

We initially (me and my co-founder) came from Uber where we built their growth marketing stack and trying to bring a unified growth stack that teams can use across both marketing and eng.

Our goal is enable a unified content editor to manage templates across various channels and then eventually export them to sendgrid, mailgun, mailchimp etc...

Also in our thinking is to expose those templates as API's so engineering can reference those templates in their code.

Love to hear everyone's feedback is that something useful? Is template API something you would actually use?
