I thought it was simply a response to git5/git-multi getting deprecated once fig became popular.

I'm a bit surprised then, that's one of the things that has kept me from trying it as it feels weird to not have that much control over what gets into the commit. Using magit doesn't help as it's just way too good once you get used to it.

>What’s something you’ve learned that you believe gives you an edge - something that you’re almost surprised more people don’t know about?

I don't know if it's just me but I would not be stoked to be asked this question during an interview. During interviews you're implicitly trying to differentiate yourself from others vying for the position. You usually do this by talking about your experience in different ways. I find it annoying when the interviewer explicitly asks you to differentiate yourself from others vying for the position. In part it annoys me because I think that should be the job of the interviewer to determine based on how I've answered their concrete questions about my experience. But also explicit questions like this one give such an opportunity for bs that I do not think they give a lot of signal. I guess I could be wrong though and don't spend enough time thinking about what makes me better than other people.

Roast my startup: Ranti the perfect productivity app–or at least, soon to be
Hello Everyone,

Since I've been juggling tasks, subscriptions, reminders, and important links for a while now, I decided to create a solution that would make my life (and hopefully yours) more organized. As a software engineer, I built Ranti.Me, a smart productivity app that helps you manage your tasks, subscriptions, links, and soon—your habits. Here's the lowdown:

What We Do:
Ranti.Me is designed to streamline your day-to-day management of tasks, subscriptions, links, and habits, all with the help of AI and intuitive features.

The Problem:
Keeping track of everything—work tasks, personal to-dos, subscriptions, important links, and eventually habits—is overwhelming. You end up using multiple apps and still miss important things.

Our Solution:
Ranti.Me consolidates everything into one app with a user-friendly design, and here’s what makes it special:

Voice-Powered Tasks: Got an idea or a task on your mind? Just record a voice note, and Ranti will turn it into a detailed to-do or even break it down into subtasks.

Subscription Tracking: Tired of missing subscription renewals? Ranti organizes and reminds you about your upcoming payments, so you're always in control.

Link Management: Save important links and set reminders to revisit them, ensuring you never forget about valuable online content.

Smart Notifications: Never miss a beat with customizable reminders for tasks, subscriptions, and links.

Apple Calendar Integration: Tasks generated from voice notes can sync directly to your Apple Calendar, ensuring everything stays in one place.

The Benefits:

Stay Organized: Ranti brings together your tasks, subscriptions, and links with smart reminders, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Seamless AI Assistance: From creating tasks out of voice notes to managing recurring reminders, Ranti makes task management effortless.

Daily Productivity Boost: With personalized notifications, link management, and soon, a habit tracker, Ranti is your all-in-one productivity powerhouse.

So, roast away! Is Ranti.Me a game-changer for productivity, or just another app lost in the sea of task managers? Let me know what you think!
I would like to think that if there were any interaction between theses putative deposits to the groundwater that we wouldn't have needed an ML model to find these deposits in the first place!

I'm thinking the right way of doing it is to embed in a viewer. So that the original stays untouched but visible quality gets better with new technologies.
Realize I didn't answer your qeustion.

Online courses aren't really holistic enough and not fundamental enough. They are usually dertivatives which are a translation of sorts from source documents.

For medicine you want the source documents which you can really trust.

Meidicine isn't static - it'll keep changing but its important to know source mateiral and tracking how outlooks and fixes for diseases change from there.

UptoDate.com has the best deciison science -newest knowlege. Thye are about 18 months old from cutting edge research. (Which is a good thing).
We take trips to Europe every couple of years, usually around a big city with lots of tourist attractions (like Paris / London / etc.); there's a lot of planning involved, sometimes including purchasing tickets using various museum / attraction websites and it's a PITA to keep track of the itinerary and all the e-tickets, timing, etc.

Never found a solution for that particular problem. I tried Wanderlog -which sounds good on paper- but it was too clunky to use. Needs something simple and clean. I like this UI, but it's for a different purpose than going to a city with lots of attractions / museums / restaurants / etc.
If you're not using PAM then you don't get these.

For example, Kubernetes doesn't use PAM in the pods it creates to run your containers.

You might think "who cares", but I've written code that is agnostic as to whether it's running in a logged-in user's session or something else. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41916623
Router malware is the one thing out of those thing that seem plausible.

If you have physical access, TLS isn't much protection against eavesdropping. At that point they can just compromise your hardware instead.
I think there's a genuine conversation to be had about whether there even is such a thing as "hate speech." There's certainly "offensive speech," but if that's what we're going to try to eliminate, then it seems we'll have a bad time as the offense is definitionally subjective.
This breaks the anonymity of the vote, marks can be traced back to real people.

It also allows fraud by voting for people who didn't show up.
I have a related question: Is learning interlinked with writing?

You can't replace reading with other sources of information like videos,

thank you I guess, I started with php because of rapid development and TDD, but now you can transcode php to C++ or WebAssembly pretty easily, so using vkphp or once wasm socket will be in spec than it is free easy transcode (or using Emscripten), or second option since code is quite simple it will take like barely one week to rewrite it in c++ or other languages which is my plan once the game is future complete and stable (hopefully I will not have to develop my own language :D)
Kind of, that isn't what many FOSS advocates of RISC-V are expecting, yet that is how many things will go, if it ever reaches ARM adoption levels.
MacWages: An alternative use for The Economist's Big Mac index

Most of these are tradeoffs. Space and freedom is clearly what is sacrificed in this tradeoff, but that doesn't mean it isnt realistic. I tend to agree that these are the choices people are presented with. the question is just the balance they choose to strike.
> They haven't turn into the economic power house the US is right now either.

And literally nobody else has in the history of the planet. There’s zero reason to ascribe 100% of this to our socioeconomic system, particularly given how much that system has changed and evolved over the years.

We also might have overall wealth but that doesn’t mean much when the life of the median person is demonstrably worse than that of one in many other wealthy nations. Further, we are getting crushed on happiness in life. And isn’t that the metric we should actually give a shit about?
It's really more of a reflection on where we're at in the timeline of computing, with humans having been the major user of apps and webs site up until now. Obviously we've had screen scraping and terminal emulation access to legacy apps for a while, and this is a continuation of that.

There have been, and continue to be, computer-centric ways to communicate with applications though, such as Windows COM/OLE, WinRT and Linux D-Bus, etc. Still, emulating human interaction does provide a fairly universal capability.

I've recently packed some Linux software in flatpak. It's surprisingly good.

Not as good as a real capability-based access control, but quite good compared to the other things that are usable on Linux.

> For the Big Mac wage analysis (the MacWage, for short), we started with full-time, pre-tax earnings in 2023 as reported by the OECD, a club of 38 mostly rich countries. We then made a simple adjustment, dividing wages by the price of a Big Mac—all in local currencies. That gave us the number of burgers that the average full-time worker can buy annually.

> A standard objection to any measure of higher incomes in America is that its workers generally get less time off. To factor this in, we looked at average hours worked, based on data from the OECD and the Conference Board, a business-research group. This yields slightly different results. Americans still get more than enough Big Macs—pulling in the equivalent of about 7.4 per hour on the job—but they drop to third in the ranking.

> The MacWage is, of course, far from perfect. Danes may celebrate their top performance, but our measure misses how income taxes (which can surpass 50% in Denmark) eat into their burger budgets. Much else of what goes into the cost of living, from housing to transportation, is also barely reflected in the price of burgers.
> But the React API, for some areas, feels complex and boilerplatey

You may or may not have noticed this, but the React API is a bit counterintuitive to how JS or any other code you normally write would work because the component function gets invoked repeatedly so any code in the path of the functional component that's not externalized into a hook or memoized will be invoked again.

That's also why in local dev mode, you'll see the render cycle executed twice so that you can spot any undesired side effects due to this design choice.

So a lot of the complexity is to deal with this specific design choice to determine when code inside of the component function needs to be re-executed. In React, you need to explicitly opt-out of reactivity while in nearly every other framework, you are opting-in to reactivity.

For me, I've always seen this as the weirdest footgun because it's antithetical to the underlying language and runtime behavior so developers need to be explicitly aware of this behavior.
Probably not much, but this is not the only change the language brings.
Of Course You Don't Watch Session Replays
> What I don't understand is the !void at the end of the declaration, if we're meant to be returning an int, surely !int would be the expected syntax (although I would prefer returns int instead).

`!void` means the function can return an error (e.g. return error.BadArgument) but doesn't produce any value itself. In the case of an error in the main function, the process will exit with 1, otherwise 0. The main function can also return a value directly (return type u8 / !u8).
/tmp is 01777

Anything that requires login(8) or PAM to make it happen is insufficient. This has to happen in environments like Kubernetes too.
If you have good prior art, why would a patent holder litigate against you? They'd be almost guaranteed to lose their patent.
Yeah, my takeaway after having attempted to do so is that properly dating websites is a very hard problem. You can get Google-level-accuracy decent guesstimates relatively easily, but going beyond that is hard.
It's the Hibernate problem all over again. Any time one language is layered on another, the user is totally unaware of the degenerate cases that they are triggering, and the higher language is usually blocked from fixing those. Similar to C++ preprocessors which generated poor C.

It's not, it wouldn't make sense to have 100,000 tokens just for the first 100,000 numbers. There's a playground [1] where you can see how LLMs tokenize a string.

We all already do solve problems in our dreams. Even if you haven't awoken with a Eureka, surely you've occasionally found that something that was difficult to solve yesterday is obvious with a pair of fresh eyes.
Ok, but that's not relevant or responsive to TFA.
He was a market maker where there was very little liquidity. Given that, all valuations in this world are subjective at best. He just made more liquidity than most, so the process of spitballing valuations became more focused on one individual doing it. Him. He just sprinkled in a little sociopathy to make it more beneficial to him.
Reminds me of the rise in job application bots. People are applying to thousands of jobs using automated tools. It’s probably one of the inevitable use cases of this technology.

It makes me think. Perhaps the act of applying to jobs will go extinct. Maybe the endgame is that as soon as you join a website like Monster or LinkedIn, you immediately “apply” to every open position, and are simply ranked against every other candidate.

Looks Ruby-infused in terms of syntax. Or CoffeeScript.

But getting rid of the curly braces alone is enough to get me to adopt it over JS. I really hate writing JavaScript.

This is an extremely hard problem to solve. What degree of change makes it a different product? And that doesn't even touch the problem that products can look identical on the outside and use cheap crap on the inside. Amazon is not a bad actor here. They have every incentive to solve this problem. But they won't, not because they don't try, but because this is a problem as old as commerce.

That’s too much control for my taste. I don’t want anthropic to see my screen. I rather prefer a VS Code with integrated Claude. A version that can see all my dev files in a given folder. I don’t need it to run Chrome for me.
Best time to break Intel is after the investments into 18A process node are done. If the node is a success, you can spin off manufacturing business in condition that gives them change of competing with Samsung and TSMC.

If you break Intel now, the manufacturing spinoff will probably sell to some private equity that chooses to go the way of Global Foundries and settle for less competitive segments. They start making profit by cutting costs and specializing.
My guess is that the presence of lithium in the groundwater is in trace amounts if at all, while the dosing of lithium is in the domain of ~300mg. A casual search for the quantity of lithium in brine from a mine shows a max of 1400ppm for a rich mine in Chile[1] so drinking straight brine wouldn't get you anywhere near the therapeutic dose. Good question!

Maybe they're cranking out AI SaaS products to see what sticks. I was going to say low effort, but it's not zero effort and does offer some kind of service. I could have used some AI help for my kitchen design, I hated the process.
Not at all! Programs, and websites, are built for humans, and very very rarely offer non-GUI access. This is the only feasible way to make something useful now. I think it's also the reason why robots will look like humans, be the same proportions as humans, have roughly the same feet and hands as humans: everything in the world was designed for humans. That being the foundation is going to influence what's built on top.

For program access, one could claim this is even how linux tools usually do it: you parse some meant-for
human text to attempt to extract what you want. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find an argument that spits out something meant for machines. Funny enough, Microsoft is the only one that made any real headway for this seemingly impossible goal: powershell objects [1].

There's another potentially missed point. There is no education system, nor any amount of effort which could have granted me the genius of Ramanjuan. He had something I never will. It would be like dream to run faster than Usain Bolt.
Looking at the docs, Svelte is a mix of React and Vue, IMO.

They reverted from the `on` syntax while adding in signals like Vue's `ref`. The way the props pass down is more akin to React than Vue, but the overall reactivity system feels the same as Vue.

I'm not sure I'd pick it over either Vue or React.
They seems to be heavily concentrating on API/business use rather than the chat app, and this is where most of their revenue comes from (opposite for OpenAI), but I'm just glad they provide free Sonnet 3.5 chat. I wonder if this is being upgraded to 3.5 new ?

Edit: The web site and iPhone app are both now identifying themselves as "Claude Sonnet 3.5 (New)".
I suspect they are more constrained by cell thermals/cooling otherwise why take the obvious PR hit of providing much less range than promised.
This is my take too. At one of my old jobs, we were early (very early) to the Hadoop and then Spark games. Maybe too early, because by the time Spark 2 made it all easy, we had already written a lot of mapreduce-streaming and then some RDD-based code. Towards the end of my tenure there, I was experimenting with alternate datastores, and clickhouse was one I evaluated. It worked really, really well in my demos. But I couldn't get buy-in because management was a little wary of the russian side of it (which they have now distanced/divorced from, I think?) and also they didn't really have the appetite for such a large undertaking anymore. (The org was going through some things.) (So instead a different team blessed by the company owner basically DIYd a system to store .feather files on NVME SSDs... anyway).

If I were still there, I'd be pushing a lot harder to finally throw away the legacy system (which has lost so many people it's basically ossified, anyway) and just "rebase" it all onto clickhouse and pyspark sparksql. We would throw away so much shitty cruft, and a lot of the newer mapreduce and RDD code is pretty portable to the point that it could be plugged into RDD's pipe() method.

Anyway. My current job, we just stood up a new product that, from day 1, was ingesting billions of rows (event data) (~nothing for clickhouse, to be clear. but obviously way too much for pg). And it's just chugging along. Clickhouse is definitely in my toolbox right after postgres, as you state.
Nocturnal Wakefulness, Behavioral Dysregulation, and Psychopathology
The word is interfacing generally (or programming for some) but it's just not commonly used for general users. I’d say this is probably because the activity of focus for general users is in use of the applications, not the computer itself despite being instanced with a computer. Thus a computer is commonly less the user’s object of activity, and more commonly the setting for activity.

Similarly using our homes are an extremely common ‘activity’, yet the object-activities that get special words commonly used are the ones with specific user application.
Lol so now anyone who works in the office is “miserable”. You’re clutching at straws mate.
Having a high cardinality of permutations doesn't say anything one way or another about the probability of life arising. it's just hand waving.
If I understand this correctly GMP has a flexible mantissa with no limitations during runtime.

In fas you have to specify the sizes (of mantissa and exponent) during compile time. So the size of this type is fixed. Thus, there is no heap involved.
Is the claim there some special property that makes it impossible to convey hate as opposed any other type of idea through text?

That seems extremely wrong, especially in this context, given that LLMs make no attempt to formalize "ideas", they're only interested in syntax.
There's no reason to believe that because the physics are the same the biology will be the same. that's a big ungrounded assumption.
