Anyone see the documentary about him: "Crumb" (1994)? Everyone in his family is a little off, but back in those days, you just did the best you could with what you got and if you were a gifted artist like Crumb, you turned being an odd ball into a career.

Hey, thanks for asking. The LLM's do not hamper the native experience in anyway, as the UI/UX is controlled by the Flexpilot plugin and not the LLM. The interface is designed to be standard across all LLM's. The accuracy of the responses may vary according to LLM's but that is a different topic for evals.
The "why me" for others is the first time they realize they have a chronic illness, that sudden realization that the universe is an uncaring dance of atoms, the realization that every attempt at ordering it's just a house of cards, including our DNA and everything else we rely on. I was expecting myself to land that line of reasoning into some comforting words but I have failed miserably ha, hold on tight.
Thanks, I need to look into those whenever I can find the time, however it also sounds like they are trying to fit General Relativity in there ?

I can't say for sure if this is doomed in the first place because GR infamously is not compatible with quantum mechanics (and trying to match them by force is only going to produce confusion and nonsense), or potentially revolutionary in actually managing to reconcile them...
You could just not listen to fortnite streamers at all, problem solved. No need for absurd technical measures that are not going to fix anything in the end anyway.

Touchscreens on phones are even the best option, if only that there just isn't another viable option.
You could even say the purpose of smartphones is "what kind of computing experience can we create with a touchscreen?"

This is an important difference over cars, where you don't buy the car for the joy of its computing behavior. You buy the car for transportation and any computing distraction from this could prevent the sale entirely.
This by the way is an excellent argument against home office for professions where innovation plays an important role.

I don’t think we’ll ever see a Wikipedia quote saying “the only thing productive employees had in common is that they were hanging out in a Microsuck Teams chat room”.
The tradeoff is centralization. Basically you now have the worst parts of tokens and money combined together with none of the benefits. Using Lightning is like using an unregulated and uninsured private bank. BTC at least have some semblance of decentralization, unlike Lightning IOUs.

Another issue is that it takes millenias to even onboard every adult to the L2, because every such transaction needs to be done on L1. So ti will take between 15 to 20 years just to onboard everyone on L2 without even doing any other transaction. Same 15 to 20 years to move back to L1 if needed.

Next issue is idiotic architecture of Lighting. It requires people to open a bidirectional tunnel from their L2 wallet to every single peer they will transact with and and lock inside the channel the amount of tokens in excess of all transactions with this peer. You want to buy a coffee - go open a tunnel with a cafe and lock 5$ in it until transaction is completed. You want to buy 50$/m subscription? Open 600/1200/1800$ tunnel to the provider in advance, or open a tunnel for every transaction. And every tunnel creation and every destruction is an L1 transaction, which is limited to 5-6 tps for the whole world.

Then L2 need to solve NP=hard problem for every transaction, and the difficulty will scale exponentially with the number channels.

All this, plus atrocious technical implementation, where a lot of transactions just fail due to bugs and instability leads to the worst monetary system I have ever heard about.
Profit is an easy answer but sometimes easy is correct. Companies are prone to view consumer opinion negatively if they know they don't have a choice. Look at Apple, for example--the removal of the headphone jack, the constant reduction in ports, etc.
I think it was this: https://www.reddit.com/r/iiiiiiitttttttttttt/comments/tam0yi...
I don't share that view.

To me the article reads that simplistic metrics do no accurately assess performance of employees.

Managers need to work out what their reports are working on, and base an opinion on performance using more than just "number of tasks closed" etc.

by creating these simplistic metrics, it means that the management chain has a false sense of what make the company tick. That confidence is the rot, not the poor performers. Simply because they do not actually know who the poor performers are.
Qualitative and quantitative approaches together inform us best. Probably not the most eye opening of statements.

But I think as you indicate, qualitative generally paints the picture, and quantitative validates it.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, there are three reasons for the bump in sales:
1) People can't afford the treats they otherwise would be buying, so they're getting the cheaper option of a $2 one liter.
2) People are drinking less alcohol (because of the price?) and moving to drinks made of soda + some other ingredients (pickle juice and Tabasco, for example).
3) Social media influencers are pushing soda as a "mindfulness" break or a low-vice reward.

I drank a ton of soda when I was a teenager. I got a job at 15, and realized that we lived close enough to a grocery store that I could easily walk there, so I would buy several two liters of soda, a few bags of chips, and then I would stay up until 3 AM playing Age of Empires 2 or Red Alert 2.

I put on 60 pounds doing that over three years and I've never been able to shed it.

I cut out soda for my twenties, but I have started drinking ginger ales again because I used to have a cup of coffee at 3 PM to help with the afternoon slump, but I wasn't sleeping well. It's not a hard choice, even knowing how bad this pure sugar water is for you. Stressed, overworked, exhausted, your body craves quickly available energy. People need a vice.

But I still hate that I'm drinking them, and I still blame soda companies for the weight gain.
Even if any of it is not legal, as long as you transmit only on common free for all frequencies such as Wifi, it would be very difficult to catch you. You can always plead innocence by saying you were building the next gen wifi point to point link in your garage.
Coming from Python, as an amateur dev, error handling in Go was annoying as hell. But I had no other choice so I went for it.

Afer a few programs I realized I never really thought about error handling - Go forces you to decide where you want to handle your error, where to inform about it etc.

It is still annoying (especially the boilerplate) but it had a net positive value for me in terms of learning.
For sure food, water and etc are going to be the hardest to acquire. I live in Valencia which just had some massive flooding. The city of Valencia itself survived unscathed since they rerouted the river here in 1954, but the outskirts are completely devastated. The grocery stores in the city have more or less been empty across the entire city for the last week. Supplies are still getting in, but the slight increase in demand (all the people in the affected areas need to come into the city for groceries) along with panic buying make me realize in a true SHTF situation that we'd be completely screwed.

their complaints are valid, and should be addressed. who is pushing the needle with battleroyale? we just accept technical debt as a permanent state of affairs? i think not.
You can give your team members more responsibility. Tech leads, buddies, owners of initiatibmves etc. are things. The juniors shouldn't be sucking too much at just your teet.
Tangents:

* Sony's naming scheme sucks. I will never remember the product names and the name difference between the headphones and earbuds

* the WM earbuds also have a bonus feature where there really isnt any way to turn them off other than to put them in the case, so they go through battery-destroying 80-100% charge cycles and last like 1-2 years before the batteries are at half capacity.

> Previously, I have been outspoken against verification systems.

I believe this to be a lie. I think he wants to sell some kind of shitty product to be honest.

> Instead of relying exclusively on government-controlled verification processes, an alternative is for social media companies to partner with a vendor or create their own verification systems.

Yeah, he probably wants just that.

> There certainly are many circumstances where anonymity must be protected, as for whistleblowers, journalistic sources, political dissidents and others speaking truth to power. But when it comes to social networking, anonymity creates far more problems than it solves.

I switched to systemd when Arch switched and from the get go, it was massively easier to parallelise with systemd than with the old system and that was with an HDD.

Systemd already parallelises by default so I don't know what insanely strange things you were doing but I fail to see how it could bring boot time form 11s to 1 minute. Also, it's very easy to get a list of every services enabled with systemctl (systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled) so I don't really know what your point about a giant graph is.
The most interesting thing during COVID was seeing the switch from in-office to remote, followed by a round of redundancies, and the redundancies were fascinating. It was full of people that when in-office seemed gave the impression of hard-working, largely by a combination of 'face time', and just talking to other employees, and not necessarily about work.

>> [Why not build programmer performance measurement tooling?]

I'm pretty sure there wasn't any employee monitoring software other than completion of Jira tickets within individual teams.

The whole sneaky monitoring/measurement software is totally counter-productive, and counter-intuitive. If I'm in an office, no one is going to care if I read the docs or an ebook, possibly on my tablet, but if I'm remote and not jiggling my mouse every few seconds I'm slacking off.

Ask HN: What remote side hustles suit a project manager with programming skills?
I'm a project manager with a strong background in programming and development, looking for part-time, remote opportunities to earn extra income. Ideally, I'd like options that use my technical and management skills. If anyone has done something similar or has suggestions on where to start, I'd love some direction!
Weird, unlike everyone else on this thread I just don't see this as a problem to be solved. My wife and I talk to each other (I know, crazy, right?) and one of us suggests something to eat and then we decide. No subscription required.

Any codebase that is worked on by a lot of people tends to become over-complicated unless there is very good technical leadership (and even then).

When you are solo-dev in a project and run into some underlying problem[1] of your codebase you fix the problem. When you have a team the less-powerful[2] tend to work around it because fixing the underlying problem is not just a technical problem, but an organizational problem[3].

The same applies as a codebase gets older and bigger. The best I can explain is through a formula:

real cost fixing underlying problem = size of team * size of codebase affected by problem * nominal cost of fixing problem

Which makes this (in math terms) cubic (^3) while people scale linearly (*n).

Which is why when people compare technologies it is very important to also think about the "Pit of Success":

https://blog.codinghorror.com/falling-into-the-pit-of-succes...

React and Svelte are very similar, but React it so much more powerful[4] people often misuses those powers causing them to become foot-gun.

[1]: Abstractions, APIs, code patterns, libraries used, etc

[2]: People new to the project, people less experienced, people who don't hold the big title (staff engineer, etc)

[3]: It requires talking and explaining things to other people, often very busy people. The bigger the company the more teams need to be kept in sync when big things change, there might also be some inter-department drama or arbitrary deadlines from different teams and so on.

[4]: A lot of the power of React is derived from ecosystem libraries. Where stuff you can do is technically possible with React alternatives, but not very practical.

Of course there is. Cures make billions.

This might be a conspiracy theory stupider than flat Eartherism. It requires not only every Western pharmaceutical company’s collaboration, but also every one in every other country, and also all the public labs, and every world leader and their families to suck it up for the conspiracy’s sake.

It's supertempting to remember my path:

1. Basic on ZX Spectrum around 5-6 years old. Draw circle and a box and a triangle and... Look ma, a rocket!

2. Pascal around 10-12. I can write a loop! and a function. But anything longer than 100 lines doesn't work for some reason. C is also cool but what are pointers?

3. PHP around 14-15. The Internet is easy!

4. Perl around the same time. I can add 5 to "six" and get "5six". Crazy stuff.

5. C around 16-17. Real stuff for real programmers. Still didn't understand pointers. Why can't it be more like Pascal?!

6. C++ around 18-19. I can do ANYTHING. Especially UIs in Qt. UI is easy! Now, let's make a Wolf3d clone...

7. Common Lisp + Emacs Lisp around 20. No compilation?! REPLs? What are atoms? Cons cells? Live redefinition of everything? A macro? A program image?

8. Python around 22. Ok, so languages can be readable.

9, 10, 11, ... StandardML for beautiful types and compiler writing, vanilla C and x86 assembly/architecture the deep way, back to Lisps for quick personal development...

Looking back, it's Lisps and vanilla C that sticked.

I have read "Mastering the Market Cycle" by Howard Marks, once, and liked it in general. The topic is the market cycle itself with focus on investing. It is not about specific companies or technologies, though.
“There is no justice in the laws of nature, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The Universe is neither evil, nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don't care, or the Sun, or the sky.

But they don't have to! WE care! There IS light in the world, and it is US!”

Apple's an exception in some ways. They absolutely will do things out of spite. They hate admitting they're wrong and take as long as possible to fix UX flaws as a result.
And sometimes the bad UX is a result of some misguided mission. Instead of cost cutting, it's just as plausible to me apple removed things because they have a fetish for minimalism and miniaturization.

Typically in IoT you'll count RAM in kB not MB and definitely not GB. See STM32 H5/H7/L4/L4+/U0 as an example.
My TP-Link MR3020 from around 2015 only has 4^H 16 MB of ram (4 MB flash) and thus cannot even run OpenWRT anymore.
Mine doesn't (i30 2020 EU model).
But the question here is not looking for a generator, because it would be okay if some group elements are only reached during the application of the sequence. (For the sequence to be a generator, all group elements need to be reached at the end of some full application of the sequence.)

The Hamiltonian cycle sequence from the original post is not a generator, but it visits every state. The question is: Is there a significantly shorter sequence that (when repeated) does the same?
Not entirely convinced. The tradeoff is in-office you need to sit next to someone. Remote you can talk to anyone in the world. But it is the role of good WFH culture to avoid siloing of people.
Firstly im so sorry to hear this. I can completely empathise as i lost my father who was my best friend to Pancreatic Cancer. Like you, one day we were fine and joking, the next day my world collapsed with the news. Uncontrollable sadness, then anger, then desperation and the why me / why my dad. I just wanted to write to you to say that you are not alone. You dont know me, i dont know you, but i wish you and your partner well and send thoughts and love. It is a surreal thing to happen. I remember looking at other people living their regular lives smiling and laughing and thinking, how can they be happy. An unbelievable amount of varied emotions. Seeing really unhealthy people, or bad people on the news, and i know this sounds bad, but wondering, why us, why not them. Just mind spinning type stuff, a plethora of every conceivable emotion. I hope you have loved ones you can vent and talk to. Again, you’re not alone.
The intro about him not liking the music reminded me of the Letter of Note entry when Crumb is sent an experimental jazz album and replies to the musician:

> I gotta tell you, on the cover of the CD of your sax playing, which is black and has no text on it, I wrote in large block letters, in silver ink, “Torturing The saxophone—Mats Gustafsson.” I just totally fail to find anything enjoyable about this, or to see what this has to do with music as I understand it, or what in God´s name is going on in your head that you want to make such noises on a musical instrument. Quite frankly, I was kind of shocked at what a negative, unpleasant experience it was, listening to it.

UI development is hard in general, you just hear more devs complaining about web because it is the first UI platform they try.

Android, iOS, QT, JWT, SWT it is all hell. If anything most modern web environments are way better than most others that came before it.

If a platform is "simpler" than the web it also usually means it is much less powerful.
Golang needs monads. If by default it had a monad that propagated errors up the stack, then it would be much cleaner to work with, and should you need another behaviour you could install a different monad.
