I agree with you. As my first boss taught me, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

But after 6 years living here, I find the image of the Japanese as perfectionists to be a myth. Sure, the old sushi master that has dedicated his life to the craft might a perfectionist; most other people are not. Take a look a the average Japanese city with its ugly buildings, chaotic street layout, and insane cabling. Or the average office or shop, with a mess of boxes and piles of documents everywhere. Or the countryside (where I live) and the abysmal state of most roads and infrastructure. Those are not the signs of a perfectionist society.
>> After seeing what a mess it makes to allow patents on software, I feel skeptical that patents on things are a good idea, either.

> I was just thinking the same thing. I used to just sort of accept that patents were a reasonable and necessary thing. Then after being in the actual business of software for a while as a startup entrepreneur and seeing the complete mess spurious patent claims cause, how patents are so often deployed by mega-corps to defend against startups, and the huge number of grifters the patent "industry" attracts, it's made me more open to the idea that just maybe the whole idea of patents is now more trouble than it's worth.

IMHO, that's taking it too far. IP is a solution that solved certain problems; but it's been so effective that those original problems are so alien that people overreact to the imperfections of the solution in extreme ways (like, "let's abolish it all").
Ask HN: Ditching My Laptop for a Desktop
Hey folks,

I'm facing a decision on upgrading my dev machine and considering a switch from laptop to desktop. The price difference is significant - looking at $2k+ for a well-spec'd laptop versus around $1k for a comparable desktop.

My thinking:
Most of my work is done at a fixed location anyway
Git/version control means I can still use my existing laptop as backup for mobile work
Getting twice the performance per dollar seems compelling

For those who've made this switch:
How has it worked out?
Any unexpected issues or benefits?
Did the cost savings justify any trade-offs?
Much better to be inside of a protective steel cage if there's a chance of getting hit by a 5000 lb vehicle.

I think this is called “meeting users where they are”.
Ummm... driving out of my metro area, in any direction, on a work day: zero traffic! Doing so at the start of a long weekend / during Xmas - New Year: horrendous traffic! Is that not the case for you?
Is no generics with AOT the only catch?
My employer sets aside a few extra holidays to bridge holidays to the weekend. For example this year July 4th was on Thursday so they gave the Friday off too. They also give Winter holidays from 24th to the 1st so its aligned right, a few more vacation days and it adds up to two weeks. And usually the day before long holidays teams tend to work half day so sometimes you don't even need to take a day off.

So long as they talk about the number of “qubits” their machines have without prominently clarifying that they're using a heterodox definition of “qubit” and “quantum computer”, I will continue to maintain that nothing has changed.
Docker Compose is … not for that use case. Docker Swarm is for hosting, but really only for trivial cases.

Anything more complex deserves a full container orchestration platform.
It is a daunting task. I've been at it for years.

I have a EPSON flatbed scanner and use Apple's Image Capture to scan them in.

Smaller photos (3 x 5 or smaller) I scan at 600 DPI, larger (5 x 7 or larger) maybe 450 DPI or so. I'm trying to capture enough detail that I could reprint them, perhaps even larger than the original, and not have reached the pixel level.

I pull the scans into Apple's Photos and immediately tag them all with "Family Photos" keyword or similar to make finding them easier later.

Then it's adding keywords for who is in the photo (if I know). If anything was written on the front or back I type those in the Description. If I know the date I change the date of the photo. If I don't know the date at all I also keyword the photo "Wrong Date".

If I know the year I set the date to "1/1/YEAR". If I know the month and year (some Polaroids would print this on the border of the photo) I set the date to "MONTH/1/YEAR".

Sometimes the photo was labeled as someone's birthday or on Christmas so I can get the day as well.

Finally, I also edit the photos — adjust levels, remove scratches, etc. Again in Photos. I tend to only spend significant time on the important photos, or ones I like.

But as you said, daunting. Nonetheless, I can export the photos and send them around to family, post to Ancestry.com, etc. And all the metadata is retained on export.

I have retouched many photos such that I was able to print them and have a photo that was better than the surviving print (possibly even a touch better than the print when it was new).

It has been worth it for me. I have observed the changes in consumer camera quality, figured out who people are who were strangers to me before (I can recognize many now when I come across a photo I had not before seen).

A family photo I restored, my great grandmother is top-right (probably end of the 19th Century):

> interesting how major airlines competing with them has made things worse for everyone

It's been great for the poor and middle class. Tickets are cheap, before taxes and regulatory charges. Go to Europe and you see what competition can truly bring: <$50 tickets.
Apparently some regions have crisis intervention teams (e.g. Los Angeles through 988) that can be "hands on" / use limited physical coersion without involving police or going full 5150. Even if they do help in the moment though, what happens after they leave? I agree there's not nearly enough options for support on the 3~12 day timecale.
Agreed because it's the same ballpit Ramaswamy was thrown into.
How do you handle the different keyboard layouts (cmd and ctrl on Mac, ctrl and superkey on Linux)?

I'm using a Mac at work and Linux at home with a programmable keyboard but I didn't find a solution to "merge" cmd and ctrl on Mac, so I still need to use both on Mac (not a big drama, but slightly annoying).
They’re the same. They publicly announce both on earnings calls and both increase demand for a stock.
So the problem is 1) port mapping and 2) backing up data volumes?

There are simple solutions to each

1) you simple have a separate docker-compose file for a different environment, ie docker-compose.dev.yml for your dev server. in this file you simply define the parts that differ from the primary / prod compose file. that way it's a simple command. line variable that initiates a dev vs prod vs any other type. for details see https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/multiple-compose-fil...

2) this is literally as simple as running a small bash script that creates a backup, tars and gzips the file and then uploads it to an S3 repository. Sure, maybe not out of the box, but generally pretty simple. Likewise i'd always have a script that does the inverse (downloads the latest backup, loads it into the db and restores the files).

Not exactly rocket science...
Sharing read-only/executable memory and compressed memory are also done on Windows 10+ and modern Linux distributions. No idea what "better memory allocation" and "less fragmentation" are.

800GB/s is a theoretical maximum but you wouldn't be able to use all of it from the CPU or even the GPU.

The implied status comes from not subjecting oneself to the kind of people that have to fly Spirit. You're paying for dignity and not having to deal with screaming fighting people that will end up on viral videos.

Europeans with adult stable jobs fly Ryanair and Easyjet because this is the best that they can afford on European salaries.
Chicago. The risk spectrum is a lot broader than "will I be murdered on the train?". You can also have a deranged person come right up and spit in your face (happened to me). Not worth it.
Yeah that was my reaction as well. The post goes on to insist that, despite this intuition, it still generates good feedback, but … for the same reasons you give, I have to doubt that self report too.

All the other points seem solid, though.
I manage production with docker compose just fine. This article is not great.
That's arguably true, but only insofar as it makes sense to talk about a mutex "owning" "data". There are many kinds of data that can't be owned by the language runtime like this (think about async/shared/DMA buffers, register blocks on foreign hardware, memory-mapped database files), but that still clearly need synchronization. Even things like coarse-grained locks taken at the subsystem level (e.g. to avoid having a separate atomic in every little object) are a bad fit for this kind of API.

There's value to being opinionated about API design, but there's also cost. And Rust is supposed to be playing in the same sandbox as the lower level tools.
Exactly. In America today people have very little vacation time, a lot of money, and a taste for luxury. With the recent increases in salaries and fuel costs, the delta between the LCCs and the legacy carriers has dropped. You're a consumer in America taking your single yearly vacation. Are you going to save $40 on your several-thousand-dollar trip to fly Spirit? Apparently not. Meanwhile in Europe you're flying shorter distances more frequently, you don't care as much about Easyjet vs Lufthansa, and 40 euros is a lot more money.
Physical NAND pages aren't really relevant. At least some high end SSDs I know of would gang multiple NAND chips together anyway and effectively the page size would be X*physical (where X might be 8 or 16). It could still do 512 byte writes well if it was configured that way.

The limiting factor is the size of the forward map structures. To a lesser degree also things like garbage collection overheads and reverse map structures (particularly if you support deduplication or snapshots). But forward map is the main thing.

Or it is one of the reasons why Microsoft is pushing hard to require cloud account for everything, including local Windows.
This article is total bullshit.

The author uses "AI" as a shortcut for "technology that I don't understand." EPIC is an EMR, and apparently scores patients using an "algorithm." Let's call that "AI" because AI is hot.

Scribe sounds like a transcriber. Oh boy. I know of offices that have a literal scribe, a person who's job it is to follow a doc around and transcribe to Epic. Automated? Why not.

Having just been in the ICU with a family member for 60 days, I can say that nurses are good at some things and horrible at other things. And big picture thinking isn't something most nurses seem to be good at. Listening to nurses talk about what's wrong in healthcare is like talking to soldiers about what's wrong in the military.

I truly believe that. Their close to the chest self-taught masters of programming did not scale well. They competed even within companies this way - every coder having to produce their own libraries. If they embraced open source earlier and in a big way they could have catapulted themselves to success but they also have a Not Invented Here attitude...

The fact that I could code better than them (performance wise) was regarded as a marvel.

For international flights, US airlines are better than the horrible domestic flights, but it's still really pathetic when you compare any US airline to any Asian airline. Even the staff on Asian airlines are far better; American staff generally have attitude problems.
It’s the first time I’ve seen the number of employees as a concern, the focus is actually the size of the budget and its deficit.
After reading it I don't get what the author is trying to tell me. Docker compose works just fine for what it's made. I can have multiple different docker containers (deployed with compose) all with the same port and just use Traefik to route the requests, without having to change the default ports or even use ipv6.
What am I missing?
I stopped using a laptop long ago. A Mac mini is cheap, fast, and I have a big monitor. An iMac display went dark, and the whole thing needs repair. Same deal for laptops. Modular is great. Not to mention all the ports, and the fact that hubs and external drives hide behind the monitor, not needing to be taped to the laptop lid.

It occurs to me that competing with Google on their home turf and at their scale might be impossible. But doing what Google was good at, when they just a search engine, might not be all that much harder today than it was back then. And it may fly "under the radar" of Google's current business priorities.
Yup, I was surprised how weak the arguments were. I mean, surely there are better reasons why docker compose fails to scale? I have been pretty happy with it right now, and haven't felt the need to try something like k8s or docker swarm.

It seems inefficient to have two people in charge of an agency. Wouldn't it be more efficient to not even create a new agency and just have Trump make these determinations? Otherwise you're creating more bureaucracy to eliminate other bureaucracy which is... inefficient.
I can recommend reading about Chaebol in this context. [1]

Basically conglomerates grew so big through foreign investments that they control large parts of the legislative and executive body. The families regularly get threatened by some aspiring/greedy politicians, then they threaten to fire a lot of people, and then they get spoken free.

I'd argue that this was the inspiration for the Mr.Robot series (apart from enron group), as it's portraying a similar disfunct democracy that's effectively owned by oligarchs or is effectively an oligopol.

Very well done, bookmarking for when I need this in the future.
Yeah it's a pain to dig into / debate the details (if you can), but they matter.

Arguably I collect some "telemetry" with some products I work on. It's some very basic "anyone even really use this feature" stats that I would find difficult to narrow down to a user / and some "woah did this crash" type information.

But that's nothing like some software...
Glad it's useful! There's a few WWI movies in the spreadsheet but I agree they're much more difficult to find. ChatGPT is actually really good for this though, you can say "Generate a table of 100 WWI movies from diverse points of view" and have a good place to start.

So, so true. Early on in my career I was so nervous giving feedback that I talked for an hour after providing the feedback. Absolutely terrible. I remember that conversation every time I'm giving feedback now.
I'm not sure your teacher is right. The notation should be Em7b11.

Ultimately, I think it would depend on whether Hendrix included F or F# in the scales that he used to solo over The Hendrix Chord. If he includes F, E7#9 would be the better notation, since it suggests an altered mode: I, IIdim, IIImi, IVdim(and probably Vdim). (E, F, G, Ab, Bb, C D) . If he includes F#, then you could make a case for E7b10, which I would read as implying a blues scale, although I've never ever seen that notation: I, II, IIImi, IIImaj, IV, V (E, F#, G, G# A B C D). My bet is that Hendrix plays F, not F#, given that he was a jazz musician before he was a rock musician.

The argument for Em7b11 would be that the major third is actually the FOURTH note of an altered scale. . Better still: Em7b9b11. Or I suppose you could be uncontroversial and just write Ealt.

Chords derived from altered scales, and chords based on quartal stacks are both severely broken cases in modern chord notation. Neither seems to have settled chord notations, and the chord notations that do exists vary greatly by dialect.

(Jazz guitarist who very much prefers modern functional chord notation, that implies both scale and chord, to the older Broadway jazz notation style).

I like the 988 advice. I'd take it a bit further... consider getting professional help (counselor, therapist, etc.) for yourself as well, at least temporarily.

I see at least two angles where this can be beneficial...

One is getting guidance on how to keep yourself as mentally healthy as possible while going through something so difficult. This is at the heart of the ideas I'm responding to above... you have to stay afloat to have any chance of helping. If you've ever been on a commercial flight, you've heard "Put on your oxygen mask before helping others with their masks." The right professional can be a big help.

Another is that a professional will be able to give you guidance about what you might be able to help your friend with, and things you probably shouldn't try to help with. Professionals have seen a much broader spectrum of situations and have a better idea of where they themselves might be able to help (or not) and where a layperson may be able to help (or not). And they can give you ideas for things to try that might help your friend while exposing you to less risk of harm.

You're taking a smart step by asking for advice. In my experience, a professional often has the best advice.

>"Most iconic" in the Western world is just because, like I argued, the Eastern Front is way less known and depicted in movies. It's almost the definition of "lesser known", of which there are many reasons (Cold War thinking being a big reason initially). Overlord is more iconic in the West because it has been brought to the forefront in multiple accounts, movies and games.

I don't think it is just Eastern Front, the Chinese Theatre and War in Pacific get far less attention as well. I'm Australian and we learn a little bit about it in history class at school but there are no movies or books about relatively momentous things like Fall of Singapore etc.
