”Win32s lacked a number of Windows NT functions, including multi-threading, asynchronous I/O, newer serial port functions and many GDI extensions.

You likely again have never seen a true high performer and are confusing them for high output.

High performers will be good enough to fundamentally question leadership decisions at an exec level and will have good reasons to. They will not just he fast at their work. They will be so good at it that it makes you almost unnecessary in the equation.

High output just does the work you assign them well.
Yeah all of the complex chemical reactions our bodies do are handled by structures which self-repair when damaged. Our technology level isn't that advanced yet. Any in body system would almost certainly need to be replaced more often than a battery + inductive charger combo would.

That said, it would be awesome if we could and this research are small stepping stones on that path.

2 degrees C is not a good outcome for the world, it’s just a moderately aggressive target that we might be able to hit. The world will still be changed significantly if we do manage to hit the 2C target (which isn’t a given). Working to reduce our output more before then would certainly be better.

Have you tried adjusting the Mouse settings? You can certainly enable right-click.

The multitouch gestures + inertial scrolling is actually quite magical compared to a dumb fixed-offset scrollwheel, but the mouse itself is not the most ergonomic.

You'll want to confirm before you donate -- it depends on what hospital/organization you're donating through. In my case, I'm prioritized for being a donor and five of my family members are also prioritized. If a one of those family members receives a kidney out of need then I am still prioritized (effectively giving me/my family two kidneys for the price of one). Note that you can designate five family members to be prioritized, but only the first one in need will be prioritized.

This stays in effect as long as the NKR exists -- there's no expiry.
Show HN: Open-source emoji search engine and emoji picker component
Hi HN, I recently created and published an open-source emoji search engine library with the goal to help people easily find the emoji matches for their search input. The idea came to me when I was using the native emoji app and often ran into issues where searching for common day to day words, such as goal, problem and solution, return no emojis.

I took a deeper dive into the issue and found that the cause is due to that the emoji keyword database is constructed by going through each emoji and adding associated keywords, which works great for directly related keywords but misses indirectly related keywords and day to day words. This is solved by also doing the opposite, which goes through each word and adds associated emojis, such as going through the top 1000 words in wordfrequency.info/samples.asp. I discuss more of this process as well as building an Algolia-inspired ranking algorithm that optimizes for search-as-you-type experience in this article: https://www.emoogle.org/blog/building-the-best-emoji-search-..., that might be an interesting read to see the steps and logics.

Top highlights of the emoji search engine are:
1. Largest emoji keywords database with 5,400+ unique keywords for 1,872 emojis
2. Advanced ranking algorithm with 10+ rules to sort most relevant results first
3. Blazingly fast search-as-you-type experience that takes ~10ms or less
4. Customizable options to personalize search experience

I hope other emoji fans might find this library useful and I look forward to hearing any feedback the community has. Thanks all.

Emoji search engine Github repo: https://github.com/xitanggg/emoogle-emoji-search-engine

Emoji picker component Github repo: https://github.com/xitanggg/emoogle-emoji-picker (This is the emoji picker UI component that integrates with the search engine. Its main advantages over the native emoji picker is much faster speed and supports search autocomplete and preview)

Demo link: https://www.emoogle.org/emoji-search

(Disclaimer: Both emoji search engine and emoji picker component are used in the Emoogle emoji desktop app that I developed. The desktop app is closed-source and is paid after 14 days of free trial, but I hope open-sourcing the core search engine and component are helpful for anyone else looking to provide a better emoji experience in their apps or services)

Panaceas do not exist. Also, some people are pretty terrible everywhere and in all religions such as that Chögyam Trungpa in his community.

Oh I know, but let's say you didn't want to do anything about climate change and you knew that the kind of people who do:

* Value moral superiority and "being right" over results.

* Broadly think that people who categorically disagree with them are stupid and just need to be educated about the truth.

* Believe that the mere existence of climate change implies that we have to
do everything they say to combat it.

* As a group are largely incapable of knowing when they're being put on and baited.

So say hypothetically
you "deny climate change." But of course you don't outright deny it, you say that there's no evidence. The discussion shifts away from what the proper response to climate change is to whether it even exists. In public discussions you can dismiss any argument with "well it doesn't even exist." They will then proceed to spinlock boiling the oceans with the energy expenditure trying to prove it exists— "surely this next piece of evidence will be undeniable and I'll have them cornered!"

But that couldn't possibly work, right?
> the multitouch gestures are dope though

Agreed – in the sense that you'll need strong analgesics when consistently using them.
Interesting; I was under the impression that the British just found new sources of cotton. From the American perspective this story is mostly told as a losing bet from the Confederate side—the South believed that Britain was so dependent on Southern cotton that they would intervene on their side of the war. Given the intensity of British public opinion against slavery this seems like a bad bet, but if the Confederates had better judgment they probably wouldn’t have started the war in the first place.
No, you were making a literal statement about the constitution in a way that wasn't logically valid.

It's a common tactic to make an egregious error and the dial it back until with hedges and constraints until the other person concedes. It's embarrassing.

There are plenty of valid ways to make your point. Choose one of those instead.

I don't think a language where for every 1 line of functionality, you need 3 lines of error handling boilerplate gets to be called readable.

Heck, Go went out of it's way to "subvert expectations" more than the last season of Game of Thrones.

99% of decent C-ish languages either do "String thing" or "thing: String", but Go is so fancy and quirky, it does "thing String" for no freaking reason. Don't get me started on the nightmare that is map types.
Nobody has an obligation to even do that outside of a contractual relationship, though it would be polite.

"Meditation can even exacerbate depression, anxiety, and other negative emotions in certain people."

If the author had put enough serious time in meditation, he would notice that meditation doesn't exacerbate negative emotions, it just makes you aware of the negative emotions that were already there and that you were ignoring by social media, alcohol, drugs, tiktok, etc. Meditation makes you aware of where the problem is and why the negative emotions come up. Think of it like a very good debugger. It's no substitution for solving the problem. It gives you the tools to solve the problem. Imagine your boss gave you a buggy code but seemingly it seems to compile and work but he keeps saying the code has errors, it's not supposed to work that way. You will go nuts if you don't know where the problem is. You don't even need the solution, just knowing the problem is enough to save you a lot of trouble. Meditation on the initial stages works that way. Later, you'll figure out as you go. Buddha said just do it, don't analyze l, just do it. The author here didn't have the patience to just do it and see it for himself, instead he focussed on the philosophy too much.

Meditating on a cushion for hours everyday is no substitution for being kind to strangers. Meditation brings you clarity even if the clarity is something you don't like. Hell, even Buddha was enlightened when he actually left meditation and gave up meditation altogether (which the author seems to have completely miss it here). Buddhism may not be perfect(what's perfect anyway?) but as George Box put it "All models are wrong, some are useful" Buddhism tries the best to be the most right and the useful model of the world.
Scrolling up and down works ok, but anything else feels like a fast track to RSI to me, especially any sideways scrolling movements.
I too have a logitech MX master 3S mouse and it's fantastic across Windows, Linux and Mac.

The only downside of it, is that it needs a larger battery for the price. I think you can hack it and put a larger one in there if you like, but still, the thing costs $99 which is kind of a lot for a mouse.

> Yes, (meditation) can reduce stress, but,
as it turns out, no more so than simply sitting still does

That's no surprise. If your type of meditation is just sitting still, that's fine. You don't need a guru voiceover to get the benefits

Is this a surprise? It's not magic. You're essentially giving your brain and mind the space and time it needs. That doesn't make it any less helpful with regards to stress, anxiety, focus etc

If we start realising all it is is sitting still (as in no music, podcast, iPad), maybe meditation can become more popular and we can get our attention spans back.
Bryan Lunduke has an article about this myth, actually!

https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4037306/myth-windows-3-1-was...

It’s backed up by another Old New Thing article at https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100517-00/?p=14...

The TL;DR is that Windows 3.1 effectively replaced DOS and acted as a hypervisor for it, while drivers could be written for Windows (and many were) or DOS (and presumably many more of those were actually distributed). The latter category was run in hypervised DOS and the results bridged to Windows callers.

(Edited after submission for accuracy and to add the Old New Thing link.)
With your analogy I would be the one saying that I'm still not convinced that skis are faster than snowshoes.

I still use ChatGPT/Claude/Llama daily for both code generation and other things. And while it sometimes does do exactly what I want it to, and I feel more productive, it still seems to waste my time an almost an equal amount of time, and I have to give up on it and rewrite it manually or do a google search/read the actual documentation. It's good to bounce things off, it's good as starting point to learn new stuff, gives you great direction to explore new things and test things out quickly. My guess on a "happy path" it gives me 1.3 speed up, which is great when that happens, but the caveat is that you are not on a "happy path" most the time, and if you listen to the evangelists it seems like it should be 2x-5x speed up (skis). So where's the disconnect?

I'm not here to disprove your experience, but with 2 years of almost daily usage of skis, how come I feel like I'm still barely breaking even compared with snowshoes? Am I that bad with my prompting skills?
Honestly, all you lot complaining about the speed of 286s or 386s!

I have fond memories of implementing a Mandelbrot set renderer on a CASIO fx-7000G graphics calculator. 422 bytes of programmable memory! The TI-93 I did it on later was considerably faster and easier to make it fit in. :-)

Even with subsidies taken into account, the ROI is still higher with stocks and the risks a lot higher with properties. 401k is also subsidized. See studies.

I understand that there may be arguments individually for the decision and emotional safety is one, but it should be based on fact, not myth and misunderstanding.

>Or just that he prefers the one he is using instead for whatever reason.

Well, that means he finds the Apple one worse "for whatever reason".

He doesn't need to find it objectively bad (though one could, as well) for this to be a concern.

It's enough of an issue that he doesn't have enough fondness, faith, and pride in it to use it, or enough resolve to get his company to improve it.

When I look at the ranking on p. 4, English does not appear to be very relevant. Switzerland is #31, but Greece #8. Romania is #12 just two places behind Germany #10. Italy is #46, France #49. India #69, China #91, Japan #92, Thailand #106.

The diagrams on p. 13 all have correlation coefficients (r values) between 0.56 and 0.61, which signify only moderate associations. And the causality from language to success behind such associations is very likely even weaker. In other words, people from many countries are good at English because their country is economically advanced (and not the other way round).

I think that on an individual level, it is very desirable to be able to at least read English very well because it opens up so many resources on the Internet. However, when it comes to economic impact, the ranking seems to suggest an extremely tenuous link at best. In addition, foreign language skills are likely to become even less relevant in the future as translation software improves.
Another vote for Outline - it works really well, has „multiplayer“ support (although that is only a nicety in my book), is constantly improved.

It’s not that simple. Tribalism is easy and most considered a net negative. Tribalism is easy to sell because it’s ingrained in humans. That’s what 4chan does, pick the lowest hanging fruit.
I think that it’s our tooling sucks, not us. Cause we only have functions and duplicated code, but there’s no named-common-block idea, which one could insert, edit and

1) see how it differs from the original immediately next time

2) other devs would see that it’s not just code, but a part of a common block, and follow ideas from it

3) changes to the original block would be merge-compatible downwards (and actually pending)

4) can eject code from this hierarchy in case it completely diverges and cannot be maintained as a part of it anymore

Instead we generate this thread over and over again but no one can define “good {structure,design,circumstances}” etc. It’s all at the “feeling” level and doing so or so in the clueless beginning makes it hard to change later.
I see what you mean. DRY and WET and similar ideas are delivered as objective sometimes, but I think it's better to view them as general heuristics, as most rules in software should be.
Remember "acid rain"? Remember "the ozone hole"? We have solved, or greatly mitigated, environmental problems before.
> fission reactor

Am I wrong that the plutonium in the Voyagers is not in a fission reactor but in an RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator), which converts the heat from the plutonium into electricity. ?

I suppose the heat is result of fission, but I don't think an RTG is what is meant by a fission reactor. ??

The thing is, a company that likes to sell itself as having stellar product design should be held to a standard of criticism for stellar product design.

And contrary to popular opinion good design is both usable and looks good, many just skip to the looks good part and call it a day. When do users notice their mouse is empty? When they want to use it. Charging preventing use in thst case is just bad design.

Recently I’ve been working on a new project where we created many resources in a lot of different stacks. A feature of CloudFormation is that you can output values from your stack, which is great for referencing resources in other stacks. However, while there is a use-case for this, I’ve found that it’s better to avoid using these outputs and instead use SSM parameters.
Unfortunately they do not support PostreSQL... But their transclusion support is excellent.

If folks go vegan, go full vegan and accept permanent change in your life, not some desperate half-assed attempts to change as little as possible, which don't seem to work. That's valid for any diet, or any other change in life.

Ie I eat beef steaks maybe once a year. I can really appreciate them, but its just not something that I feel should be part of my frequent diet, can prepare tons of other tasty stuff that are lighter on meat. Control a bit your emotions and understand where they come from, and you can be happy as a clam with any diet.

Anything can be done terribly wrong and misused while formally correct if approached without reason and measure.

Instead of judging Buddhism, just practicing the simplest form of it by just meditating daily and consciously trying to be mindful and kind throughout every day usually does a great job. The same can be considered a simple form of Christianity as well though.
