Origin - A genetic history of the Americas by Jennifer Raff. Recent evidence of how humans came to the Americas; it's a significantly different story than our conventional wisdom account.

Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches by Marvin Harris. How cultural norms establish collective behavior.

The Extermination of the American Bison. Written in the late 1800s as the tragedy was unfolding. Lots on great detail on how and why we decimated a keystone species in a matter of a few decades.

Plato's Revenge by William Ophuls. A concise manifesto on societal change. Lays out a vision for a new post-growth, post-oil, ecological consciousness that incorporates modern science, religion and philosophy.

Four Thousand Weeks. Far from a self-help time-management book, this is more a philosophy book on human's relationship with time. Delightful read.

Breath by James Nestor. Modern humans are breathing incorrectly due to factors of modern life. An exploration of the science and art of breathing properly.

Bernoulli's Fallacy by Aubrey Clayton. In the statistical wars, this book takes a strong stance: Bayesian is unequivocally better. He exploses the racist/colonial history of frequentist statistics, as well as the fundamental flaws in their math. Posits that mis-applied frequentist methods are to blame for the reproducibility crisis in science.

How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil. A no-nonsense, factual account of the systems that keep our modern globalized society running.

Elements of Clojure by Zach Tellman. A concise, high-level philosophy about how we build and compose abstractions. One of those books where every sentence is gold. My only wish that the book wasn't tied to Clojure (most of the book is applicable to any language, despite the title).

Tidy First? by Kent Beck. How and when to make structural changes (refactoring, architecture, paying down tech debt) vs behavioral changes (new features, bug fixes). You need both, and you can use economic theory as a guide for when to invest in one or the other. But you need to treat them differently.

Numerical Linear Algebra for Programmers by Dragan Djuric. A code-centric introduction to common linear algrebra routines, Using Clojure and the neaderthal library - a high-level API for fast math optimized for CPU and GPU hardware.
I read in the FT this morning that rather than the traders being told to fuck off as I earlier stated, they are being paid a handsome sum to go quietly.

Many of them will simply retire, one trader is quoted as saying. Sounds like the Costa del Sol and Canary Islands are about to get a large influx of cockney butchers.
But you don't need to extrapolate. Current rates are far more than sufficient for catastrophe. It's merely that the effects of dangerously high fertility rates are immediate while the effects of dangerously low fertility tend to lag the advent of said reduction by around 60 years.

So for instance Japan is still living the good times relative to what's yet to come since they collapsed in the 80s. South Korea hasn't even begun to really feel the consequences of their actions since they only collapsed in the 90s. And places like Finland or the Western world in general only collapsed even more recently.

But collapsed they have. And because our fertile window in life, for women at least, closes long before we die - most, if not all, of these places will, unavoidably, see dramatic population declines, screwed age ratios (with consequent impacts on the labor/retiree pool/costs), shrinking economies, and so on. And we're left to rely on some ever smaller generation(s) down the line to start having large families in this context.

I didn't say that those who do rewrites are clueless. I said that rewrites are really hard - far harder than most people expect.

That weird switch behavior? I almost guarantee that someone, somwhere, some when depended on that behavior. Either they no longer use the switch behavior or they no longer use the tool, or they just don't use the rewritten version. But how do you know that? In the best case, the code would have a comment: "This code is to simulate Berkeley 3 behavior for users porting from..." But even that doesn't tell you whether anybody today still depends on it.

I mean, it could be a valid strategy to not rewrite weird behaviors - any of them - and see what breaks, and then only add the ones that are still needed. The upside is a much cleaner rewrite, with fewer (and, hopefully, better documented) weird behaviors. The downside is that you have to break stuff temporarily to find out. (Hopefully you break it in live staging rather than in production...)

Could it just be they realised there's only a tiny market for such a chip? You can do a better job with a dedicated, more powerful chip, rather than sticking two lesser chips together. It's really expensive and compromises both designs.

If I recall Linode has a "dedicated core" feature which reserves a CPU core for you, but I doubt that is $5/month so you're likely right. User must be quite lucky to have no utilization on host for process to not get cache-evicted.
That's a poor analogy - a house is private property which only you and invited guests may enter. A website you publish on the Internet can be viewed by anyone who discovers it.

I was once a huge fan of Murakami, but I did not enjoy 1Q84.

At the time of first reading his novels, the reason I enjoyed them so much was how different they were to anything else I'd read. They felt like a lazy Sunday afternoon, except weird things keep happening. Sometimes those weird things feel sinister, sometimes not. You just sort of drift through the book, never quite grasping the entirety, but it is soothing enough that you don't care.

However, once you've read a few, the forumula becomes more obvious and starts to lose its appeal. I started with Hard Boiled Wonderland, which I recommend, and another that I enjoyed was The Wind-up Bird Chronicle.

But after that, it is probably enough.

Yes, but also, languages like Java and C# have caught up a great deal over the past 10 years and run incredibly smoothly. Most peoples' perception of them being slow is really just from legacy tech that they encountered a long time ago, or (oof) being exposed to some terrible piece of .NET Framework code that's still running on an underprovisioned IIS server.

Volunteers clearly get value out of volunteering, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Everyone is free to define their own measure of value. That's one of the reasons it's called a "free" market. A market where money is the only measure of value is definitionally not a free market.

It's very noble of you to do stuff for "the economy". Most just pursue selfish needs and desires like food, clothing, shelter, and wanting to make a difference in others' lives.
Show HN: Blucerne – Filter-Driven UI for Bluesky
I put this together in my spare time over the last week to scratch an itch I had.

Heavily inspired by Lucerne[1], which has stuck in my mind for a long time despite never having actually used it.

Still pretty basic at this point, but this time around I wanted to focus on shipping something as quickly as possible instead of working on something endlessly in private.

Happy to answer any questions about how I'm using this, the stack etc.

A prime example: JIRA's backlog view. In the self-hosted version, you could easily find the issue you were looking for in the backlog view by just using the browser's search, press Ctrl+F, write some words, you have the issue you were looking for. The cloud version Atlassian forced their users into, OTOH, features their own implementation hijacking Ctrl+F combined with dynamically removing the issues not currently visible from the DOM, to ensure that no-one can have the convenience of the browser's built-in search.

I wonder if the 'Froot Loops' used in the study contained American-style levels of refined sugar. Maybe the rats just learned that driving the car gets them that sweet, sweet hit of the crack cocaine version of the delicious and nutritious sugar cane.

Plus, even a single human Froot Loop would be quite large for a rat. Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems like that's a ton of sugar, yet the article makes no mention of the refined sugar content, after even mentioning their having used cocaine before in their studies.

It looks to me like those researchers have zero clue about the effects of refined sugar on human beings, much less lesser mammals such as rats. Perhaps I'm wrong, but this looks like worthless drivel, but with good funding to invest in "cool" toys for disposable animals.

> the same way we standardised on "class"

Did we, when did this happen? Languages like Haskell use type-class to mean something closer to traits/interfaces in other languages. I wouldn't be surprised if other languages have their own definition of what 'class' means.

> to describe, well, classes.

What is a class? Not trying to be an arse here, genuinely, what is it? In OO languages it would be a type with a collection of named-members. How is that different to a record with fields that are either data-types or first-class functions? Is inheritance implied? If so, what's a 'sealed class'?

What does 'class' really mean? Classification? Doesn't the type-name alone classify something? Really, 'class' is the weird one imho; it's just everyone's so used to it now that it seems correct. It's similar with other OO terminology like 'object'. On the surface it seems sensible, but when you really think about it, it's kinda odd.

Ultimately, we all just end up being most comfortable with what we know.

I've wondered how my machines have worked without negative voltages, and this helps. Thanks!

These days, a charge pump device costs just a few dollars from Ali-express, so even though things work fine this way for many things, it wouldn't hurt to make them work for most if not all things.

When a replacement power supply does provide negative voltage, I try to use it, even if it does mean adapting -12 volts, which is what most ATX power supplies provide, to -5 volts, which is what, it seems, many 68030 Macs want.

Funny - I just did an ATX power supply for a Quadra 630, and it seems that most of the 68040 machines were using -12 volts instead of -5 volts (except the Quadra 605, which happened to use the same form factor and power supply as the LC / LC II / LC III).

Hello Product Hunt community!

As a long-time Apple enthusiast who works with English, French, and Polish, I’ve always found macOS's default language-switching tools to be less than ideal for managing multiple languages. The process feels clunky, and I wanted something more intuitive and efficient. That’s why I decided to create Type Switch — a simple, powerful language-switching tool designed to make multilingual typing effortless.

Type Switch Key Features:
Quick toggling between installed languages.
Customizable button displays the current language with adjustable size, color, and transparency.
Hotkey support for instant switching.
Voice announcement of the language when switching.

Who Will Benefit?
Whether you're a writer, developer, or student, Type Switch is designed to simplify your multilingual tasks and enhance productivity. Its intuitive design and features ensure you stay focused on what truly matters.

Available Now!
Type Switch is now live on the App Store, and I would love to hear your feedback. I hope this tool becomes an essential part of your macOS experience, enhancing your productivity and workflow.

Check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve and expand the app's capabilities.

Thank you for your support, and happy language switching!
> It has possibly taken 500,000 casualties gaining only 18 miles of front in the last year.

That seems highly unlikely considering the over inflated Ukraine estimate of Russian casualties is 700,000 for the whole war.

More trust sources estimate total Russian casualties for the war under 500,000, so I doubt one battle was 500,000.
Cloud Native Reference Architecture
I remember listening to the podcast of this debate and found this read interesting. I’m sort of inherently inclined to take Klein’s side here, but one thing that Harris said in the debate I thought was really important was that we need to be able to talk about controversial things. Like what if some inconvenient science came out showed minority group a way in some way that could be interpreted inferior to majority group b (this was in response to a study that I think showed that white people had more Neanderthal dna than black people - what if the results had been the reverse)

But then, Harris’ response to regrettable conclusions doesn’t seem grounded. If you’re going to say it’s ok to rationally decide that 6 extends from 1-5. What’s to stop you from saying that policy should extend from rationality. That with limited funds, educational opportunities should preference populations with high IQs.

He sort of has this well obviously we shouldn’t implement policy that preferences groups over individuals. He rejects talking about the moral/political implications of his discussion of intelligence, and then somehow makes the assertion that his moral framework is indisputably correct.
Indeed. CTA buttons and everything. Instead of simple, readable text-based menus, icons everywhere because they are "more intuitive". Navigation aids because, otherwise, "users get lost". Useless animated pictures together with apologetic error messages whenever the system (frequently) crashes. Everything facilitated by tools like Figma, enabling designers to be creative by pointing and clicking and leaving the multiple implementation and maintenance details as an exercise to developers who have now to "specialize" on front-end. What a hell. Yesterday I had to use a government web app and got lost. They even bothered to create some video tutorials but unfortunately the software went recently through a redesign to "improve UX" and now the icons don't match the ones in the tutorial anymore. The amount of damage they create with their cutesy interfaces and their condescending attitude is astonishing.

Free accounts can access the Spotify API, last time I checked.

I've been also thinking this. They should have a tier for users that want to use 3rd-party integrations, and/or a tier for people who want to create such things. Strava could also do something like this. However, both companies have been going the other way and crippling their existing free APIs, and then suffering user backlash. It's almost like it's a bad idea to remove features... Who'd have thought.

It's also the thing for bigTech to do as well. They break all of the societal norms to make the world they want, then "work" with regulators to make it okay for them to exist yet make it extremely difficult for anyone to follow as they will have to deal with the regulations.

Once you get to the top, the act of pulling up the ladders behind you is "just" self preservation.

How do you figure this. Javascript got TypeScripted because it was forced on us by browsers.

Is there an equivalent api that forces the use of Go? None that I know of. Maybe there are some domains where you need access to specialized Go packages that would be hard to recreate in another language. I see that sometimes with C and C++, but I haven’t seen it with Go.
