>food seems to taste better when you make it yourself

That is definitely a testament to your skill! I struggle with cooking, and it took a long time for me (year+) where I could make a specific easy dish comfortably, in a reasonable time, and to a texture / taste where I actually like it, and not just kind of not hate it.
Eyewitness testimony has been shown to be far less reliable than most people believe it to be. Human memory is frail and subject to modification if not outright fabrication.

Not to say that it should be completely discounted, only that it should be treated as evidence with a less than perfectly reliable. Not quite "hard" evidence, but definitely something that should be considered.
I’m always glad to see new work on tools, and amplifications to our capabilities of any sort.

I played with Smalltalk, and later Pharo, a bit, but it was years ago. As I recall the editor was always aware of the state of the system. And I think it was at a level beyond what any current IDE can do. While I do not remember if it allowed you to enter invalid code, it was definitely an interesting approach.

So I will be following Eyg for sure.

The intended interpretation for clocks IMO is "we are now past this time".

Like a mile marker when you are running down a jogging track.

It doesn't matter if the granularity is one-day or even one-year, like the ball drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

I’m not here to carry water for the asshat truckers, and I don’t understand the Canadian constitution or legal system, but the Oka Crisis was resolved with enough brutality for at least one crow pie.
Yes. Though analog second hands often "tick" the seconds. (Some move the second hand smoothly.)

You're replying to a commenter here, not the OP.

I am the actual OP. If you're concerned by my use of the word "best", please replace that word with "innovative for consumers". If you have an issue with this new wording, then we'll have to agree to disagree.

While MacWrite may or may not have been "niche" as you said, it most definitely heavily influenced another "niche" word processor available today: Microsoft Word. Word for Mac (1985) was the first graphical version of Word and it was heavily inspired by MacWrite.
Nothing comes close to Microsoft Excel. It's bizarre to be honest how bad the competition is in core business applications.
Taken at face value, this implies their copyright infringement claim was fraudulent, but in pursuit of a higher good.

But according to many replies to that tweet, they were actually working on behalf of actual copyright infringers.

Not sure what to believe.
In Idiocracy the masses are aware that things are not as good as they once were, they recognize and value competent people, and then voluntarily agree to put them in power so that things may be fixed.

IMO that is a depiction of some kind of meritocratic utopia - exactly the opposite of what we have, on all accounts mentioned above.

This is why I quit Hearthstone even though I never spent a dime on it. I realized I had been habituated into playing it every day. I started feeling like a lab rat trained to push a button for a reward.
> Its not really open for debate these days although people love to reject reality.

Whenever I see something is not open for debate, I view it with a lot more skepticism. Almost always, this type of framing, to make an idea untouchable, leads to abuse. We saw this in a lot of the “trust authorities” type messaging in the pandemic.

I use a similar notation, but never quite found a satisfactory notation for elementwise operations (e.g. `-M-a + -b`, especially broadcasted ones which I end up doing as `-A-B- + -c 1-`) or for denoting what derivatives are with respect to. Using differentials gets around some of the latter, but still, I was never quite satisfied. Any chance you've found nice options there?
Living in QC, I'm scared about the future of medical care and infrastructure. I wonder too what's the situations for other provinces.
What requires the format to be text-like?
I'm not sure I agree with this assertion. I think structural editors need to be language specific so that they can offer higher value edits that might only make sense for specific languages.
Eh, seems like the wrong solution if that's the real problem. Building in some signal strength/topology intelligence to weaken the signal would be a better approach.
Eyewitness testimony has been proven to be unreliable; even in cases where there is no evidence the witness attempted to be deceptive. So yes, if literally the only evidence that they were the person to assume you is your memory, then the standard of reasonable doubt means they get away with it.
My favorite part of the year is when everyone needs to re-write their OKRs/Goals before review season, because we ended up have to do actual work that related to the end-user product, and in general most humans cannot predict the future.
My five year old son was watching Lankybox, that stuff is mindnumbing. I tried to control what he's able to watch, but next thing I know he's watching it again. I ended up removing Youtube, relying on PBS Kids. He protested though, PBS Kids is long format shows, and that's not stimulating enough for him.
Interesting, but practical? We have this great new technology to translate into local or even personal dialects. What's the use in settling for cognateful rather than native? It's like using a car to flatten the snow so that you can walk behind it more easily, rather than riding in the car. Maybe it could be useful in creating bilingual signage where there isn't space for both languages, and understanding is optional.
Yes, they harassed people, they cornered people, yes they restricted access to stores, buildings, and yes they used their truck horns to attack local residents by preventing them being able to sleep for days on end. Preventing people from sleeping via loud noise is literally considered a torture tactic.

It counts as farce. The law literally as passed states that the law itself is not capable of dealing with the situation, so it is law to deal with the situation.

It's a clear sign that your government is failing its responsibilities. The US has done it too.

Your government is with a straight face telling you that it doesn't legitimately have enough control over you so it needs to create extra-legal means of having control over you.

It's tyranny. There's a reason these acts only can get passed in war time. The population is too busy pissing its pants to realize when it's getting shafted.
This is true unless you look at something like a Seiko Spring Drive, which has a completely smooth second hand sweep, although it’s not entirely mechanical (and maybe only watch nerds care about this)

Want to give them a leg up, get the 'What every first grader should know' books, and continue with the next one each year. There's way less friction in learning when your child experiences multiple exposures to the material being taught.
All of this is made redundant by just... knowing this is how clocks work.

If you don't have a seconds hand/counter, you can't predict how many seconds are left in the current minute. If it's 11:45:01, it's 11:45 without seconds. If it's 11:45:59, it's still inside the minute-long interval known to everyone as 11:45. The clock can always be one second away from flipping to the next minute. I just mentally subtract one minute if I'm actually planning on being somewhere down to the fraction of a minute, and planning what I can do beforehand. Mentally subtracting 30 seconds is not any easier.

I don't see this as even having some kind of gimmicky benefit...

I think this is a pretty unsupportable position, even if you passionately and emotionally make a case for this with constructed evidence, it's still not a tenable position. I think you have an easier time making the case for a flat earth, quite frankly.

Can you elaborate or be more concrete in what you mean by this?
Do you have an idea what would be my external IP address? On my phone connected to a mobile network, I get assigned mobile IP address which is my external IP address. It's not attached to the SIM card because it changes when I reconnected. Is it handles by the BTS software? Do I get assigned an IP address and BTS communicates on my behalf using that address which comes from the mobile network operators pool?
To begin with, the people who make and influence strategic decisions at companies--executives, boards, and major investors--are just as susceptible to fads as anybody else. The difference is that the fads they get into have massive impacts on people's lives. You rarely get fired for making a bad decisions everyone else is making at the same time. We see this in professional sports where playcallers will make decisions that are conventional but demonstrably suboptimal.

There are a lot of managers who are force multipliers for their teams. There are a lot that do crucial glue work but aren't gamechangers. There are a lot who are mediocre. There are some that are counterproductive. It is very difficult to tell the difference between these. Even if you have lots of time, it is hard to isolate the work of the manager from the circumstances they're in. One way to find out is to get rid of the managers and see which initiatives suffer.

I'm guessing we'll see the number of managers gradually converge to whatever the long-term average, unless the nature of white collar work has changed. On case-by-case bases, teams that are hamstrung by insufficient management will demand more management. They'll get it, especially if they are doing critical work. Other teams will regain management due to the desire for consistency.
Let me unlock your hidden precision.

The writer makes an implicit assumption you just glance at the clock with no prior info.

Where seconds count, you can watch the clock until the moment it ticks. At that time you have greater precision. And due to your own innate sense of time, that precision decays for a little while (maybe even 30s?) rather than instantly disappearing.

I like to synchronize my clocks this way (when seconds are unavailable). Yes, it does mean I invest up to a minute more to set the time, and it's probably not worth it if you're doing so often (eg. area prone to power outages).

Honestly, Canada merging with the US would not be a bad thing. There are articles discussing Canada joining the EU. What’s the difference between being a state within the US and a country that is basically a state, within the EU? A lot of Canada - especially outside of certain cities like Vancouver - share foundational values with the US much more so than the EU.
I don’t think it’s terrorism but that’s not why the back accounts were frozen.

The people involved with noise pollution should definitely have been handed significant fines and escalating punishments similar to anyone violating noise ordinances. It gets trickier since these actions are in support of a larger organized effort but that should be the minimum punishment.

The terrorism aspect comes from shutting down trade on a hugely important trade route with our largest trading partner, holding the economy hostage to make demands of the government. That by itself isn’t terrorism per se but the legitimate threats to use violence to keep the embargo going fits the textbook definition of terrorism, using violence or threats of violence to achieve political goals.
You can just create a new company. There is an asymmetry there which your tit for tat approach does not take into consideration. And no, creating a new channel requires far more work.

I am okay with this timeline. At least it has better conversation topics than most of our current timeline.
> I don't understand this sentiment, even though it is common among Americans. Why is education seen as a competition between students, even in the younger grades?

Oh wow, I thought Americans were super lax when it came to this, especially compared to more competitive educational systems like China. My kid is in second grade and hasn't gotten a real grade yet.

Second this motion. I was on a jury which hung (didn't reach a verdict) because the last two hold-outs for conviction revealed only after we'd returned the (non)-verdict that their reasoning had been (and I'm not making this up) "he looks like a criminal".

Before you get distracted by that (admitted outrage), there were a couple of other weird dynamics at play:

1) The lead cop even gave those two holdouts the squicks. I was good, and didn't google his name until after the whole trial was over, but he'd been the subject of multiple lawsuits - including wrongful death, in which he rolled up to a scene being controlled by other officers and started shooting 8 seconds after getting out of his car. No one on the jury (said they) trusted him.

2) The case was horrifically over-charged. The defendant was shady, and was probably looking for a car to break into when the cop rolled up. However, there was nothing (besides prejudice and supposition) linking him to the drugs the dog found thirty feet away, and describing the items they found in his backpack as "deadly weapons" strained credulity. There might have been something there ("carrying burglary tools"? Is that a thing?) on which I would have voted to convict, but not the case presented.

Still, it was a coin toss. The first vote was eight to four to convict, and it all could easily have gone another way.
Indeed.

Start? Not generally I don't think.

That said, back in the day it provided functionality that JS just didn't, or was quite cumbersome.

With recent JS versions, JS can do a lot of what JQ did for it, but JQ's API or "surface area" is still syntactically smaller and (IMO) more sane than those JS improvements.
You misunderstand. There are thresholds where FPS produces visible results and there is diminishing returns after 60fps as most displays cannot do more than that.

When you make a game you'd want to hit those thresholds for as many users as possible. When you're reviewing cards all you can do is give a sampling of the landscape to get a rough sense of how the card would do in any given game.

Flooring makes more sense in every case, from years to milliseconds and more. A few reasons:

You want to send a message at exactly 13:00:00, you have a digital clock that doesn't show seconds. What you do is that you watch your clock, and as soon as it goes from 12:59 to 13:00, you press the button. That's also how you set the time precisely by hand. With rounding, that would be 12:59:30, who wants to send a message at precisely 12:59:30 ?

You have a meeting at 13:00:00, you watch the clock to see if you are early or late. With flooring, if you see 13:00, you know you are late. With rounding, you are not sure.

It is common for digital clocks to have big numbers for hours and minutes and small numbers for seconds. If you are not interested in seconds, you can look quickly from afar and you have your usual, floored time. If you want to be precise, you look closer and get your seconds. Rounding the minutes would be wrong, because it wouldn't match the time with seconds. And you don't want clocks with a small display for seconds you may not even see to show a different time than those that don't.

And if you just want to know the approximate time and don't care about being precise to the second, then rounding up or down doesn't really matter.
"Best way to alleviate that is more bandwidth."

I disagree. The best way to fix that is smaller segmentation for less overlap/congestion. Eg use more APs, make the coverage area for each smaller, intelligently adjust power on the devices so they aren't blasting farther than they need to.
Show HN: I fine-tuned an LLM to write LinkedIn posts
I used to suck at writing LinkedIn posts.

Back in Feb 2024, I wrote my first one…
With ChatGPT.

It was absolute trash.

I wanted to get better.
So, I tried writing 1 post a day.

Lasted a week.
Then quit.

Like everyone else, I fell for the YouTube rabbit hole:
"5-minute LinkedIn hacks to go viral!"

Spoiler:
None of that sh*t works.

At that point, I had two choices:

1⃣ Keep wasting hours writing posts that flop.
2⃣ Build something that actually works.

I chose option 2.

Because I’m a CS guy.
Had to show my superiority :)

So, I created my own AI model to write posts for me.
And it worked. (like actually, even I got surprised)

At first, I thought I’d keep it to myself.
Why share it, right? (human behaviour)

But then I thought.
Nah, let’s make it a product.

So here it is: Ideafloww.
It writes LinkedIn posts for you.

I loved WP5.1 for DOS because of one feature: "show codes" - it made it trivial to understand why the formatting looked the way it did, and to fix formatting problems. Other than that it was not outstanding software :-)

I never used Word in the DOS days so I can't compare, but it was obvious that Word for Windows was written natively for Windows and it "felt" much more natural in the Windows of that time.

I don't think you need to treat emotional harm as harm when you can criminalize credible threats or harassment (repeated unwanted personal contact after being told to stop).

There is the tort of outrage or "Intentional infliction of emotional distress" which does treat emotional harm as harm that can be recovered against in a civil case, but it's controversial, hard to prove and limited in scope.

Off topic but the other day I tried again to build a vanilla JS application.

By the end of the day having built quite a lot I then converted the entire thing to react within half an hour stopped wasting my time and got in with the job of building the thing.

I like to try library free JS every now and then and yet again it was not competition for react.

I know react, it makes sense to me, I find it easy and powerful, I know how to fix most issues and probably most importantly Claude is able to write react for me almost without me intervening at all.

I’m not saying react is for everyone but for me it’s a power tool that I know and the AI knows very well and it gets big stuff built quick.
The few DARPA tasks I've worked on or had steerage over usually involved getting results quickly and iterating. The initial kickoff call with the stakeholders were about shared vision, but then there was a quick feedback loop until a final report was derived from the call notes and slides.

In that respect, it's a very decent way to do R&D - you have access to a highly motivated stakeholder with a clear vision of how your work fits in the larger scheme, and are allowed to iterate your way to a product both are proud of.
