Any language that's older than 10 years is going to make questionable life choices. It's very easy to be Captain Hindsight, and ask why didn't you do X, 5 years ago? But adding feature X also makes another feature or property impossible, either via opportunity cost or features/properties being at odds.

That said, what do you mean by questionable life choices?

I just hate the Dock. I wish there was a way to make it completely disappear. I have no need for it, everything I can do via Terminal/open, Spotlight, or cmd+tab app switcher. It's really annoying how baked into the OS it is.

With regards to wfh, I’m of the opinion that a large amount of why wfh is nice is because the office now sucks. I am an academic scientist but let me offer my perspective.

I have three appointments, one at a software company, one at the university as a research scientist, and one at a university I am visiting.

At the company we have an open office plan. Most people don’t have assigned desks and often time people are working with customers. However we have a core r&d group but because it’s all open office basically everyone does their own thing because it’s disrupting to talk. Therefore I go to the office when I want to have lunch with colleagues but that’s about it. Nobody much complains about this arrangement because most everyone is working at the customers and those in the office are not typically there every day. Also the company pays for home office setup so everyone is happy to work from home some days.

At the university I’m visiting everyone, professors included, are crammed into tiny offices that are shared. Nobody has their own office. Nobody is even allowed to have their own white board you must share it with office mates and it must be regulation size with is only one meter wide. I was even told that the white board should only be used in collaboration that if I was using it for myself I should better use paper at my desk. You are not allowed to move or rearrange the office in any way. There is an industrial coffee machine that logs which coffee you take and reports through its 5g enabled internal computer. So far this coffee remains free. The management often complains about how people are not allowed to work from home yet there is only shared meeting space which can only be used if it’s booked through the online system and often it’s all booked. Even though the building seems busy with people most prefer to work from home or a coffee shop.

At the university I am a research scientist at I have my own office. It has a couch and a giant white board for discussing projects with phds and postdocs. There’s room for my textbooks and I have lots of desk space. When I work there it seems as if I’m working at 10x speed compared to anywhere else because all my resources are right there. There is a nice espresso machine, there is a nice culture of lunches and there’s a research centre lunch space. Everyone in the Research centre seems to show up to work every day and often seem happy to be there. Is rare that people work from home and often times even if there is crunch time they simply close their office door.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that it is possible that people would like to work from an office if that office was a nice place to be. It’s also possible that work from home is a great solution for lots of people. But I think that a great many people experience an office space that is onerous. And so given the option they would prefer to never be there.
Well, in my case, I’ve been involved in them, for most of my life.

I won’t go into detail, as that is sort of the way we work. We don’t really talk about our work at the level of press, radio, and film.

Otherwise, finding volunteer opportunities is usually fairly straightforward. Find a cause that personally motivates you, and look for organizations in that context.

The whole thing about “volunteer,” though, is that it is synonymous with “unpaid,” and that’s a dirty word, with this crowd.

Also, working with these types of orgs can be maddening.

When there’s no money to be made, ego becomes the currency, so status games abound.

And, when people don’t pay for something, they often treat it like crap.

That means that we have to find our own motivation, and have a thick skin. If we are doing something that we truly believe in, then it makes it worthwhile. If we aren’t motivated by the cause, it can be rather demoralizing.

In my case, I stay focused on the people that my work helps.

Yeah, there's essentially nothing in the article that isn't stated in the post title. That's the downside of a post which is about a tidbit within a longer article, rather than a post linking to an article entirely about its subject.
> Why would I want a clock that is, on average, a half minute off?

Because in 99.9% of the cases I don't care about the seconds, it takes away space in the top status bar, and the constant changing of seconds in the top-left corner of the screen is distracting. And for the remaining 0.1% of cases, there is the clock app that shows seconds.

What benefit do you gain in daily life by having the time down to the second? The argument "so it's not half a minute off on average" seems a bit self-referential.
> But is "overstimulation" ... "bad", according to the overall message?

Dozens of DVD signs jumping around, hydraulic press slowly pressing macaroons, infinite subway surfers, lofi girl, some guy eating burger, achievements popping left and right, hands molding some crap. All of that fit on a mobile screen with sounds of lofi, rain, thunder and constant clocking of dvd sounds. And I didn’t even reach bottom of the pit.

> But is "overstimulation" ... "bad", according to the overall message?

Smartest HN commenter.
I don't think Zuck's motives were ever pure or noble. We must remember that Facebook (original name: Mashbook) was originally created to rate the fuckability of the females residing in Harvard's co-ed dorms. Basically, it was Hot Or Not for a very targeted population.

The concept of a social graph was stolen lock, stock, and barrel from the Winklevoss twins.

Zuck's talent is unabashed brashness and chutzpah. He thinks the rules simply don't apply to him. He is not an original thinker, but rather very intellectually derivative. The fact that he grew up wealthy opened many doors for him, even despite the Winklevoss twins' sentiment that he comes from new money and is thus irremediably beneath them, and even worse in their WASPy blueblood minds, Jewish new money. ('How dare a Jew steal our idea!') Shady actors all around, with not an admirable figure amongst them.
one thing you can reason about a function is: does it exist at all? if you don't have parametricity, you can't even be sure about that. in Rust, as long as your type satisfies a generic function's bounds, you can be sure instantiating that function with this type will compile; in C++ you don't have that luxury.
> C++ breaks parametricity even with normal templates

I might be wrong here, but as I understand it "parametricity" means loosely that all instantiations use the same function body. To quote wikipedia:

"parametricity is an abstract uniformity property enjoyed by parametrically polymorphic functions, which captures the intuition that all instances of a polymorphic function act the same way"

In this view, C++ does not break parametricity with "normal" (i.e. non-specialised) templates. Of course, C++ does not type check a template body against its parameters (unless concepts/trairs are used), leading to the problems you describe, but it's a different thing as far as I understand.
I've seen such policies in other countries. What typically happens is that the well off buy 2 cars, one with odd and one with even license number.
> I injected jquery first to select the element using $()

In Chrome and Firefox, $ and $$ are available in the console as replacements for document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll, respectively.

This doesn't work in scripts though; only in the console. In a script you can use this:

const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);
Yes, they are different: the latter is a prerequisite of the former.

> You all know the Dock, it’s been at the bottom of your Mac screen for what feels like forever (if you keep it in the correct location, anyway).

On a website with huge margins at the sides. I think the OSX Dock is a pretty good thing, but it makes so much more sense to keep it on the side of the screen and preserve vertical pixels. Unlike (some versions of) the Windows Taskbar, the icons are all square with no text, so you're not even sacrificing readability.

It's annoying I do LLMs for work and have a bit of an interest in them and doing stuff with GANS etc.

I have a bit of an interest in games too.

If I could get one platform for both, I could justify 2k maybe a bit more.

I can't justify that for just one half: running games on Mac, right now via Linux: no thanks.

And on the PC side, nvidia consumer cards only go to 24gb which is a bit limiting for LLMs, while being very expensive - I only play games every few months.
What a freaking snitch! That rat of a neighbor.

This is NVIDIA, not Apple. They don't charge you a RAM tax (at least for this product). There is only one config for RAM: 128GB.
The C++ vector<bool> specialization is bad because breaking many important implicit contracts about taking the address of vector<> elements makes it practically unusable if a normal vector<> is expected, but it isn't specialized incorrectly in a formally meaningful sense: all errors are outside the class (unsatisfied expectations from client code) and implicit (particularly for C++ as it was at the time).
This is perfect!

Just one request, can we get dual or more subway surfers!
Actual range hoods mess with ventilation, so it's easier for builders to stick a recirculating one and not have to worry about ventilation imbalance.

There's also the belief that it will somehow break the main ventilation motor because of the large volume of air forced through it. But it shouldn't actually be a problem.
This is the parents right? My parents would, after dinner, check my homework and test me on it. I would definitely get caught doing this on night #1.

Do I get a big Nvidia card, topping out at 24gb - still small for some LLMs, but I could occasionally play games using it at least.
According to the unemployment is at historical low crowd, people apparently have more than enough to do. Never mind the puzzling reports from people actually looking for employment.
This would be closer to a personal cloud. It's meant for other devices to connect with.
C++ monomorphises generics on demand too. That's why it can have errors specific to specialization and why template error messages spam long causal chains.

C++ compile times are due to headers. Which in case of templates result in a lot of redundant work then deduplicated by the linker.
Yup.

I’m not really a fan of the MVP model, as I think it results in substandard product, but it is actually a very good way to get end-user feedback.

The main issue, is the same as with controlled testing: There’s often a dearth of useful feedback.

With shipping product, people just vote with their feet. They don’t use it, and won’t tell you why. In the case of the stuff I write, we deliberately keep as little information as possible, about our users, so soliciting feedback is a challenge.

I spend a lot of time, “reading tea leaves,” so to speak. I try to watch people use my stuff “in the wild.” I find focus groups and usability testing to be almost worthless.

The surprise is usually the mental model that users develop. It can sometimes be radically different from the actual way the software works. That’s not always a bad thing, though. Sometimes, we should “lean into” an inaccurate model, if it reinforces the usefulness of our work.

I do write a bit about that kind of thing, here: https://littlegreenviper.com/the-road-most-traveled-by/#chao...

Rome fell after they stopped using lead.

There is no evidence whatsoever that lead was widely known to be toxic, until a group of conspirationists took over the academia.
In fact such a belief couldn't have been widespread. The historical quotes appear to be fabricated.

In fact it's essential. Roman sewers and sanitation quickly flushed it down the drain, by 235 it was in chaos, long distance trade was no longer possible and a thousand years long dark age ensued. The original depletion happened deep in prehistory, the most major event happening around 26kya. Also by ice cores, substantiated by geological changes and mammoth skeletons.
That's a terrible blanket statement, very US-centric. Not everyone wants to start a company and you can't just reduce ones motivations to your measure of success.
Not a tech industry example, but the Royal Mail becoming ‘Consignia’ has to be on the same level (they changed it back pretty quickly; it was kind of at the height of early-noughties branding consultant madness, when quite a few silly short-lived renames were happening).

As a foreigner, I think this is too naive. The Western elites are in cahoots, that's why they meet all the time. They negotiate things and then they make a DUAL narrative to be pushed by ad-controlled media and social networks so they can divide and rule.

And, sadly, we are getting dumber and easier to manipulate.

Grassroot movements with legitimate concerns are infiltrated and destroyed. Elite made "grassroot" movements are allowed to do things while it fits the dual narratives.

There is active suppression of talking about safety, housing, jobs, food quality, economic prosperity (of the people not corporations or state!). This is replaced with endless arguments about race, abortion, guns, immigration, religion, scare tactics, and war.

The recent H1-B drama was telling. The elites tripped and exposed their lies. There was a collective "wait a minute" that united antisemites and Jews, right wingers and Bernie Sanders, cats and dogs. And the system got scared like with the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street.

Stay safe. It looks like it's going to get rough either way.
“On 8 February 1999, while testing Y2K compliance in a computer system monitoring nuclear core rods at Peach Bottom Nuclear Generating Station, Pennsylvania, instead of resetting the time on the external computer meant to simulate the date rollover a technician accidentally changed the time on the operation systems computer. This computer had not yet been upgraded, and the date change caused all the computers at the station to crash. It took approximately seven hours to restore all normal functions, during which time workers had to use obsolete manual equipment to monitor plant operations.”

We do not have a full list of problems that were averted. The only way you can state it was overblown is if you know what would have happened if we hadn’t fixed all the systems. There were definitely countries that didn't do much and had very few issues, but that doesn't prove that e.g. the far more computerised West wouldn't have had.

The only rational course was to check every system that the failure of which would cost more than checking it. It was insurance against a problem that had unknown levels of downside until the work was done.
Look at the NDP party this last term for their true colors. A leader who in his own words votes against a no-confidence vote made up of his very own words. Is an equal partner in every decision the liberal government made this term with their coalition.
