Not only are you making a lot of assumptions here, you have a woeful ignorance of Chicago neighborhoods but throw out names of neighborhoods like you're an expert (perhaps obtained from listening to Drill records or something).

Also, Beverly is one of the most integrated neighborhoods in Chicago, and it isn't even majority Black, so not sure why you even mention it. It also isn't 'adjacent' to Bronzeville unless you ignore all of the neighborhoods between them.

Thank you for taking time to write this! Based on your description, it sounds like reMarkable mostly matches my current setup. I'm a heavy user of (mechanical) pencil and paper.

Being an "excellent offline device" also matches one of my core requirements.
You could go back a couple of decades earlier (1960s--1980s) and point at AT&T who specifically prohibited third-party devices on their network (answering machines and even neck-rests or phone-book covers were among the prohibited items),[1] and had flatly rejected packet-switched routing as an obvious threat to their monopoly.[2]

Unix itself (and Linux, Android, and MacOS) wouldn't have existed save for a 1954 consent decree which prohibited AT&T from entering the software business.[3] When the company found itself with an accidental operating system the only thing they could do was give it away for free.

At work we need to distribute daily changes to a dataset, so we have a series of daily deltas. If a new client is brought up, they need to apply all the deltas to get the current dataset.

This is time consuming, so we optimized it by creating "base versions" every month. So a client only needs to download the latest base version and the apply the deltas since then...

Show HN: Offeryn – Build Tools for LLMs in Rust, with Model Context Protocol
Tired of standard lead generation tools limiting your search? Say hello to Telescope 2.0—your personal lead research agent!

Unlike rigid filters like "Headcount: 50-100," Telescope lets you craft hyper-specific searches:

Find companies with "at least 5 Product Managers but no QA employees."
Pinpoint "SaaS companies developing mobile apps."
Target individuals who graduated from top finance universities 10+ years ago.
Telescope makes traditional tools like Apollo and Sales Navigator look outdated. It’s built for precision and flexibility, no matter how niche your criteria.

We’d love your feedback—what are your pain points in lead research? Try it out and let us know what you think!
Yep, for our application, we have an `executionId` that is sent in essentially every single WebSocket message.

But client and server use it to maintain a record of events.
Ah yes, that was one of the main selling points of docker early on, fixing the "works on my machine".

The way I solve that problem is by working directly on testing/staging servers which have the same specs as production.

I almost never run stuff on my local machine, and if I do it's a well isolated piece of code whose IO signature I know exactly and I can mock external systems with ease.
modular in terms of using only some of the LLVM libraries without the need to pull the entire compiler into your project. In fact, many of the LLVM libraries have absolutely nothing to do with LLVM IR and have zero dependency on it. For instance, LLVMObject and LLVMDebugInfoDWARF. You can use those libraries to build useful tools, like your own objdump or just use it to read debug info.
I don't think it's universal, there are definitely teams and management structures where it's a group effort and people aren't hoarding story points or metrics or whatever.

I could go off on one about how is when the leadership becomes so detached from the with that they need layers of managers to deal with it, leading to horsetrading, artificial metrics and political chicanery. But fundamentally, if an organisation allows such cancer to develop within it, it chose to. Whether by carelessness or on MBA infection, the result is the same.
Certainly no intention to be negative. Not having run the numbers, I don't know if the older ones got slower over time due to more features, or the new ones are squeezing out new performance gains. I guess it's also partly that the bigger codebases scaled up so much over this period, so that there are gains to be had that weren't interesting before.

I still hope we can arrest this largely ourselves before the outside world has to, having seen what happens when the latter is necessary against a major power.
I can see a couple ways:

- double down on influencing the agent’s choices/decision by presenting highest-bidder options (for stores, restaurants etc).

- find a way to figure out the unique user ID behind an agent (which can be trivially done once the agent logs in to say google or facebook etc)

- partnership with AI agent companies to offer their service for free / cheaper in exchange of a complete lack of privacy. For instance the agent could agree to all the cookie policies in the world and let the ad tracker know who you are.

> you will be chatting with someone who putatively has a real name and a physics pedigree, and you ask them to answer physics questions, and they appear to have a really vast physics knowledge, but then when you ask them a simple question like "and because the force is larger the accelerations will tend to be larger, right?" they take an unusually long time to say "yep, F = m a, and all that." And that's how you know this person is pasting your questions to a GPT prompt and pasting the answers back at you.

Honestly, (even) in my area of expertise, if the "abstraction/skill level" or the kind of wording (in your example: much less scientifically precise wording, "more like a 10 year old child asks"), it often takes me quite some time to adjust (it completely takes me out of my flow).

So, your criterion would yield an insane amount of false positives on me.

I've never had a human personal assistant. I don't have a sufficiently "busy life", at least in the conventional sense. I appreciate that personal assistants can be useful for other people.

And I'm not knocking the idea of agents. I can certainly imagine other tasks ("research wedding planners", "organize my tax info", "find the best local doctor", "scrape all the bike accident info in all the towns in my county") where they could be a benefit.

It's the focus on these itty bitty consumer tasks I don't get. Even if I did have a personal assistant, I still can't imagine I'd ask them to make a reservation for me on OpenTable, or find tickets for me on Stubhub. I mean, these apps already kind of function like assistants, don't they?, even without any AI fanciness. All I do is tell them what I want and press a few buttons, and there's a precise interface for doing so that is tailored to the task in each case; the UX has been hyper-optimized over time by market forces to be fast and convenient to me so that they can take my money. Using them is hardly any slower than asking another person to do the task for me.

Is there any reason to think that this algorithm will actually be faster than what is currently done in practice?

For arrays in B-tree nodes, which is the main place where I have encountered this problem, I doubt it will be faster than just using `memmove()`, and for truly large arrays, it would be easier to use a B tree.

If that is the case, this joins a number of algorithms that are asymptotically faster than algorithms in use and paradoxically slower than them. Examples of such algorithms include all of the fast matrix multiplication algorithms, which are slower than good implementations of the the textbook O(n^3) algorithm (GEMM).

Definitely not as accessible for every day heating as wood but for something higher value like a blacksmith it might make sense to trade for it.

I think the bigger problem is the distribution of knowledge. Would French blacksmiths know of coal’s usefulness in the same century as it becomes widely used? Maybe in the printing press era, but it’s a bit of a stretch in the 13th century.
> So you start by telling me that I should just remove the dependencies from my dependencies, and then you tell me that you don't do that and instead choose dependencies that don't have many dependencies themselves? It feels like we agree...

There are two cases:
1. You have 100 dependencies.
2. You just started writing your code.

If you are doing 1) then you have to vendor/fork till it's acceptable.

If you are starting from 2) just don't add them.

> This is the thing: "I learned from history so I don't reinvent the wheel" should not be treated like a religious belief.

Nothing in programming should be treated as religious belief. But duplicating code can be just as deadly as dependencies glut, taken to it's logical extreme.

A golden middle approach is best, sadly no one can agree on it.
Am I crazy for thinking this is (mostly) useless?

It feels like programming in the last five years has turned into a competition of who can make the most abstract meta programming patterns. I think if you find yourself making use of this feature, you’re probably in a deep hole of your own making.

What is an example of a useful function that takes an arbitrary number of arguments each of which has an arbitrary type that isn’t as trivial as the examples given in the article? For super trivial stuff this is useful, and if std used this under the hood to provide std::first_arg or something, that would make sense. But the absence of this language feature doesn’t really seem like it’s holding back 99.9% of users.

Dashboards, tabs, trees, ... usually require at least some JavaScript to work properly. For some components, you may be able to use hacks around that. But I would generally not recommend that outside of experimentation. So a pure CSS framework is not going to work. It seems that you are not using a frontend framework like Vue.js. So I would recommend a library using web components for the interactivity. One good option is Shoelace [1] and there are a couple of others, too [2]. Take a look at the ones with the checkmark in the "W" column for libraries with web components.

Most of these behaviors seem perfectly normal to me. When I worked at FAANG, I often had to ask people (not my direct reports) to do something for me.

Pornel made this claim:

Not for specific APIs, for all APIs. Just building code in general, and getting it signed (for e.g. iOS) requires XCode. To which you said:

Why are you trying to limit this to specific APIs? Yes, there are some tasks you can only do in VS. But not to write any program working on Windows. Same for Android.
