Like with food one aspect to realize is that you can nudge yourself one way or another by making certain decisions in front.

It is harder to eat unhealthy if you don't buy groceries that allow you to make unhealthy food. And you buy unhealthy food when you enter the grocery store hungry.

Similar frontloaded decisions affect digital consumption. This is mostly about how we design the places where we consume, how we set up our devices etc.

A good way to start is to switch off notifications for certain classes of apps and setup an automatic do-not-disturb based on your schedule (e.g. between 22:00 and 10:00). Don't put distracting apps on Desktop and home screens, those should only be opened by you if you actively decided to do so — adding multiple steps to doing so is a feature, not a bug.

If you really wanna go hardcore you could DNS block certain apps during certain times, forcing you to read a book instead.

In the end it is just about creating an environment for yourself where the things you want to do are easier choices than the things you want to avoid.
Everything about this sounds highly unusual:

1. Universities do not typically allow graduate students to be PIs on grants. This is for liability reasons. Even for postdocs it would be highly unusual to have full, solo PI status on a grant.

2. Federal funding agencies, and the panels that review grants, would be highly dubious about a graduate student as the sole PI on a grant.

For example, NSF's Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1; https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg/24-1/ch-1-pre-submission#...) explicitly states:

"Graduate students are not encouraged to submit research proposals but should arrange to serve as research assistants to faculty members."

NIH is even more constrained w/respect to graduate students. Even pre-doctoral fellowships (F31) at NIH to support a specific graduate student are submitted by a faculty member.

I can't speak to DOE or DARPA policies off the top of my head on this point.

3. Could you provide a grant/award number to lookup on NSF Award Search (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch), NIH Reporter (https://reporter.nih.gov/) or the award search page of whatever federal agency awarded this grant?
If I found myself in a meeting where people were using phrases like "I’m sensing..." then I would probably find some different people to work with. A meeting is not a therapy session. Most of these meeting pathologies are due to a lack of competent leadership.
Could you cite some references for actix and serde?
Why not try it yourself? ;)
When I hear people crow about lost “trade” it makes me think about this guy from Frozen: https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Duke_of_Weselton
So did they fix the iOS Calculator bug?

On another note. Since Calculator is so complex are there any open source cross platform library that makes it easier to implement?

I hate when people bash good things without providing any details. This is so unhelpful. I've been using DDG for 5+ years; switching to Google never helps to find something useful on top.
Yet the public voted for someone openly stating they'd carry out DOGE.

Majority is just a collection of tiny minorities, in this case my minority opinion partially aligns. As it turns out minority isn't aways what you think.
Progressivism is a particular set of political beliefs. Progressives is a noun. Adding a new meaning that is sort an adjective, even if it is similar to the dictionary definition of the word progressive, will be confusing. Can we have progressive Progressives? (People who want to hit the Progressives’ goals, but faster).
USA exports are idling around 1/4 to near 1/3 of the GDP. Our economy is heavily tied to imports from other counties.

When it comes to isolation I think of this:

The word invasion itself is a good example of this.

A French ironmaster says: "We must protect ourselves from the invasion of English iron!" An English landlord cries: "We must repel the invasion of French wheat!" And they urge the erection of barriers between the two nations. Barriers result in isolation; isolation gives rise to hatred; hatred, to war; war, to invasion. "What difference does it make?" say the two sophists. "Is it not better to risk the possibility of invasion than to accept the certainty of invasion?" And the people believe them, and the barriers remain standing.

And yet, what analogy is there between an exchange and an invasion? What possible similarity can there be between a warship that comes to vomit missiles, fire, and devastation on our cities, and a merchant vessel that comes to offer us a voluntary exchange of goods for goods?
This is posted every time this software comes up here. I don't know where you people are from, but in my dialect (Eastern US, Gen Z) "gimp" is just not a particularly rude word. It's used primarily as a verb, meaning "to reduce in efficacy, to hamper." Obviously it has it's noun definition too, bit if you think that has anything to do with the lack of adoption of this software you're kidding yourself, you gits.
I think if you looked at the history of the global economy and geopolitics since 1970 or 1900 pre Federal Reserve, I think you could make an argument that the dystopia that you're worried about already exists.
>-Packing cubes make packing a bag much easier

I agree in general. Underwear and socks are always in one packing cube and I carry a lightweight mesh laundry pag.

In addition, I have a few small kits I pretty much always carry in addition to my document folder. Need to replenish (and cull) from time to time but it makes the checklist a whole lot simpler for most trips.
No chance, relatively few software companies ever adopted Rails but a huge number went from Java or .NET -> JS/TS. The draw of cross project code reuse and having teams only needing to know a single language remains compelling.
But this data fully destroys the idea of a binary economic choice presented by the current political landscape. It's not renewables vs fossil fuels. It's renewables AND fossil fuels and whatever else we can use to make stuff move. The whole ideological split is a fabricated culture war. The economy demands energy, full stop.

Another thing to be wary of in this title: headlines like this are written specifically to sound like renewables are winning this ideological battle against fossil fuels. It's so vital to understand: that is not happening at all. Renewables and fossil fuels capacity are BOTH increasing (though renewables at a faster rate - don't confuse the derivative with the scalar value of interest). We are not "replacing" fossil fuels by any metric, and saying so is outright greenwashing. The atmosphere responds to CO2 concentration, not good intentions.
nice. 8MB RAM is a lot for a 386. Something with a math coprocessor would have been better. Also there is no info about the configuration (IBM compatible BIOS, PIC )
Don't all buildings in the UK end up splodged with rust marks, mold, moss, and water damage? I'm not trying to be snarky here, I just wonder why it doesn't bother you the same way and why you're talking as if non-brutalist buildings are somehow immune to the impacts of living on a wet planet.

Aren't there many buildings in the UK where the moss or the weathering are considered picturesque and desirable?
One of my wife's relatives was the master for the sea trials for one of the ships involved in Sea Launch. He had an incredible career, starting off as a brass helmet diver for the Royal Navy and ending up with Sea Launch.
Yes you are right, well said! I suppose it's key to look at your project from a birds' eye view and try and estimate how large scale you expect it to be.

If you're building the next open source self-hosted facebook, yeah I think a convention is necessary. However, if you're building "my calculator app in Rust" then you're probably okay just doing commits "abcd123" just so that you can have remote code storage :^)
I would expect injection molded ones to be available. There are lots of small laptop manufacturers and integrators that would procure these parts.
OpenAI and Gemini literally produce the correct results.

It seems like you don't understand or haven't tried their deep research tools.
By now I’d call it abandonware.
Did you account for the maintainance of any equipment out in space? Just because we can produce space junk faster doesn't make the rest any cheaper.

Also, getting robbed is a luxury compared to not having air to breathe.
Ah, you're a rebaser. That's why you have this issue. As someone who prefers merge commits, this has been entirely a non-issue for me.
What are you talking about, seriously. 10-15 years ago, eclipse was neither slow nor unstable. It worked perfectly well. IntelliJ was not slow or unstable. There were not real major licensing issues.

As a newcommer to javascript, I was able to learn faster and produce same quality faster then non-IDE developers. Not because I would be smarter or more talented, but because I had no emotional need to prove myself by not using ide.
The parent isn’t suggesting not to buy things to influence what the corporations are doing. They are suggesting that if you, yourself, are unhappy with a services impact on you, then the first and most obvious step is to stop paying for it. That’s a reasonably surefire way to remove that distraction.

Conversely, if you don’t like the impact of something on your life, but cannot bring yourself to remove it, that is almost exactly the definition of addiction and you should probably go looking for help.
It took only one long solo wait at a crosswalk in Chon Buri to convince me that it was worth paying about 3 USD to travel about 6 blocks. Traffic yielding to a single pedestrian is a quaint notion and as you say a lone farang seems to be a soi dog magnet.
It also refers to a political faction in the electorate, comprising about 11% of voters, that has interests and values aligned with that group: https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-voices/what-if-we-had-.... E.g. knowledge workers who benefit from globalization and upper middle class people who benefit from cheap labor provided by illegal immigrants.
I created a guitar_tab.txt which was a bat file.
I have both and the one offered is really weak. If you pay you can use Gemini but it doesn’t have agentic access to smart home controls meaning you can no longer ask it to turn on or off the lights

Then, when the announcement of the name change is on the HN frontpage, tens of HNers will post their anger "the name was already well-known, this is a marketing disaster!! They should know better!"

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
The addition of `import` and `removed` blocks make this a lot easier to manage than it was a year or two ago. You can manage the migration in the Terraform code rather than having to run separate state management commands.

True, but this only helps a small fraction of the application’s userbase.
Based on a cursory search, I get the impression they haven't solved the particular cleaning problem the author did (i.e. removing places that just have restaurants rather than actually are restaurants). In one case on my food & drink list I have a place that is very highly reviewed, but is actually a museum; I doubt the reviews refer to the restaurant specifically.

It is interesting to play with though. Thanks for the reference!
I will keep calling it myopic and inflammatory, and I will add disrespectful to the list.

The things people are shipping in Rust are stuff Rust is good for. As far as JS goes: mostly tooling.

Notice how virtually nobody is shipping websites in Rust. Sure there's frameworks and async, but we're not there yet.

The fact people are building libraries for servers, websites, gamedev, etc, in it is something that is required for experimentation.

People don't deserve the disrespect shown here for exercising their curiosity and trying to advance the field.
> it's literally more difficult to do this lending thing than to just dump the books on the device and have them all there forever with their essentially infinite storage space

True, but you could say the same of music streaming platforms, but we're still experimenting with ways to make that work. In both cases, the platform is trying to replicate via policy what was previously an inherent limitation of physical media, and different offerings have made competing choices about what limitations are critical to the business model and which can be let go of.

I personally see a lot more promise in the model where libraries use a policy to enforce a loan period but pay per-checkout royalties instead of trying to recreate wear and tear like Libby/OverDrive does. It makes it more feasible for small libraries to have an "infinite catalog" of ebooks, and authors seem to like it better: https://bsky.app/profile/premeemohamed.com/post/3liafq4gsoc2...
I'd argue we've gone far beyond alienated. We're actively rejecting and dismantling, en-masse, the very systems we foundationally operate within.
The UK is becoming a destination country for hiring low-cost services labor. Not exactly an endorsement of future success.
2 years ago when backpacking in East Africa, I went from "there is no way I'm ever doing this" to taking nothing but those moto-taxis ("boda bodas") even for 40 minute inter-city rides with a 12KG backpack on my back. No helmets to speak of. Except maybe in Rwanda.

Part of the learning experience of such travel, is to see firsthand how the locals of these places perceive the risk. How they manage risk in general, and what is the "value of a human life" for them as compared to our western perceptions.
But US companies can get sales tax exemptions, no? And these exemptions serve the same purpose as VAT refunds.
I imagine you could do most or all of this with yacas, which is actually a computer algebra system (GPL).
I really never understood why hobby servos are so shitty. Their protocol uses only a very narrow range of PWM values and not the full 0-100% scale and that alone completely wrecks their precision beyond what their motors can achieve.

Also they do measure position to achieve their feedback, might as well just output that on a 4th wire.
I mostly meant that a media hosting/streaming service that is FOSS and has as much fit and finish as Jellyfin, and as many integrations as Jellyfin, feels like a huge accomplishment. This is a space where there is a ton of corporate investment because there's a ton of money to be made. And Jellyfin holds its own against offerings by Google, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, etc. That is incredible to me.

Oh boy this sounds like quite the situation. You obviously understand the internal affairs far greater than I, but you did say "I am the person who has to put him in his place". Not saying this is the solution but if you're the person who put him in, you're probably the best person to kick him out?

Again, I don't want to meddle with decisions involving total stangers' careers but philosophy that the CEO at my old company had (which was a startup optimising for 100x efficiency) was "hire fast; fire fast" and his startup is doing pretty well under that mantra!

Exactly! I got my first job in Java after a few years as hobbyist programmer in other languages (mostly PHP and JavaScript but a few others too) and what struck me was that the tooling was both mandatory and painful to use.

I wasn't fond of JavaScript (In particular, I never liked dynamic typing), but when I had the opportunity to work in node.js instead of Java I took it immediately, just to avoid the pain and suffering that the Java toolchain inflicted on me.

Pretty much feels like a second job to me and currently in the stage of advancing in my career and learning Rust on the side and more devops things and then the actual job as a Java SWE I already do like a 150%/60+ hour week, I can not have a 250% load.
There has to be a small Unix-like OS that could fit an RP2040 or ESP32. No MMU might be a deal-breaker for a more complete (and secure) OS, but we don’t need all that functionality in every form factor.
A triumph of hope over experience.
I don't think it's highly damaging. It's an acronym. Is BBC's name highly damaging?
Others have answered but: Java had its chance and it was demonstrated time and time again that it is much better at other things.

There is probably no language in existence that "ticks all the boxes". And this is good.
What the Hell Happened to Me (and to Silicon Valley)
Ask HN: Are there any tech trends that baffle you?
I hope you’re right, but I suspect you’ll be wrong. I think Obama was the last president to shrink the national debt. Clinton did before that.
The point is that it’s worth fighting, not whether the end goal is attainable.
Conspiracy theories? Can you elaborate?
Build.

Ship.

Repeat.

If you know the results of an experiment before setting it up, it is not an experiment.

Good luck.
It is as though the community wants to discuss this, but bad actors keep shutting down the conversation.
Which is good for those countries. In my home country of Bangladesh, China is helping build infrastructure. While the U.S. was bankrolling left wing social and activist programs to destabilize the government (and ultimately contributed to the recent overthrow of the government, which will derail a decade of consistent growth).
ahahah!
It’s instructive that you mention only USAID. Based on past conversations, you were born and raised in Asia, right? So maybe you have an ax to grind. What about all the other agencies that are being gutted?
At least from an Android point of view, the JVM world still has its share of frustrations and lack of polish/QoL relative to other software development spheres. Gradle has me pulling my hair out multiple times each year for example, and yet for some reason nobody sees it fit to replace it with something less ridiculously complex and prone to error (user or otherwise).
Came here to upvote you for the laughs.
My counter is if you can't produce it within a day it's most likely not a necessity.
What did you ask it that blew you away?

Every time I see a comment about someone getting excited about some new AI thing, I want to go try and see for myself, but I can't think of a real world use case that is the right level of difficulty that would impress me.
I made the transition the other way around. I tried Emby, then Jellyfin, and finally Plex. Plex is just much better, especially with Plex Pass. The apps are everywhere and they just work (Tizen, iOS, web, etc.). The Jellyfin apps are subpar, poorly translated, buggy, and not available on all platforms (looking at you Tizen). Plex is basically Dropbox in the infamous Dropbox HN comment.
OK, in all fairness I did think all we were talking about was the trigger, not the underlying vulnerable system (which I already had understood to be less than solid over the years.)
> It’s all common bugs in the heads of those you communicate with.

The problem is that people are not equipped to fix those bugs, its very hard to fix a bug with a buggy software after all. Which is why, a second opinion, in this case, an AI (or a therapist, a friend, etc) will help significantly.

I _should_ have commented on it, but I kept quite. If he really wanted to know what went wrong, I should have told him what happened, but I don't know that. If he had some ML chatbot analyzing the images and such, he would have had a second opinion.
Most likely the whole point is to destabilise and eliminate government structures with the goal of filling the resulting power vacuum with privately owned services. That's what Thiel and his ilk are all about.

The first part of this plan - destruction - is easier than the second half - creation. If they're successful with the second half, people will be worse off because it's a big step towards neofeudalism /strengthening oligarchy. If they fail, people will be a lot worse off because the structures they're destroying are actually doing important work.
Nietzsche believed that a philosopher's philosophy boils down to a reflection of his personality and his daily life, and this article seems to assume the same.

I don't buy this for a second. I think it's easier to swallow the very opposite.
Yup. As an older programmer I can say that there were indeed very good reasons back then to stop using Java. Mostly related to JVM but also the language lacked lots of features.

Java today looks like a fine platform, though.
You can’t generalize about the entire public sector from a couple anecdotes. Of course there are going to be badly run groups inside an organization of that size. I can tell you there exists management inside the federal government that runs performance management and fires underperformers.

Since you fall victim to such an obvious fallacy, it makes sense that you would wind up hired into low-performing groups.

Some might say he was just stretching his neck, but personally I love an electronic music gigs, and I've seen that behaviour enough times before. He's not quiet about his ketamine usage either (not an upper per-se, but close to an alcohol-like hallucinogenic from my experience).
I like his list of recommendations for apps and websites. Are there any other recommendations?
