I went from only using my MacBook's builtin keyboard to using a Lily58 split keyboard and it took probably about 2 weeks to fully adjust. I started out at around 100-110 wpm on the standard keyboard. On the first day of the split I was doing about 20-30 wpm, after a week I was up to 60 wpm, and then 80wpm after 2 weeks. Kept improving more slowly after that. I did switch cold turkey, i.e. using it 100% of the time including at work.

Now I'm about a year and a half later and am up to 140wpm. I think the biggest problem for me on the standard keyboard is the bottom row index fingers and pinkies, the "natural" motion of my fingers lands right in between the two keys on those fingers so I used to make a lot of mistakes there, especially when typing fast.

I think the author may have overthought it, but it kind of depends on comfort with recursion and how focused he was when working on the problem.

If you aren't comfortable with recursion, I can see it taking a while.

It's basically a walk down a binary tree with some extra logic. You have to write two recursive functions, one each for (b) and (c) but they have basically the same structure with different return values. The function for (b) can be used for (c) (not the most efficient, but it does work). (d) requires minor modifications to the functions created in (a)-(c) so you can start with copies of the originals and make the change, I think it's a one symbol change in each function, or maybe two.

> US citizens don't even feel particularly fat and comfortable in their own economy.

Do people ever? I know plenty of people who cry poverty, and being “crushed by taxes and inflation”, and about “being a “wage slave” from a boat.
No surprise but tragic nonetheless.
The monetary policy we have coerces people into passive investing, creating bubbles. When rates are low, you see bogus "tech" plays like wifi water dispensers, that's the scam the author means. Also makes taxes weird, e.g. why capital gains aren't the same as income (today USD ≠ past USD). Gold standard is wasteful though; Fed could just keep a steady money supply instead.

But it's our scam. The Fed isn't only diluting Americans' money; USD is a world currency, and the US tries to keep it that way by whatever means. So we kinda benefit from that.
Good callout — we're being a little vague to the public while we build out these first use cases (HN doesn't count as the "public"). Expect more detail soon!
"seems to be" is not the same as "is".

I'm glad you observe the distinction though.
I have used Affinity photo and it is a really powerful alternative to photoshop. Have not used any other products but have been very impressed with Affinity photo.

That trump's narrative of what tariffs are is a lie and that these do not in fact help the economy. They can help, but not the way trump is using the tools.

Affinity’s stuff is freaking fantastic. I’m not a professional graphic designer but I spend enough time in such apps to want to have nice ones. Adobe’s apps are insanely expensive for occasional use. Affinity is very affordable, with the main complaint I’ve heard being that they aren’t identical clones of Creative Suite.
I am wondering the same techniques we use to augment chunks for RAG also the same technique used to augment training data with rich metadata. A preprocessing step which ensures metadata rich text for creating foundational models.
Has someone compared this to other modern alternatives? Stalwart (open core), chasquid, maddy, ...?
Yeah, it was written for first year students at MIT. Those are definitely more advanced students than at many other universities, but it is written for 1st-2nd year college students in a technical (math, science, engineering) discipline.
The real backing all economies across the world need, and look for in the US dollar, is trust. If we were capable of radical trust across every country in the world in tandem, then ideas of who manufactures more, salary, etc, would evaporate and it would be the timeless question of “how do we all survive and thrive together rather than against one another?”. Trust is a limitless resource that still has to be earned and that is why the US has been so successful, unfortunately we are destroying that trust.

I guess I don't get what's objectionable about working for someone who doesn't understand how you do what you do. Isn't what matters being appreciated? I certainly can't work for someone who doesn't value what I do, but I can care less whether they actually understand how I do it.
If a manager communicated with and listened to their team, but their team had written a web service with gaping security holes or disastrous data integrity practices because all their senior engineers were incompetent and/or were hired at a level that was above their ability, would that manager find out just from chatting with them?

I promise you that it's not guaranteed. You need to actually go looking through the code to find everything that's wrong.
I use their products daily both professionally and personally, mostly Designer and Publisher. Coming from someone who also used to use Adobe products, the affinity suite meets my needs almost perfectly. There are some times when I sorely miss a feature, like bitmap tracing and proper vector brushes in Designer and variable spread sizes in Publisher. That said, if you're going to pay for software, they're 100% worth the price.
In Windows there's an optional updater service you can install at least. But I think the reason for this is that some people want to make 100% sure the browser doesn't make any connections on its own, even if it's simply for checking if there are new updates.
My suspicion is that for a lot of people that grew up in and only know the US, there's a sense of impending doom if "American hegemony" ever were to be replaced by something else.

But since there's no real practical experience of how that would actually feel (or rather, how a very high quality of life and subjective happiness are possible without an US salary in many other countries), they instead project from something that does exist in the US: Downward social mobility. (And given how US society treats its less fortunate in many instances, that seems scary to me too.)
The 5th one is just outright misinformation. The title:

>DOGE says it's saved $105 billion, though it's backtracked on some of its earlier claims
Excellent article, and a reflection of my own successes in my career thus far - and of recent, life in general.

I'm not an SME in anything specific. The fact I know this, already puts me in the top 50% of IT Professionals. The fact I can identify my level of expertise in specific fields or subjects ("I know what I know, I know what I don't know, and I'm willing to admit the latter") probably bumps me into the top 25%. Even if you're a "C student" in your career, being a C student in multiple related knowledge domains will make you far more valuable than a B student in a single domain, and that's my approach to things.

I'm not CKA-certified, but I can still grep what value Kubernetes brings to the Enterprise and engage with it because I did the reading. I'm not certified on any of the VMware product line, but I've built some degree of tenancy into the product without spending a dime on their Automation suite, because I did the reading, because I dove into the product line and put in the work. I'm no AWS-certified Architect, but I've moved global datacenters into AWS because I did the reading.

Seriously, this comes up time and time again, but it always bears repeating: just doing the reading immediately boosts you into the upper echelons of something. Finishing a book on the fundamentals of drawing will make you a more accomplished artist than 90% of your peers. Finishing a book on photography fundamentals, or the exposure triangle itself, will make you a far better photographer than someone using their iPhone on auto. Finishing a course on a specific technology will make you more competent in it than most of your peers, even if you don't get a credential from it.

Do the reading. Always do the reading.

But more than doing the reading itself, you also need to apply the knowledge from reading. That's when the rubber meets the road, when reality encounters ideals and things break, fall apart, or fail. That's when you go from the top 25%, to the top 5%. From there, it's all diminishing returns, so you have to pick-and-choose what brings you joy, what sparks your passion in life, because the "easy growth" is gone. You did the reading, you put it into practice, and that's all you can do until others recognize your expertise for what it is.

But you can get to that top 5% pretty quickly, and pretty easily. It just takes a little bit of reading, and some basic practice.
Excellent bait. You ignore the points brought up in the parent post. You ignore other peoples' direct questions (like mine about what specific actions you you'd take regarding Ukraine and how you think those actions will play out over the next decade). You actually haven't made an iota of a point, but you're so confident that you have that it distracts from real conversation.
I'm curious about what happened. IIRC, as you mentioned too in your reply, that Java was supposed to run in embedded devices. It was supposed to be lean and fast. But I can't imagine the modern Java doing that...
In Canada it's pretty much like this. If you graduate from a Canadian university you can get a work permit and a path to permanent residence and citizenship. Lots of software engineers around here that took that route.
Damn, I used to buy them over any other brand exactly because they didn't have this scummy behavior.
> The main product made by the US is the dollar, and it used those manufactured dollars to outsource everything. Most jobs in the US are now basically fake

These two hot takes at the top of the essay really undermines everything else the author might say in the article and brings into question how serious and critical their thinking is.

Several comments here against the article talk about the Chinese economy problems and this article in this morning’s BBC is a pretty good summary of the dynamics and the problems, notwithstanding manufacturing prowess, China is facing: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8x4vj8rj9wo

Compression works on finite data, and AI models need to keep open for new data. So they should be less greedy.
Normalising GDP for the amount of money in the system suggests that velocity of money is the is actually the interesting metric.

Say the monetary base is $100 and the GDP is $1,000 initially, then the monetary base doubles to $200 and the GDP doubles to $2,000. It looks suspiciously like no real economic activity was generated and that suggests that velocity is the growth measure.

uMatrix[0] (discontinued/archived in 2021)[1] and uBlock Origin (UBO)[2] are both by Raymond Hill/@gorhill.. he said he can only afford the time to continue with one and chose the latter. I'm guessing GP meant UBO. (UBOlite is also by @gorhill, but it's constrained by the browser)

“Instead, Bhartrihari tells us, ordinary language is a crystallization of something already implicit in reality. Reality itself is fundamentally linguistic, and what we think of as language—ordinary language, with its words and conceptual divisions—is just a devolution or fragmentation of this more primordial linguistic totality. This is precisely why, for Bhartrihari, the ultimate reality is shabdabrahman, a linguistic absolute.”

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” — John 1, KJV of the Christian Bible

The claim is for security. I’ll leave it to the reader to decide if the fact it primarily affects ad blockers was a happy little accident or intentional on Google’s part.
This policy?

It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox.

I'm not seeing a real issue here, just FUD.

Google is killing the most effective ad blocker for Chrome. That ad blocker still works on Firefox.

Why wouldn't users switch?
Currently the limitations don't matter because ad companies haven't exploited them yet to forcefully show ads to you.

I would assume that once uBlock Origin Lite is highly used it will rapidly become worthless as companies start targeting it
Likely way more than that.

Considering how rare genuinely original ideas are… it’s likely even the 90th percentile HN reader will be regurgitating and parroting until middle age, at least.
No. Changing things increases the chance that working things will break when it comes to computers, the wear and tear on computers in general comes at a much slower rate than the rate of update induced failure.
The simple truth is that Chrome is convenient and people are lazy, and so they'd rather make excuses than switch to one of the dozens of privacy focused alternatives out there.
The days of Google engaging with the tech community, or even pretending to try and explain their decisions when it comes to Chrome, SEO, or search quality are long, long gone.

There really is no need for an explanation here, its all laid out: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG/ and https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/googl/earnings tells you everything you need to know.
Will second this. It's why I live in the comments, rather than scurry for OP recognition. It's why I invite comment and critique, so I can learn more things from other perspectives I'd not considered (not gonna lie though, that's a rarity on social networks and forums these days, compared to the usual goalpost-movement and general nastiness).

The OP gets the discussion going, but the discussion is in the thread. Sticking to the top level is like judging a book by the Goodreads summary and reviews; to really appreciate the content, you have to read the book.
Making an inelastic resource (gold) the unit of exchange in a growing economy is a recipe for deflation. You don't want the most economically sensible decision to be holding onto capital, since that results in precisely nothing useful being done.
Worth noting that this looks like a different issue. You're reporting high ink level not being accepted, but the other post reports high misalignment.
> including that some things you command Firefox to do involves using your data.

Mozilla has never used the data you upload/send via Firefox to non-Mozilla websites (as it should be), and they shouldn't have that permission just as Epson the company shouldn't have the right to use for any purpose a paper marked as classified just because some fed employee sent a digital copy of it to an Epson printer.
Left arrow is not where my fingers are, but ctrl-b is.

To be clear, this is to reinstall it if you accidentally uninstalled it. Keeping it enabled is easier but still follows a dark pattern.

Fair point, laser is great. Color laser is preferable, but not always comparable to what some inkjets can do.

Also possible to schedule/automate a test print every so often with the low cost of printing on the large tank printers to keep the print heads happy.
but that doesn't really answer the question of why a gold stabndard is better. The gold standard didn't make the industrial revolution happen. And the gold 'standard' was arbitrary itself, and the government could alter it at will. It was just as 'fiat' as anything.
The reasoning is that Google, an advertising company, wants to show you ads
Another upside is that sites can now just use these banners that Lite cannot block.

We can finally block ads in our webpages and have ads! Win-win. This couldn’t be ever achieved without the truly titanic coordination efforts from google.

There are plenty of crappy but important websites that don't work with Firefox and there's hardly ever a way of knowing that's the issue without opening Chrome and seeing that it works there. I'm not putting Firefox on my dad's PC just so he complains about not being able to access his bank, etc. Maybe Mozilla should focus on that issue instead of an AI website builder, ad server, etc.
There are multiple points in the article, each of them probably deserving its own article. I want to focus on the two.

One is the peer effect. Who you surround yourself with absolutely matters. This applies to the content consumption, and this applies to your surroundings too. This can be as simple as going to the library, having surrounded by other people working and researching is great, even if it's just schoolwork. Beyond that, I have found I enjoy spending time with people who are deeply interested in some kind of a craft. Listening to someone talking about a piece of software they are working on, or a music album they are recording, is absolutely interesting. It sets sort of a benchmark for yourself too.

The other one is the point about how 'little' time it actually takes and how easy it is. This is a point that is both true and false, in many ways. If you have general software development expertise, finishing[doing the exercises as well] a single book on a language/technology/framework will absolutely get you to the intermediate level on that piece of technology. Finishing a book isn't hard, you can do it in a weekend.

At the same time, as easy as it is, it is also hard. There are lots of obligations in life. You probably have somewhere to go that weekend. You are also a bit tired, you have been working during the week. And well you have to socialize a bit to be healthy, so shutting yourself off every weekend isn't something you want to do either. I find occasional, short retreats healthy for this reason. That seems to be a nice balance.

In the end, it is simple, but not easy, that's the word I was looking for. It can be achievable if you plan ahead and are purposeful in your actions.
You could probably 3d print most of the parts quite easily except the print head
