Would be cool to build one into a baseball hat. Or even put an array of car parking proximity sensors into that hat. https://www.kit.edu/kit/english/pi_2016_003_feeling-spaces-w...

The empty cities are interesting. People don’t want to live there because there are no jobs and no services. There are no jobs or services because there are no people. Sounds like an opportunity for the government to step in and create empl

Stability will beget over-confidence which will bring exuberance. If the system feeds on its own information it might be impossible to stabilize. And do you even want stability? The boom cycle produces exuberance that allows funding risky p

FWIW I browse with show dead and most shadow banned accounts deserve it for their abrasive style and lack of substance. It sucks to be collateral damage though, I sympathize.

Well, you jest, but what if we could create an LLM that follows dang behavior? He’s pretty low-touch on substance and mostly moderates style. An LLM should be able to copy that. If I didn’t have to work for a living I might pursue that, tha

It kinda went the other way - HN has a calming feature that prevents you from quickly replying to a comment on your comment. That was clearly on purpose.

Yes, but… there were a half-dozen people here whose comments I alway enjoyed for the deep and nuanced perspective. I haven’t seen them in a few years now, sadly. Maybe some light-touch people focus would be a nice compromise. Like, highligh

I believe you might be looking for the term “toxic positivity”? I don’t necessarily subscribe to that description, but I see where you’re coming from. It’s an interesting choice on their part. Probably targeted at a certain audience who are

Did that ever work for anybody? It’s an obvious idea, someone must have tried it by now.

Low-hanging fruit depletion is a problem, but there are ways of dealing with it: - A larger number of people searching for the next Newtonian apple all over the place. - A smaller number of larger groups that pursue a narrow area with inten

Snowflake is hiring. https://careers.snowflake.com/us/en/university Mostly Bay Area and Seattle area, but many others too. Onsite.

You will quite likely end up with a non-scalable “services” business instead of a scalable “product” business. I did.

If IT investment brings low to no returns, what are we to make of the universal embrace of IT by the markets and absolutely humongous valuations and profits of the big tech? Are the markets being irrational for the last 50 years?

The bullet point about technical competence kinda left us hanging - if this is what you don't do, what do you actually do ?

I wonder what is the significance of it being a salt rather than a pure lsd? For d-amphetamine making it a salt produces an effect similar to delayed release. The result is sold as a “more modern” ADHD treatment Vyvanse. So is this achievin

Well, things have changed since I looked last. Thanks for explaining. FWIW, back in the nineties we just wrote our own setjmp/longjmp for VMS to avoid stack unwind - save registers / restore registers. We used it to implement coro

by DenisM 3y ago
The only platform I’ve seen stack unwind was VAX/VMS :) But yes, you do need to allocate the stack which could take up a lot of ram. It’s odd not to mention it in the article though.

How does it compare to FoundationDB? Nether the paper nor the GitHub page mentioned it.

by DenisM 3y ago
Setjmp/longjump are the built-in coroutines in C, no?

Did that work out well for the business? Maybe that’s what they wanted? It’s a serious question.

I think it’s more accurate to think of lawyers as a guild. Likewise doctors, accountants, plumbers, and electricians.

I could use something like this for large Java projects.

Still rather odd not to have a video on the page of a product where animation is the key selling point. Maybe a video wouldn’t convey all the benefits of the design, but lack of video does not inspire confidence either.

Skimming the article I couldn’t find which phone models they tested with. Any ideas?

A simple solution is 2FA unknown/new devices.
