Either I’m dumb or there is a discoverability problem with all these features. Probably a bit of both.

It infuriates me a lot more than all the liquid glass stuff (on which I’m neutral overall).

While Terence is -without a doubt- born with prodigious abilities, I think credit should also be given to his parents Billy and Grace who seem to have managed to simultaneously nurture these special abilities while still letting Terence have a happy (?) childhood. This is not easy to do.

And then, once you got your PhD, only then you would be expected to publish new, original research.

These kind of insider perspectives, even if they come with their own biases, are very interesting nevertheless.

I wish I would see these types of articles more often.

For instance, a bunch of clients all make a request to a server at the same time, briefly saturating the server. If all the clients have the same timeout without jitter, they will all try again together at the same time once the timeout expires, saturating the server again and again. Jitter helps by « spreading » those clients in time, thus « diluting » the server load. The server can then process these requests without saturating.

> Alas, it cannot; the list of stuff to build is passed from the meta build system to the build system, usually by fiat.

It can, actually. At least for make. Just use a wildcard in uour rules: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Wildcards

I highly recommend going through the make documentation at least once in your career. Per the lindy effect, as it has been around for 40 years, it has a decent chance of sticking around for another 40.

AI doesn’t help because if you can articulate your genuine motivation as a prompt for an AI, you should just use the prompt as the cover letter which will be a lot more effective than using the AI-generated letter, as the AI will muddy your authentic motivation and diminish its impact.

Being a dancer (lindy hop) with a large number of dancers in my social circle, dancing is actually a frequent source of tension among many couples around me.

Couples splitting up because one is heavily more invested in dancing than the other is a common occurence.

And don’t get me started on lindy hop vs west coast swing.

Once this basic-but-crucial skill level is mastered, using vim more proficientely as a daily driver is entirely a matter of taste. Personally I prefer using a fully-fledged IDE for anything that goes beyond a simple script.

I got (probably lifelong) tinnitus and hyperacusis that day and it never went fully away.

I basically stopped a passion I had since being a teenager because of this injury.

Be careful with your ears, folks.

And you never answered how this manifest is somehow different than the self-referential png.

It seems we do not understand each other (unfortunately HN comments are not the best avenue for deep discussions) so this will be my last post on this thread as we both have better things to do than talking past each other.

Again, to me this is the exact same problem as this self-referential PNG file, which is a very cool trick but which can be (demonstrably) computed with limited compute resources.
