ph2082on Jony Ive's design agency launches website

Vow. That is minimalism. Clean and Simple.

Otherwise corporate website these days looks overkill, starting from that annoyingly Huge Hero banner with big image and unnecessary text. You have to scroll to bottom before you can find anything useful.

No career page though. Look like they will be hiring through referrals only or agency.

ph2082on Don't let social media think for you

Most of trends have less than 10k comments/likes/.... Etc. That means only 0.00014 percent people of the planet. Rest don't know or don't care. That realisation made me not to bother about latest outrage.

Whole Twitter experience become so much better when you only keep to people you like. Don't think twice to unfollow someone.

ph2082on Eclipse IDE 2021-03

Been using Eclipse for 10 years. On big Enterprise multi-module maven projects. For Java + Maven, everything just works. The number of plug-ins it comes with simply outstanding.

However, I want Compiler Compliance level setting not be drop down any more, as Java release cycle has changed. I like to play around with cutting edge. Few days back, I downloaded Open JDK project loom 17 release to play around with Virtual Thread a.k.a Fibers and there was no option to set it to 17. I tried LSP Redhat plug-in in VSCode, but it also gives Invalid runtime JDK warning.

I'll continue using Eclipse.

ph2082on Ask HN: How to stay focused and motivated working from home?

I use this quote occassionaly by Chuck Close:

  "Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself."

Second advice is - Get a routine. Learned about it from a book - Daily Rituals: How Great Minds Make time, Find Inspiration and Get to Work.

The book has short paragraphs and anecdotes about world famous artists, writers, novelist, musicians, scientist, painters etc, so some people may find it boring. But I keep reading it intermittently.

ph2082on Not Lisp again (2009)

The first version of factorial in SBCL takes less time and processor cycle,

  CL-USER> (time (fact 5))
  Evaluation took:
    0.000 seconds of real time
    0.000002 seconds of total run time (0.000001 user, 0.000001 system)
    100.00% CPU
    1,550 processor cycles
    0 bytes consed

   120

compared to second version of factorial

  CL-USER> (time (fact2 5))
  Evaluation took:
    0.000 seconds of real time
    0.000027 seconds of total run time (0.000027 user, 0.000000 system)
    100.00% CPU
    64,240 processor cycles
    0 bytes consed

  120

How it works for other lisp implementation. However when I reach for bigger number things looks different.

  CL-USER> (time (fact 10000))
  Evaluation took:
    0.044 seconds of real time
    0.045335 seconds of total run time (0.036745 user, 0.008590 system)
    [ Run times consist of 0.021 seconds GC time, and 0.025 seconds non-GC time. ]
    102.27% CPU
    111,336,538 processor cycles
    69,739,552 bytes consed

  CL-USER> (time (fact2 10000))
  Evaluation took:
    0.021 seconds of real time
    0.021083 seconds of total run time (0.020312 user, 0.000771 system)
    [ Run times consist of 0.003 seconds GC time, and 0.019 seconds non-GC time. ]
    100.00% CPU
    51,983,719 processor cycles
    78,751,760 bytes consed

I wonder some kind of compiler magic kicks in, for higher number.
