Yeah it reminds me of bun, for node, in that way (and that probably exposes how well I understand tooling). It's like somebody just swept everything off the table and started over.

I never learned python the way I wanted to because for years I would first look at the excruciating transition from v2 to v3 and just not see a point of entry for a newb like me.

Now the same thing is happening with tooling for v3. pip? pepenv? python pip? python3 pip? I don't freakin' know. Now there's uv, and I'm kinda excited to try again.

This completely misses the point of my original comment. A C programmer that wants to continue to use their knowledge and existing code will be very happy using D. You're describing someone that wants to use D without the garbage collector. Those are two completely different cases.

I've been happily using D for a better experience with C code for more than a decade. First, because it's extremely rare to need to completely avoid the GC for everything in your program. Second, because everything you want and need from C is available, but you can use it from a more convenient language. Sure, exceptions won't work if you're avoiding the GC (which doesn't have anything to do with C), but so what. It's not like C programmers are currently using exceptions. You can continue to use whatever mechanism you're using now.

When you have an entire system dependent on compliance, you have a system of oppression. Behaviorism is already debunked as a way to evaluate how people respond to such situations because it completely ignores the internal state of people. Any system doing that is already a dehumanized system.

The performance and behavior issues will continue until the spiritual beatings cease. You cannot keep imposing systems of oppression onto people and medicate away their natural responses to it. Let the riot be the rhyme of the unheard and may these kids flip over all the desks of the adults not walking out of their jobs in response to fascism.
Ask HN: How do you tool your team?

I want an easy way to be able to share up-to-date binaries / distribution for tools / CLIs related to my business with the team (so that even non-devs can interact with them). Obviously I want this to be only accessible to my team. I'm thinking of creating a private Github repo (so only team access) with a shell script inside and a manifest which gets the latest versions of all tools and the installation instructions.

But I'd have thought this should be a common problem among companies, and there should be standard ways to distribute binaries / scripts (eg node or python scripts with their dependencies), installing the latest versions, the dependencies, in some isolated environment, and auto-updating / notifying the users on updates

Do you know of any existing open-source solution for that? (should be at least Mac / Linux compatible)

>“nobody was considering me for the management track”

I don’t know if this holds any more than saying “the only people who get into management are those that couldn’t hack it in the technical side”. There are many people who get recruited for certain management tracks and turn it down so they can put more focus on technical problems.

IMO at the end of the day, every job is about solving problems and it’s up to you to choose the track that aligns with the problems you want to work on. Some want to focus on people and administration, others want to focus on technical problems. A problem arises when orgs only have one route to promotion (eg, you must get into management if you want to be promoted).

Long term zero gravity experience and experiments were very important information for future space flight. Now we know a lot more about the muscle atrophy, bone loss, and vision problems that the author complains of. Having the first space station be zero-g was probably the right move.

But for the second one, more information on artificial gravity through centripetal force makes a lot of sense.

If a person wants to pay attention to their lifestyle and health, then in the US he will get one of the best results in the parameters you listed. That is just a fact.

If it is a fact, you should be able to back it up.

> And if we want to maximize these parameters among everyone, we need a ultratotalitarian government that will put all the people into concentration camps where they will work under threat of execution in the open air and eat a specially designed low-calorie diet.

Or the government could actually regulate things like food additives instead of just going with whatever industry lobbyists are saying. Sure, lobbying is of course a thing here as well, but clearly there are still differences there.

Hell, things like infrastructure funding could be used to encourage things like walkability which also helps with the health and quality of life of the population, but alas.

> > It also has its lowest-ever World Happiness Rankings. > > Yeas, and North Korea has the highest.

No, Finland has the highest. North Korea is not even ranked in the World Happiness Report.

> > The U.S. is currently leading in global declines in reputation, trust, happiness, and perceived positive influence. > > And that's good thing. For decades US has been doing atrocities all over the world, to the approving cries of other Western countries. So the only problem with US declines in reputation, trust, happiness, and perceived positive influence I see is that this should have happened decades earlier

While I am sympathetic to this line of thinking as a European myself, the current way this is going on over in the US just looks a bit silly. Basically just going out of its way to shed any remaining goodwill and soft power because... what, exactly?

Yes, because XORing two consecutive integers only differing in the least significant bit yields one.

xxxxxxx0 ^ xxxxxxx1 = 00000001

Doing this twice with four consecutive numbers then also cancels the remaining one. That also means that you do not have to use consecutive numbers, you can use two arbitrary pairs

2m ^ 2m + 1 ^ 2n ^ 2n + 1

and for example

16 ^ 17 ^ 42 ^ 43

should be zero.

yeah, this is a tricky area for us LoB enthusiasts: tailwinds is an example of LoB, but also I think sometimes it devolves into inlining implementation[1]. My gut reaction is to want a well named CSS class on the element instead, which feels like the equivalend of defining a function elswhere, but calling it on the element in question, thereby preserving LoB (to an extent)

On the other hand, I know a lot of very smart folks who like the tailwinds approach, and I do acknowledge the difficultly of naming CSS classes, that the function metaphor breaks down due to the fact that CSS classes have non-encapsulated effects on child elements, etc.

Interesting case to think about.

I have not invested time on locally-run, I'm curious if they could even get close to approaching the value of Sonnet4 or Opus.

That said, I suspect a lot of the value in Claude Code is hand-rolled fined-tuned heuristics built into the tool itself, not coming from the LLM. It does a lot of management of TODO lists, backtracking through failed paths, etc which look more like old-school symbolic AI than something the LLM is doing on its own.

Replicating that will also be required.

Of course they can! They just did right there. You don't have to accept their argument. You can be a heartless sycophant and reject it out-of-hand because their argument doesn't follow the rules of the very framework they are arguing against. That's your choice.

Progress is being made in both directions on this front. If you truly believe in the law, then argue for it. Considering the fact that the current POTUS is a convicted felon, and the supreme court has practically eliminated all checks on his power, I'll be taking arguments for lawlessness seriously.

1. I didn't say people can't have another opinion. I didn't say that because I don't believe it and never implied otherwise.

2. Supposing I did believe it and did say it, I would be well within my rights to say it. The First Ammendment assures the right to say things like that, no matter how dumb and misguided those things are.

> Meanwhile, I'm going to download the app right now. Thanks, Streisand effect!

You know they could be going for the Streisand effect. I'm sure there are plenty of people willing to add false incidents to reduce the effectiveness of the app. Nothing will get those people riled up like a court ruling in favor of the app. In the end, it could work to the administration's favor to have the app up and running. Nothing like acting all offended in public then celebrating privately as unnecessary fear and confusion sets in with false reports.

Many browsers today are privacy first and by default will block trackers. Except that one browser by the company whose business model is reliant on ads.

The pop up seems to be some kind of UX decision to protest laws around this. These sites can function well enough without them and I doubt anyone ever clicks the button that says, "Yes, I would like to maximize the amount of tracking you use on me."

I think games this are most fun when you play within the bounds of the rules (as written) and not consider them reality simulators (...magic...). Then you can approach the rules as merely constraints in which to optimize solutions to problems.

Of course as games like DnD are also a social affair, it's worth making sure everyone is having fun with something like this, otherwise what's the point?

I never could get into DnD because of the roleplaying. To me games are a set of rules which I view as a puzzle.

To hazard a guess: because Google et al think you're the kind of person who clicks that kind of source.

When I search for list of superpowers, I get superheroes — obviously nobody on Marvel or DC is going to be listed as having "Russia" as their superpower, but this does illustrate what it is that search engines do these days, and it's not objective truth.

After reading their blatant misinformation on Android support (https://www.iceblock.app/android, which makes no sense as explained in https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3lswujex4e22w), and seeing their refusal to publish the source code, I can't help but wonder if it's an honeypot.

Phew, I just read the story, not the blog post.

I found the writing pretty good, but there should be some plot point. Maybe "How Sam lost her job", or if we're going for 20th-century-style snobishness, something like "The perils of work-life balance", or "The superiority of the senses", whatever

I started to read the critique, and I disagree :D

- "She could tell from the particular way he moved around the counter, post-endorphins quiet"; blog asks for this line to be cut, I found it to be thoughtful and the most human line of the story / the one that best mimicked real prose

- My first critique bullet point would be the lack of any friction or resolve or internal consistency. So she missed her job, ignores calls and messages, they had .. bedroom time .. and went to the market. That's it??

What I found funny and very comparable to real stories was the delayed info in the first sentence. "Sam" is a gender-neutral abbreviation for "Samuel", "Samantha", and maybe others. So the reader is immediately prompted to think about the main character's gender, which is resolved in the next sentence.

This kind of trickery seems very common in real prose.

You're missing the elephant in the room that our society doesn't have enough distributed wealth to allow most people to pay for their own time off.

I too hate the top-down prescriptivism of narrow "benefit" policies administered by employers. But until we fix the economy so most people have the market power to tell their employer they're taking 3-6+ months off for $whatever, have the savings to pay for it, and be confident that that either their employer will want them back at the end or that they will be able to find a different employer, then it's what we're stuck with. So if you really want to reform this, then work towards fixing wealth inequality.

(The healthcare thing is a politically radioactive topic. It would be fantastic to prevent employers anticompetitively bundling healthcare with employment, but it would take a lot of political capital to rise above fearmongering to people with "good" employer plans and the desire of politicians to lean on the current system out of expedience)

(I'm the Couchers co-founder who wrote this blog post.)

Yes I agree, CouchSurfing.com went to shit through a slow process of enshittification that ended up looking like this. That's exactly why we founded Couchers.org when CouchSurfing.com put up a paywall (it was the last straw for us). We're trying to take what Couchsurfing was at its best and go further. We're solving these issues you're talking about with better moderation, better safety tools, and nudging users to behave in a way that's best for the community, etc.

I think it comes down to setting clear expectations and educating users about what it is and what it's not. We try to make it very clear and then enforce those rules very carefully. Once this happens, it's surprising how quickly the community roots out that behavior.

> I'm expecting to see so much more poor quality software being made. We're going to be swimming in an ocean of bad software.

That's my expectation as well.

The logical outcome of this is that the general public will eventually get fed up, and there will be an industry-wide crash, just like in 1983 and 2000. I suppose this is a requirement for any overly hyped technology to reach the Plateau of Productivity.

> The other is the seemingly strong conclusion that Ancient Egyptians did in fact move to Egypt from Mesopotamian which is pretty cool.

What strong conclusion? You "skim" the article and feel justified making outlandish politicized statements?

> They claim their own unique, uninterrupted, history and connection to the land as well as their civilizational independence from Mesopotamian, Asia Minor, Europe, and Africa.

As does everyone else and which is true for the most part. Does anyone dispute ancient egypt's civilizational status?

> While this might be a matter of ancient history and science to everyone

It isn't a matter of ancient history and science to everyone. Ancient history, science and archaelogy are political for everyone. Egyptology as a field was created by europeans partly to justify taking over egypt. It literally was part of european colonialism.

> It's also the same you rarely find Egyptian archeologists/scholars on scientific papers.

You find it odd that egyptians aren't too keen on egyptology?

> The "findings" of the paper has to agree with the narrative built and proposed by the ministry of antiquities or they will literally charge whoever publishes it with a national crime.

I highly doubt that. Maybe if the "study" undermines egypt's attempt to get their stolen antiquities back. But even then your claim seems outlandish.

Hi everyone, I made a chess website that helps you see the bigger picture of the consequences of every move you make while playing by showing a score that is calculated using Stockfish the strongest chess engine in the world.

Most chess websites will just show you the best move and nothing else, Chess Fish shows you the score for every move, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Blue is the best move, green are good moves, orange are mediocre moves and red are bad moves. Higher positive scores means you have the advantage. Lower negative scores means your opponent has the advantage.

Unfortunate for the spotters: they've been wrong about who they're seeing in the field. In this area, all of the Feds that have been seen have been DEA and HSI after suspects who are US citizens, not ICE enforcing immigration law. The spotters are historically not good at distinguishing Feds from each other, which makes the utility of this app a little questionable (unless you're just trying to avoid all police).

My guess, and it's just a guess, is that the ordered scale-back on ICE agricultural worker immigration enforcement took place before they got to this county. That said, I don't know why they haven't been here, just that they haven't.

Yes, that was indeed the gateway. Among others.

Though my ST only had 1MB of RAM and a floppy, no hard drive. On that I ran a UUCP node to get email and news for a while. And some unix-like shells (Mupfel, I believe was one? Gulam was another great one). I did use MiNT a bit but the whole GNU toolset was a bit big for a floppy system, and the multitasking was only somewhat useful. You could get a unix-like environment without going fully MiNT.

The big jump for me was having a 200MB HD in my 486 when I got it. Massive life change.

Commodore operations were very, very poor, too.

If they had been smarter with money, I'm sure they could have innovated in many many ways without giving up on backwards compatilibity. Sony put a PS1 inside the PS2. The Sony MSX2 contained an MSX1-on-a-chip.

Amiga could easily have had a PCI bus for external video chips.

And I'm not even going into the more crazy PS3-like ideas like "so, memory and bus speed are just a fraction of CPU speed? Ok, here are 32 parallel CPUs with their own chunk of the VDP bandwidth and their own local memory".

I am sure you've looked at this through a nuanced lens that examines the impact of colonialism on each of those tribes. I'm sure you've taken into account what's causing the deaths.

There's no way this is a dismissive colonially racist take without depth.

Longevity is not quality of life. This is still a culture that, despite all the modern world has done to these people, managed to survive 150k years. If longevity is what you're after, there's your longevity.

You're talking about averages, which ignores all the white supremacy embedded in these systems, ignores the decline of US lifespan, and especially ignores quality of life of those living in poverty.

From here on out, any further disingenuous comments get an AI response.

The features here (and listed below) are good features, but I wonder if this isn't just "different features". In the same time, has Organic Maps added different features that you don't have? Or have they made fewer features because developer energy has shifted to CoMaps?

I.e. is it that Organic Maps just have different priorities than you do? Or is it that Organic Maps have been holding back these good features for no good reason?

Yeah, it could be. But why would I want 5+ small 5 minute interruptions when I could have a single 20 minute interruption? Assuming all interruptions have a minimum of a 5+ minute context-switching time, the 20 minute meeting is 25 minutes whereas the 55 ends up being 510=50 minutes.

You can fix those aspects yourself in OpenStreetMap (OSM), with the result that once your updates flow into the routers/apps that use OSM (OsmAnd, maps.me, etc.) that those tools should stop attempting to route you over those roads.

So is the assumption that the jquery is in a different file than the html tag - if you wanted to get real crazy about it you could have the script tag immediately after the button tag - you could even inline the onclick behavior with no jquery or htmx required. How’s that for locality?

I guess the point is not so much that you could do those things, but that it was fairly common during ‘the jQuery days’ to do as the author describes.

Hopefully they will fix my biggest pet peeve with Organic Maps - jerky navigation movement (to the point of it being actively distracting and problematic in a car).

It happens because they don't apply any movement filters/momentum to the navigation, which means that the navigation marker jerks from one GPS update to the other and is constantly behind the actual location of the vehicle. Which makes it extremely easy to miss a turn.

The authors of Organic keep rejecting implementation of a filter/momentum (just like any other nav app) with "it's less accurate"... which is kind of ridiculous if you think about it.

> There is a hole in the ground where something between 100 billion and a trillion dollars in the ground that so far has about 20B in revenue (not profit) going into it annually.

This is a concern for me. I'm using claude-code daily and find it very useful, but I'm expecting the price to continue getting jacked up. I do want to support Anthropic, but they might eventually need to cross a price threshold where I bail. We'll see.

I expect at some point the more open models and tools will catch up when the expensive models like ChatGPT plateau (assuming they do plateau). Then we'll find out if these valuations measure up to reality.

Note to the Hypelords: It's not perfect. I need to read every change and intervene often enough. "Vibe coding" is nonsense as expected. It is definitely good though.

I was not a big Amiga user, but on the Atari ST we had a graphics abstraction API (VDI) from day one. Had the notion of a virtual device and drawing surface. All done through a proper syscall TRAP system, too. I am given to understand that the AmigaOS syscall API was in the form of JMPs.

So when the Falcon and TT Etc came along with full 16-bit 256 colour SVGA-like graphics, anything properly written GUI "just worked"

Games and the like, yes, had to fall back to a video compat mode.

For what it's worth, there are plenty of tables that focus a lot less on plot & roleplaying, and more on the combat & puzzle aspect. There are even whole RPGs that are effectively dungeon crawls, where your characters don't need much of a personality, and are often explicitly disposable.

D&D may not be for you, but I bet there's a RPG out there that is!
