Hi! I've been a software engineer for around 7 years. I have experience with both front-end (mostly React), as well as back-end (mainly Python) and I'd be happy to work on either side of the stack (or both) as well as learning new things. The most important thing to me is to create a positive experience for my users.

I also like contributing to free & open-source software. Most of it is available in my GitHub profile: https://github.com/MarcAbonce

Not to mention, missionaries are exploitative. They're trying to harvest souls for God or (failing the appearance of God to accept their bounty) to expand the influence of their earthbound church.

The end result of missionary activity is often something like https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/feb/25/us-evang... .

Bottom line, "But... but I'm like a missionary!" isn't my go-to argument when I'm trying to convince people that my own motives are purer than my rival's.

Non-Newtonian drives have to prove they work outside the influences of a laboratory, if they work in low earth orbit, they should work anywhere. The Semi-Major Axis Altitude (SMAA) is a great proxy for orbital energy, and if they can make that number go way up, we should all take note, and start looking for new physics.

I'm not really familiar with accounting in English but is it really a liability in double-entry accounting? Wouldn't generating money basically be income? So if you sell $1000 worth of stuff, you credit the sales account for $1000 and debit your cash/bank account for $1000, and the account's basically a bottomless pit where you can draw as long as you're generating income.

> it loosely means that it must be 'easy' for most people to get from point A to point B

OK. Drop 10 random points in a city and then map routes between them using transit, cars, and bikes. You'll find that cars are around 3 times _faster_ than anything else on average. Even in dense cities. I'm going to call this "Cyberax's constant"!

> Ideally it must must be accessible for all people (so teens without a licenses, legally blind people, or anyone without the means to get a car etc).

This means that bikes are right out, they're horribly anti-human. And transit is barely OK.

> From a non-transportation context (just adding, not very relevant to the answer), places with no loud traffic noise and just a nice general atmosphere of people around.

So, EVs are perfect? They are quieter than buses.

> No one is being forced.

People are. By economic forces. Japan is a GREAT cautiounary tale here.

> If anything, these measures only makes the cities with high urban density more livable for people.

No, they make it more inescapable.

> It would be even more dystopian if Tokyo didn't have a great metro and people had to wait in traffic for hours.

Wrong. A Tokyo without transit wouldn't have become so dense.

> I also feel like you're arguing just for the argument's sake. If not, we probably have fundamentally different views on what's 'better' and I don't think any amount of convincing will change either of our minds.

You simply have never thought about the _effects_ of urbanism. Go on, think about it and actually investigate your assumptions.

I got my driving license at the age of 27 and I lived in multiple dense cities.

I feel there must be a middle ground here. It's similar to free food. Giving food to anyone does not entitle them to more food in the future. They are not entitled to complain free food is not up to their standards or demand changes.

But they are entitled to not being poisoned. Basic sanitation is still required. You should remove free food from the public once it's rotting.

Il be honest I loved AI-studio - it felt like almost unlimited quota. With CLI it is unbeleivablly slow even for simple tasks (compared to claude code) and the "free" seems to be a totally deceptive marketing. Even with an API key (on the free tier) I am no way close to getting the promised free 60 requests a minute worth of usage that was promised and still am getting rate limited. What gives?

> But landing somewhere, installing a new flag and government and pushing people out of their land through force is completely out of line.

Nobody is debating that.

Not sure if you can read, so I’ll reiterate - the debate here is the willingness of people to use sweeping and discriminatory terminology to categorise all the different types of Jew's as being “non-native” which is categorically false and frankly offensive.

Nope AGI is not the end goal - https://blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-singularity

> OpenAI is a lot of things now, but before anything else, we are a superintelligence research company.

IMO, AGI is already a very nebulous term. Superintelligence seems even more hand-wavy. It might be useful to define and understand limits of "intelligence" first.

That's super cool, I love the SciShow videos.

I think you're right about the editorial thinking + what do people find interesting parts. But that doesn't have to be solved by directly by AI, it's easy enough to sidestep the problem and provide a nice interface for the human-in-the-loop part. I'd imagine that would save you a ton of time by having a nice starting point depending on how much you have to rewrite for tone.

I think I saw this cube back in the day, or one like it. I worked at a place called Coin Wrap and we handled sorting and wrapping money for banks, and also wrapped the Sacagawea coins when they came out. One of the trucks came through and had to offload this large cube of money they told us contained 1 million in dollar bills, so they could offload the pallets of coins behind it. I've told people about it but had not seen a picture or knew it was in the Chicago Fed building.

> The expectation is that we're always connected and respond quickly

As someone who twenty years ago published his XMPP presence to his web page (http://serendipity.ruwenzori.net/index.php/2006/02/27/jabber...) among other oversharing excesses, I have now swung opposite: online presence indicator is the first functionality I disable when I join any sort of forum and my tablet is almost always silent... Asynchronous interrupts least and unbroken concentration is most valuable, so asynchronous mostly - with exceptions for eligible professional contacts and sentimentally close people.

Hey I'm on of the devs; No, the code is not by AI: the current compiler and , corelib's code, the thought process and language design is all human, AI would produce slop in that case, however, English isn't our first language, so things like README's, Docs and such, had the following process, we wrote an initial draft, with broken English not cohesive at all - but, the content is factual, then sent it to ChatGPT to improve it, did it use buzzwords and such - yes, but at the time, with our level of English it did seem really good, looking back now it does seem really bad, but Commit messages are done using GitLens Commit Message Generator - simply because I was too lazy to write each and every commit message, Moving forward, We have already started to rewrite the README and the Docs, by hand, we will first commit that, then do a revision with AI, while maintaining the tone and formality, only improving grammar and punctuation. AI is a really good tool when it comes to improving English and communication, however I do stand with the fact code should NOT be written by AI.

Prosecutors do that all the time. Basically nobody dies of it. I'd humbly propose there were unfortunate mitigating circumstances in Mr Swartz's situation that made it unusual. When a person with AIDS dies, did the AIDS kill them or the pneumonia a regular body would have fought off? When a person with deep mental illness commits suicide, did the circumstances of their life kill them or did they succumb to a deep mental illness?

Perhaps we could craft a way to hold people with mental health issue to the same standards we are all held to while simultaneously being more sensitive to their needs. But in general, his story is an unfortunate tragedy of a sick person who took their own life under a stress that doesn't kill most other people, and we adjust the way we prosecute crime at our own peril. It is, as I said elsewhere, the mother of all Chesterton's Fences. Which is not to say it cannot or should not be improved! Only that it be done with great care.

And to be completely clear: Swartz ripped content via back-dooring a secured network physically, in a closet, and (it is alleged) planned to dump that content in public. We'll never really know since he (or his illness) denied himself his day in court, and that's a tragedy; he may have successfully defended himself, or could have been a living example of persevering anyway like Mitnick instead of a martyr. Companies using their authorized accounts to scrape Google are likely at most guilty of a TOS violation and Google may choose to cut their accounts, but it's very hard to make a case that the Google API saying, over and over again, "Yes you may view that video" constitutes either unauthorized access or exceeding the bounds of access under 9-48.000.

It's hard to comment on whether Swartz violated the CFAA. Since he wasn't tried, we'll never really know. He exited life before justice could happen one way or the other.

Hey nice - this stuff is so much fun to me. I've worked a number of experiments like this too, especially related to live coding. Love seeing it in the wild.

I built a small project where you can live-code Love2D. The running program updates in real time (no saving needed) and see all values update in real-time, via LSP.

https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/livelove

And also added the same kind of interactivity like a number slider and color picker that replace text inline, like yours (though via vs code extension: https://gist.github.com/jasonjmcghee/17a404bbf15918fda29cf69...)

Here's another experiment where I made it so you could "drag and drop" to choose a position for something by manipulating the editor / replacing a computed position with a static one, on keypress.

I was surprised there were no references to past nuclear (fission) efforts, including a long test (more than 12.5 minutes) at 4000 megawatts of Pheobus 2A.[1]

Perhaps there are some solid or non-cryogenic liquid fuels that could take place of the liquid hydrogen and make fission based systems far more feasible in the near term.

Missionary (from wikipedia):

A missionary is a member of a religious group who is sent into an area in order to promote its faith or provide services to people, such as education, literacy, social justice, health care, and economic development. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary

Post coup, they are both for-profit entities.

So the difference seems to be that when meta releases its models (like bibles), it is promoting its faith more openly than openai, which interposes itself as an intermediary.

> the relational part of the relational model is attributes or column names

The relational part is defined, most importantly, by the set. That was key to Codd's model, and the source of his primary criticism of SQL.

But his ideas went out of fashion long ago. Postgres, pre-1995, was the last time we saw a relational database anyone heard of. Sure, there have been some esoteric attempts more recently to revive the concept, but they never went anywhere. For all intents and purposes the relational model is dead. We live in a tablational world now.

> it is equivalent.

It is not, though. In fact, I posit that lists/multisets are easier to reason about, at least where one doesn't have a strong mathematical understanding (i.e. the layman), and that is why SQL "won". A list, if carefully constrained, can represent a set — which is maybe what you are struggling to suggest — but that does not make it a set.

We didn't create this code base ourselves, we are just working with it. I'd assume the original developers payed attention to compile times during development and introduced forward declarations whenever things got out of hand.

My computer is fast, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, code is stored on an NVMe SSD. But there certainly are projects with fewer lines of code that take substantially longer to compile.

Happy to see another year!

I think it'd be nice if the rest of the shims were dropped too. "1024 bytes of JavaScript. No libraries. No frameworks. Just raw code". Year by year it's getting easier to do more in the same amount of bytes. Last year's 1st place winner was a plain HTML entry which implemented its own canvas. 8 of all 148 entries 2020-2024 have used the shader shim, fewer than used the deprecated p5js shim in 2020. The categories/category winners are cool but it should be based on what approach was used rather than which framework they started with. E.g. "Sand and Water" is the "js winner" solely because it used the shim and "Splash Dash" didn't but really Splash Dash won both overall and won the js canvas category too, it just did it without the free bytes from the canvas framework.

I am currently working as a software engineer for a large web hosting company. I'd like to change roles to work somewhere I can learn more and work remotely full-time. I'd really appreciate a team that values simplicity. When writing HTTP APIs in Golang, I'd like to be able to use just the standard lib, instead of a Perl compiler that transforms a set of YAML files into a gargantuan caricature of an enterprise Java web server.

I am an excellent communicator, that is probably my greatest strength. I'm curious, I'm honest, and I'm kind. My favorite feedback from a manager that I've gotten is that I get along with everyone. I greatly appreciate logical rigor, and make a sincere effort to regularly examine my beliefs, in order to discard useless or false ones. I have a solid mathematical background - my undergrad and master's were both in mathematics, with a specialization in theoratical computer science and discrete math, and I regularly practice maths, often with friends, for the fun of it. I love software. If you want some examples of my latest work, I encourage you to go look at my codeberg account:

If you think you might enjoy working with me, I'd love to hear from you.

>>Only if the simulations are usefully predictive.

Of course; if you cannot make your simulations produce realistic output you are either wasting your time or are clearly not yet done building your simulations.

>> A lot of the physical lab tests end up showing effects we did not know exist, which is why they are interesting - simulations are historically terrible at predicting things we don’t know can exist.

Of course, there are the lab surprises, discovery of penicillin an early famous one. I'm absolutely not saying supercomputing simulation should replace lab work — In my own shop I do lab testing well beyond where most would go to simulation, precisely because there's no substitute for seeing the physical side-effects. But when someone randomly claims the team publishing very useful work is somehow wrong to use simulation, I think the real researchers in their lab & at their terminals know better than that post.

I agree with you in general, but recipes are not a case where precision matters. I sometimes ask LLMs to give me a recipe and if it hallucinates something it will simply be taste bad. Not much different from a human-written recipe where the human has drastically different tastes than I do. Also you basically never apply the recipe blindly; you have intuition from years of cooking to know you need to adjust recipes to taste.

Ultimately, I am addressing the original point that was made:

>I think the more correct statement is that there are different models of ZFC in which BB(748) are different numbers.

You asked how this was possible and that's the specific question that I am addressing. As I mentioned elsewhere, to fully appreciate this answer requires parsing some very subtle and nuanced details that simply can not be glossed over or dismissed, if you genuinely want to know how it's possible that ZFC can be consistent even though different models give different values of BB(748).

If you want to argue something else, about what model is correct or what model is incorrect, that's a perfectly fine argument to have but it's more in the realm of philosophy than it is in the realm of formal mathematics.

I did a cross-country account migration for ImprovMX in January 2025.

It was a total nightmare, and definitely the vast majority of the acquisition migration work.

We ended up with a scheme where each customer was migrated over, as a "trial" account until it converted over to a regular paid subscription on the next subscription renewal time.

I wonder how you guys handle that.

We did see some similar services out there, but we didn't deem them high quality and trustworthy. It's kind of hard to build a reputation around a service you only use once. If our acquisition broker had said "use stripemove.com, we've done it many times, they're great", we probably would have forked over the cash immediately.

Consider reaching out to saas acquisition brokers!

Show HN: Monorail – Turn CSS animations into interactive SVG graphs
by stankot | 2025-07-01 20:39:39+00:00
Hey HN,

I needed a few simple graphs for a blog post [0]. Instead of slapping together a few SVGs and moving on, I decided to write a whole library to parse CSS keyframe animations and convert them to interactive graphs.

It ended up being a rabbit hole, with a lot of caveats. But it was fun to make, and I'm really happy with the graphs it produces.

I'm not sure how useful it will be for others. If you end up using it, I'd love to see how - feel free to reach out.

It's open source [1] under the MIT license. Written in TypeScript with no dependencies.

It's gotten outright infuriating that people keep blaming government for bad initiatives that are solely the fault of Republicans.

Getting real tired of people blaming "both sides" for everything bad the government does as if it's some sort of morally or intellectually superior viewpoint. It's a thought-ending cliche.

Sure, both sides are drone-striking warmongers. Both sides are basically owned by corporations.

But only one side is welcoming literal flag-waving Nazis into their midst and working to deport legal citizens and immigrants. Only one side is fighting to take food away from children in schools. Only one side is trying to take healthcare away from senior citizens. Only one side is trying to create a Christian white ethno-state.

People try to accuse the left of trying to stifle freedom-of-speech, yet Trump is the one spreading rhetoric about wanting to jail journalists for daring to speak up against him.
