Regarding your proposal:

I would love to see cross browser support for forms encoded as application/json instead of url encoded. Additionally making name attributes in forms a query path selector to be able to nest JSON data structures would go a very long way.

Regarding web components and htmx: I kind of disagree with the server sided rendering approach there because I believe in local first web apps that use JSON or other data formats to communicate, but I'm pretty stubborn like that.

Don't have much to prove it yet, but I'm working on gooey, my bindings and components library for WebASM. Hopefully I'll get there in the next months, though Go has a couple of limitations due to how the type system works.

This reminds me of a friend of mine from my 20s. Every time I went by where he lived, which was the house we all hung out at, so this was 3-7 times a week, he'd say "Hi G, want a beer?" "No, I don't drink," I'd reply. "Really?" he'd ask. "No, Craig, not ever." And he'd hesitate a second and then say, "Whoa."

This went on for months.

Finally I asked him if he really didn't understand that I had never had, and never would have, any alcohol. My father was an alcoholic -- everyone in our crowd knew, and knew how I handled the situation. Craig replied, "Yeah, I just figure maybe someday you'll want to try it, so I ask to be nice."

Agreed - Plenty of hitters have experience with it as well, since it's been around the minors for even longer than this season.

I saw it in practice a few times this year during spring training games, and it was _fast_. Add to that the fact that only pitchers, catchers, and hitters can request one (no managers holding the game up while the replay room checks on it), and it really won't slow the game down at all.

We're talking about different things here. In the linked article, Anna never accepts the invitation, nor does she propose alternatives. It's OK for someone to intiate contact more often than others, as long as the counterparty actually accepts the invitation every so often (or picks up the phone or chats or responds positively). That's not the case with Anna, who repeatedly says "nah" in the face of consistent kindness and consideration.

> Life is not a game where people build up points with you and you start to be kind to them only if they maintain themselves above a threshold.

Be careful. It is trivial for others to take advantage of such selfless kindness. Ingratitude is common, as is sociopathy. Altruists often discover that the world does not reciprocate.

The phrasing here is strange - whats the difference between a pressure campaign and me telling my friends?

What if I have a lot of friends? Is it now a pressure campaign?

What makes something telling the truth, and what makes something a campaign?

And, why do people so thoroughly fear the truth being told about them? Is that shame, or something else?

If you wish privacy, as we all do often, then stay private. Its easy and free.

But when your opinion is posted online and you willingly tie it to your real life identity, you cannot get canceled. No, in my mind, it's impossible.

You may cancel yourself. But people simply repeating your own words back to you is not a campaign, it's just a reminder of reality and truth.

Whenever I see such claims, it becomes obvious how philosophically and intellectually incompetent we are.

There are several notions that aren’t examined, which stands in the way of having a sensible conversation about the question.

1. The definition of computation.

2. The definition of life.

3. The difference between the real order and the logical and epistemic orders.

Searle famously pointed out that computation is observer-relative. Sure, we can establish some kind of abstracted correspondence between a computing formalism and a natural process, and this correspondence can be fun or even a useful metaphor, but it is senseless to ask whether life is computation. Objectively, without an observer, there is no computation going on. In fact, even your computer is not objectively speaking computing.

You can effectively draw this correspondence with anything (Seth Lloyd did this with quantum mechanics), and if everything is computation, then nothing is. It becomes a synonym for all of reality.

I find the search through a file actually makes sense.

If you don't know, you can send the log to a file, and open that file to look through it. More powerful than just a search next, as you can have instance counts, search with regexp and all the bells and whistles and it virtually stops the logging.

At first I thought the same as you, now I've become quite partial to this concept. I hope they don't remove this.

So, another `Option<T>`-like?

I'm not sure I'm following with the article, I don't think there's much of a problem treating `java.util.Optional` as a `Maybe`-like.

Regardless of "monad" label, it does work ok at modelling a container with [0..1] element and provides `Functor` fmap + `Monad` bind to operate the values.

Looking at `Omittable` APIs, I don't think there's much difference with the latest `java.util.Optional`? Why should I pick `Omittable` over standard library `Optional` then?

Personally, I roll my own "header-only"-style `Nilable<T>` on personal repo. I like to merge `orElse` and `orElseGet` into a single overloaded `orElse`, turning it to bare `null` resistant due to deliberate ambiguous method resolution.

Curiously none of 3rd party `Option`-like JVM libraries have this behavior, so I had to make it myself.

Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) had part of his studio recreated in the modern art Gallery in Edinburgh.

* https://www.nationalgalleries.org/exhibition/paolozzi-studio

Margaret Olley (1923-2011) had part of her studio recreated in the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre, Murwillumbah.

* https://gallery.tweed.nsw.gov.au/visit/margaret-olley-art-ce...

Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) has most of her studio converted to a museum but with works in progress in plaster and stone workshops left as-is in situ at the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives, Cornwall.

* https://wearecornwall.com/listings/barbara-hepworth-museum-a...

From memory they share one thing: They're pretty messy. Margaret Olley's is maybe the worst, she kept still life tableaux for decades, painted them many times. It's nice to see the work reflected on the wall and see the still life as-is.

> I think in most countries you're more likely to get polio from a polio vaccine than in the wild. On the one hand, that is a success of the polio vaccine. On the other hand, the vaccine is clearly dangerous and liable to cause chronic health problems.

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_eradication#2025 I count 2 countries with the will type and 17 with the vaccine derived type (and like 160 without polio!)

There are two vaccines, the oral that has attenuated ("live") virus and the inyectable that has inactivated ("dead") virus.

* The oral version is not dangerous for the person that recibes it [1], but the virus can pass to other persons and after a few hops mutate to the dangerous version. The advantage is that the immunity is stronger and it also stops transmission.

* The inject able version is also not dangerous [1], it doesn't stop transmission, but it also can't mutate because the virus is totally dead.

Most fist word countries, and many other countries with no recent case use only the inyectable version. (Here in Argentina, we switched to only inyectable like 5 years ago :) .)

Countries with recent case of other problems use a mix, to reduce transmission. (I think the inyectable one is also cheaper and easier to store.) (Also, a few years ago they dropped globally one of the strains from the oral one, because that strains is eradicated. The inyectable one has that strains just in case, but it can't escape.)

[1] except potencial allergic reactions, that are rare, but I also remember big signs with instructions for the nurse explaining in case of an emergency what to do, what to inject, where to call ... The risk is not 0, but very low. I wonder if the trip to the hospital to get the vaccine is more dangerous.

No way, whatever the sim hardware cost is and the sim service per month for the carrier.

NYC is just high density, remember cell means cellular so the towers are configured for high traffic and more fall back, also being easy to go around in general, airports etc

Esims go for $5-10 a month. Hardware is less than 20k max. Apartment and general utilities are a sunk cost.

> It bumps up the debounce for next time

...

> But when things are smooth for a while, the debounce comes back down

it sounds like he's just incrementing a variable in the first case and using timers to decrement it in the second case. that's a bad implementation. the correct implementation here is an envelope follower, or maybe-perhaps a kalman filter. OP's implementation will exhibit motorboating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorboating_(electronics)

Reminds me of Wolfram's "Principle of Computational Equivalence"[1].

1. Things in nature have a maximum complexity which is like computation 2. Most things get this complicated 3. Therefore most things are "computationally equivalent" 4. "For example, the workings of the human brain or the evolution of weather systems can, in principle, compute the same things as a computer. "

The leap between things being in an equivalence class according to some relation and being "in principle, the same" might present difficulty if you've done any basic set theory, but that's just because you lack vision.

Excellent work. It would be great to have this in my city. Parking cops can't be everywhere at once.

Generally I don't bother paying for public parking and just risk the fine unless I know i'm in an area with a lot of parking officers (i.e. my local CBD), I find I actually save more money this way.

Some charges are insane, like $10 per hour to park near the beach in a richy rich suburb - unless you are one of the local wealthy residents, then its free.

Perhaps this could be combined with some kind of SMS alerts, i.e. if I park at a location I can be alerted if a fine is issued?

> Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform.

This is a huge nitpick but I wish they'd just say "other Linux distros" instead of the "Linux platform". It's fine to pick and choose one (or a few) popular distro(s) to support, like SteamOS. It's not reasonable to expect support for all possible Linux software environments. It's already crazy that they support so many hardware combinations, even on just Windows.

I can’t comment on the decisions people made in this case, I was taking up GP’s musings on who we should let have what opinions in general.

I guess I would say that withdrawing funding from an organization based on who they let speak at an event seems like an overreaction given that it had these ramifications, but I don’t think it’s my place to judge what anyone chooses to contribute their own money to. None of the rest of us is contributing $250k to Ruby Central either, and we’re not entitled to have Mike solve our problems.

Sorry, I only grabbed part of the quote. Here is it paraphrased as the names are not that familiar to me.

"Shouldn't they(Facebook and Twitter) be liable for publishing that information and then open to lawsuits?" - MSNBC "Certainly, they should be held accountable, You've heard the president speak very aggressively about this. He understands this is an important piece of the ecosystem." - White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield

Source: https://reason.com/2023/01/19/how-the-cdc-became-the-speech-...

So yes, MSNBC brought up Section 230 and the White House Communications Director says "Yes, we are looking to hold social media accountable."

>Also from the same source: The Twitter moderators believed the meeting had gone well, but noted in a private Slack discussion that they had fielded "one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn't been kicked off from the platform."

>Throughout 2020 and 2021, Berenson had remained in contact with Twitter executives and received assurances from them that the platform respected public debate. These conversations gave Berenson no reason to think his account was at risk. But four hours after Biden accused social media companies of killing people, Twitter suspended Berenson's account.

I don't care about Trump's feelings but if we want to be able to speak truth to power, we have to be willing to let people talk shit as well. Yes, COVID has real world implications. Almost everything does.

People on the left say "Think about the children and implications with regard to this." People on the right say "Think about the children and implications with regard to that."

Notice how none of them seem to be saying "Let's lay out the facts and let you think about it."

Social media and lack of scientific research literacy is going to eventually prove to be fatal for modern society, even with this Tylenol thing, I have on one side people that believe a study blindly without reading that it's not taking into consideration several important variables and more studies are needed, and on the other hand I have people that did not read at all the study saying that it's impossible Tylenol could be causing anything because it is the only pain med pregnant women can take... clear non understanding of how controlled trials work...

Same thing with the UFO "Alien" video that was "shot down" by a hellfire missile (most likely a balloon), people just automatically assume that because it was said in congress it has to be true, zero analysis whatsoever of the footage or wanting to seek analysis by an expert, nope, it must be an alien.

There is so much misinformation, so much lack of understanding, and so many people, from every side that just have complete and utter lack of understanding of how seemingly basic things work, I am afraid for the future.

But yeah! let's unban unscientific sources, oh and people who are okay with a literal coup on a democracy.

From the readme:

[1, 2, 3] * 10 // [10, 20, 30] (because [1 * 10 = 10, 2 * 10 = 20, 3 * 10 = 30]) [4, 5, 6] > 3 // true (because [4 > 3 = true, 5 > 3 = true, 6 > 3 = true], so the condition is true for all elements)

I guess most people would have expected that second expression to return

[true, true, true]

Is this really more practical to single out booleans like that, compared to having a separate step for ANDing?

At around the age of two my son became totally obsessed with construction equipment. We would pull over and let him watch excavators and skid steers work at local job sites. Luckily there are some good youtube channels that cater to this which made it much easier to scratch his itch. He still loves heavy machinery, but at the age of 5 it’s a lot more mellow.

No liquid glass? Weren't crowds surrounding the Apple spaceship demanding it?

As an optics person, I just have to chortle every time I hear that.

If glass has any liquidity after cooling, it's unobservable [0] (Note, it deforms, but that's not liquidity.)

> Window glass at room temperature has a nearly incalculable relaxation time, approaching the age of the universe itself.

More on point, Apple does drive me crazy when it changes things. The level of "How the hell do I do this?" is off scale. That used to be RTFM, when there were manuals and geeks who read them. I just found the color picker in Preview app. Features are like Easter Eggs, when so many are crammed into an app's window.

It feels like every app other than Preview app has a floating font/style menu. To change the font size, color, etc., you have to pull it down repeatedly. .... Oh well .....

I use it to do quick image hacks, rather than fire up GIMP. (did someone change the default behavior of layers in GIMP? I used to just edit stuff, and then had to merge down every time, until I (ta-da) found the layers window (in the Windows menu)) Oh well ...

Crazy pitch: Engineers on the job hunt: pivot, become recruiter make $200k-$300k
by Shooogur | 2025-09-24 03:21:55+00:00
I run a Venture Fund backed by talent leaders. Over the last 9 months working with founders at the bleeding edge and the VC that back them it's become increasingly clear that the standard recruiter isn't cutting it.

They want people that understand the technology, that can assess someones technical chops on the fly, that can use N8N to spin up an agent, that can create talent ecosystems, that have an existing rolodex of talented engineers in their back pocket. Standard comp package for this person: $200k-$300k TC.

So here's the pitch: my fund is going to run 1 beta cohort/accelerator for software engineers who want to learn how to recruit and break into talent.

In this 90 day cohort you'll learn from the best to ever do it, 250 talent leaders that have scaled/exited pretty much every unicorn in the last two decades. You will learn everything from sourcing, to tooling, stakeholder management, and compensation. We'll not only teach you how to recruit we'll also help you find your next gig.

In the decade+ I've been in this career, want to know how many engineers I've met who run talent functions? Just one, and it's the guy that runs all of OpenAI's recruiting. Want to be a unicorn? Want to stand out in the ocean of job seekers? Be something new.

Memes -> AKs (esp. as brandished by Afghans/Nepalese etc)

Tapeworms: too little intentionality. Memes can be enjoyed, admired, zeroed, maintained, in the field. But they don't have to be.

Moreso than analogies, better tools needed (PC with the "autonomy" of memes?)

I didn't want to be the one to have to say it, but neither masks nor social distancing had any scientific backing at all. It was all made up, completely made up. The saddest thing I see all the time is the poor souls STILL wearing masks in 2025 for no reason. I don't care how immunocompromised they are, the mask isn't doing anything to prevent viral infection at all. They might help against pollen. I also can't believe how many doctors and nurses at my wife's cancer clinic wear masks all the damn time even though they are not in a surgical enviornment. It's all been foisted upon them by the management of those clinics and the management is completely insane and nobody speaks up about it because it's their job if they do, so the isanity just keeps rolling on and on and it is utterly dehumanizing and demoralizing. If a cancer patient wants to wear a mask because it affords them some tiny comfort, then fine, but that is purely psychological. I've seen it over and over and over because I've been at numerous hospitals this past year trying to help my wife survive a cancer that I think Pfizer may be to blame for.

There are a lot of breaks and mistakes in my concrete foundation. And I poured about 300 bags of quikrete, mixed one by one, eyeballed with water in a portable electric mixer -- would probably give a civil engineer a heart attack. Fortunately there is no frost heave and rarely freezes, so im mostly relying on just having enough compressive strength which has about a 100x safety factor on my wood frame.

The breaks are tied together with rebar, the mistakes on top were mortared level when starting my run of blocks for the foundation. Got pretty much perfectly level by last run of blocks.

Ghetto? Maybe, but a civil engineer friend said he did cold joints same as I, and the house has held up so far....
