My 7 year old son just recently got a few keychain ones as birthday party favors bag gifts. Basically one of the lowest form of toy for fashion, but very good for consistency in sales. He’s also rolling his eyes at anything “6 7” related after a month or two of leaning in hard on it, the parents ruined that one I think.

Fundamentally this is not a statement about programming or software. It is a statement that management at almost all companies is abysmally inept and are hardly ever held to account.

Most sizeable software projects require understanding, in detail, what is needed by the business, what is essential and what is not, and whether any of that is changing over the lifetime of the project. I don't think I've ever been on a project where any of that was known, it was all guess work.

When there is no clear canonical way of implementing something, adding it to a programming language (or a standard library) is risky. All too often, you realize too late that you made a wrong choice, and then you add a second version. And a third. And so on. And then you end up with a confusing language full of newbie traps.

Graphs are a good example, as they are a large family of related structures. For example, are the edges undirected, directed, or something more exotic? Do the nodes/edges have identifiers and/or labels? Are all nodes/edges of the same type, or are there multiple types? Can you have duplicate edges between the same nodes? Does that depend on the types of the nodes/edges, or on the labels?

The report especially highlights data as being most hit.

Indeed, during pandemic data field sort of matured. Modern data stack emerged. No one knew what they were doing and it was extremely over hired for.

In addition, I highly doubt LLMs have a significant effect on data teams as their main jobs aren’t writing code.

LLMs are still very unreliable at converting language to SQL. I believe the best benchmark was merely at around 70%. Who in their right mind can trust this level of accuracy?

> This part seems all over the place. Firstly, why would an individual do something he/she has no expectation to benefit from or control in any way? Why would he/she cast away his/her agency for unpredictable outcomes and exposure to unnecessary and unconstrained risk?

It happens all the time. People sacrifice anything, everything, for no gain, all the time. It's called love. When you give everything for your family, your loved ones, your beliefs. It's what makes us human rather than calculating machines.

This summer I walked main Newbury street (one of main shopping street in Boston) and parked on it was a sweet, sweet looking brand new McLaren (had to go on their web site to identify from my picture, I think it was an Artura Spider) in a very classy matte-black paint, with custom license plates saying LABUBU. A very incongruous combination between what that car is and the plates it was sporting. I did not observe a labubu hanging on the rear view mirror which I expected should have been present.

> At this point I've seen those corridors so often I'm tired of them.

Heh, I can't get enough of them; it's a great visual design template to work from. And visual consistency of properties within a diegetic timeframe has to be taken into account, even if the newer entries' writers' rooms could profit from better talent...

That said, Alien: Isolation is still the best modern infusion into that universe, and one of the best games in my lifetime.

I think this speaks more to using the trending TikToks of the world as a gauge for what is popular. It’s not a great gauge. Just because the trend there is waning, IRL this toy/brand has a huge opportunity to stick around for awhile. It’s still selling plenty, has a platform to do more, etc. Just because people aren’t posting it, or because the algorithm isn’t surfacing those posts, doesn’t mean the trend is dead.

depriving?

the creators are posting their content on a free platform, with hopes that it will generate enough views so that enough of those viewers are ad watching viewers so that they will gain revenue. you're acting like the view is 100% meaningless and ONLY a bad thing, and its quite the opposite.

the "free" view costs the creator literally nothing, and it gains them an additional view, if its a good video its potentially gonna help spread the video elsewhere where maybe they can find some suckers to mindlessly consume ads.

and lets be real, the platform you are "depriving of revenue" is google... they operated ad free to create massive market capture to create the current monstrosity that is youtube in 2025, think they can't cut off all users that block ads right now? there is a reason they aren't doing so.

It feels like the article doesn’t really say anything. The popularity of Labubu is something worth analyzing, and many similar phenomena have existed in the past or will appear in the future. But Labubu also has its unique aspects; it’s just that the article’s author wasn’t capable of properly studying what makes Labubu distinctive.

I only have some vague ideas, not enough to write an article. But if you want to write an analysis, it’s best to come up with something new.

And you don't think, "hey this is a learning opportunity for them, I can teach them the value of minding their own business, not judging people based on how they look, not making assumptions about people based on what I see" ?

I don't like "good first issues" If it's simple enough to be the first, I'd fix it in less time than writing an explanation of the problem.

Anyway, when someone makes a post about a typo in the docs or error message of Racket, or something that can be solved editing one or two files, I like to post something like:

> Nice report. The error is in the file [whatever]. Do you want to fix it and send a pull request? Otherwise we can fix it.

Some people want to contribute and are happy with that. It's a good first step. They may send something more complicated later. Or just be happy to have a commit merged. (Anyway, good bugs reports are very useful, even if the submitter does not fix it.)

As a general recommendation, start with tiny changes. Fixing typos is good because they must be fixed. For features, it's better let's say up to 6 hours of work. You never know if they are going to merge it, so it's better to waste few time. Later, once you have a few contributions try longer tasks.

Honestly these things are not the biggest worry.

You can use a pretty standard config. You are likely not going to be writing pages of code and for prose there are better things on a phone than the keyboard. You can get pretty far though github searching Emacs lisp files with android in the text.

More interesting is dealing with androids permissions. The original article mentions this and I have some notes here. https://gsilvers.github.io/me/posts/20250921-emacs-on-androi...

> From what you tell us, binding arbitration sounds like the actual problem. Not the insurer and provider being the same company.

No, the actual problem is that the insurer and provider want to screw over the paying customer. Binding arbitration is just one convenient method they've taken advantage of to accomplish that. Getting rid of binding arbitration is still a good idea, but you can bet they'll find some other way to screw over their customers because they clearly care more about profit than people. The actual solution would be to reform the healthcare system so that its goal is focused more on healing people than stuffing pockets with cash and so companies that only care about money are forced out of it entirely.

Since it's unlikely that anyone with the power to fix the deeply broken healthcare system will do it any time soon, the least people can do is avoid this insurer and healthcare provider since they've demonstrated themselves to be hostile to their own paying customers.

I don't know if it's the abundance of stock photos in the set or the training, but the 'hypertune' default look of AI photos drives me crazy. Things are super smooth, the colors pop wildly, the depth of field is really shallow, everything is overly posed, details far too sharp, etc. Vaguely reminds me of the weird skin-crawler filter levels used by people like mr beast.

I think it is the fine tuning, because you can find AI photos that look more like real ones. I guess people prefer obviously fake looking 'picturesque' photos to more realistic ones? Maybe it's just because the money is in selling to people generating marketing materials? NB is clearly the only model here which permits a half eaten burrito to actually appear to have been bitten.

I mean if you writing joe slop tax softare you can use whatever mixin decorator singleton factory performance be damned, slop doesn't need performance, in fact, is frowned upon in slop developers as too showy and flashy, puts people off.

Now if you're say writing a high performance game, rendering engine, then maybe you want to squeeze out another 10 frames per second (FPS) but not committing resources to the overhead of that mixin decorator singleton factory facade messenger design pattern and just have some concrete tight C or assembly loop at the beating heart of it all

Kind of strange take as though unique to software. Every sector that is large has issues since ambitious projects stretch what can be done by the current management and organizational practices. All software articles like these hark back to some mythical world smaller in scope/ambition/requirements. Humanity moves forward

* Construction and Engineering -- Massive cost overruns and schedule delays on large infrastructure projects (e.g., public transit systems, bridges)

* Military and Government -- Defense acquisition programs notorious for massive cost increases and years-long delays, where complex requirements and bureaucratic processes create an environment ripe for failure.

* Healthcare -- Hospital system implementations or large research projects that exceed budgets and fail to deliver intended efficiencies, often due to resistance to change and poor executive oversight.

My biggest impression over the past couple of days is that I’ve been working too long and have forgotten just how huge Google’s technological advantages are. From college until now, I’ve always relied on Google Search, even though I hardly use their other products. When I started working, it was Google’s open-source MapReduce paper that shaped the big data industry. Then came containerization, then Google’s Kubernetes. Nowadays, the entire cloud computing industry seems to be based on Kubernetes, and our entire team develops on top of it. Even this wave of Google’s stock price increase has benefited our company, because we have partnerships with them.

I can tell you that Tokyo is very loud. Constant road traffic noise everywhere, drunk people singing on the streets, pointless warnings from the local municipal office on the public alert system, noisy street advertisements, constant announcements in train stations, bousouzoku gangs constantly revving their bikes in silent neighborhoods every night, flight traffic noise, railroad noise of the trains passing, level crossing barriers constantly ding-donging, etc

It's entirely possible to have clean, whole beans in a burrito. It's unusual in commercial kitchens because whole beans are kept warm in the cooking broth until service to avoid drying out. The preparer will scoop them out with a slotted spoon to drain, but usually they're in too much of a hurry to fully drain it. Product photos don't rush this step because a soggy burrito doesn't look good on camera and they also undercook things so the ingredients don't mush. AI tools have ingested a lot more product photos than real burritos.

the creator is being harmed in no way at all, the ad free viewer is still a viewer and still could potentially generate more traffic to that creator by word of mouth algo pushing based on more views etc. Its still a net positive for the creator, just not AS net positive as an ad viewer.

its not some secret that some % of viewers, block ads.. either you lean into it and utilize it, or you pretend people should be obligated to only watch your videos by paying or watching ads, in that case find a new platform.
Show HN: Astro Editor – Free macOS Markdown editor for Astro content collections
by dannysmith | 2025-11-26 03:47:39+00:00
Hey HN, I built this because I wanted to write more on my personal website but found VS Code et al terrible for prose.

Astro is a great static site framework for content-heavy sites, but its content files use MDX (markdown + JSX components) with YAML frontmatter. Regular markdown editors like iA Writer can't handle this properly.

Astro Editor is basically iA Writer for Astro content collections:

- Distraction-free writing with focus mode (hides YAML and imports)

- Auto-generates frontmatter forms from your Zod schemas

- Component insertion with prop picker for MDX

- Drag-and-drop image handling

It's free and open source, built with Tauri + React.

macOS only for now. If there's interest in Windows/Linux upvote this: https://github.com/dannysmith/astro-editor/issues/56

And that is what is being trusted.

Not "the code is readable therefore trustable".

More "the code is readable, therefore I trust multiple someones, somewhere will read it or has read it and if they have a concern they will voice it".

Is it the greatest thing to trust? No, but like a lot of things in life, it's the best of the practical options.

Ad blockers are recommended by the FBI as safety measures. I follow the FBI's advice. Internet ads are a vector for executing untrusted code that can invoke exploits and engage in invasive fingerprinting. Revert back to the 90s web with dumb ads and I'll look at them. It's amazing how blinkered people will be about potentially malicious programs downloaded from the internet just because it's hidden behind a browser interface.

These laws may very well be terrible, but no need to mention on an internet forum you want to help (hire?) someone to mass murder people involved in making them. Jokes and sarcasm don't always land as intended.

As to a more constructive path: bureaucracy all over EU is definitely considered a big problem (for startups, and for many others) and there are a bunch of movements aimed at addressing them at all kinds of levels. For example look at the eu acc movement.

Important to note that while the station has angular velocity it is not usually accelerating.

If you decelerate and cancel your own angular velocity relative to the station hub, you do indeed simply stop experiencing gravity.

Imagine instead jumping off the 'stationary' hub of a rotating station. You simply float under no gravity until you hit the ring. The angular velocity imparted on you by the ring is the gravity you perceive. But once you have that angular velocity, you can jump from the ring's inner surface and fall back down as if the gravity were real.

One way such stations are imagined in media is with a spiral ramp from the surface of the ring up to the hub. It works just like you expect. You gradually shed your angular velocity by climbing the 'gravity well'.

A little tip for your next visit to Jakarta :

- Indonesia is a tropical country, and Jakarta is in the vicinity of the sea, so depending on the month of year, it can rain anytime on the day. So, if you are not comfortable with rain, always use a taxi/grab/gocar to go around.

- If you are pressed for time, I suggest you use airport train to go to the airport. At least you won't get stuck on traffic.

- About the noise problem, I think it won't be a problem if you sleep in a tall building. The last time I go there, I sleep in a relatively good hotel and deliberately choose the higher floor. And the noise doesn't become a problem for me.

Hope this help and you can get a nicer experience on your next visit

Cloudflare has their own image optimization and caching service, would be a good alternative: https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/transform-images/

I wrote a basic plugin for Jekyll to automatically prefix my images with this. Pretty much just set it and forget it: https://github.com/catskull/catskull.github.io/blob/master/_...

Am I missing something or is this way harder to do in Wordpress?

Yes, for that specific example it works. But in general, this essentially deletes the UL from the layout entirely. It won't be stylable[0] and it won't dispatch UI events that occur on it specifically.

One example of a reason you might want such an element to still participate in layout is to use that element as an area highlighter. Or you might make it a scrollable section; subgrid makes sticky-header tables rather trivial to implement now.

[0] Well, I can't remember right now if it's unstylable or if its height just ends up zero, but either way, it might not be what you expect.

> what evolution has given us is a learning architecture and learning algorithms that generalize well from extremely few samples.

This sounds magical though. My bet is that either the samples aren’t as few as they appear because humans actually operate in a constrained world where they see the same patterns repeat very many times if you use the correct similarity measures. Or, the learning that the brain does during human lifetime is really just a fine-tuning on top of accumulated evolutionary learning encoded in the structure of the brain.

In my experience, having MIT and UCI as customers, US universities are much easier to deal with small to no process for simple cheap things. On the other hand, I was contacted by a well known engineering school in France (ENSEEIHT), they wanted support but were laughing at the idea to spend 20$ per month for the privilege, left the impression they wanted to use my time for way under minimum wage, same yesterday with a deutch school who wanted help but not willing to spend a dime, and some other universities who have deployed my software in prod but did not upgrade in the last 5 years. Even in China, I stumbled upon a fork maintained by the university of Shangai, of course they never reached out in the first place to ask for any kind of support, just took the code and went their own way. This kind of behavior haven't happen with US universities which are more likely to reach out and pay for support

> In that world, they feel believed and valued, and are encouraged to think of themselves as brave instead of scared. Medical culture, in contrast, tends to approach preventable tragedies as teachable moments. This is a mistake. Crises are opportunities to show people what you can do for them, not to ask them to change their minds.

No, it's not a mistake. What's a mistake is the cultural path that has gotten us to where we see some kind of equivalence between scientific fact and "feeling believed and valued". The proliferation of anti-vax nonsense is one of the things that makes me think the hardest about whether we need to rein in the first amendment. In my view telling someone it is okay to not vaccinate their child because it might cause autism is one step up from telling them to hit the kid on the head with a baseball bat. It's wrong and carries quite clear harmful consequences.

Yeah I mean if you’re deleting namespaces after each run then sure, that may solve it. They have a pruner now that you can enable too to set up retention periods for pipeline runs.

There’s also some issues with large Results, though I think you have to manually enable that. From their site

> CAUTION: the larger you make the size, more likely will the CRD reach its max limit enforced by the etcd server leading to bad user experience.

And then if you use Chains you’re opening up a whole other can of worms.

I contracted with a large institution that was moving all of their cicd to Tekton and they hit scaling issues with etcd pretty early in the process and had to get Red Hat to address some of them. If they couldn’t get them addressed by RH they were going to scrap the whole project.
