Tricky for me to understand that, @DanG. There was zero flaming on my side - that I can see - and not much on his, just an opinion I truly can't understand but think I need to.

He posted honestly, I posted honestly in response factually and no shouting. So I don't get it.
While making moderation logs public is perhaps a plus for "transparency", it can have some rather negative effects in terms of community stability, especially in smaller groups. Even if the mod logs don't include the content of removed posts, the fact alone that a user had some of their posts removed by a moderator can feed a conflict. Having moderation actions occur silently helps keep a community on track.
It should be supported, although I don't have any good examples of people doing it. There is work being put into making micropython into a powerful webasm package for frontend development.

The idea of being able to update multiple tables in a single query this way is intriguing to me! But I like the fact that the Postgresql syntax makes it crystal clear which table is being updated.
Mental models are not lies.

"The car is red" is not a lie just because I didn't phrase it internally as "The car reflects photons of a frequency of around 700nm".

We have to be able to simplify and internalize simplified models in order to make any sense of anything. It's the same reason your eyes only have a focal point in the dead center: attention requires vast amounts of processing power.

To reiterate, a simplification is not a lie. Especially not a flat-out lie.
We can nitpick.

Do business types create them?

App to help you locate your car in a parking lot through augmentedreality
Here's an #app that can help you out to locate your car in a strange parking lot through #augmentedreality .

App Youtube ShowReel:- https://lnkd.in/gqHxSpM

App - Where's my cAR - AR Parking Anchor

The app lets you anchor your car parked location to its Geo coordinates with a name.

Which later can be used to visualize the anchor as a 3d model car to be viewed in augmented reality.

The app comes in handy at parking lots at:
1)movie theatre
2)supermarket
3)community apartment
4)shopping malls
Or on Visiting a friend's house etc....

This implementation can also be used to know cab's arrival and location for @uber @ola Summra Ubrar

Update soon:-
To an universal anchor to find any object visualizing in augmented reality.

Comment how else you would use it.

If you just casefold two strings and compare them, it's still a bug. You need to normalize them to NFKC first.

>"The original sampling drum machine was created by Roger Nichols in 1978 for now-somewhat-forgotten 70s band Steely Dan.

Steely Dan has been a continuous staple of AOR and classic rock radio since their first album in 1972. There was even a huge resurgence of their popularity with the whole "yacht rock" movement. They even won three Grammys for 2001's "Two Against Nature" record.

>"The Steely Dan people were notoriously obsessive about drum timing, which was a bad thing to be when all you had were human drummers."

This is not correct. Steely Dan's stable of studio musicians were the best in the business. Their drummers on this album Rick Marotta, Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro and Bernard Purdie would all be considered perfect time keepers. The impetus for the creation of the "Wendell" was not to make up for precision in time keeping, it's primary function was as a drum sampler. This would then allow Becker and Fagen the ability to obsessively control things like inflection - a softer high hat here, a different snare accent there, after the drums were recorded. It's primary function was not a source of time keeping. For example it's actually Rick Marotta's drum playing you hear on "Hey Nineteen", just sampled via the Wendell and then compiled from many different takes.
>but I find the Facebook walled garden even more terrifying.

That's interesting that you do. I can't see it because I just don't go on Facebook. And it isn't a moral stance - I have an account, and occasionally I will respond to a relative or a friend. It's just such a small part of my life that I just don't see the danger you do.

I confirm that in French capital letters should have accents.

I have an anecdote on this: on birth certificates, family names are written in capital letters. It turns out my partner name ends with a É which was written as E in her birth certificate. She never noticed (it had never prevented her to get national ID with her name properly accented) until we had our first kid which has both our names, and they refused to have the name accented until we had my partner's birth certificate updated (which as you can imagine is quite an adventure, since you need to dig ancient family birth certificates to prove it was originally written with an accent...).
As a landlord you can’t charge 20% more than a comparable available property - think about it.

Also a good point. For instance, even if mod logs obscure the content of deleted posts, a determined abuser can simply create new users whose names alone convey messages that are inappropriate for the community. (A concrete example: in a community surrounding a person named John Smith, a user named "JohnSmithIsARapist".)

If you were to look at this star in it's peak velocity relative to a stationary observer, you would see a pretty big shift in it's color!

Say the star was our sun, with a peak frequency at ~525nm. For reference, that's a good solid green, like that of fresh wet grass. If the star were moving away from you at 0.08c, then the color would redshift down to 569nm, a nice pale lime. If the star were moving toward you, then it would blueshift up to 481nm, an ultramarine blue. You can see the colors by wavelength here:

I use Thunderbird and it's installed on multiple machines where I have it configured to access the same email account via IMAP. I never really had a problem with out of sync mail and searches are done locally on the machine rather than on the server. I don't have it configured to use Maildir, but the files that store messages are in plain text and I could use grep on them if I wanted to.
No, the next decade, the 1930s, was the philosophical goldrush. Von Neumann, Gödel, Turing, and Tarski published their collective destruction of the formalist and structuralist programs; Bohr, Heisenberg, and Pauli laid down the foundations of quantum mechanics. The former program destroyed any belief that we might be able to use formal tactics to analyze truth or other semantics; the latter program gave us positive evidence that reality is contextual and non-concrete.

I would enjoy a Reddit clone that had a simple sitewide ban on politics. The problem with politics is that it’s infectious: either a site keeps it highly contained and controlled or it slowly takes over most communities over time and dominates. This happened to Twitter and it’s happening to Reddit. I’m curious to see if it will happen to TikTok, which for most of its existence managed to avoid politics.

HN has avoided this fate by being extremely selective about which political topics are allowed and frankly by banning most of them.

My thinking is let Reddit continue down its course toward a site specifically for politics or politically-driven conversation about various topics and let all substantive non-political discourse move elsewhere.
"blockchain systems" - which I notice you're invested in by virtue of leading a startup which in some way utilises blockchain technology - may be able to help in reducing the opportunities to cheat on the technology side. This is not the main problem when combating voter coercion, a problem which you noted also exists with mail-in voting. This is true and it is one of the reasons why mail-in voting (as compared to absentee ballots which have to be personally requested by the voter) is rife with problems. Technical solutions can only go so far, even that pin-code system with "fake votes" can be thwarted by using the same threat of force to obtain the "legitimate vote PIN". As far as I can see there are currently no reliable technical solutions to this problem and with that the personal vote at the voting station, using a ballot form and a pencil, is still the best solution.

Sometimes a low-tech solution is the best because it provides a low attack surface and is not easily abused at a massive scale. While there are still some opportunities to mess up things - lost ballot boxes, missing ballot forms, etc - these are easily detected and can be rectified.

For now, I vote for simplicity when it comes to casting my vote.
With or without WebComponents, with or without <insert feature X here>, the web is an horrible platform anyway. The web was never made to make UIs, it was made for documents and it's not even that great for that either.

The alien & legacy HTML language & the total incomprehensible mess of CSS rules/layout, the requirement to use JS and nothing else... Everything is a total mess.

Looking back, a big mistake of the web was drawing the line too high for the API. The web forced on us JS that nobody wants (and Typescript & Wasm is the proof of that). The web forced us to use CSS & HTML that nobody wants either (Figma and other design tools systems based on simple elements and constrains is the proof that too).

What we should standardize is a lowlevel code representation + a set of sandboxed APIs. That's all we need.

Wasm + Wasi seems to aim at that, yet they on Wasm side they insist on "how are we gonna make DOM accessible from Wasm ? how are we going to interop between JS and Wasm ?". I don't want the DOM, I don't want JS, I want none of that crap.

I hope that Native UIs compiled to Wasm+Webgl(or vulkan or webgpu or whatever we'll agree on) are the future for the web. So that we can write once and run everywhere decently fast.

When I see the speed of makepad.nl, the power of Godot Engine running in the browser and the simplicity of Figma & the Fidget framework it feels like prehistory that we are still making UIs and apps with JS&CSS&HTML
If you make $250k in SF (sounds high, but about average for the people I know that are leaving SF), state income tax alone is $19,996. If you make that in Texas, state income tax is $0. That $20k/year is for many people a bigger deal than the cost of living. Most people I know leaving were home owners or rent controlled.

Nim is compiled into C, IIRC, but it uses Nim syntax and rules and you don't call it "C". Same way, Python's Numba is compiled into LLVM IR at runtime, and you basically write Python, with a few limitations. You don't have to write or know any C/C++ to write high-performant numeric algos in numba (just clarifying) and there is no "C implementation underneath" as you're saying. It's also one of the easiest ways for "AI researchers in universities to do the work" because they and their friends probably already know Python but not Nim.

Re: ML libraries like lightgbm and many others - they are written in C++ so that there's a public C FFI which can then be wrapped in other languages, and not only in Python. This is probably the most flexible way to do things as opposed to limiting the whole thing to one niche/language.

// I'm not saying Nim is bad, Python is good, or any of that - I like alternative languages myself, but being an "AI researcher" and practitioner and spending most of my work time on developing numeric ML algorithms, I'd never look into Nim for doing any serious work, at least not now, partially because then I'd be the only person maintaining whatever I write alone and forever.
Algebraic types are great. They let you encode portions of your logic in to the type system in a way that is readable and understandable.
Talking about kind and k3s, does anyone know how to load a local docker image into a k3d cluster?

The command is supposed to be: 'k3d image import --cluster myCluster image:tag', but it fails with "Failed to start exec process in node 'k3d-myCluster-tools'"

On kind it works fine with 'kind load docker-image --name myCluster image:tag'.

I'm using WSL2.
This is exactly right, is and is a great example of what self-documenting code can be. The function itself could have a bit more explanation but any code calling it is going to be obvious.

The big difference is it looks deliberate, instead of just code written by someone trying to micro-optimize, be very clever, or who just didn't realize tolower() exists. Most people will pause before just replacing it, and likewise it should trigger questions in the PR.
Signal used phone numbers as user ID's. That has recently been changed.
What I am trying to say is most of the time there is no such thing as final sale. E.g. a hobby store near me says final sale on electronic parts. As I am aware this is not allowed, they actually have to prove the customer broke the part to refuse the return. This is pretty hard to do.

They also can't charge restocking fees or refuse the return if you've destroyed the packaging. Losing the receipt possibly, but they need to be tracking sales as well and I think you would win that.
Gosh, I don’t enjoy that there is so much competition in this space. I can’t compete against people who essentially seem to have no life or other interests than getting job at Big N (or enjoy competitive programming).

It feels like this culture has ramped up in the last 5-10 years. When I started interviewing, the questions were easier. It feels like they’ve gotten more difficult - or at least the answer the interviewer wants is less attainable.

And I feel like I know why - go look at the leetcode discussion forums. There’s almost always some post at the top saying, “I did 1000 problems and won’t stop. I got accepted/rejected and learned so much. Believe.” From the outside and inside, it looks like a cult. I feel like these folks are just making it worse for everyone.

Maybe I am just bitter because I’ve passed every mock interview I’ve done but I can’t get an offer from Big N still. Startups are the worst as a non-founder/non-executive.
Because the law restricts government officials from banning interactions from the public, not private companies doing that on their private property.
You are being way too favorable to the author.

The ad hominem is that they dismiss a bunch of positions as ‘bullshit’ based on their own (true) claim to experience, and the assertion that the people making these claims don’t have the experience. I.e. ‘if you don’t see things as clearly as the author, you are just a commenter with no experience’.

Any favorable reading of the author’s position is based on believing they are sincere and correct about Epic lying about what they want.

There is no favorable reading where one of these conditions is not met.

If the author is not being sincere, the piece is disingenuous.

If Epic is not lying, the piece is delusional and self-contradictory.

But this central conceit is not justified at all by any reasoning. The consequences of it being true are not explored.

The fact is that Epic’s positioning doesn’t allow for Apple to settle in this way.

There is no way for them to do so without entering into an illegal cartel with Epic.

The fact that they are honest about Epic’s flaws is very positive but it doesn’t change the overall positioning of the article. Epic is not ‘destroyed’ at all. That is a misrepresentation. They simply aren’t held out to be a saint.

I can make a statement like “Apple has engaged in egregious corporate behavior and was guilty fo conspiring to hold down developer wages, so why should we think they aren’t doing this on a grand scale with the App Store?”

This is a true statement followed by a valid question. It’s also innuendo. But more importantly, the fact I’m willing to make it does nothing to change the rest of the arguments I’m making here. Do you suddenly think I’m being fair? I wouldn’t imagine so.

The positioning of the author is that much reasoning about this is ‘bullshit’, or the work of people who don’t have enough experience.

If the piece were a HN comment in response to another commenter, it would be against the guidelines.

It’s a bad piece. It doesn’t make any real arguments, rather it seeks to defeat arguments with innuendo.

I agree with you about the value of the opinions in the piece, and that it’s good to have them shared, but that doesn’t take away from the overall criticism.

A bad or disingenuous argument can include many important and valuable points, and still be bad.
Why not just use Lua? :) yes I get it, Lua is yet another language to your stack.

But so is MicroPython. We were looking for a higher lever than C language for an embedded Linux system* and one engineer was massively in favor of MicroPython. But it’s not python, it’s based on 3.4 so it’s like python but not. It has its own rules and particularities. When I hire a new engineer I’d rather say “here read this book and learn this language” than “ok we have this python work alike/fork, now learn all these exceptions.”

It’s also not a good fit for embedded Linux system programming like Lua is.

*) this is an in production, professional environment, which decision will have years of legacy support and ramifications.
> Even if Google takes Chrome proprietary in the future, Microsoft and others can continue on their forks. That's the beauty of open source in this case.

It won't help much if a huge part of Chrome's proprietary new future involves running on proprietary content as well. Just wait until Chrome has some special non-HTTP integration with "lightning fast AMP pages" that other browsers can't serve, or serves a lot slower.
That's a poor excuse. You cannot do everything in just few things and would want things that help you do more, or create abstractions easily. That will require additional syntax. In Go absence of generics will make you write more code that will increase code length unnecessarily.
not that unusual - for German for instance üöäÜÖÄß need to be added so all words can be matched.
As an analogy, opening my window increases my chance of getting skin cancer by letting more light in. Should I therefore always keep my window closed? Is the increased risk of cancer worth the benefit of having my window open? Should we all be forced to live underground, because that would definitely save a multitude of lives from skin cancer.

Sports events will always increase deaths, even in non-covid times. More people will die from the regular flu and other non-covid disases. More people will die from the increased travelling and accidents from that. More people will die from the extra pollution associated with the extra amount of traveling. More people will die when stressing themselves physically to perform at a high level at the sport event. The same arguments can be made about anything humans do.
