You don't think the thousands of PhDs who've had abusive relationships with their advisors corroborate things? I've known tenure track faculty who have said "I don't want to work with women - they don't work as hard" and later got tenure.

There exist good advisors. There exist happy students. There also exist abusive advisors and systems to protect students are nearly nonexistent. This has nothing to do with "participation trophies".
It's less of a problem in Python but it still exists. A lot of the day to day work of programming is moving and refactoring chunks of code around. Having to pay careful attention to white space the whole time makes this a lot more tedious and error prone than it is in languages without this feature.
Then my iPhone pops up a "Keyboard Input" notification with a text input that I can type from the phone without unlocking it.

Of course, if you don't have your phone nearby it might suck but let's be realistic, how often you don't have your phone close by when watching TV?

Agreed, it's flimsy. Certainly a bit more effort for them spoof it correctly though. Would need to watch traffic on the path back per flow to isolate the number of prior decrements to the TTL leading up to MitM, and then store that value until such time that it sees an SNI it cares about / it's time to generate a reset.
I mostyly agree, however i recently clicked on a beef jerky ad on instagram and bought a pack, but that is one purchase over the course of 20+ years of seeing online adds, so I think your point still stands.
So then there can be a website or browser extension built to create subtitles. We aren't dependent on YouTube to do everything for us.
Especially if the sub's are stored and shared, it will enable them to be used on mirror videos in case YouTube takes something down.

I actually think this a good thing. Maybe the community will actually we that dependence on proprietary systems isn't a good thing.
that's why it's spaces only.

If you mix you are asking for trouble, and if you allow to be configured, half will pick one the other will pick other.

So the only sane choice is to just pick one and enforce it.

And by now most of the editors have python rules baled in, so it's not big problem in practice.

This is a chicken and egg problem.

Of course there's hardly any demand for a slow, expensive and often late service which only runs once a day. It's not useful.

A journey I do often in the UK is London to Edinburgh by train. The distance is almost the same (400 miles). London is a bit bigger than Chicago (12 million metro vs ~8 million metro) but then the Twin Cities are quite a lot larger than Edinburgh (1 million metro vs ~4 million metro).

However, the track has been improved, is at least doubled the whole way and has significant portions at 125 mph. As a result the journey takes just over 4 hours. If the trains are more than 1 hour late you get all your money back.

On an average weekday there's 41 trains travelling each way between those cities. And many of them are full. They're constantly doing improvements to try and increase the number of trains travelling.

I understand it's a different situation - the result of decades of political apathy towards railways. But I think it's important to understand that the Amtrak situation doesn't have to be the way it is. There's not an inherent lack of demand for fast, regular train services between major cities.
Fantastic irony here ;)

I guess the main difference between what apple and a supermarket is that with apple you buy some hardware and are then forced to only get software from one store.

It would be like buying a house somewhere and are then forced to only shop at one specific supermarket as long as you live there. No more buying your stuff anywhere else.
Gaming consoles are no longer just gaming consoles. They’re also web browsers (albeit inferior ones) and media consumption machines (music and movies).

One could even argue that they’re media creation machines, with the presence of RPG Maker (and a few other pieces of software I can’t recall the names of at the moment).
I recently purchased a Samsung Smart TV. I pretty much just plugged in our 4k Fire Stick TV and we use that, bypassing all of the built in stuff which was a bit confusing to navigate and had significant lag between button press and UI reaction.

The headline I believe was chosen by OP. What leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that the team thought it unnecessary to credit QuickJS and Bellard anywhere in the README file - and making it seem like original work.
Author here. I've chosen HN as an example because of different reasons. a) I am using HN often, so I experience this issue myself b) This is a developer blog, so visitors may be familiar with HN c) The simplicity of HN and the minimal changes that were applied over the years is a great thing. However, HN has many accessibility issues (the downvoted screenshot being an extreme example of), which I hope they will fix in the future.
On the other hand, other sites are much more likely to build better features for the subtitling/captioning and building a community around it.

So I really do think this will be a net benefit in the long run.

OpenVPN has a terse and logical configuration language. For all the complaints that open source projects do bad UX, someone put a bit of thought into this one, and it shows.
Sure, but it’s anecdotal. For me, it’s 99% more accurate. Meaning 99 times out of 100 Google returns more relevant results.
Whether you’ve used it or not, there is a Windows store. There was also a Windows phone store, and there is currently an Xbox store. The second two examples were and are walled gardens.
There is a huge difference between having access to a single channel and 2+ channels. It promotes competition among the channels. What if Apple takes 30% of your phone bills, because it just can.

Logical successors or not, the walled garden economic model remains actively in-use and viable on gaming platforms, and has not been found to be legally unacceptable to date. What basis exists for the walled garden economic model to be decreed unlawful, whether for video games or applications or any other digital content? How would that basis be legally distinctive from the walled gardens of physical retail stores?

The judge’s point is that this - “walled gardens” - is an economically sound and widely-used practice that has not previously been found to be unlawful, and therefore (likely) no basis exists to find in favor of Epic’s claims at this stage of the proceedings.

No, they don't. A rider to the ACA removed government subsidies of private loans. The federal government is now solely an issuer (though I believe their portfolio still includes some loans that were originally private but later bought out by the government).

>> which advocates stratification of society based on the birth

Not a unique to Indian nationalism. American nationalism is very similar. See the "birther" movement. Or the president's push to withdraw birthright citizenship, a concept that would deny far more than just education. Or the references to "anchor babies". The location of one's birthplace, and the birthplace of one's parents, is of fundamental importance in US nationalist movements just as in India.
Why would killing all of those routes help Amtrak? The sentiment of "we should prevent you from expanding until you fix all of your problems" tends to lead into death spirals instead of solutions.

Why Contraception Is Still ‘Women’s Business’ in India
Our team uses Nix. It lets us share a binary cache of modified/own packages between the developers, CI, and our production machines.

If you push something to CI that needs some new dependencies, the CI machine will build them and when you want to get a local dev environment or deploy, the binaries will be fetched from the CI machine. We can also send the binaries between machines to save compile time. This is possible because we have confidence that it doesn't matter which machine built them because the environment is so strictly controlled.

PhD is not specifically elite thing, PhD is specifically learn to be researcher education. As in generally being PhD and being engineer are two very different things. In areas where PhD is hard, they are also seen as proof that you are hard capable worker. Are you sure that seeking "royal path" and competition between PhD with Engineering is not a French artifact?
Best Code Review Tools for Code Quality Analysis
Why not offer both?

You can already enter these stores using your phone.
Diet research is mostly psychology. The biology is reasonably well understood; as you say, calorie reduction and exercise.

But both of those things are uncomfortable, and it's hard to get people to stick with it consistently. You can feel bad all week and still lose just one pound, an amount swamped by the normal daily variation in weight. People often give up or fail to follow the program, especially after the first week.

So pretty much all diet research is really about getting people to stick with the program rather than the nutrition in itself. The nutrition isn't irrelevant: a good diet can make you feel less uncomfortable than you might. Beyond that, it's about whatever program gives you the mental tools to deal with it.
That's correct :) Additionally, this was just an extreme example, but the front page of HN currently has 237 occurrences of insufficient contrast ratio.

Basecamp seems like a good alternative. I can't stand Slack for anything, really. Email is OK, but you can't easily just add someone into a group of old emails automatically.

I can go into my local grocery store, and if I don't like something about the Oreo's I can go across the street to a different grocery store and get my Oreo's there. Epic Games only lets me download Fortnite on my PC or Mac through the Epic Games Store, so no they are not the same as buying groceries.
Pihole cannot block youtube ads. You need uBlock, that can block parts of DOM tree inside a page, knowing hosts is not enough.
You can still distribute a Mac App outside of the App Store, without a fee. It's pretty clear, as I think is Apple's strategy, that there is a line between Mac and iOS when it comes to possible use cases.

I'm curious to know what they plan to do with iPad OS though... the MacCatalyst and Swift UI strategy will be interesting to watch evolve in light of these challenges.
That is a really bad argument.

100% agree. Automation is a force multiplier. It means each human can build more widgets, travel farther and faster, harvest more crops, and also snitch on a neighbor, enforce traffic violations, and cast a chilling effect over any behavior outside social norm.
Between this, what the "runtime" is currently capable of, and the benchmarks shown, I feel like this is a really poor example of a Show HN project and at best unintentionally misled me about several things...
Hmm. I feel like there's a spiritual connection between your spreadsheet guys and the apocryphal product expert at Campbell's Soups or wherever that tried to focus-test "the perfect soup" that would optimize sales. In the story, they realized that there's no one "perfect soup" and they had to create different varieties.

Likewise, there's no such thing as "the best product" at a supermarket. Everyone has their own spread of products and if you cancel low-performing product lines, sometimes it has unexpected effects. (Anecdatum: We used to exclusively do grocery shopping at Woolworths until they stopped selling the cans of chilli beans that we use for nachos. Now we do maybe 1/4 of our grocery shopping at Coles instead, costing Woolworths thousands of dollars a year in lost sales, just because we needed some chilli beans and might as well get the rest of our groceries while we're there.)
Are you actually earning more and objectively better off in economic/status terms by doing this?

I ask because another common failure mode with getting stuck is to essentially 'rage code' into working free overtime and accepting bad conditions all because of the camaraderie i.e. someone is exploiting the positive characteristics of bonding. If it matches with your goals, that's fine, but often people look back and realise they were essentially exploited in this way (see: team-building exercises in a lot of minimum-wage style jobs to see a pure & distilled form of this kind of thing.)

Perhaps just something to be aware of! I don't mean to be overly negative, so apologies in advance if I've gotten a completely wrong impression here, but I do believe the general risk of this failure mode in career/life exists and is common.
Not all videogames can be sold by a retailer. To use the Nintendo example, not all of the games sold in their store can be purchased from Amazon, because physical cartridges don’t exist for those games. In fact, most indie titles (Among Us, for one example) can’t be purchased from Amazon, Wallmart, Target, etc. Nor can they be re-sold.
> there is little taught in the actual classes that cannot be learned through alternative means.

You'd be ok with a do it yourself engineer, doctor, or accountant? You'd hire a lawyer who is self taught? I see you moving onto the usual punching bags of schools being hostile to free thought, but I'd say even your initial assumption is suspect.

> I have been complainging in different companies that using REST is not practical between application (at least use JSON-API then).

JSON-API is REST, though not all REST is JSON-API.

Actual REST is least useful for communication between a single frontend and backend controlled by the same party.

More accurately, SOAP was horrible and it sometimes worked.

> If you change the contract the clients simply do not compile.

I’m not sure how that would be a good thing, even if it were true, which it isn't unless you are fetching the WSDL and then recompiling clients each time you try to access the server.

> This is not the case when you change a service using REST

Which is a good thing, HATOEAS plus resources described with media types and using content-type and accept headers properly, all of which is part of REST over HTTP, give you plenty of opportunity for clean error for a representation change you can't handle without requiring you to try compiling at each access.

I thought you were trying to get a measure of traffic to HN. In that case, the number of visitors to the site is only an approximation. But if you were talking about how much traffic HN directs to the #1 post, then the number is exactly correct.
"So essentially the world belogns to large corporations these days :("

This is not a change at all. Large companies buy smaller ones. Large companies buy markets. This is nothing new, and it creates a lot of startup opportunity. Feature purchases, mergers, roll-ups and even acquihires can create wealth for founders and investors. Not every company has the timing and resources to be a Facebook or Google, but their are so many other big success stories. Keep on trying, don't give up, and don't let arbitrary rule lists stop you.
I'm very dubious about whether these actually match real world performance.

I've done a bunch of work with QuickJS. It's awesome and the performance features you get in return for its tiny footprint is amazing. But compared to JIT-enabled V8 it's incredibly slow.

The one area where it shines compared to V8 is startup time, because the engine is so much lighter. So if you're profiling "time taken to start up and execute one operation" then yes, QuickJS might look better. But that isn't how people use Node/Deno, even when you're creating a CLI tool you're loading a lot of JS and performing a lot of operations.
Partially off topic but I like this feature of American law of asking people (and not judges) to decide the outcome of this kind of trials:

This is a huge issue colleges face. Cheating let's these people get by.

Engineering has a few extra math classes that weed out most of these types..
>It's interesting to me that most people in this thread view colleges as jobs programs

What else would it be for the vast majority of people? You're investing thousands of dollars (either directly, or through opportunity cost) and huge chunk of time. If you can't make back that investment, then it just isn't worth for most people. The number of people that could make a living from pure research is always going to be miniscule. The number of people that could justify the expense (or opportunity cost) to just learn something for pleasure, is miniscule.

> that's not the ideal that gave birth to the university in the form that we recognize it

Right. Because originally universities were for the ruling and religious class that could justify the expense of education for its own sake. In modern world, many more people could make that calculation too, but lots of people could not justify the expense ... especially if you put this in these kinds of stark terms.

>And so it's not clear to me whether universities as we recognize them will continue to exist if we continue to view them as a jobs programs.

They could not. And that's a good thing. Humanities are a mess just for the reason that they take tuition and time from students and leave them hanging out to dray, after they graduate with no direct job prospects (i.e. a way to make a living).
