Why use the external pre-commit repos instead of pointing to the poetry-managed local installations for flake8, black, isort, etc? The repos approach results in a much simpler and cleaner pre-commit config, but since you end up with two pinned versions of each, managed by different updaters, it can invite drift which can be very hard to track down.

I'd prefer to only use the pre-commit versions of these libs, but then I'd sacrifice editor integration.

Depression is a sinister downward spiral that becomes self fulfilling and all consuming. As said in the piece...

> Escaping the depression requires doing things I’m too depressed to do.

So please, if you see yourself at the top of this abyss, reach out right away for help before that too seems like too much.

You are valuable

You are loved

You are worthy of care

Like eating an elephant, one tiny bite at a time, take a small step and celebrate it. That might be as small as sitting up or getting off the couch. Your brain doesn’t want to celebrate it, but you can.

I have been on the support end and also struggled a bit with mild depression for the better part of 20 years. There are people who understand... find them and hold them close.

Hopefully you have a healthy relationship with your parents or a very close friend / partner. Lean into that and let them love you. It may require they physically get you to a doctor and that is a good thing.

One more small step to celebrate.
Some TVs have good built-in speakers. Most don't, but if you look for them you can find them.

TVs don't compete with sound bars, but sound bars certainly compete with TVs.
I think a generative transformer can be said to generate text. It doesn't generate new words. The words it uses to generate the text, are words copied verbatim from the input. What's emergent is the combination of those words into text.

The generated output has building blocks (characters, words) which themselves are not "generated" in the sense that they are novel.

A random number generator generates numbers. It doesn't generate the digits used to represent the random numbers. Those are taken from a set (such as 0..9) and just "used".

Longer runs are great, but you do hit a point of diminishing returns. I tell anyone looking to get into running long distance that after a half marathon you are no longer really doing it for fitness, it is about the personal challenge, which is great, but it is important not to trick yourself into thinking more will always be better for you with running.

There are also pros and cons of shorter and longer distances. Ideally you are running faster on shorter runs and a bit slower on longer runs. Getting in HITs occasionally will improve your long speed and help prevent injury. It is also a great thing to do on days you only have 10 minutes.
A PoW miner has to spend to cover their costs, a staker doesn't have any cost to cover, providing a cryptographic signature requires no energy on an ongoing basis, just an initial investment.

I remember when even most IT people were utterly baffled by the idea that individual households could want a 1 megabit line.
But if you don't control what's going on on your platforms they become a cesspit that most people don't want to go anywhere near. They either succumb to spam, or just allow the openly racist to dominate, as other participants tend to leave in disgust.

These new platforms have generally all been a fantastic example of that, as have the older reddit forks/splinters (voat?)

Isn't almost every quarter in HN we discuss the replication crisis in psychology? Do you nonetheless ask for a blind submission to authority?

That is exactly what USDC is.

People were attracted to this because it promised returns for using their stablecoin (IRON) if you put it into liquidity pools that allowed others get IRON.
People talk about hooking cars up to the grid, and charging them during times of excess power, and then selling that power back during peak.

Yet, that shorten battery lifespan a lot (imagine a car charged weekly to get around town, now discharged/charged daily... battery life is now 1/7th).

There is also loss during charging, and discharge, loss in power lines too.

Meanwhile, you could create h2 right at the power plant during time of excess. Like at a dam.

Then just send all that stored energy via pipelines, just a with natural gas.

This should be the top comment. We’re just shining light on an existing issue.
In the UK the grid has published a few white papers on this, and even had to issue corrections because newspapers keep misinterpreting what they say.

Summary, no big deal and in fact smart EV charging tech can actively help the grid and make it easier to use all the cheap power we generate.
I was very into music since middle school. I loved performing, the adrenaline rush, the challenge. I wasn't that good, but I was passionate, so a few musicians encouraged me to make a career of it. My dad strongly disagreed, he wanted me to embrace my other love of STEM. Now I'm gainfully employed coding and I have multiple bands I play with. So damn, I think my dad was right.
Conda is one of the most annoying things with Python imo. Or, it's just another symptom of the crazy dependency hell of python, but it's actively making it worse. Now every project is a mashup of conda and pip and probably more.

Just right now I'm trying to fire up a new instance on GCP. With a completely clean image, doing a conda install hangs for 30 minutes while it's trying to "solve" something.

I've used them all the time in my career, but:

1. I did learn them well, and so I did use Laplace quite often in EE.

2. I jumped careers not into IT, but into tracks which leveraged both programming and a mathematical skill set.

I'll mention: I'd be bored out of my wits doing just IT. The intersection of IT and math includes computer graphics, visualizations, robotics, machine learning, fintech, image processing, and a ton of other stuff I find much more fun and fulfilling.

That's not an implicit commentary on your path, by the way, just an explanation of mine. We all have different goals, desires, values, constraints, etc.

> that the journalist usually has no first hand experience, and they're just re-telling heard stories.

Is this supposed to be some sort of dig at anyone writing or commenting specifically about crypto-currencies needing to have "first hand experience" or do you think any journalist has to have directly experienced themselves whatever they're writing about.

In my view, "re-telling heard stories" is a good definition of journalism, in itself. But I suspect in this case it's meant to de-legitimize the contents of any crypto-skeptical article?

edit: after the downvotes I thought I'd check the journalist's history - I thought there might be some justification for the skepticism of the post I quoted. But she has a pretty solid background writing about crypto-currency economics. So the minor linguistic mistake is obviously just a simple way to discredit the opinions she's expressing as a whole.

Gab's was a result of a patch they've made on top of Mastodon. Since Mastodon's license required them to share the code, here's a commit that introduced it (https://github.com/d0nk/gab-social/commit/fb3b7545705153022c...). They've since "fixed" the problem by sharing just an archive of the code, and password protecting it with "JesusChristIsKingTrumpWonTheElection").

I find it quite hilarious.

Presumably you can get your money back if you don't like the results.

edit: well this appears to be unpopular. It's a preview release, nobody is using this in production. They are offering the tech for free while they kick out the bugs and determine where things don't work as everyone expected. The fact that this is doing things they might not have expected suggests that this part of the process was necessary.

If you expected this to be production-ready, then you've misunderstood the purpose of a preview release. This applies to MS the same as it does any other developer.

Can we please stop (mis)using the term "AI"? It just does not live up to most people's expectations.

Copilot is a glorified Markov chain autocomplete sitting on a huge dump pile of data. It is not aware of constructs such as "licenses" or "secrets" most people would have expected from AI. To prevent it from spilling secrets everywhere, a developer ~~should teach the AI a concept of secrets and the meaning of licenses.~~ has to implement a filter. A regexp-based one will do, I guess.
This but for public school teachers.
Diversity was not a thing throughout the early 20th century when most of the innovations that made the modern world were invented.

> An apocryphal example of this is avionics software companies hiring teams with no overlap in universities to ensure that software was created with very distinct approaches.

How is this relevant? Diversity of thought is not the same as diversity of race.

I’m willing to bet that the Apple anecdote is a bit exaggerated and that one minor mistake won’t get you banished forever. That said, Apple operates on a highly accountable empowered team model so I wouldn’t be surprised if a major mistake would have a major impact on your career. Remember that individual contributor product team members at Apple (and lots of FAANG-caliber companies) are founders or had more senior roles at other companies, so it’s not weird that they’re given a lot of responsibility and are highly accountable for outcomes.
The value proposition of these things is that they're supposedly "non-biased." Why spend valuable development resources on building a good product when your target audience will be drawn to it out of ideology, regardless of quality?
Do we have enough people making new social media apps? I don't use social media other than HN, I wonder if the moats of these companies are too strong?

==Women pioneers have been a part of AT&T since 1878. That’s when Emma Nutt joined a team of teenage boys at a telephone exchange in Boston to become the first female operator. Within a few years almost all the telephone operators were women. Those female operators rose to the occasion during World War I, operating the telephone switchboards for the U.S. Army in France.==

==“As a result, AT&T and its subsidiaries became the largest employer of women in the United States,” he said. “At its peak, in the early 1950s, AT&T employed over 200,000 women as telephone operators.”==

Same for physics. I earn over 3X what I could make as a top-tier researcher paying myself out of grant money and have had a handsome seven-figure IPO (close to 8 figures, if the market price holds). It's quite shameful, as physics research is almost uniformly more important and relevant to society. Now that I'm set for life, financially, I very well might return to physics.

In America, we value frivolous crap over serious scientific and artistic endeavors, mainly because the masses are terribly dumb. Idiocracy was quite close to the truth, as good satire must be.

This has been one of my favorite names for a mathematical concept ever since I've heard of it. I can't help but imagine a conversation:

"So, you've got this model here then? Very good! I can count on it as being correct, right?"

"Err... well... no sir."

"Oh my. Well, that's disappointment. Is it at least probably correct?"

"Umm... I do think that would be overstating the matter, sir."

"You can't say that? Is it perhaps approximately correct? I could do with a model that's approximately correct, that's still jolly useful."

"Ummm... strictly speaking sir, no, I can't claim that the model is approximately correct either."

"My goodness, what is this thing actually good for then? What would you claim this model is?"

"Well, sir, it's... um... probably, approximately correct."

beat "Probably, approximately, correct."

"Yes sir."

"So you're telling me this model is approximately correct."

"Quite probably, sir."

"And it's probably correct."

"Only approximately, sir."

"I think perhaps you don't fully understand why I've been paying you those big Machine Learning dollars these past several months."
Yeah I'm not sure what the parent is going on about regarding ETH 2.0. I already converted some ETH -> ETH 2.0 and its earning more coin in rewards right now. Granted it can't be moved until the next phase, I believe, which could still be a while, but it's not vaporware.

It depends on whether they fix the problems before launch and whether the issues found during preview cause Real Problems (eg, secrets found this way resulting in significant cybercrime).
They'll figure it out eventually. There'll be a few failed attempts as people figure out that anything-goes doesn't work and eventually someone will find a good balance of moderation and freedom.

There is little doubt that we'll see a lot of unimpressive attempts at a right wing social network. But since Twitter is politically hostile to an entire wing of politics, people will keep trying until a competitor hits the right notes. They don't have much to lose and a lot to gain by trying.
> or just allow the openly racist to dominate

For some platforms, that's a feature, not a bug.

A caution isn't a security deposit (that you pay as well) it's just attestation you have a healthy amount of savings; in lieu of a credit score. French eviction laws are strict and intentionally slow so it can take 6+ months for a removal order. Landlords want assurances you won't turn into a squatter, so having a longterm, secure job or rich family checks that box.
That's also a point of criticism for me. But I don't think either way is the default way. It very much depends on your personality and your innermost values.

How to add my address to Google Maps?
When searching for my address on Google maps it resolves it into another address (same street name, but 15 km away in a city).
I tried to correct this using maps but this was rejected. This was 3 years ago. I tried again today, but it looks like same procedure which probably will be rejected as well.

Webshops can't resolve my address and suggest delivery to the other address. When they got it right the delivery people first go to the other address and call my confused that the name doesn't match.

Anything a mortal can do to fix this? Google doesn't appear to have any kind of user support besides community support.

Does Firefox not support multiple profiles anymore? I would have thought that this would be the natural solution, to have a different profile for each rather than a different browser.
There’s no natural reason to think that the laws of the universe aren’t what they are simply due to a natural process. While no one has credibly made a testable hypothesis on what this process would be as of yet. However I don’t have reason to believe this would be impossible to test.
It doesn't matter what git supports if I'm bisecting into history where the tests don't run cleanly on every commit. Now I don't know whether the test case I'm bisecting with is broken because it's revealing the bug or if it's broken because the commit is broken. git bisect is literally mathematically useless if you get even a single --good or --bad wrong.

I’m not the person you’re replying to but I don’t really read the comment as being specifically about race at all? I think what they’re getting at is that an app made by and for one “identity group” (and it could be any identity group) is an app that’s intentionally not optimized for diversity and that lack of diversity (no matter how it’s defined) might have some unexpected consequences.
> the consensus is generally that the US doesn't give much holiday to staff and that Europe is more generous.

That's correct, the US has 0 legal holidays, everything is contractual. That typically means around 7-8 days and builds up with seniority.

It's pretty poor: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ebs.t05.htm

But anything contractual for the most in-demand jobs (such as software engineers today), is way better than the minimum legal standard or the average contractual standard. From pay to insurance to holidays to things like housing, free food, sports and mental counseling.

The basic rule is that you're better off in a more unequal society when you're at the top, and better off in a more equal society when you're at the bottom. There's of course a limit to this logic.

Then if you take the software devs that tend to frequent HN, (the majority of devs at a FAANG firm will know of HN and visit it from some to time), you're looking at say the top quartile among software devs. It's quite clear that most software devs are better off in the US in many respects, and that their holiday perks can be way better than the average American or European. Plenty of great software companies in the US offer unlimited time off. Most people don't really use it though, it's more a cultural thing.
It's solved. Can you please check if it works for you? Thanks a lot :)
