skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A concrete example would be the input (in JSON to pick a format)

{ "alpha": "3", "beta": "5" }

Here, the fields `alpha` and `beta` are serialized as strings but should be treated as numbers. If the input were malformed:

{ "alpha": "dog", "beta": "cat" }

Then I'd like to get two validation errors for a single validation attempt. For example:

{ "alpha": ["must be a number"], "beta": ["must be a number"] }

> I believe the system presented is the concurrent solution.

It sounds like you are saying that I'd be able to get something isomorphic to the above, so that's good.

In addition to the above, I'd like to be able to say that once the values have been validated (a.k.a. parsed) as numbers, then `beta` must always be greater than `alpha`. This is a type of validation across fields that also depends on earlier validations (parsing, transformation, etc.) succeeding.
The parent had it right. They are over the ocean because they are in LEO and are constantly in motion relative to earth, it's got nothing to do with Sat-to-Sat laser (though that should enable access to remote areas like the ocean)
I don't know how custom the GPU on the Axx series SoC is, but it might be hooked to the screen in a very non-standard way.
They also have drag-and-drop executable flowcharts built in. Undebuggable, unversionable, non-reusable executable flowcharts. They're as useful as you'd guess.
My grandpa, who died before I was born, was wheelchair-bound for the second half of his life, and I was told that he handled it well, but internally it took an incredible toll on his body. When he finally passed away, they found that his basement was littered with machinery, engines and pre-cut body panels. Apparently, in the last few years of his life he threw himself into the idea of building his own plane to restore his freedom on his own terms.

Bit of a sad story, but it never fails to motivate me past my usual, procrastinating self.
Mercator projection does not influence how far north something appears on a map.

It is making the UK appear relatively larger than it is to the US though. This is because it is not an equal-area projection and warps areas further from the equator (UK) more than the ones closer (US).
I assume there are plenty, but you'd be competing against John Deere / Monsanto etc.

These companies are in fact doing hard science and engineering. For an example of your competition:

https://www.planttape.com/

So yeah, form a startup but you need to be in the top of your science / engineering game. But everyone wants a more automated, cheaper, more reliable, less water usage, planting / growing methodology. Plenty of opportunity if you actually have something that's better than the status quo.
I think another thing they've built is a brand and trust around security. If half of those companies that make up FAANG bought them I would switch the next day.
The main problem I have is that I have like 100 different types of component, and each component appears 1 or 2 times only (there are some exceptions of 20 components). This means I will have to mount a reel almost as many times as I have components.
I totally agree with this, though I have to wonder how many retail options traders with advanced features are really making money.

> You still have the freedom to drive your car

And with that comes legally enforced consequences if you cause the death of another while exercising that freedom. That's how we deal with the situation where exercising one's freedoms violates the rights of another.

So, given your choice of analogy, in a world where individuals have the freedom to choose not to be vaccinated against a deadly disease, I assume you therefore support the idea that similar legally enforced responsibility should apply to those who exercise their freedom to go about unvaccinated, and in doing so cause the death of another.

Or would you care to choose another analogy where you are able to exercise a right in a way that both violates the rights of others while having absolutely no consequences?

They could but there aren't many people up there to sell to so they cut down the coverage to save a lot of money on the number of satellites they need to launch.
Google's Blogger still works pretty well for me although I don't use it a lot these days. (Most of my professional writing is published on platforms with editors and I sort of got out of writing random more personal musings--yes, probably in part because Twitter.)

I even fired up a hosted Wordpress site a few years ago but then never did much with it so I shut it down.
This is a newspaper that decides what the news is going to be and then goes out to find the sources to support that.

I especially like this:

>Alexander Fleiss, 38, chief executive of the investment management firm Rebellion Research, said some employees had resisted going back into the office. He hopes peer pressure and the fear of missing out on a promotion for lack of face-to-face interactions entices people back.

> “Those people might lose their jobs because of natural selection,” Mr. Fleiss said. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if workers began suing companies because they felt they had been laid off for refusing to go back to the office.

> Mr. Fleiss also tries to persuade his staff members who are working on projects to come back by focusing on the benefits of face-to-face collaborations, but many employees would still rather stick to Zoom calls.

> “If that’s what they want, that’s what they want,” he said. “You can’t force anyone to do anything these days. You can only urge.”

They can, but I don’t think they want to, that would waste satellites on a very low population circle.

Think of each orbit as a hula hoop around the earth. You’d want to pack as many hoops as you can over the populated areas, with maybe one or two to provide the basic level of service required to the poles.

>"No-code Bubble raises $100M to make technical co-founders obsolete"

PDS: I love this title a lot! <g>. That is because in theory, an infinite series of "Companies that make other companies obsolete" -- could be created!

Sort of like Hilbert's Infinite Hotel Paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Gra...)...

You have a company that makes technical co-founders obsolete...

But then you have a company that makes that company that makes technical co-founders obsolete, obsolete itself!

Then of course, you have yet another company -- that makes that previous one obsolete!

The whole thing is like a house of cards or a series of dominoes -- Disruptive Technology A takes out Disruptive Technology B -- which has already taken out Disruptive Technology C (well, I guess it wasn't that disruptive, if it got taken out itself! <g>).

You know, make the "obsoleters" -- the obsolete ones! <g>

And of course, this can apply not just to any business, but to any group or organization as well!

Including foreign governments!

In other words, why topple or destablize foreign governments -- when you could just create a better one -- and just make the other ones obsolete? <g>

I could just picture myself signing up for the CIA:

Me: "Yes, I'd like to topple or destabilze foreign governments -- where do I sign up?"

CIA: "Oh no, sorry, we don't do that anymore -- that was what we did in the 1950's Cold War Cuban Missle Crisis era... but in 2021 we simply obsolete foreign governments! <g> And once they're obsolete, no one cares about them anymore!" <g>

So, philosophically, obsolescence and its relationship to Disruptive Technology, and technology which Disrupts -- the previous Disruptive Technology!

And, for how many iterations -- how many disruptions of the disrupters, how many making obsolescences of the obsolete makers -- is sustainable?

?

And, who will be the "last man" (obsolescence-maker/disruptive company) -- standing?

?

And, all of this, as it relates to the Infinite Hotel Paradox! <g>

All submitted for your approval and/or bemusement, and/or approval! <g>

Disclaimer: All of above was written for comedy-writing purposes only! <g>
This doesn't make sense to me.

Centralized power is good (if that's what you want, and it seems like that's the MO of the CCP).

They just need to control it.

They should want Tencent to take over the world - with them in complete control of Tencent (which they basically already are).

Why should the CCP afraid of Tencent getting big instead of trying everything they can to make Tencent and ByteDance etc bigger?
True, that would certainly be not as worse and downright illegal as charging. It still seems very slimy, though -- why are you storing my CC details when I never actually made a purchase on your site?
Unfortunately looks more like the Slack implementation to me.
There's a whole host of examples. Pretty much anything that asks the government to accept risk or loss of a company but doesn't share profits are good examples.

Net neutrality is a great example. Paying telecoms to build infrastructure that they don't build and just pocket. The case in Ohio recently where their energy company bribed officials to give them a 1 billion dollar bail out.

Another is any regulation that's not done for the greater good. Like in my state you have to be a licensed bartender and have graduated from a bartending school. Guess who pushed for that requirement? It wasn't the public.

Great question -- chat is a great interface for anything that falls out of the "easy to fully automate" category. As an example, we use continuous deployment internally; but there are times where we might want to deploy a branch to a branch lab for experimentation. If that happens, doing it from chat lets everyone else know that it's out there (and how to do that deployment).

Chat is also a great environment for getting notifications about extraordinary events. We get notifications in chat if a link on our homepage is 404ing, whenever deploys happen, or as scheduled updates for things we want to pay attention to but don't want to manage a separate website to handle them.

We usually start with small commands and then grow them to automate more of the "well trodden path" as we understand what we want to automate. Because every command (we call them skills) can expose an API, it's possible for an Abbot skill to respond without any person being involved.
Big kudos to the author for not getting sucked into the Electron Maelstrom. I find it so interesting that fancy MVU style Elm web UI event loops etc. all just reinvent the message loop that Windows has used since Win95.

My PDF journey went from Adobe to Foxit to Firefox to SumatraPDF to Okular.

I chose Okular over SumatraPDF because it does form fills and saves said form fill data to a new PDF. (Sumatra may do form fills now, IDK)

I never would have tried Ocular if I wasn't on Fedora KDE, Sumatra was good enough, and I just fell back to FF when I had to do form fills (then print via CutePDF).

Now that Okular is just a 'choco install okular' away from having it on Windows as well as Linux, I get application consistency, form-fills that save modified PDF files, and annotation stuff.

But for Grandma? SumatraPDF it is.
Please don't put words in my mouth. I made the point that they are not legally prevented from even expulsion, but I never said that should be their first step. There are plenty of ways of solving the problem. Their current approach, denial, isn't one of them.
This makes the same mistake as many sibling commenters here in that it equates "new features" with "good".

No. You seem to be reading that into something I wrote but it's not what I actually said.

New features are certainly important. There is no progress in the capabilities of the Web platform without them and our requirements for web sites and applications today are far more demanding than they were a decade or two ago.

However adding new features is not the only thing that matters in a browser. The quality of implementation also matters. For years Chrome was pushing support for new CSS3 features that we take for granted today like rounded corners and gradients. Unfortunately the rendering in Chrome when you used those features often looked like some kind of poorly blended, poorly aliased, low-res bitmap from the 1980s so if you wanted a professional-looking site you still had to use images anyway.

Safari is falling behind in a standards-compliant, consistent, detectable and progressively-enhanceable way.

No, it isn't. It has had numerous problems where it didn't even follow standard behaviour or have a good quality of implementation for features that it did claim to support. Maybe you've been lucky enough to avoid them, although I don't see how you could have worked on more than the simplest of web sites and interactive features on iOS devices without running into some of the more common problems.

The box-model is the biggest example: specifying any padding AT ALL in CSS in 2005 meant you were making a choice between showing the specified padding correctly in IE, or in every other browser. Without brittle hacks discovered by tireless volunteers, there was no way around this: the same property did radically different things in IE vs others.

Maybe not the most convincing example. IE's behaviour on this one was much more logical and useful than the standard definition. Web developers today typically use CSS features that were added later to use IE's box model by choice.

But also not the most convincing example because you're talking about several years after IE6 came out. As many of us have said throughout this discussion, the problem with IE wasn't so much what it did at the time IE6 was released, at which point IE was completely dominant in browser market share, but that afterwards it didn't keep up with other browsers as they gained share as well and didn't improve its standards compliance as those standards started to matter more.

In 2021, if Safari doesn't support a feature, it doesn't support it: the property simply does nothing (neither useful nor harmful).

I wish that were so. It would be preferable to what we have today, which includes both missing features and present features with poor quality of implementation. Let us know when rotating an iPhone between portrait and landscape reliably handles basic responsive design properly instead of doing its own strange scaling that often leaves some parts of a page wildly out of proportion with others. I've lost count of how many days I've wasted working around iOS Safari issues in just that one area alone.
Oh that's interesting, I use a spandex-like component inside the frame but only to hold electromyography (EMG) electrodes against the leg.
I reckon you'd still need a support structure to hold the 50-100kg of weight of the user though.
I agree with your view on the addictiveness of media, exept that the addiction has no root cause. My experience with alcohol and other substance abuse problems is that there is always an underlying psychological root cause. I beleive the same to be true of media addiction; excessive use to the point of "addiction" is escapism from some psychological distress.
Due to false allegations it's dangerous even when you do nothing, so logically it's more dangerous when you do anything.
Farmers never work from home.

Has he ever been at a farm? The farmer does not live where the cattle live, and the animal feed is not stored where he lives. Farmers are in the barn or working in the field most of the time. When they are at home, they eat or sleep, or occasionally watch TV, although after an 18-hour day one is usually too tired to do so.

And there are even many more farmers who do not have their own land, and often have to travel far to get to the rented farm or field. And there are even more farm workers who travel far and wide by the thousands during the harvest to do their work.

Many people have an unrealistic idea of rural life.
> I think he should be free to do something reckless if it’s only his life at stake.

It's never only the one guy. There's rescue people and equipment, taking their time from other rescue work and possibly putting their lives in danger. And tax dollars.

Yes, the nitinol is not the only component. You would need things to mimic other pieces of the system, like tendons and a way to anchor them to false structures or utilize existing bone.

I mentioned fitting similar to spandex because all these other suits are bulky. Sure, this system would still have bulk, but it should be more conforming than mechanical legs that sit several inches outside of the person's natural legs. Good luck fitting on public transportation, airplanes, or even walking through a 32" door if you were a bigger person to start with.
I'm not sure I like the implementation, with threads having a "title" and the forced archiving. They feel more complex than they should.

I really don't mind if people find my stuff (thanks for the heads-up and the comment. It's fixed).

It's just that it is so crazy, with ego and money to be made. I really have neither interest, so I don't have the energy or the inclination to do much to promote.

I spend most of my time actively writing software, and my postings are occasional "breaks," where I spend a couple of days, writing about something. It gives me a chance to "regroup," and, sometimes, explaining stuff helps me to understand it, myself, better.

I agree that longform blogs are important and good, but it has been my experience that very few people are actually interested in them.

For example, I will sometimes write a comment (you may have noticed that my comments tend to be long), and a reply is made, highlighting one sentence; usually context-free, and adding some kind of "slap."

Often the "slap" is someone saying that I am not talking about the very thing that most of the comment was about. They didn't even bother to read the whole comment. What makes me think they would read one of my long-ass screeds?

These Romans are crazy.

>> The problem is that the CCP has nothing to replace this cultural vacuum with.

I am no expert, but I disagree and I think this is the kind of thinking that has failed the west for the last thirty years. I think the idea started with the fall of the Soviet Union. That culture and ideology was bankrupt. So a lot of western people thought that when there was a free exchange of ideas with China, the Chinese would eventually reject the CCP.

My experience of people in China-- admittedly a long time ago-- was they are generally very patriotic or nationalistic, like Americans. They appreciate the CCP and what it has accomplished. They have a strong domestic arts industry making movies, books, games. Sure lots of people disagree with the party, but that doesn't that they want a western liberal democracy. So lots of people will speak in favor of a benevolent elite and against populism or what they see as western chaos or oppression. When people are against the government, they aren't wishing for a different government system, just less corrupt or more benevolent authoritarians.

Anyway, that is the way I am thinking about these days. But I could be very wrong and I would love to hear from people who are from or spend time in China.
