This makes me think of Bobby Fischer, who after becoming World Chess Champion, refused to defend his title in 1975 and afterwards did not play a competitive game in public for nearly 20 years.
Protected under what laws?

Protected under EU law. Only tomatoes of a specific type AND from the specific region can use the name "San Marzanos".

Outside the EU I don't think there is anything stopping yoou from labling any random tomato as "San Marzano".

I suspect that those beepers do work: they discourage actual shoplifters to the point that they don't catch them anymore because those shoplifters will move on to stores that don't have the beepers or they successfully lose the tags because they know that they are going to shoplift.

And then there are these thingies:

I agree. Wealth taxes seem better but are notoriously difficult to implement. We need more people to have more money… no way to get around that.
It's a regulation [0] that says that products that are associated with a specific geographic location cannot be manufactured elsewhere and then passed off as the original.

My favorite thing to see when I download a project is a build system that consists of a single 6 line Makefile. Granted this usually means the project only has a handful of files to manage and it does run out of headroom as the project becomes more complex, but those build systems always work on the first try and finish quickly.

Sure it means I would run into complications on a 30 year old AIX system with some old defunct C compiler, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make to simplify the build process.
I recall a scifi story by Stephen Baxter where a human-made probe on Mars eventually evolved into advanced, aware, spacefaring Von Neumann probes. After a few million years, one curious probe traces serial numbers back to Earth in search of their creators. However, humans had devolved back into a type of monkey that was directly symbiotic with a literal tree of life. The probe concluded that such a primitive creature could never have developed technology, and left.
Apple deciding to drop support for industry-standard cross-manufacturer APIs sure didn't help.

Unless you specifically need to target Apple, you don't come across their ecosystem of APIs, which makes it harder to maintain cross-platform compatibility.

Reportedly, Apple is "all-in" on xR, so wait and see I guess. But they're not on the public supporter list of OpenXR for now, as a datapoint: https://www.khronos.org/OpenXR/
Anvil | Software Developers | Cambridge, UK | On-site/Semi-Remote | Full-time, Part-time, Flexible | https://anvil.works/jobs

We make an open-source web framework, an online code editor, a GUI builder, and a PaaS hosting platform.

Anvil is a platform for building and hosting full-stack web applications, entirely in Python. We're looking for developers to help us build our hosting platform-as-a-service, online code editor, and drag-and-drop GUI designer, as part of a small, friendly and diverse team.

Web development is way too complicated, so we're fixing it: Instead of writing JS/HTML/CSS/Python/SQL and all the associated frameworks, Anvil enables developers to design pages with drag-and-drop, write Python that runs in the browser and on the server, set up a database, and deploy their code instantly as a hosted service.

Behind that magic is a lot of work - and that's where you come in. You'll be working on the Anvil editor (that's the dev environment, code editor, drag'n'drop designer, version control, and so on) and the Anvil runtime (that's the Python-to-JS compiler, UI toolkit, database back-end, API router, integrations and infrastructure that make it all go). A lot of your work will be open source.

Building dev tools is great! We're solving problems we have ourselves, our customers are developers just like us, and platforms have the best engineering problems.

We're hiring both senior and junior developers, front-end and back-end. Our stack includes:

* Our code editor and GUI builder (JS, React)

* Our API router and editor backend (Clojure)

* Our front-end UI toolkit (JS, Python)

* Our back-end runtime (Python)

* Our Python-to-JS compiler (JS, Python)

I think there may be a labelling law that covers that. I believe that they label on any package has to be an accurate reflection of the package's price. Things like meat that are prepackaged but sold by weight have to be individually labelled/priced on the shelf. Each jurisdiction will have its own rules but they all came from a time in the 1950s when evil supermarkets were attempting to hide higher prices on groceries knowing that few people would check their receipts against the shelf prices.

Applies in Ireland; we don’t have the red delicious, but we do have the “golden delicious” (if consumer protection law had any teeth, these would be called “yellowish horrible” instead) and Gala and other Bad Apples.

I think it may apply less in continental Europe.
> Computing freedom means you have the freedom to give up control, too. It’s your choice.

Absolutely. As long as they don't force this malware on the rest of us who do care, it will be fine.
The proposed legislation describes its anticipated benefits and, since it's a law, exactly what it will do. It's totally reasonable to question that but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone to explain what exactly they are claiming is wrong. Those were some sweeping claims being tossed around — it'd be really important to be able to back any of them up if you expect anyone to engage with them.
And not just the tools, also the consumables. Endmills and such grow little legs as soon as they're out of the central depot. And that stuff really adds up.
Ask HN: Are Service Workers broken or do Twitter engineers suck at them?
It seems like everytime I visit Twitter, only the top or side menus show without any main content or tweets. I either have to do a force refresh or unregister their service worker and reload to get all contents to show.

Anyone else having this issue?

Are service workers really this hard to implement and get right or is the tech just broken?
The EU is the main place that has these laws sorts of laws. I beleive that they will include it in trade deals so that it is enforceable in more of the world.

I think the only flaw there is that our morality came from nature and therefore is one of the things we use to fit into our ecosystem. There's nothing to say we shouldn't apply it to other members of the system. If nature didn't "want" that we wouldn't be capable of doing it.

Given how far up the food chain we are it could be argued that our morality exists precisely for this purpose.
You don’t think map reduce, tensorflow and the countless other systems that have been open sourced haven’t had huge impact outside of their original use cases at these companies?
From the top of my head before I get off the bus:

Things like proper static modules so that you know what is being called so you can elide lookups at call-time. That is a pretty big omission, TBH.

For a long time (still?) python had a horribly inefficient value representation in memory. Now, integer tagging is probably no fun to add as an afterthought, but it shouldn't have been an afterthought.

Exception handling is sloooow. And iterators use exceptions to signal that younhave exhausted the collection. Because iterating over a complete collection is exceptional.

I understand the need to keep cpython simple, but some of these things ARE simple and have been well understood since a decade before python 1.0.
And yet you've described how "range(n)" is implemented in exquisite details, whereas the caller only cares about its interface.

A beginner would further only care about its observable effects, which here would be at best something like "that returns something that's like a tuple containing the integers from 0 to n-1" and at worst "it makes my for loop run n times". Which is actually a fairly reasonable interpretation as long as the beginner doesn't try to concatenate a range with a tuple.

When I write a for loop in Python, I don't think about StopIteration and stuff, I just want to iterate something. Only if I were to implement a custom generator or iterable would I worry about that.
> Without changes to what is classified as Part Time Work (usually 30 hours), employers will get rid of full time staff and in some cases be able to avoid paying almost all benefits.

Yeah, I’m sure that missing out on that is the kind of thing that would fly right by AFL-CIO, SEIU, and the other labor organizations that endorsed this, who are generally completely clueless about the legal context of labor and how employers exploit it.

The building trades mostly go to the big box home centers just like the rest of us. In construction, most hand tools aren't high precision and are semi-disposable, so there's no reason to go above prosumer grade.

There are some specialty tools that are sufficiently rare or expensive they'll get at trade-specific supply houses. Plumbers in particular can do the job either with a $5 saw and a bottle of glue or a $500 PEX expansion tool, depending on material.

The exception is something like high-end finish carpentry or furniture-making, which is high-precision, and does reward having professional tools and taking care of them. They have brands like Festool, which are available at specialty retailers.
Are there any links or technical details on how this works?
Solar panels on a bike? Curious choice. Seems like a lot of weight to lug around and a lot of downsides any time it isn't sunny when you could just use a dynamo to generate power instead. Though maybe in the late 80s dynamos were inefficient enough that it wasn't worthwhile?
> - Asyncio from the ground up

> - Python only fallback if the C extension fails to build

These two are really big! The former, for first-party async support, making it much easier to use with async frameworks.

The latter would make it much easier to ship in containers. I assume it's still better use the C version, for performance reasons.
Costco manages it just fine. Want an iPad or iMac? Take the cardboard sheet and hand it to the cashier. Granted, Costco is always staffed, but it is possible.
Clever. By labeling anyone who alleges antisemitism as an "Israeli propagandist" you can shut down any discussion of antisemitism without having to engage with whether there may be any bigotry or prejudice in play

But seriously, ask yourself if there is any way a Jew could tell you "Hey, what you're saying about Israel is kinda racist because XYZ" without you immediately dismissing them. (And maybe there is! I haven't gotten to know you in real life)
I read the concept of 'hate speech' was invented after the Seargent's Affair. The British public was incensed at Jews after the murder of four British soldiers in Palestine, so the powerful Jewish lobby in Britain agitated that one shouldn't be able to target "religious" groups. These posts are mostly trash, since Jews have a huge animosity towards the West which they call Edom and Christianity in particular, as they consider it the source of anti-semitism, but we never see posts about that on the orange site.

There's no reason to even bother holding something up. Just keep walking. It's what I've always done, and it's never once caused an issue even if there's somebody at the door.
Panspermia is fascinating conjecture.

The preferred chirality of organic molecules could absolutely have arisen by chance, but it's an interesting to see this in meteorites.

On the unrelated subject of handedness, I saw an interesting thread on Twitter today [1] speaking about how we're starting to synthesize reverse chirality polymers and enzymes, most notably DNA and replication enzymes.

There are a lot of interesting implications.

You can't get rid of L-DNA without reverse DNase, leading to an accumulation of information and transcription. So they need to remake all the enzyme steroisomers.

That alone is interesting, but you can take it further to the limit and produce reverse biology that synthesizes reverse sugars that can't be metabolized by much of extant life [2]. Suddenly a lab-escaped reverse autotroph can out-compete all of us right-handed lifeforms because nothing can eat them. Bacteria, plankton, the entire food web collapses. When we have nothing left to fish or farm, we die too.

Never thought nanotech's grey goo was plausible. Now I see something that rhymes with it, and I could see it happening within our lifetimes.

It'd make a crazy MAD bioweapon on par with or potentially worse than nukes.

Wild tangent, sorry.

A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept (2012)
If a rebase encounters conflicts, it tells you as much, puts every piece of the commit that it could auto-merge into the index, and adds conflict markers to what it couldn’t in the working tree. Then it’s up to you to merge them in an IDE or Optionally (I think) choose yours / theirs for each hunk. Once everything is resolved and moved to the index, “continue rebase” goes on to the next commit.

I think it’s had a rebase GUI since I first started using it in 2013. It may not have had one back then for interactive rebase, or else it didn’t work for me, but it does now.
I believe if you look at their genetics they fit snugly within the tree of life

2FA/VPN SAAS | Full stack dev | REMOTE | Full-time
---

I bootstrapped my last SAAS from $0 to $33,000 MRR and a valuation of 1-2.5 million USD within 12 months. I then bootstrapped my next company from $0 to $3,000,000 NET annually and an 8 figure valuation. I have also raised a couple million dollars in total. (I have had many more failures than successes. But I keep them short and sweet and move on.)

I have a new idea for a SAAS product that I think would very likely turn into a very lucrative business in short order, with room to grow to massive scale long-term. I'm looking for a remote lead dev. I apologize for being a literal meme but I'm looking for a REMOTE highly-competent full-stack/jack-of-all-trades dev who has a little taste for design as well. Earning equity over a few years in addition to salary is an option that's on the table.

We will be building a collaboration tool that will help businesses save money, work securely, share access to accounts, and strengthen their corporate security/2FA. It's the kind of tool that has potential for massive use across both businesses and individuals, regardless of what they're doing (like Trello, for example). Marketing is normally the hard part but I have this covered.

(Please note: I'm also technical, and I don't care where you're from; all countries welcome to apply.)

My email is in my bio.
There is very little spec logic. It looks a lot like type declarations in typed languages.

It's usually outside the scope of functions, since you are likely going to want to reuse those declarations. For example, you can use spec to generate test cases for something like quick-check.

You can add pre and post conditions to clojure function's metadata that test wether the spec complies with the function's input/output.
>and never just a function of the language you chose.

I understand your point, but is important to know how NUANCED is this.

Performance is MOSTLY driven by the inherent design choices of each language(+ your own!). If you are on Gc, that choice is an impact for everything. Rust have Vectors as base, and lisp have GC-backed linked list. That is another deeeeep choice.

But IF you know (or hit the luck!) which are these designs, and understand that not matter which language everyone wanna gotta fast and most common operations (the ones for what THAT lang was designed for!) are fast enough... then all is ok, in average.

Is when you go against that design that you see how the illusion crack a little. Then, is all about how much you can workaround about it to recover most of the performance
Complex process creates more work, sets barriers to entry for competitor workers, and reduces individual responsibility for something that goes wrong.

So, from the employee perspective complex process means a lot of work to do (job security), higher pay (even if the domain problem is not too difficult process complication makes it difficult reducing the available supply of qualified labor) and less responsibility if something goes wrong.

From the business point of view compexity means, being current, keeping up with the latest tech, signaling you are not a dinosaur. Keeping up with security because the shoddy earlier layers had holes because software engineers do not output a finished work product like other engineers. Even if some dinosaurs may do things cheaper and better.

From the customer perspective the incentives are pretty often the same. Many customers want a touch screen instead of a knob or button because the latest tech all has touch screens. They want to use Slack or VS Code because that's what the cool kids do these days.

From the outer space perspective it looks like humans are building a new tower of babble with their tech stacks. Ever higher layers of complexity not actually going any place or doing much new.

Eventually it might all crumble into a pile of confusion.
totally thought this was a dev blog for the Racket language. Was tying to figure out why the devs of Racket would be blogging about Windows 96 in the browser....
I wonder why they don't just warehouse the stock, leave demo models on the floor and only get out the real one once you've paid for it.

A couple of staff to power this has got to be cheaper than $700kpa in high value theft.

But I also would have thought it'd be comically easy to surveil the power tool area and see who comes in lots but never seems to buy a power tool.
Background "watching" and ad-free listening are the killer features in my book. I use YouTube for consuming learning material (talks, online-teaching etc.), and without the above features YouTube is mostly useless—especially on a mobile device.
