For reducing the code to implement this pattern, `thiserror` is nice. `derive_more` also has similar functionality, and I tend to use that more personally because I use its other derives, and while thiserror has a slightly nicer API (derive_more will assume a unit struct's field is it's source, which is wrong more often than not in my codebase, since I avoid overdoing nested error enums), it's not worth adding another dep to do what the dep I already have can do: https://jeltef.github.io/derive_more/derive_more/error.html
I know that's a rhetorical question. The opposing rhetorical question is how does it benchmark to no visits from humans and no visits from robots.

The real question is how the hypothetical caring human fares against infrequent visits from a compassion-fatigued and sleep-deprived resident nurse, or a genuinely caring parent who's stressed and similarly sleep deprived from working long hours to stave off bankruptcy and homelessness due to their child's medical expenses. Can they work together?
I went back to Wordpress for my current project. It serves my need well enough, and the new block-based editor is actually very good.

I have considered using a static generator and/or writing by hand, but Wordpress is simply better since it saves my time to work on actual content.
I meant except for the employees, of course. That's not a terribly interesting case.
No, the interesting thing about Shannon entropy is that it is totally independent of how information is represented (as symbols, alphabets, numbers, structured objects, whatever).
Wow. AI enabled Zapier to create ~29,800 variations of landing pages... Just so they can market to anyone who googles some variation of apps that Zapier offers integrations for. 29,800 virtually worthless, promotional content-marketing articles.

Essentially, AI is polluting human-written content with bland, AI-written content. This is terrible.

This is the type of thing that makes the internet less valuable and less usable. There should be a disclaimer on content/articles created by AI. To filter them out from a web search would be a fantastic feature.
Of course they do!

Stuff like this does not replace human interaction, in both meanings.

1) No one "stops" visiting ill children because this robot exist, right? I know someone who is a "clinic clown", who keeps children a little bit happier by clowning around with a red round nose and funny make-up. Stuff like this will not "stop" because there is now a "better alternative".

2) This is in the same way a "solution" like a improvised splint is a solution to a broken leg. Not perfect in any way, not something forever, but it's better than nothing.

And "nothing" is the alternative for many people.

I worked in an elderly home after high school. Many of those people never had any visitors in a whole year, and the facility was severly understaffed, preventing us from "replacing" their families a bit.
While I'm hoping that most childs in hospital get more visitors, I'm sure many are very lonely too.

I too would wish for it to be different. But we can't force people to interact with other people, can we?

If robots can emulate human emotions and affection close enough to at least ease the pain for those people, it's better than nothing, no? :-)
Looks like someone trying their hand at satire but failing miserably...
Some do need to escape from the reality to get a bit of relief, and can't handle the confrontation directly too much. That is understandable.

But, the panic/anxiety surrounding the trauma after the fact is often due to resistance of experiencing the emotions/memories associated with the event. Allowing the 'bad' feelings in and going through those feelings is most always going to be healing.
Except in the biggest of cities, Walmarts tend to be outside the downtown and poorer areas that need this service. Those areas do have walkable post offices. Some people don't understand how expensive it is to be poor. In lots of this country, the best shopping option people have is a dollar store.
It sounds like you should talk with a mental health professional.
Sometimes yes absolutely, but there are social goods that it's not efficient to capture or represent in the form of profits. The most extreme examples are national militaries and policing, but there's also fire services and arguably health care.

I know that last one is controversial in the US, but I'm a Brit and a conservative voting one at that, and over here and in Europe generally it really isn't at any significant level.

Some enterprises, particularly general social services and infrastructure just work very well as charitable trusts, or non profits. This has been shown to be effective for hundreds of years. Then for-profit enterprises can work alongside them to mutual benefit, such as medical products companies working along with health services. It's just a matter of which model works best in practice in a function, ideology be hanged.

As we're on the subject of SpaceX the NASA model worked very well for a while, but ran into the ground with the Shuttle. Now we seem to be back with a productive synergistic relationship between public and private functions.
I listen to Bach or Beethoven when I need to really focus. Works wonders. I use it sparingly so that I don't get bored.
I've seen successful postal banking running for decades in Taiwan, but this pilot looks extremely limited. In addition, the USPS has a hard enough time handling its core mission. It doesn't have enough staff, its budget is a constant state of crisis, and its technology is a kluged-together mess (as anyone who has used its website and app can attest). I really worry that this will be a distraction to counter staff and an additional bureaucratic and technology burden upon the agency itself.
That works for ELT, especially if you have documentation around the raw data being loaded in but sounds like it adds a bit of overhead to the analysts' jobs which may or may not be more than just having the engineering team own it and document it well (something they already have to do for the analysts to write transformation code). I'm curious how you handle the upstream data schema changing. Loading in raw data means handling compatibility in another place outside the application.
Is the site built in JAMstack or WP ? It is down due to HN traffic I assume
The headline and link have changed from the original Yahoo News post I submitted. I can't find it now (they have since been changed to emphasize the durability against hospitalization), but it said something like "Pfizer vaccine immunity diminishes after 2 months, may reach as low as 20% after 4 months." It was too long and I tried to cut it down while preserving the most salient details in the original headline.
That also sounds like money, except with a lack of fluctuation in exchange rates
> I think what the parent may have been complaining about is essentially myopia in interpreting things - ‘well, this technically checks the box of what they ask for’ while willingly avoiding thinking about the larger context of what is being attempted or trying to understand requirements that don’t make much sense.

I think what your post’s parent was pointing out is that in lots of environments, such myopia is just an engineers job definition, for which they will be punished if they stray. Interpreting end-user needs is someone else's job.
People can endorse the check over to you on the back, but most banks won't accept it on mobile. And then if you want to deposit it in person at the bank, they may require everyone involved to be present because there is the risk of fraud. Last year someone stole a check from my mail, forged the signature and endorsed it to themselves and it got cashed successfully.
Yeah, because it essentially happened because they stopped producing content in 2020, due to the pandemic.

Elon is pure gold!
I assume that Elon's struggles with Tesla short sellers have factored into the decision to keep SpaceX private. I don't blame him. They had the honor of being the most shorted company in the world. I believe it is fair to assume that a portion of Tesla's bad press can be traced back to some of these short sellers.

As of a few days ago, Tesla has their lowest short interest to date. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-04/tesla-sho...

The (Incumbent) Ethiopian Prime Minister (2019 Nobel Peace Prize) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiy_Ahmed turned off Internet in the whole country many times (mainly to stop Facebook), and for weeks (!): officially to stop violence, while oppositors says it's just to perpetuate violence. We are facing big challenges here.
This is a great project. I played with it a few years ago to create a tiled ssh client in Electron as a proof of concept for an idea I had and it was very easy to integrate. It has only gotten better since then with all the love from the Microsoft sponsored commits (it is used in VSCode).
I can write a comment on hackernews and have a verbal conversation at the same time (i.e. typing noises happen when mouth noises happen, no pausing or swapping) just fine. If that's not multitasking, I don't know what is. I will grant you most folks I've met or asked about it cannot do it.
And? CPython is implemented in C.

Here's some of a comment from _operator.c

"This module exports a set of functions implemented in C corresponding\n\
to the intrinsic operators of Python. For example, operator.add(x, y)\n\
is equivalent to the expression x+y."

Why wouldn't you expect that CPython regex would "ultimately" be written in C?
What’s interesting is you can see the seperate patterns on an fmri. It’s also known that people advanced in certain kinds of meditation are very likely to show dual gamma waves. I think it’s suspected that it’s something that can be trained, although it’s very possible only people with the ability are drawn to practice these meditations.
Tenants Struggle with Red-Hot U.S. Rental Market
No, I've been doing this for ~30 years now and I have really strong unpopular opinions on things. Like:

- NPM/Yarn/Gems etc is a disaster waiting to happen. Having lots of dependencies is a security nightmare and a maintenance issue. As these projects get dropped by their original maintainers we'll start seeing more supply-side attacks and more vulnerabilities going unpatched.

- Docker is a great solution for a specific problem. But I don't think it needs to be used for everything. Same for K8s. Same for microservices architecture.

- Simplicity is an important design goal for all systems. Complexity breeds bugs. Boilerplate is simple. DRY can be taken too far. Every abstraction layer leaks at least a little. "clever" code is usually not what is needed for reliable software.

I expect to get downvoted because these are unpopular opinions. But I'm used to arguing about them. It's always interesting to discuss.

This is always my go to example of a 10x programmer:

https://norvig.com/spell-correct.html

How many developers do you know that would bang out a spelling corrector on a single plane flight, in half a page of code?

It's a question of knowing the algorithms of tools that make things possible that other developers might not even consider, and how to express those ideas cleanly and concisely, evaluate your solution, and iterate and improve quickly.

And then consider the quality of his documentation and considerations for improvement and future work.
SpaceX definitely intends to increase its profits. It's management just thinks on much longer timescales than almost any other major business on earth.
Hahaha, if you think that combating money laundering is beyond the scope of what government should do, you might just be an idiot. I hear Somalia is great for "freedom"; perhaps you could immigrate?
Honestly I'll be happy when it becomes available for mobile installations let alone their IPO. I know it's mostly aimed at land-based installations where the fixed infrastructure is poor, but they'll be making boat dwellers of various kinds very happy!
I disagree. I've worked taken two extended periods off of work (6 months and 18+ months). I was busy most of the time because I have a life outside of work.
And you hit the nail on the head. It all comes back to the dollar in the end. Making the most money per customer.
It's unlikely to be that frequent — I'd expect more like the annual combined flu + COVID vaccinations being tested — but again, there's nothing in the history of vaccination suggesting that would be a high risk. Vaccines trigger your immune system and it doesn't have delayed action mechanisms which would trigger a response months later.

> your rebuttal depends on the premise that people don't view facebook as harmful.

No it doesn't. It depends on the fact that I don't know the opinions of other people at all. But I can infer that the selection biases of "registered voters" (which I think is a far bigger confounding factor than anyone is giving it credit for), and self-selection make it too difficult to extrapolate to the population of US citizens.
Thanks!

Speak for yourself. If it was not for these "delivery services" that everyone hates to love, a lot of those people would be unemployed.

The problem is this, you or I cannot stop these delivery corporations from springing up and hiring people. Get real buster.

What we CAN do, is to either not use them (you), or if we do (like) me, tip them well.
In my personal experience, listening to music is fine (and helps keep me on task while waiting for builds and tests and such) when I'm working on well-understood bits. But if there's something novel or complicated, I have to turn it off or else I just can't get into the right frame of mind.
If we're not trusting facebook (and I definitely count myself as NOT trusting facebook) ... why do we trust the engagement numbers they produce? Why do we think the likes and comments have meaning? Have you never posted a comment the recipient never saw? Have you never seen comments from people no one knows?

The advertising business is worse. I kept seeing ads for out of state political races last election; was that really what the advertisers wanted? Why do we trust the FB metrics there?

I recently added the NoScript extension to my browser so I can shut down advertising-related tracking scripts.

As a result, now I see all kinds of interesting scrips that get loaded when I visit a site.

One day visiting CreditKarma.com I saw "Sentry.io" ... hmm that sounds interesting...

Turns out it's for monitoring applications. I don't use it, but thought I'd mention it, as I might investigate using it in an upcoming app.

Tell that to the literally hundreds of "shops" that dropship goods for ~50x the buying price.
It went the other way for me. Got the ADD diagnosis and put me into classes with kids with downs syndrome and other profound disabilities. Let me tell you, that isn't great for your social life. I ended up leaving as soon as I was legally allowed and got a job.

This supposed ADD disappeared once I got into the real world and was given actual problems to solve. I think they did it mostly to keep their test scores up. I have no faith in the education system as a result.
I've tracked down the "legitimate content" a few times and these are usually trackers, just baked in so deeply they break the content too.
TSLA is the defacto method of investing into “Elon”, which would include Space X. It’s why the price of the stock is so hard to rate. If Space X went public I’d bet we’d see a TSLA sell off.
Neo – The application worker driven front end framework
You can match on std::io::ErrorKind, which is available by calling kind() on your error. This effectively has the same result as error inheritance hierarchies in Java and C#.

I don't think you really would treat a failure in File::open and read_to_string() differently in most applications. If you have a function doing file IO you might retry reading a read_to_string() error, but you know that the file exists because you know which function you just called.

If you're at higher level of abstraction, where something is calling both open() and read_to_string() for you, are you really going to handle it differently that frequently whether it's a missing file or a file on an unavailable storage medium?
It's like the sugar tariff in the US. Just a complete garbage policy that imposes a small individual cost on everyone who buys sugar but benefits like 4 companies with massive profits who lavishly lobby to keep the price floor in place.

For me music is quite different than speech. Background music helps focus. Background speech kills it. Basically my brain tracks one or other source. Either I follow the podcast that's playing, and totally ignore the work task, or vice-versa.
Bellard is who I reference in these situations also. He's a sort-of empirical refutation of the assertion "10x programmers don't exist". I always liked that he lists qemu and ffmpeg on his website as afterthoughts mixed in with all the other code he's written.
Rather than compare this robot to caring parents or human volunteers - maybe it should be compared to a teddy bear (or other "stuffed animal" toy), gentle pet tortoise, economy "robot pet" dog or cat, or similar. All of those seem likely to cheer kids up...but lack the "easily wiped down with hospital-grade sanitizer" advantage of the robot. (Or the high tech cred, or the price tag...)

An elderly neighbor of mine recently got a "robot pet cat". After her husband had to go to a nursing home, leaving her living alone. It was a gift from another elderly lady, similarly living alone. My neighbor knows darn well that it's a cheap toy (very limited behaviors, obvious gear noises, etc.). But she still finds it quite comforting to hold and "play with", when the stress (bills, uncertainty, dealing with endless doctors and social workers, etc.) is getting to her.
I'm glad your school did that. My mom had to fight against my elementary school because they wanted to keep me back a year in kindergarten because I wasn't mature enough. Likely, I was just bored. I went in to school reading and could do basic arithmetic already (even knew some basic multiplication), but they wanted to keep me back. Also happened going into middle school when I tested out of prealgebra (the accelerated math class they offered) but the new principal wanted to keep everyone the same. Thankfully I had good elementary school teachers through 3rd grade who recognized this and gave me challenging stuff instead (never made me read what the other kids read, harder msthh practice sheets, etc).
it's great project. No idea why some people do not want to eq their headphones at least a little bit. It can make a huge difference. Also frequency response is IMHO at least partially a matter of taste.

OK, you piqued my curiosity. Can you elaborate?
Definitely not perfectly yet, but initial support is there for Chrome and Firefox extensions, though I also wonder how this will work with the app store policies.
Elon has long said that the goal of SpaceX is to colonize Mars, and that he did not want to go public because shareholders would happily drop the idea of colonizing Mars in favor of a more profitable one.
I disagree with your Point #5.

Even if you and I become friends through the Internet, you may not know enough to trust my other friends, or recursively trust my friends' friends. The Internet gives us "the strength of weak ties" but building dense networks is still an unsolved problem.

Alumni of elite MBA programs build VERY LARGE networks of trust. They trust other alumni that they have never met much more than you and I would trust a stranger. And they maintain their networks over years--sharing job openings, asking for back-channel reference checks of mutual friends, etc. These networks are a massive advantage if you want to be--for example--a venture capitalist.

There are other ways to build that kind of network without spending money. You could join a hypergrowth company like Facebook or Airbnb. You could join the military. Alumni from Israel's Unit 8200 have founded so many companies, the unit may as well be a business school.

But it is a mistake to deny that dense elite networks exist, or to believe that solely connecting with strangers on the Internet is a sufficient replacement.
I think it's also because we have a lot of ego. Let's admit it. There are some people who have a rare insight or mobilize people and code in a way that provides 10x value to the company and people.

Think about all the kickass Python libraries people have wrote. Those provide 10x value across the board to entire industries.
Presumably this is a blog. A static file server might've handled the HN hug of death without a cache.

Any other sort of "stack" is going to need caching, varnish, cdn, etc.

EDIT: huh, that site claims the JAMstack is exactly a set of static pages...

"With Jamstack, the entire front end is prebuilt into highly optimized static pages and assets during a build process. This process of pre-rendering results in sites which can be served directly from a CDN, reducing the cost, complexity and risk, of dynamic servers as critical infrastructure."

Maybe. The link to the paper in the article has rotted, but it's this:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28348380/

This is a later study which found Tetris had no effect:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8366629/

Here's a review which cites four papers as supporting the effect of Tetris:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027273581...

All of these papers - the research in favour, against, cited in the review, and the review itself - have at least one of E.A. Holmes and E.L. James, as authors, and most have both. I'd want to see solid independent replication of this result before giving it too much credence.
Yet again, please, provide sources when you make such bold statements.

Navalny is not angel and I do have many questions for him, yet, I feel you are mostly reading propaganda websites.
I'm not sure that's counter evidence (i.e. it doesn't lend proof to the OP's position either, it just decreases the certainty of both positions).

The only source I could find with respect to your question is that "Students from the 19 poorest districts, who make up about 31% of kindergarteners citywide, represented about 28% of gifted offers last year" (https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/education/ny-gifted-adm...), but I do not have the primary data.

Given the overall ethnic representation of the school, it is statistically extremely likely that a large fraction of the 28% are Asian.

I also find no cited evidence in many of the pro-ending-G&T articles that G&T programs cater to wealthy students, and presumably De Blasio and others who have access to the data and want to end the programs would have pushed those facts out there.

Anecdotally, wealthy whites and asians have the opportunity to send their children to private schools without spending a large portion of their young lives testing into G&T programs.
