> In fact, Erlang was so simple I was able to read it before I even knew what it was. I learned it by digging into the RabbitMQ source code.

No matter what language I'm programming (including elixir), my pseudocode in design documents is always written in a pidgin erlang. It's simple, direct, discourages side-effects and encourages composability. Its building blocks (and syntax) also make it easy to describe abstract data types and schemas.
There are a lot of reasons for this transition, and it didn't came without analyzing diligently different factors, including their preferences.
Some large studios are using successfully Linux as their main driver on the pipeline, so we know it can be done.
It's so superior that even their CFO prefers to use Apple instead.
You never touch your main revenue/profit stream. Bad for short term share holder happiness.
I disagree that making setup easier for the uninitiated is good.

The uninitiated should begin with a bare-bones text editor and a shell prompt. If you don't understand what is happening from that level, you will never understand what is going on in complicated frameworks. You will be the programming equivalent of your grandmother who thinks Facebook is the internet.
> The labor of these employees could have instead been directed towards build infrastructure, nursing, childcare, or any other number of jobs which generate real and persistent wealth which compounds across generations.

This is a silly yardstick. There are countless jobs like that. Probably half the people on HN don't have those jobs, and aren't employed by the super rich. If you're choosing who to criticise and then making up criticisms, and don't care if those criticisms also apply to countless other situations, then that's unlikely to be convincing. Except to those looking for a reason to justify their preconceptions.
GitS SAC 2045 has a scene with Togusa being exposed to augmented reality advertising while investigating the major's disappearance. Advertising fed directly to his brain through his optic nerves and it's even more annoying than internet popups.

NB. This is ongoing antitrust litigation, not privacy litigation. Journalists and the public are not only interested in illegal acts (the law has not kept up with the internet), they are also interested in unethical and harmful behaviour (which, who knows, might someday be made illegal). The judge ordered documents filed in this antitrust case to be unsealed. Thus, irrespective of the success of the states' antitrust claims, the public benefits by learning about Big Tech's conduct.
I think one of the key takeaways from this was that any new institutions with a mission of protecting classical liberalism and free speech can't be effective if they exist in a right-wing bubble. The challenge for conservatives will be to accept the academics who they agree with about the importance of open debate, but disagree with about virtually everything else. I think the centrist-conservative longing for that kind of comity and reason is wishful thinking in an ecosystem dominated by extremists on both sides. So is the notion that being non-radical is currently countercultural. I wish them the best but I won't get my hopes up.
This guy is chaotic evil. It seems, he is craving total collapse of society. Also shilling Bitcoin. Small dick energy emanating from him.
History suggests otherwise. The legal protections exist because they've been repeatedly proved necessary.

Looks well thought out and powerful to use.

The page does, however, fall prey to a common issue among HN submissions:

For someone who is not already an expert, and who does not know the rest of the pieces required: what do they need to know/have to get their first successful use?

I’m vaguely guessing that someone needs a camera that can keep the shutter open, some type of servos to turn the camera?, and a laptop running next to it all night (which implies you also need necessary cables, extra battery power, and waterproof bags just in case)?
So if they're still building boats (presumably for no one?) Then they won't be the nurses etc earlier in the thread that this line of reasoning was countering.
Thank you for your question. I actually have source code and UX already built out. The product is 70% of the way there. I am looking for more than just a contractor to finish the app and to carry it forward long-term. It’s a great AI play. If anyone reading this would like to learn more please contact me at joseph@adilettante.com

And I agree with your point. I will likely keep self-funding it through software devs until market fit is reached, but by that point why wouldn’t I just keep a dev firm on retainer for QC? Or reach out to seed funding to find an in-network tech lead? I realize now that not all devs are ambitious, but maybe think about early retirement or building financial independence? Then again those who don’t need to work in orgs to pay the bills are independent anyways shrug.

Show HN: LED Website Indicator – an LED lights up when someone visits your site
Recently while looking for coding work I connected an LED to my resume site so that I would have instant feedback in the form of a visual notification whenever anyone visited.

People seemed to like the idea when I wrote about it on my blog, so I have made this into a free service. Using ESP8266, my own hosted MQTT broker and WordPress plugin. If you want to try it out, I have the instructions over at https://ledindicator.devsoft.co.za - see the "learn" page.

All you need is a spare ESP8266 module and a WordPress site. I'm concentrating on WordPress for now, but it should be relatively simple to send MQTT messages from other types of websites.

If there is enough interest I plan to do this as a pre-programmed product, with an RGB LED and support for multiple websites. I know you can set this up yourself with Node-Red or Adafruit but I'm going for a very focused product which does one thing well, and is super simple to set up.
> The most important parts of VSCode are not free software.

What do you mean by this?

The core IDE is all open source (except some closed source telemetry).

The common example I see quoted is that the super-old, legacy, C# debugger is closed source, but as far as I know there is nothing stopping people writing an alternative debugger for C# in VS Code. Jetbrains did it for Rider.
I don’t know how serious Google take GCP. BigQuery Data Transfer service has been failing with internal errors when trying to copy datasets between regions for the last 2+ days. Must be no alerting/monitoring on the service. Doesn’t instil confidence in a platform when an important part of a product can fail with no one seemingly noticing. Good luck trying to contact anyone about it as well!
No, and you've already said all this without dodging the issue.
Oh, same name so these are almost certainly related. I didn't know about that.

Butterfly Labs was basically using the customer paid rigs to mine Bitcoin for themselves before they shipped customers obsolete devices. They only sent me mine after I called my CC company, disputed the charges & reported the non-delivery as fraud...magically, my rig showed up a week later.

The thread proposed five solutions. Only the first[0] (which is also the one implemented) is changing a local zoning ordinance. The second[1] was to use the national guard (controlled by the governor) and the US military (controlled by the president), and the third[2] was to establish a holding zone further inland on government land.

Ok, I can see how blanks are called live rounds. Still my understanding is:

1. The person handing off said 'cold gun' which to me implies the weapon was not charged with anything. Please clarify if I misunderstood.

2. The victim was shot at a distance. This makes it probable there was an actual bullet in the weapon. Why assume anything different?

So I still wonder why there would be bullets around on the set.
Officials are not democratically elected.
How realistic is it really though? One teaspoon is a lot and even if I use it, I will not eat everything myself in one day. I guess the only real issue is with kids. I also don't eat cinnamon every day. Our small package of cinnamon lasts for months, and it's around 10 tea spoons.
As a developer, my problem with css has always been this:
I want to build a website for some project I'm working on, then I realize I have no idea how to design it, so I start looking for nice looking templates online and get to a rabbit hole of templates that has nothing to do with css.

Them I basically realize that css is not my (first) problem. I have no idea how to design a website that looks good.
One of the original big wins in expert systems were systems used to first verify, then help plan, purchases for Digital's VAX computers. Just the one that verified you didn't sell or deliver a computer with missing or incorrect parts saved a lot of money. The next systems added help in planning capacity or physical site.
I don't think one can assume that. Text chat and email work very well among people who share a technical/domain vocabulary and a mental model of the system/problem. But when that premise is not present, actual meetings are much more productive.
I just wanted to let you know I found this comment very insightful. I've never really thought about all tiny ways feeling responsible for stuff in a company can creep into your mind and fester there without you realizing it. It's easier to attribute burn-out directly to a bad manager, unrealistic deadlines, not getting a promotion, etc - it's harder realize there there are so many other tangential things you think you should engage in and feel guilty about not having the time or mental space to engage with. All of which adds up into a overwhelming mental load.
Just echoing the other users. It’s definitely great and the community that comes with it is good, but the value prop it’s asking for, particularly since it’s attempting to charge a college course, you can be fine through trial by fire. A meetup, or even a proper discord can give you similar value.
I think I was clear; I simply don't believe you.
I have a pioneer car stereo that plays flac.
The single-letter variable names and the lack of types (beyond some duck-typing using bold and uppercase) is what makes math so difficult to read (for me). There must be tons of errors in math papers that go undetected just because there’s no type checking.
See I disagree that it's a good thing. I think accessibility is a good thing, but I would rather see it in the form of better development stacks from the ground up.

Just building more tooling to cover up pain points by wrapping them in more and more layers of bloat is just making a mess. You wind up needing a super complex system to do simple things, which nobody really understands, and which uses a ton of unnecessary resources. If you extend that strategy ad infinitum, you need Moore's Law to persist just to keep performance stable while running more and more layers of VSCode plugins.

I also don't necessarily think some barriers to entry are always a bad thing. Things like notebooks are great for giving people access to a simple programming environment which is easy to set up. But if someone is going to be committing code to a serious project I'm working on, I don't mind if they have to know enough about computers to at least run a few commands in the terminal.
I know nothing about guns, but I’ve been reading other sources that seem to contradict your absolute statements:

1. This was a period western and could have been using older single action revolvers that have fewer modern safety mechanisms to avoid accidental discharge. From quora: “ With many single action (cowboy) revolvers, the hammer does rest on a cartridge beneath it. They will fire if they land on the hammer. For those, you leave one chamber empty and keep that one underneath the hammer. That makes them completely safe, too.”

2. Are blanks uniform in amount of gunpowder? Not sure what happens today but I read that in the Crow incident they were overloading blanks with more than the typical amount of gunpowder to overemphasize the muzzle flashes.

3. While your points about gun safety are reasonable, this appears to not be how it is done in movie sets. The armorer is specifically in charge of safety checking all guns repeatedly. Not the actor.
It's related to the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect where you read something you are well studied in and you find it riddled with errors then you read something else you know nothing about, like say the origin of oil and you are more open to terrible mistakes. But then again I do think about how past generations had their own established theories, like 'the ether', or a geocentric universe only to have those be laughed at by our current understanding. But all that is more of romantic notion that I might be on to something that science has totally missed a romantic version of the Gell Man amnesia effect. Basically we can't know everything and have to trust something.
As I read this thread I feel helpless and not sure where to ask it, so excuse me that it is after your comment.

Why do react guys choose to fight these battles in the first place? We had a clear model, MVC (not web 1.0 mvc which left MC at the server-side, I mean fully-in-app one). All these setups and teardowns were done in “C” part, which didn’t depend on how exactly views are [re]arranged on the screen. And all interactions went through C, leaving little to no state in V (only very local ones, e.g. whether a combobox shows a popup currently, or is there a div-tooltip above a label). Then react broke in and told us that all we have is views/components and got a grip on their lifetimes, forcing us to jump through these hoops.

And that functional-async thing was not even the reason for that. React could have the same “off-screen” controllers with explicit lifetimes and setState() and friends, to be more testable and composable and all of that. But they chose to push all state to transient objects and then began to heroically solve the mess created by themselves in the first place.
Competing for foreign investment is not stealing. What you're implying is that small countries should know their place, not rock the boat too much and above all else, never dare compete with bigger countries...or else. Needless to say, such a stance is antithetical to the very foundations of the European Union. The free movement of capital, labor and goods & services is a whole package - you cannot pick the parts you like and disregard the parts you don't because they're not to your advantage.

The problem is inequality is the wrong metric. Standard of living is the right one.
Okay, but, does that enable you to solve the problems you want to solve using computers? We have to remember that that is the end goal -- spend less time programming computers, and less time solving problems, and more time with a working solution.

What I have found works, is joining a group (club, volunteers group, sports team or whatever sparks your interest), and going as regularly as your schedule allows. In particular, help people out and do nice things like bring cookies or cakes (home-made is best if you can do it). Friendship takes effort, and requires maintenance.

I moved away from my home city about 20 years ago, and outside of work, I had no real friends apart from my wife, for about 10 years. Previously, I'd generally just "shared" my partner's friendship circles but this isn't ideal, as I've found don't have many interests in common with most of my partner's friends, which is awkward. I didn't consider myself isolated, or even recognise a yearning for friends in myself, but it does take a psychological toll.

I accidentally solved this problem by forming a makerspace and later, repair cafe - and this has bloomed into a decent, manageable (for me) friendship circle. I'm still not a massive party-goer, but then I'm in my 50s, so that's probably normal!
Besides the fact that the name FSD is completely misleading and does imply that the car will handle everything, cruise control was a simple well understood system where the driver knows what it will do.

It is still not clear at all when FSD will work or when it won't.
Urbit does have the added advantage that very few understand what it even is.

Incidentally, I have used this for for the ESXi Fling for the Pi when benchmarking it against KVM performance (for those curious, KVM far outperformed ESXi), but I heard that it doesn't work as well for Linux distros (some hardware was broken last I heard [a few months ago]).

But yeah, I agree that getting UEFI support and standardising the ARM boot procedure is very useful for all of us.
useState is a hook (arguably the main hook). Maybe you meant useEffect?
In real life SpaceX is a company that gets paid by other companies and organizations to launch rockets into space. They also have the first reusable rocket which is a clear and direct technological improvement for the human race. It is also likely to ensure we won't go extinct from one rock hitting our planet.

The fact that you can't get over yourself for two seconds to comprehend this kind of shows you have no clue what you're even talking about.

neat! I had no idea that rpi used a closed bootloader SoC? are there no open source hardware alternatives ?
It's not a bug, it's a direct and intentional consequence of the FTC's efforts to strengthen COPPA which this article complains that Google didn't just go along with, and required by the settlement mentioned in the article. COPPA effectively bans companies from collecting data on under-13s (there's a parental consent provision which is basically infeasable to comply with), which includes stuff like letting them add videos to playlists. Google didn't allow under-13s to have accounts, but parents let kids watch videos on their accounts and the FTC's position is that this was a violation of COPPA when the videos weren't aimed at kids. So now Google cannot, by law, allow people to comment on videos that seem like they're aimed at kids, add them to playlists, or do other things that collect data from the person viewing them.
So is there anything to be done about this? It seems from this thread that the conclusion is that companies cannot avoid constantly seeking growth, and yet that growth ultimately destroys internal social mechanics / culture.

I agree, no need or even possibility to build a football stadium to learn construction. Fix that screw holding the radiator. Maybe make a shelf out of wood. If you are brave maybe construction a patio from scratch. I think people don't realise how CSS and tech in general is about fiddling with things. And literature is becoming out dated at a faster pace than ever. So I would rather warn against "good" reads rather than recommend that path.

Drinking has been a major problem in my family history. So I almost never did. I did notice this weird trend where when I did drink (lightly) my brain fog would clear up.

Many years later I discover that I have a genetic clotting disorder. Blood thinners will quickly fix my severe brain fog.

I use a mix of prescription ones or even just aspirin now.

But I think a lot of my family drink to clear there heads.

My pet theory anyway.
This article [0] has a pretty good overview of the possible side-effects one can have. The substance toxic to the liver (hepatotoxic) is believed to be coumarin.

Maybe the researchers meant 230 Kwh above the reaction energy of pure carbon and oxygen. That makes the math check out, since 2,485/(2485+230)=91.5%, which could be rounded up to 92%. It would also square up with the estimated costs of $100/ton, since industrial electricity prices can go as low as 0.03 to 0.04 USD.

I wish I could read the source to verify, but unfortunately it's behind an academic publisher paywall.

You just need the right tools. Miniflux[1], which I will never get tired of recommending at every occasion, has a scraper built-in, so you just need to enter one or two css selectors and it fetches the text for you, ready to be consumed in its excellent, HN-inspired web interface or in your client of choice.

If you can't be bothered to self-host there is a hosted option which is only 15$/year.

Miniflux is the reason I'm a heavy RSS user today (I follow just over 300 feeds at the moment) after years of being intrigued by the possibilities of the standard but ultimately unable to stick to it due to wrong/inadequate tooling. Miniflux was my turning point.

Netflix is in FAANG only to make the acronym nicer
He was “a” producer. If he had actually decision making responsibility, I agree with you, but it sounds like he may have just been an actor who was given a producing credit as partial payment for taking a lower salary, and not someone with any actual involvement in the production decisions. A producer in name only, which I understand is common in the business.
