It might technically look like an API - but it could still not count as an API legally (for the constitutional trick) if the interface was not intended to be public.

If you want to stretch the terms, everything on and off the web that does communication is basically an API - it's just that some of those APIs use JSON to encode their data and make it really easy to access... and some of them bury it in mountains of HTML - but if the data is there the data is there. There really isn't a functional difference between a scraper that goes from TEXT => DATA and a json decoder that goes from TEXT => DATA except how easy it is to write and maintain it.

One outcome of this fight might be that government organizations are directed to use more proprietary communication methods which would be a poor outcome for everyone involved.
You're enthusiasm is inspirational! Just remember: if you are going to space with a profit incentive, you are technically not going to space, merely going far.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, this software is used for purposes that feel malicious to me. On the other hand, governments who use this software are allowed to enforce their laws and protect their interests. I'm also concerned that the US is enacting this ban only where convenient for them (when it is used against "activists"). The Biden administration recently began treating activist parents like terrorists (https://reason.com/2021/10/06/ag-merrick-garland-fbi-critica...) but had no ethical or moral qualms doing so because it aligned with their present ideological/political views. This inconsistency makes me feel uncomfortable with the action taken around NSO because it seems like they're weaponizing a policy tool (Entity List) where it is convenient for them instead of being consistent. Lastly, a ban on software in particular feels a lot like a control on speech.

> This seems to be straying from the topic of the article which was making walkable communities more mass market.

I don't agree that it's straying from the topic. The shift towards getting groceries delivered is likely to start to kill off the big out-of-town super markets in certain markets, and it fundamentally changes the dynamics where grocery shopping was a big factor for people living in areas with few walkable shops with respect to their real or perceived need for cars.

E.g. my mums neighbourhood in Norway is one she'd likely have had to move away from when she gets a bit older than now if it wasn't for delivery services. She's close-ish to shops, but not close enough to be comfortable carrying lots of groceries any more. Having delivery services means the neighbourhood remains walkable enough for her for longer.

> Not to pick on you but this sentiment is that sure I can handle groceries without driving to a store. I’ll just have some gig worker deliver it for me.

No, my weekly shop is delivered by salaried drivers. They're not paid great (I've checked), but they're certainly not paid as poorly as the typical gig worker and thankfully they've recently been forced to up salaries to deal with the ongoing lack of delivery drivers in the UK. My very occasional extras via Deliveroo are delivered by gig workers, and I'm conscious they're paid shit so I generally tip heavily.

Personally I utterly hate shopping in person unless it's something that I like to look at, and I'm very happy to pay extra to avoid having to.

But to bring it back to the topic, if having someone deliver groceries takes away the main reason why people otherwise need a car, it's a net win. For me it e.g. makes a big difference in where I'd be prepared to live as I don't need to take into consideration whether it'd be a long walk with heavy bags any more. I enjoy long walks. I don't enjoy long walks with bags full of groceries.

Isn't Toronto one of the most expensive cities to live in North America? If you are building large houses in a nice, walkable area, you can't fit enough people there to match demand, and so the cost of the housing spikes. The point is that you can pick 2: walkability, large houses, affordability.

* Walkability, large houses = very expensive neighborhoods and gentrification

* Large houses, affordable = rural areas where cars are required

* Affordable, walkable neighborhood = Tiny apartments/homes in an urban area

* A bit of the best/worst of all 3 = Suburbs

There's no climate crisis? Or today's world leaders are just hypocrite because they care more about their own acquaintance's interest/power/money than the future of our climate?

If the latter, why not decry the leaders' behavior / ideology?

Some people will spend a few dollars here and there because they feel they got value from it due to the amount of time spent playing. Compare that to a $60 single player game that you complete in 20 hours and never touch again.

Yes great story. I understand the benefit of putting cameras around the perimiter.

Not if it's renamed. Instruction 2 does need to run after instruction 1, but instruction 3 doesn't need to run after them. xor eax, eax doesn't depend on the previous value of eax (because xoring anything at all with itself is zero), so you can assign it a new physical register file slot and just set it to zero.

We've[0] been at it for 4 years. As Moony already said, development has been faster than ever recently. We've gotten decently consistent player counts now over the past month, and just a few days ago a Twitch streamer Bikeman streamed SS14 to 1,500 viewers (peak)[1].

We may only have 15% of the content of an SS13 codebase but I like to think that we have enough merits like a less laggy engine to make up for that.

I can say confidently that we have definitely broken the curse and short of a suspicious series of bus accidents across the EU, US and AU, nothing can stop us now.

> For no good reason, you can not use the transpiling feature at all and only use TS with an IDE to give type advice, and then use Babel to remove the Typescript annotations.

Babel has had extensions (including semi-official ones supported by the Typescript team at this point) supporting the removal of Typescript type annotations and there are many projects in the wild today that use Babel entirely for transpilation and Typescript only for language services (IDE).

Relatedly, a bunch of linting that Typescript did but was more generally useful has moved to upstream ESLint, and upstream ESLint also more directly supports Typescript type annotation removal.
Mixpanel will store the data for you and do visualization. Jitsu just help you to get you data to your data warehouse.

Downside: you'll need to build all visualization by yourself. Fortunately that's easy with tools such as Looker, Mode, Metabase etc

Upside: you can do with your data whatever you want - built any reports, join with other datasets etc. You not limited by reports MixPanel team build.

In reality, Jitsu and MixPanel could co-exist. Jitsu support s MixPanel as a destination (e.g. you send data to Jitsu ; Jitsu sends it to MixPanel and data warehouse).
I remember those days too - my sins were T-SQL and I remember those headaches quite clearly.

One huge difference today is that you can actually unit-test user-defined functions and stored procedures using the same tooling you use for your application code. That lends itself naturally to integration testing, and so on.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend taking it to the property-based testing extreme like I did just to see whether it worked (it does).
Is SETI really the top research priority? Or the scientists' opinion of what will best attract funding?

You can not create the universe. When building any thing new, you have to rely on current ecosystem. Earlier people relied on Kings and Bishops. Today, it's the banks and the platforms.

The advice should be, create your own mini ecosystem as soon as possible.

Makes me shudder...

I had some systemic inflammation behind my retina that would flare up every year or two, causing my retina to warp and make everything look like a fun-house mirror. (At least with the good eye closed... with both open, the brain sorts it all out and provides a good image...)

To reduce the swelling, I needed steroids shots towards the BACK of the eyeball! Speculum goes in, then the doc puts his thumb on the eyeball and rotates it so that I’m looking into my own brain (it seemed) and injects something... aargh!

Didn’t help they he was 76, had shaky hands, and would say things like “now don’t move or you’ll go blind... haha.”

Not all that painful, though... the anesthetic drops numb everything. But, the most disturbing medical experience I’ve had.

(Of course, I’m a guy... I doubt it’s as disturbing as squeezing a baby out of a small orifice in your groin, so there’s that...)
Please don't cross into personal attack.

It's particularly bad to attack someone who posts about the employer/work to HN. We want people to post on topics they know about, and for most of us, or work is the thing we know the most about. We don't want to disincentivize that, so please don't flame people for doing it, regardless of how you feel about their employer.

Health is also a factor. Health issues can take up 1 of those 'thing' slots, another thing to spend time researching and working around. I've seen it happen unexpectedly to a friend, and it was a normal part of my life for a long time. Health can also include preventative things like exercise and diet, which require mental effort (research, willpower).
> OnlyFans ALMOST banned porn which would have left content creators out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Only Fans (under heavy pressure) reversed the plan… for now.

This is the problem, at face value this happened and is now being used as evidence for the article's premise (which I enjoyed and agree with).

In reality it was a viral marketing move by onlyfans to promote porn on their website. You can't just come out and say to a bunch of Dads hey we got porn come take a look. But you can say hey we're banning all the massive amounts of porn we've got! oh no oops no we're not, all the porn you know and love is still there. We're sorry (TM)

Just like how no wives at some school are getting jelous how their husbands are looking at another mum's onlyfans... but I see paid articles about this all the time.
Removing the artificial restriction that you need to be close enough to the steel and concrete temple to go worship there 5 days a week means that people can now make more free choices about how to live.

That will result in some people choosing higher density areas and some people choosing lower density areas, but it should improve freedom of choice significantly, which is great for people.
Interesting view, I thought it happens as with computers, that your memory gets saturated with wast amount of things and emotions, so your CPU with age starts getting slower, and as it slows down as your brain does not work as fast as when we were young, we perceive time as it appear to pass faster.

But it seems according article my perception was wrong ...
It seems the commands like 'next' are case sensitive. Is this intended?
Yes, the result was something I have never achieved. I've been a part of a lot of projects, successful and not, but always as a participant and not as a true stakeholder.

Going from start to finish on something, and then getting the opportunity to hear from fans (and critics alike), it is still making me smile a year and a half after launch.

When they say "money isn't everything" in this case its true, but I had I (and still have) a day job. If I had bet the monetary-farm on the project, I'd be singing a different tune.

This is a facile comparison.

If your local mall was attempting to secure a de facto monopoly on all commercial real estate within driving distance, and was doing so by offering subsidized rents in the short-term funded by billion-dollar funds that demand a return on their investment, then you would have taken a few steps closer to, without having arrived at, an honest analogy

> Trying to argue that male teachers bring some type of indescribable quality to the school atmosphere seems crazy.

Except that the quality wasn't indescribable.

"So a quota that favored rural applicants or those who had not moved from their municipality of birth could have had similar effects. In fact, this helps explain the mechanism—if rural applicants have fewer resources on average, they will have higher ability conditional on any given score than applicants from more resource-rich urban environments."

What is pointed out is that being male had correlated traits that are what should actually be what we are selecting for rather than simply being male.

The first filter (HR/recruiting) may not look at your projects. By the time they get to me (an engineer), I'm going to spend 15 mins digging through this candidate before the first interview.

I will check whether your projects do CDN or whether you write functions with more than 4 arguments. There was a guy who put a project in a certain framework on his resume to prove he knew how to work with that framework. That project had one commit and it was titled something like "fris commit". That made me go "hmmmmm".

I don't judge too harshly because I know not everyone puts their code open source. But I do pay a lot of attention to what someone puts out there. I have interviewers who say "Hey I loved your Medium posts" or "Hey I saw your screenshots on AI on Facebook", so I doubt I'm the only one.
Show HN: Node-Calver – Version Your Software with Calendar Based Versioning
This might be completely irrational, but it really annoys me when the press use 'big.little' for all heterogeneous CPUs. big.LITTLE is an ARM trademark for ARM's implementation of heterogenous designs. Intel have clearly decided heterogeneous is a marketing no-go and have gone with 'hybrid' architecture, which is fair enough. But these are absolutely not big.LITTLE CPUs.
This is difficult to judge either way, since on one hand Genshin is a deplorable gacha-style addiction machine and the worst of what gaming has to offer. Gambling-powered GaaS is a pretty scary combo.

But on the other, it's a fabulously beautiful and well crafted open world with tons of things to do and explore, offered completely for free, no strings attached. It's almost entirely single-player so there's no competitive pressure, money is only needed if you don't have enough in-game currency to snag a character you want.

I've played happily on and off for months and only experimentally paid $5 to see if it was worth it. I have more characters and resources than I know what to do with and have had a great time.

But the business model is definitely predatory on people who are willing to pay hundreds or thousands to score a character or optimal item. Of course we've seen that happen with in-app purchases of crystals and smurfberries for years. The model works, which is the best and worst you can say of it.
That's the perception of someone who has charisma. They typically don't actually speak facts but use their mannerisms and tone to convince people of lies. That's what I mean by appeal to emotion.
One thing I read once about beans is that their effects on you have to do with whether you have the right enzymes for them. I grew up eating rice and beans every single day of my life, and never had issues with flatulence associated with eating beans.
