I don't think I understand what "squashing PR branches" means (a github feature I haven't noticed?), but:

> The real benefit here is that Github puts the PR URL into the squashed commit message.

While not in the commit message, github will show you the PR a commit is part of in it's commit view regardless, also for every commit in a PR whether it's one commit or 50. Which I do find invaluable for tracing the documentation of a change, agreed! Not everyone knows about this feature (I don't think it's been there forever) in github UI.

Eg notice the `#279` included in this github commit UI display (the PR was, I'm pretty sure, not "squashed").

They are all based on the spike Protein, at least the once available in EU.

The arguments put forth to attack Russia first. The amount of military adventures and “exercises” around Russia and the Black Sea all need a justification. My favorite is the war equivalent of a sucker punch: the preemptive war. To manufacture war and aggression you need to manufacture consent.
One thing that really bothers me is that there is no install prompt for a PWA on iOS. Users have to be told to find the install button which is buried in a menu.
Probably you will just need to use your browser (e.g.: Firefox)
I cannot recommend Refactoring UI enough. It’s designed for engineers and is a pragmatic mix of first principles and easy tricks.

I think it’s great if you want to be able to bridge the gap between design projects. It’s not going to turn your product into a killer design but it’ll help you make a nice and usable dashboard or add buttons to a surface in your app.

This is a case study by Ivan @ Booking.com who you may seen several times on the front page of Hacker News speaking about the deep workings of containers. If you've not seen his content yet, have a browse through what he's written up. Great diagrams and easy to digest content.
You’d be training purely on games with outdated theory, in which case the engine would lose to those trained from more modern repertoires. Or you’d let it learn through self play after initially showing it the human games, in which case it would probably quickly lose the identifiable stylistic aspects of its initial training.
You can't reach it from the other side though there's the red pin in the way and you can't push the red pin through the grey axel connector. The only access you have to move the 4l axel is through the small window on the lime/neon green piece.
I think that there is possibility that nation states will awaken to the idea that they could do that, and have the power to take over. Obviously the idea is particularly attractive to more socialist governments, who could see themselves providing their own Amazon, or totalitarian governments, who would look to provide the rest. But I am not sure that would be the limit of it.
The double-slit experiment should be in this category. Unfortunately, it is hard to peg one instance as the definitive experiment, unlike Meselson and Stahl or Michelson-Morley.
Maybe the snow came by surprise.

There have been a lot of sudden snow lately. In the UK 50 people were stuck in a bar and I believe in Denmark people had to stay the night in IKEA.

I wish this post had continued with the analogy rather than pulling the ripcord with "the government has inadvertently created a thing of immense cruelty: this is a system that takes in people and slowly, but surely, kills them.".

Hard drug addiction can be seen as a terminal disease. The main cost to the city is truck rolls for EMT response. $100k/yr is much more than it costs to feed and house an individual in basic accommodations. The main cause of overdoses is purity/potency. Taken together, it seems like treating the situation as a public health problem with a palliative approach would save the city a lot of money as well as making life better for those trapped in it. Especially if SF could then turn around to the state and claim healthcare reimbursement for doing so.
> the US government’s full faith and credit

Increasingly doesn’t mean as much to people as it used to when it comes to debasing their own currency. See the recent lie about inflation being transitory, which Powell literally just admitted isn’t true.

> the number in the bitcoin wallet has no value itself

This is a weird take and I don’t see what your point is. The number in your fiat bank account means just as much as the number in a BTC wallet. The number there is how much you’re entitled to withdraw or spend.
So the emojis go left to right, but you have to scroll frop top to bottom, strange decision.

In virtually the entire developed world outside the US, holiday pay is a given. In some countries like Switzerland you literally need to apply to the government for permission to work Sundays.
Potentially apocryphal, but Telstra's copper cable network supposedly had its insulation made of paper, not rubber. I remember when it rained the curbside pits fill with water, causing slowdowns and frequent ADSL dropouts (until things dried out).
You seem to be coming to this debate with a very different set of assumptions. I think with a bit of creativity, YouTube could satisfy both sides. Give creators the ability to remove dislikes. They previously had that ability, but they were forced to remove likes and dislikes together if they wanted do to that.

A lot of the YouTube community is reeling from this because the harassment concern brought up by YouTube management doesn't seem legitimate. They've never proven this is a real issue that warrants such a big change. It just seems like an excuse to push an unpopular change for nefarious reasons.
> It's admittedly thought provoking but I have an uncomfortable feeling that some naive people might have followed his advice very literally, and off a cliff.

I am reminded of his GOTO Considered Harmful. It was radical advice in its day. Not too many languages immediately after actually tossed it. It wasn't always obvious at the time how to transform some structures efficiently. E.g. the designers of UNIX were fully convinced by structured programming but C still had GOTO. Even now there's GOTO in drivers etc. in the Linux kernel. People debate whether Rust should have it. Etc. Despite this everyone accepts the basic idea these days.
I wonder how this would work, considering higher tax rates hurt the profitability of a company.

Amazon does not care about competing with small margin retail operations. That is why you cannot filter for items shipped and sold by Amazon.com. They are more interested in the 15%+ profit margin business of being a platform.

Their market cap is $1.7T because of AWS and the commission they collect from third party sellers and the recurring revenue from high margin streaming services. The sourcing and selling physical things to customer business is worth much less, as indicated by Walmart’s market cap of $390B.
But why should self driving car be hold to higher standard than normal car?

I mean, reality is hard also for humans.

Like all these human driver stuck on the highway over night because they didn't think snow would block their car.

What if something really unexpected happen? Actually autonomous car has more likelihood to react and stop the car in time than a human driver.
So far it has not been an issue. In five years of building sites this way, I have not had a single case where the font rendering was noticeably off.

There is one big fat glaring exception: Safari for Mac doesn't resize fonts exactly, but instead uses a series of steps.

This means that when the page is resized, the text changes size slightly. I had to do a little back-end magic to compensate for this.

You can see for yourself by opening this in Safari and resizing the window:

‹html›‹body style="font-size:5vw"›‹div width=100%›

Slowly drag the side of the window‹br›
and watch when the font changes size‹br›
‹br›
In Safari it jumps, in any other browser it's smooth

‹/div›‹/body›‹/html›

You'll have to swap out the tags — I replaced the real brackets with French single quotes to make it appear correctly (possibly not necessary).

I don't know where you live but I live in western Europe and almost every household owns a car that they park somewhere on the street. There almost no charging stations around. Now I just can't imagine a universe where every street has enough chargers for EVERY single household. That's just utopic.
That code does not work, it won't even compile with `-Mstrict`.
Even so, the patterns I really enjoy using with GraphQL make heavy use of interfaces and unions; and I’ve yet to see any automatic “data model to schema” tool make use of them.
Yep, agree with this. It was surprising to me to find out how large the error bars were in computer evaluations of their own games. In the last TCEC superfinal, for example, the majority of the draws saw at least one position with an evaluation higher than +/-1.0, and 3 of the 26 decisive games came after a 0.0 evaluation. I assume that margin should be even bigger in human games, so it’s hard to see what there is to learn (outside some fun lines) from looking at these numbers outside of opening prep.

As for the tablebase question, it would be nice to see win/forced-draw probabilities from engines instead of the increasingly artificial material evaluation.
If you look up Robert Peip, he's detailing a huge amount of what he's doing as he builds his PSX core. It's a combination of work done on emulators, getting expert feedback on the MiSTer, previous work on supported chips and docs from where ever he can find them. It's pretty incredible, I've supported him on patreon for about a year and have been exposed to so much interesting work.
> Try that with Fiat.

You're going to have to be more specific. Real money is a big place. LMAX does more transactions per second than all of BTC does in a week.

In many cases, instant final settlement is a liability, not a feature. Being able to reverse and compensate bad transactions is part of what provides confidence in the system we have today.

If all credit card transactions were immediate, final and non-negotiable, I suspect it would have a chilling effect on consumer behavior.
> Umberto Eco and Roland Barthes were unavailable for comment.

Well yes, they're dead.

EDIT: look, I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe am I misunderstanding something about how to use the expression "... were unavailable for comment" in general, but I find it very strange to apply it to two people who passed away. It sounds as if the author means to imply that that's no excuse for them to not respond.
Essentially you need loose electrons to conduct.
Serious answer I've heard many times. For anyone on the coast from Texas to Florida, it means being able to evacuate a hurricane. This means the possibility of sitting in traffic for 12 hours to travel 300 miles.

I think the concern flows in the opposite direction.

If a new technology comes out, and tons of people on HN all evaluated it and found tons of fundamental flaws, readers generally engage and are appreciative of it. They're glad for the analysis, their glad they didn't end up using it on their job and all the problems it will cause. They see those same problems and realize a different approach is needed because that tech is flawed. Sharing of concerns is seen as a positive, and appreciated by the community.

However when that same process happens with one specific tech, the exact opposite response occurs. People appear to become upset when others helpfully point out the fundamental flaws. And while I can't guarantee intent behind that response, the fundamental difference to me appears to be that those who don't like to hear the criticisms are those who would personally profit if the tech worked out. Not exactly unbiased observers.

If HN criticized some Big Tech company's new tech, and the people defending it and ignoring the arguments and responding in HN saying "that flaw isn't true", or "stop being so negative" were the PR people the work for Big Tech, the HN response would be similar.

Reasonable criticism on HN usually leads to appreciation and understanding. Reasonable criticism of crypto, leads to people who would profit getting upset and complaining about "the negativity" and "why don't the just believe."

And all of that is without even getting into the issue of all the negative externalities of crypto that most tech doesn't have. It's not only that its impacting those in it, but via fraud, electricity, gpus, poor capital allocation,... it will have significant negative real world impact.
Why punish a scientist for defending science?

Funny. When I drive a regular car, gas stations are available all the time, at short notice. With a throughput of possibly hundreds of cars an hour.
Those language requirements never never never mean fluency. They mean the ability to read an academic paper in that language, with a dictionary in hand, a skill you can develop for almost any language in a few months, more for languages with unusual writing systems

I've been using Blender for as long as I've been using computers. I learned 3D modelling including level design, learned programming by making small games with BGE, used it to make a client's business card stand out with 3D effects, created 2D and 3D YouTube intros for my brother and a LOT more. I even managed to make some real money in difficult times to support my family, thanks to Blender.

Blender is probably the most important part of my life software-wise, and it bugs me that I never managed to use it (even older versions) at its fullest.

Congratulations to all the people behind this behemoth of a software who carried and carries many of the best artists out there. If I ever get anywhere in life with game development / 3d art I'll wholehartedly credit Blender.
What about scaling down? Once you bought hardware for self hosting you are stuck with it.
E.W.Dijkstra was and will always be right;

Electronic engineering can contribute no more than the machinery, and that the general purpose computer is no more than a handy device for implementing any thinkable mechanism without changing a single wire. That being so, the key question is what mechanisms we can think of without getting lost in the complexities of our own making. Not getting lost in the complexities of our own making and preferably reaching that goal by learning how to avoid the introduction of those complexities in the first place, that is the key challenge computing science has to meet. --- The important distinction between "Computing Science" and "Computer Science". The former is what we need to focus on.

Does this overestimation of the usefulness of the gadget hurt computing science? I fear it does. At the one end of the spectrum it discourages the computing scientist from conducting all sorts of notational experiments because "his word-processor won't allow them", at the other end of the spectrum the art-and-science of program design has been overshadowed by the problems of mechanizing program verification. The design of new formalisms, more effective because better geared to our manipulative needs, is neglected because the clumsiness of the current ones is the major motivation for the mechanization of their use. --- The need to focus on better Formal Notations to design "Correctness" into Programs in the first place.
There's apparently a similar type of fraud currently popular over here (in Poland). It works like this:

1. You order a product, preferably something expensive and easy to sell. You request delivery to a package locker and payment via standard bank transfer. The site you're ordering from gives you an account number to transfer to, as well as an ID to put in the reference field.

2. You list something at the same price on our local equivalent of Craigslist.

3. When you find a customer, you tell them that you only accept payment via standard bank transfer. You give them the account number and reference ID from step 1. You never ship the offered item.

4. The customer makes the transfer and the item ordered in step 1 is delivered to a locker of your choosing. You can retrieve it and sell it legitimately.

5. When the customer from Craigslist doesn't receive the item they paid for, they go to the police. However, there's nothing linking you to their transaction, the seller of the item in step 1 is the primary suspect, as they're the ones who took their money in the first place. Even if they discover that there was a third person involved, they're usually extremely hard to find, as the footage from any CCTV equipment near the locker will be long gone.
In 2005, before the Great Recession there were plans at many universities to institute law schools, as you say the costs are low, you need a library and a bunch of lecturers, and you would have a profit center for the institution.

Trouble is, there has been an oversupply of lawyers. Salary distribution is bimodal, biglaw pays entirely different than smalltown law, and with a degree from a random backwater it's guaranteed that you'll never make it into biglaw. Those plans would have been an invitation for students to get into debt that they'd never be able to repay. (We are seeing a re-run, this time with pharmacy schools.)

Medicine is a cost center for universities, so medical degrees are expensive. But in a functioning society you need physicians, and no medical graduate with a choice will settle in rural Mississippi.

What I'm saying here is that education as a market is not a good model to have.
Yeah if Safari wouldn't break localStorage or indexDB every other version, that would work better already and a nice start.
What problem does Sequin solve?
It'a obvious our society is set up, in many areanas, to the advantage of men. Additionally, I think its awesome when people can attain success helping disadvantaged persons.
But, presently, men and women have basically identical credit scores, and single women outpace single men in home ownership by a significant marrgin. Isn't a company designed to help women, specifically, build credit, helping the winning team? Or is there some metric I'm missing that makes this a pressing issue?
Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it.
The Managers Handbook
You can largely achieve this by barring companies from managing or owning even pieces of other companies directly or indirectly and taxing based on number of employees. Add a scaling tax on assets including IP and it becomes very hard to have Walmart sized mega corporations.

It’s a more interesting question to ask if this would be more economically efficient.
But what I mean is Kasparov would destroy Capablanca. Even outside of what one might consider ‘raw chess talent’, he was drawing on decades of better theory and would deploy that knowledge. It would be hard to simulate Kasparov as if he were taught chess in Capablanca’s time (maybe not impossible and a fascinating project, I just don’t see how you’d do it).

FWIW definitions like that didn't help me understand what palliative care means in practice or what it would have done for me as a caregiver, apart from its well-defined subset of hospice. People kept asking me if I had considered "palliative care", but could never define what it was. I don't think that was just a polite way of saying hospice - it was a distinct group at the same VNA. It didn't help that this palliative team I tried talking to was small and there was some administrative weirdness. In the end it didn't matter for me - full on hospice was definitively appropriate, and they did their job very well. But in the interests of helping others in a similar situation, more concrete explanations of the mechanics would help!
