Absolutely yes. The apollo's feat, of landing a lander in a different body, with people in it, and making sure that lander lifted off the moon, and got back home safe was astonishing accomplishment.

Especially with the rudimentary computers and calculations of the time. The James Web Telescope, is a great feat, but not in the same league as the moon landings.
Ask HN: People that changed careers out of tech, what did you end up doing?
working for yourself, will likely be more hours more stress, more cause for burnout than working for someone else. I'm not saying it's not worth it, it obviously depends on the individual and various factors in and out of your control. But I'm just cautioning that being your own boss isn't the rose petal life you may hope for.
I am approximately 30 if that's what you meant. I think a 0.001% success rate is pretty good for revolutionary technologies and I'm glad to have those successes. I think it is wrong to downplay the importance of the failed attempts just to increase that success rate. More absolute successes is strictly better than a higher success rate.
This always amazes me to hear from non-IT people. I’ve spent so much of my life being forced to use Cybernetting AnyOffice* that I can’t see how anybody would have been exposed to anything else without being part of some rogue nerd culture.

Good on you, man, and honestly, I should be the last to take advice from, but you might benefit from a serious skills check-in to see what your real deck of cards is. Sit down and do it with someone who likes you and wants you to succeed, because it seems like you might not be in a state to evaluate yourself favorably. You might discover that you’re sitting at the top and selling yourself into the bottom. I did this, and it was disastrous for my career. There’s probably an upward step you’re not seeing.

I wonder what the methodology was. The vast majority of people use tiktok on mobile, so surely it can't be actual website visits. If it's requests, then that's a fairly arbitrary metric as it depends mostly on the service's architecture. And if it's data volume, then obviously tiktok would win as it serves videos rather than text with some images like google search.

On a different note, did tiktok not click for anyone else? I'm seemingly the target audience, but the content served just didn't work for me. Most of it was uninteresting and even after consistently swiping away the content that I disliked the praised algorithm kept showing more of the same.
And so ther revert the ones done in the past I hope...
Admittedly I'm using an adblocker and didn't notice the latter problem, which sounds annoying. But I don't see why the former is a problem on its own.
So instead of saying the entire idea is wrong because of one example with one easily solvable problem, how about we solve that problem?

I wasn't sure about password managers for a long time, until I read this article by Troy Hunt "Humans are Bad at URLs and Fonts Don’t Matter": https://www.troyhunt.com/humans-are-bad-at-urls-and-fonts-do... - if you give this a skim read you may think this has nothing to do with password managers, but read it to the end.

I won't spoil it, but I will say that everything suddenly clicked in. Password managers solve so many problems at once, including problems we don't intuitively understand. Contrary to other comments here, password managers aren't " a trade off between security and convenience", security is a process and not a tool, and password managers regiment a very important process of password security for regular people.

Hey, I am the developer for bangle.io, thanks for taking out the time to give a thorough feedback.

> - This checkout is taking awhile

This is because the project is using the zero-install yarn feature which checks in node_modules to the git repository.

> Is the app slower in dev mode? It took about 20+ seconds to load the "Getting Started" page. Edit: Ah, it's vite installing dependencies and reloading the page... that's not a good first impression. It reloaded the page at least 5-6 times on first load.

This is a known problem that I have documented in the CONTRIBUTING.md [1], please note that this is due to an upstream dependency and any dev reloads are nearly instantaneous.

> - Seriously, you remapped ctrl-r? I don't think that is a good idea.

That's a good callout, I will be fixing it.

> - Oof, a page load transferred 13.76MB of data... for a bangle instance with no data. I don't think this is excusable, because a production instance of NodeBB (to use a biased example, of course) clocks in at only 2.17MB. Like bangle, NodeBB also focuses on speed.

This is for the development version (when you do `yarn start`), the production version that is at http://app.bangle.io (or `yarn build`) clocks in around 800kb.

Again, I really appreciate your feedback and will be working on improving it right away.

Thanks <3

In some cases, they changed other licenses to MIT. That would then allow them to train their AI models on this source code, or redistribute a closed-source monetized GPL rip-off.

Team A) makes a mistake and changes the license.
Team B) uses the fork under its new license and forgets to check the original branch's license.

Two honest mistakes leading to a de-GPL-ed library.
The price differential reflects the high cost of devoting space to parking, not of the demand for it.

A parking space require not only the square footage for the car, but also the lane to get to the parking space. A constructed parking space is equivalent to 1-2 bedrooms worth of living space, which is a huge difference in real estate prices.

Copying my own comment in lobste.rs a few minutes ago: https://lobste.rs/s/db5t25/pinouts_book#c_ntyhse

This is brilliant, and I think it would get more attention if they mentioned up front that it is licensed under Creative Commons cc-by-sa.

Some years ago I thought about downloading the whole of pinouts.ru (not this pinouts.org) to encode all the connectors as a database, then build an interface to it that would allow me to specify things like “cable, male DB9 rs-232-c, male RJ-45 Cisco” and get a diagram seen from the back of each connector, ready to solder the cables without the uncertainty of pinout sketches of different provenance and image quality. For instance, the side of the connector view is not always clear.

One reason for not even starting is their restrictive license. My understanding is that the facts of which pin has which function are not protected by copyright (although collections of facts are in the EU), but it would be a lot of work anyway so the uncertainty added an excuse to be lazy.

With this one there are no questions about the license, and I could even extract the drawings on the left side to SVG for instance, mark the coordinates of each pin (might be worth to semi-automate) and then have things like selecting some pins in the table at the right side, a color gets picked automatically, then a line with that color goes to the pin in the diagram. Then I could mark the pins I’m interested it at a given moment and see them at a glance.

7 years ago I did an experiment in that direction, an HTML view of the Parallella single board computer derived from their PDF, for instance this search finds labels containing USB: https://demo.sentido-labs.com/parallella/schematic/#usb
The buttons under the the input box at the top show the search results, clicking on each brings you to the corresponding page with a homing circle to show you where it is.
Many of them are dead comments, already. I don’t think there’s a flood, myself, but rather heterogeneous opinions largely based on whether China’s dictatorship is viewed as a positive alternative to American imperialism.

Having lived in both countries myself, I’d prefer America 10 times out of 10, but that wasn’t always the case. Xi in particular has been a terrible thing for China. Imagine if Trump became dictator (and was a decade younger). That’s Xi. He’s made the country more racist and closed off in every way. It’s a tragedy to see.
It works a bit like this in Swiss hospitals. Or at least used to. Might have gotten LEANed away.

I have fond memories of christmas dinner as a child/teenager, not because of any religious affiliation but because it was one of the few times a year the family of six, three of which work in hospitals, spent a day or so together. There were few overlaps of free time otherwise.

I don't remember the exact mechanics how it worked, but I think work schedules get set about 6 months in advance with some employee input about their preferences, and employees can to a degree swap shifts with each other. So e.g. it was quite common for people with kids to take christmas off, whereas young singles or from different backgrounds took new years or any other day.
I fail to see how "any kind of sockets support" is true, given that there is a networking TS as well as well-established networking libraries.

The main reason why all these things haven't really been integrated into the main language yet is because the committee is still experimenting with various approaches to asynchronous programming and scheduling with goals of also integrating these with heterogeneous computing.

Also sockets are arguably an outdated networking model anyway, so people really serious about high-performance networking will be doing their own thing regardless.
The difference is neither of these can introspect a functions arguments at runtime. C++ probably doesn’t need to, as it can do it at compile time with templates, but therein lies the difference.

Not to say that it can’t is not confusing (at least to begin with), but it’s not an oversight. It’s a conscious choice and I think the only safe one you can make.
I don't think that "autistic" is more of a "status symbol" than, say, "gay".

And yes, it is wonderful that finally, autistic people get their voice, their agency and are (sometimes) getting treated as equals (even if different). Sadly, in some places, "autistic" is still being used as an insult, usually based on a harmful stereotype that autism is in any way related to the lack of empathy.

I love that the world changes to at least consider autism as a neurodivergence, even if not act upon that. Decades ago, it wasn't the same. Being traumatized by noise level was my problem, and even when I was in primary school, begging to let me go to some more quiet place, I was not allowed. Other kids were OK with the noise level, so why do I have a problem?

If a person needs some accommodation (say, reducing volume in their workplace), it shouldn't matter if they are "truly autistic" or "non-autistic, but highly oversensitive to noise". And converse - if someone declares themself "mildly autistic" but does not require special accommodations, they won't take precious resources from you.

I wish you success with getting the necessary accommodations!

If you have a lot of parallel computation, Python may not be a great choice. However, if you're managing a lot of IO with not much computation, Python is perfectly reasonable.
Each and every psychedelic experience can be totally different, not directly even related to the amount you take. Set and setting, and your mindset and preparation, the intention that you take while you do it matter a lot.

Eating 2g of dried mushrooms can be a life changing experience, or just a fun evening wondering on about the world. It can even not work at all, or give you just a slight feeling of being in an altered state.

Personally, after experiencing mushrooms and other psychedelics over a 10 year period of time, these days even a small under 1g dose can bring a very strong experience.

Depends a lot also what you have eaten before the experience, how you have prepared for it etc etc .. maybe the headache is something that the mushrooms just brought to the surface in that moment, might not happen on your second time.
How specifically did it help with your social anxiety?
Even that is the wrong statistic to look at.

The number of homicides that go undetected in the first place is at least as important, if not more. In Germany, police claim that they solve 94% of homicides, but there are estimates that around half don't get discovered...
IANAL, but I don't believe that would qualify as entrapment.

> Don’t assume anything about an autistic person.

But yet the author describes herself as an "autist," so presumably the author does believe we can make some reasonable assumptions about what being autistic means -- what would be the point of using that label otherwise?

I think the point here is that some of one's assumptions will be wrong and that you should flexibly adapt rather than stick with your initial assumptions? I would agree with that.

Similar. I think because I've always been "kind of weird", and eternally baffled at so-called "normal" people expecting everybody to be like them. Like, we're allowed to be different, right? In practice you'll be ostracized. Unless you get an official diagnosis. Then you're allowed to be weird. Thanks for "accommodating" me, society. But how about we just don't structure it in such a stupid way in the first place? "No, you weirdo, stop being unreasonable. Go back to watching football."

That said, labels can be useful. If other people that are similarly weird have found some tactic (or substance) useful, you might also find it useful. For me, "aha, it's ADHD!" was a huge breakthrough, because it gave me a general direction to search for answers (and meds).

So, uh, to summarize: labels can be useful, but I wish society was not structured in such a neurotypical-centric way. Just let people be different. e.g. If someone says "I don't work well in an open-plan office", just believe them. They shouldn't need a doctor's note.
You have to take "companies doing good" always with a grain of salt. They're profit seeking companies, who act aggressively in their own interests.

It doesn't have to be a debate on "good vs evil" I've always hated those terms applied in these contexts, it's childish and for the naive. Fix the problem and move on.
Many thanks to your wife for carrying on caring for the sick and dying. Especially in times like these. There are many people that actively think about healthcare workers and the unrelenting work that it entails.
My understanding is that even if police were running that site it would still be fine, unless the site is actively reaching out to people encouraging them.

Standing on the corner selling drugs to people who ask: ok

Standing on the corner, asking people "hey, wanna buy some weed": borderline but probably still not entrapment

Standing on the corner, asking people "hey, wanna buy some weed", then pestering those who say "no thanks": Entrapment.

An undercover agent becoming a friend with someone, then pressuring them to buy weed for him even though that person really doesn't want to: very clearly entrapment.

But I did receive comments in private from acquaintances who had picked up on my GitHub activities. On the one hand, I felt happy for the feedback, because it was people that I like to interact with. On the other hand, I felt like I wasn't aware that this information was aggregated and posted on a dashboard page that anyone who ever clicked "follow" on my profile was looking at with some frequency.

I do use the GitHub profile as a resumé, and as a work platform. I don't have LinkedIn. I do use it to showcase some of the stuff I find interesting to work on, and to show my skillset. But I also realize that I'm giving away timestamp information about my work habits, and I don't know if I like that.
This is merely a factual comment.

Node.JS is widely known for having people depend on trivial packages (I vaguely remember some story about half the world being affected because the package doing a trim space went down).

The same is not true for C. Libraries there tend to cover larger domains.

Whether that is caused by technical limitations, culture, or competence of the developers is all irrelevant to that statement.
Here, they're changed the name on an MIT license. What financial benefit do they stand to accrue from doing so? That's the question I'm asking.

1) They’re not addictive in the classic sense where people are habituated and have to take them every day.

2) As far as I know there’s no straightforward way to test for them and I’d have to assume people who are high on psychedelics that get into an accident aren’t excited to volunteer the information.
Yeah partial reason for a job like a shelfing job at a supermarket (atleast for me) would be the fact that I'd have an income in a not that exhausting place (or atleast it seems like that for me).

I don't think I am that bad with people it's just that I think very slowly (deeply?) and I have a somewhat impaired work memory so it makes me feel super awkward because people expect a more fluid conversation.
