> There is a perspective [in Hawaiʻi] that we are reliant on the military for our jobs, economy, and security, so the state has not questioned the assertions of the military in a lot of ways, including with regards to Red Hill. . . . I’m hoping that recent events have demonstrated to our legislators that the navy can’t be trusted with our water, this foundation of our lives. They have promised us time and again that they are somehow able to think of everything to protect us and this irreplaceable water source, yet they have failed time and again to do just that.

Military protection at the expense of essential services is some of the more sobering irony I've seen. What's the point of having the biggest, baddest military in the world if they make your community uninhabitable in the process?

> How is this different from Rosetta Code?

Yeah in some way they are the same kind of reference. I already knew about Rosetta Code, explored their snippets and found them valuable as a learning tool by curiosity. But The Quick Snippet Reference presents examples to do the smallest tasks that we would need when programming. The tree of these minimal operations is shared between languages, so it's easier to compare, or find how to do something in a new language that you already use in another.

I'm sure at some point there were soldiers who could have used a sword or bayonet, but eventually those were not needed anymore.

It's even worse with virtual machines and containers. Those things can be left over anywhere and still appear as a machine on the network.

Why Multitasking Is Unproductive and What to Do Instead
I have no proof but I suspect the LPL to practice the lock before recording the video so it looks like effortless.
You have a very different view of “over a barrel” than most people.

Hard truth: the chances of you getting any of the money you’re owed, and any more on top of that is incredibly small. So small that the probably might as well be 0%.

Businesses that are going to be successful do not have a year+ of unpaid debt. And they are not betting their farm on an outsourced deliverable. The people you’re dealing with are “playing business” the way children “play house” except they’re doing real economic damage to everyone around them, yourself included.

That said, I can’t imagine this is real and is likely just someone trolling which is becoming increasingly common on HN.
I'm surprised employees have sufficient access to prod to make this mistake.
What I did to get better at 'big' queries was start by writing out things like inner queries as CTEs, Table Parameters, or (if in oracle, lol) refCursors.

That's (sometimes!) less performant than the one big query, but you can then refactor into a single query if you so choose.

Yeah, it's slow goings at first, but you get pretty good at SQL in the process.
(a * (1 - t)) + (b * t) would be my favorite way to express this in a programming context, I don't really see the point of your proposition over prefix or stack:

(+ (* a (- 1 t)) (* b t))

1 t - a * b t * +
So if I understand your point correctly, it’s not necessarily that removing the profit incentives directly improves the outcome but rather the improvement is attributable to a better economy of scale?
For one, vaccine tourism is a thing, so people with the neccesary resources can go and get an alternative.

Is there really a popular demand in the USA for the Indian vaccines?

You are the first person I hear demanding access to an alternative existing vaccine.

I am all for that. As long as the effectiveness and duration of the option has been measured, people who desire said option should be allowed access to said option. Measuring is important in order to prevent scams like homeopathy.
But if it is good enough for a visa it should be good enough for someone with a really strong preference. No reason to subsidize it though.

FDA approval has been a pain point since way before Covid. See the approval of generics, expired patent drugs, Skrelli. That is something the US has to fix regardless of the pandemic.
The timer encourages quick and dirty solutions. It took me a while to think of :is(input, button):not([disabled]) instead of a longer solution that I used at first. Another example was span[data-item] which is enough to mark exactly the required items at that level but I had found a longer, more specific selector for that first.
Depends how early you mean. The Big Nerd Ranch osx book has been around for a while.
> War of The Worlds caused such a sensation when aired on the radio

Today, the majority would dismiss the broadcast as nonsense, but a small, ardent minority would form a distributed, international community around taking it seriously that would then continue on for years and rip apart friendships and families, and potentially have sufficient critical mass to do something stupid.

I feel the difference may be in the stickyness of ideas (across a wider spectrum of merit) and what enables that stickyness.

On the topic of popular scifi, I often think back to this exchange between two characters in Michael Crichton's The Lost World (1997), a bestseller at the time:

"[...] Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species."

- "Yes? Why is that?"

"Because it means the end of innovation," Malcolm said. "This idea that the whole world is wired together is mass death. Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve fastest. You put a thousand birds on an ocean island and they'll evolve very fast. You put ten thousand on a big continent, and their evolution slows down. Now, for our own species, evolution occurs mostly through our behaviour. We innovate new behaviour to adapt. And everybody on earth knows that innovation only occurs in small groups. Put three people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people, and it gets harder. Thirty people, and nothing happens. Thirty million, it becomes impossible. That's the effect of mass media - it keeps anything from happening. Mass media swamps diversity. It makes every place the same. Bangkok or Tokyo or London: there's a McDonald's on one corner, a Benetton on another, a Gap across the street. Regional differences vanish. All differences vanish. In a mass-media world, there's less of everything except the top ten books, records, movies, ideas. People worry about losing species diversity in the rain forest. But what about intellectual diversity - our most necessary resource? That's disappearing faster than trees. But we haven't figured that out, so now we're planning to put five billion people together in cyberspace. And it'll freeze the entire species. Everything will stop dead in its tracks. Everyone will think the same thing at the same time. Global uniformity. [...]"

When I read this as a young teenager, enthusiastic about scifi and technology and curious about the internet, I dismissed it as cynical and conservative. And of course he got wrong - we don't really lack diversity of thought in the cyberspace age. Instead we managed to create a new kind of cyber-enabled tribalism. Or, maybe, one is a reaction to the other.
“redditor for 15 years“ here

And yes, in a niche sub the idea was to discuss the post, and yes, just as in class or at the local book club, as reddit became more popular soon 80% didn’t read the assignment.

We were talking about tumblrization though. I had intended to make a point about image “content” vs. post or article content, the thing the comments you’re talking about hang off of. Whether for comments or content, there had been more text.

So. I’ve gone and looked it up. Here’s a picture of the home page from Dec 2005:

- https://i.imgur.com/tsisrVy.jpg

- https://web.archive.org/web/20060104090150/http://reddit.com...

No image thumbnails, no subs, and a lot more article upvotes than discussion comments.

And of course, a post about “signal to noise ratio” and another about “the Flickrization of Yahoo”.
Rather than "complete" I would say "high level".

htmx is a relatively low level extension to HTML, by design. Unpoly offers a lot more structure, such as layers, which you would need to implement on your own or using another library (e.g. tailwinds or bootstrap) if you are using htmx.

This is reflected in their overall sizes: 11k for htmx, 41k for unpoly.

I don't view either as better in general: they are two different approaches to building hypermedia-oriented applications, one more structured and one less. Which one is better for your particular application depends on your own engineering needs and tastes.
Given the relative sophistication of it, it feels more like practice. In that case, not even a slap on the wrist very well could be seen as encouragement.
I was really only interested in the similarity between the threaded form and the proposal with all the commas (since they mentioned LISP) but I wish I'd had an aneurysm and died before sending the comment tbh.

Despite its impact on the company, I always found the lawsuit interesting because as a Nintendo child of the 90s, I knew Donkey Kong very well and my only encounter with King Kong is the Universal Studio Tour ride.

Most of what I learned about early Nintendo of America is from this book, which I still have sitting on my shelf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Over_(Sheff_book)
Doesn't sound like a management failure to me. It sounds like there should be separate vlans for QA/test and Production to prevent this very thing (or potentially something more malicious like the spread of ransomware).
Better we pretend that this fly-by-night operation is going to put care and consideration into their archival efforts?
I agree but I honestly just don’t like discord. Most of the times I use it on my mobile and my computer it chugs resources like if there was no tomorrow. But this is just my opinion and yeah, it was just a suggestion, I wouldn’t have refused to join if it were only on Discord. Although for the event in question I was not able to attend because I overslept.
Any method I can think of to replace UI assets would be prone to breaking with every patch Apple pushes out. I’m not going to say it’s impossible, but it’s probably not worth your time. If you want to explore what the UI felt like, you’re better off exploring VMs or old hardware and install media.
Einstein wasn't a good person in his private life[1], but that doesn't mean we should dispose his work. The metaphor of the Schrödinger cat doesn't have nothing to do with him personally (outside of being his creator), so I don't know what we should stop using that terminology.

If you think we should stop using it for other reasons, let us know. I'm personally interested in your opinion since we don't think the same way.

So... I checked the nbodies code.

Python: simple, short, very obvious what's going on, completely unoptimized. I wonder how much faster it would be, if it was (1) vectorized with numpy, and then (2) numba on top. I doubt it would be much less readable.

Julia: highly optimized (many "inline" annotations etc.), vectorized, much less readable than Python.

TL;DR: this isn't a fair comparison.

Each environment should have its own keys for the services it is talking to so ideally this would restrict the scope of damage.
Personally, I think it is a bit of a pointless argument. To those who believe in the contents of a particular theological piece will argue it is non-fiction. Those who do not will say it is fiction.

If we were to consider real, objective truth and not taking personal opinions and beliefs into the mix a lot of non-fiction books (e.g. many pop-psychology books) would be considered fiction too if non-fiction == based on fact && fiction == not based on fact.

I think a better view is that non-fiction is intended to be truthful whereas a fiction is intended to be made up.

What does that even mean? The Earth will be what it is. There is no 'fine' or 'not fine'. "Save the planet" really means "keep the planet in a state that is good for us."
Ask HN: Where can I find a list of startups hiring that offer stock options?
I'm aware of the hiring threads, but I'm asking for two specific things: startups that are hiring and who are offering stock options/RSUs.

I'm still (relatively young), have worked for two startups in the past. However my lack of knowledge on startup culture and how to negotiate in my best interest have left me wishing I'd done things differently. I want to try one more time, hence the post.

Short-term capitalist optimization - where you squeeze as much work as you can out of almost all healthy adults in their prime decades - does not lack for long-term downsides.

Not that it helps when parents, especially mothers, are held to brutal standards in many non-economic ways. But my impression is that that's also rather universal...
This is it. Whoever builds a study around this phenomenon will have it named after them.

Your description sounds very apt for most of the posters on r/wallstreetbets. Not that most of the chatter on there is much removed from cryptoscams.
A potentially huge roadblock to better error messages is lack of generics and interfaces/traits/classes.

The comptime machinery is really cool, but it gives the compiler much less information to work with for producing good errors.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out as the ecosystem grows.
This is a silly take.
People and orgs have a million reasons why their cables might be unlabeled. Shame on you for binary thinking without considering real world confounding factors.
I strongly agree with you, and it's just that I have i7, but all of the experiences are quite similar.
I start a trial to try out the service, as I think that is paramount in making a decision of whether I will continue with a (paid) subscription. Many services are successful because of trials. Some get their trials abused by people setting up multiple accounts, but that can be mitigated with phone verification and other tactics. (It's trickier to get disposable phone numbers than disposable emails)
Interesting. Of course some basic built-in IO or interface with external world is important.
Having an 8GB eMMC does not preclude having an SD slot. Any beginner can plug in an auto-installer on the SD card and use the same SD for different devices. Simpler and cheaper.

If that's not enough, the eMMC could even come preinstalled with an OS.
New W3C Group Aims to Dial Back the Rhetoric and Get Practical About Post-Cookie
I also would prefer not to have + as concatenate, and Linus feels strongly enough about it (and has enough influence) that Rust for the Linux kernel does not have Add and AddAssign overloaded on string types, among many concessions.

However I think in general purpose programming we lost that battle when Java special-cased the operator. There's no overloading in Java, you can't have + do the Right Thing™ in Java for your 3D vector class, but it does concatenate strings because people had begun to expect that.

Also, while I'm in this topic, the author argues they don't want anybody overloading either of the member access operators (which is something Python kinda-sorta supports) but notice that Rust effectively does this all the time and nobody freaks out because it feels completely natural.

Your Box<Thing> isn't a Thing, so, why can you call Thing methods on it? Because it is transparently passing those into the underlying Thing by implementing the relevant overload features from core::ops and all of Rust's smart pointers work the same way.

misfortunate::Double shows that this gives very strange behaviour if somebody uses it inappropriately, a Double<Thing> is actually two Things inside, but when you change it, you're changing one of them, while any immutable references are to the other one... an eerie experience.
Yes, I agree with your explanation. I should have said "far better for my own preferences". I agree that probably you can implement a lot of what Unpoly provides starting from HTMX

Not robot infantry (we're a long way from that) nor automated tanks (too expensive and bulky) but rather small, cheap, mass-produced hunter-killer drones. Flood an area with them and you could zone out human infantry, without causing the massive damage that artillery or rocket strikes do.
I said this again recently, but it's worth repeating: Netflix is on the very fast downward slope. Their catalog is wilting, the space is heating up with well-established competitors moving in and serving the precise content that Netflix originally built their brand on, and their efforts to fund a new catalog with new IP (and taking ownership of old IP) is destroying the business model that made them so appealing in the first place. The writing is very nearly on the wall. At one point, long ago, the Netflix CEO (?) said they were trying to become HBO before HBO became them. And, frankly, they failed. They are still the industry leader, but only for a moment.
Ask HN: Why is spam email still a thing?
If you've had an email account for a while you probably know what I'm talking about. Open your spam folder and undoubtably it's filled with poorly written and worded emails still advertising "free sex", "you've won", "open for a gift card" or otherwise.

These emails are so bad and there is almost no chance of them finding their way through a spam filter, why are people still sending them?
>It goes back at least 50 years more, to Star Trek transporters.

Personally, I like to trace this stuff back to early Christian theological debates. Here's an illuminating quotation:

Origen's belief that he could be resurrected in a numerically different body is parallel to Derek Parfit's belief that he could enjoy some kind of survival short of identity, if his present body was destroyed, but the information from it was electronically beamed, so as to construct an exactly similar body and brain with exactly similar psychology at a distance, say on the planet Mars (Reasons and Persons, 199-320). Parfit, like Origen, discounts the need for bodily continuity, and discounts the idea we encountered in Philoponus that it matters whether the original body is replaced gradually, or all at once (op. cit., Appendix D).
> Whether it's about wealth, ideologies or any other aspect of lifestyle: Suddenly it's right there, dangled in front of them.

And for what it's worth, what is considered "luxury" has become more and more accessible/affordable or is not a status symbol any more: 7-series BMW models can be leased for ~800€ a month, luxury watches have fallen out of fashion, expensive clothing items can be rented or you just go for the trend of "fast fashion", even extremely expensive cell phones like Samsung's Galaxy Fold series can be had with a contract for under 100€ a month.

And if you're just looking for something to prop up your Instagram profile, everything you need sans cosmetic products can be rented for cheap - no need to actually buy all that stuff.
John Boyd and Ben Rich would both disagree with the concept of "flexibility".

It's quite impressive how you've missed the core of my message.

Now bundle up your proposal, put it up on Github, license it as MIT, and publish it available on sqlpm.org (SQL Package Manager) so that I can re-use it.

What's that you say? I can't? There's no sqlpm.org? Not even a postgresqlpm.org?

Where's the SQL ecosystem?

Oh, wait, there isn't any because SQL is not really reusable. It's <<all>> one-off scripts, like back in the Dark Ages of software development.

Well if NoSQL had called their movement "non-relational databases" that would have been an obviously bad idea, right?

But the idea of never writing SQL again remains compelling to a certain sort of mindset, one which I have been known to share when throwing myself against the proverbial wall.

SQL isn't a bad dialect with which to hand-roll queries against relational data. I'm quite sure there's room for improvement, especially when it comes to generating queries; I've dipped my toes in this and the compiler has to 'think in SQL' eventually, it's not composable in the way that it should be.

But "SQL is annoying and ORMs are terrible" is, from my recollection, the sentiment which gave us the meteoric (pun intended!) rise of Mongo, and "relational modeling isn't negotiable" is the iron fact of our profession which lead to its ignominious fall.
