> But one thing your narrative leaves out is that there were power shortages creating long outages causing substantial damage,

Sure, this is true. That was never in dispute though, so I didn't address it. I don't think I have a "narrative". I'm just tired of every single thread about what happened last February in Texas turning into an opportunity for everybody to get their political kicks in on the basis of lies and twists. That behavior does exactly nothing to solve any of the problems identified, and it stokes feelings of undeserved self-righteousness.

The power shortages could have been avoided had wind generation been properly weatherized and had we had properly weatherized gas wells to supply the peaker plants. Neither of those things were true, and therefore this situation occurred. So far, we seem to have improved generation weatherization since, but the wells are still not weatherized, so it's possible this situation (or something similar) could occur again. It remains to be seen.
Sure but then isn't the outcome that the kid clearly struggles in the class and then drops back down? There's nothing wrong with that either.
Shouldn't this be a GitHub issue or GitHub discussion? Wiki is a weird format to use for a proposal.
It's extremely aggravating that this article assumes the existence of Hawking radiation directly implies the real loss of information in black holes. There's been some work, probably covered in this magazine, on how information may escape black holes via Hawking Radiation.

Ask HN: Privacy Policy for app when it doesn't collect any data
I have a simple free app on Google Play Store that does not collect any personal data, and does not have any tracking at all, even analytics. Google Play Store is asking to submit a privacy policy: "Apps that do not access any personal and sensitive user data must still submit a privacy policy."
What would be easiest solution here? I'd like to keep it professional without risking rejection of app updates in the future. Most privacy policy templates are quite big and usually presumes one or other way of data collection.
While I agree with the general sentiment, there's a bit of pedantry for you here: Typescript itself removes all the type information when you compile, it's not about the developer doing that themselves outside the context of the compiler. But that is a moot point with regard to the suitability of the features as the article itself suggests-- TS doesn't break your enums during compilation, a suitable JS representation is emitted.

Occasionally I think I might want to use enums in a place but then find that other solutions like const collection objects or plain constants works fine enough for the purpose at hand. I don't think it's a problem if folks use enums though, it's really not a big deal.
Blaise Pascal needed a few sentences:

"When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, the small space which I fill, or even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces whereof I know nothing, and which know nothing of me, I am terrified, and wonder that I am here rather than there, for there is no reason why here rather than there, or now rather than then. Who has set me here? By whose order and design have this place and time been destined for me? The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me."

My example would be some 3D printer which you can only use from the website, and then after a few years you suddenly need a subscription to use your device. And a few years further support runs out and you can’t use it at all anymore.

Because you can’t force a company to keep a website up and running. But you can keep a driver on an offline computer.
I rarely like to speak bad of an individual, but the lead developer is an absolute dunce. Maybe the rest of the team is wise and can make up for it, I don't care enough to check. They make braindead decisions(holding packages for weeks for 'stability'), braindead recommendations (cert expired, just set your system clock back duh), and steal code. It was obvious from the code at the time that the developer didn't even really know how to code.

Otherwise it looks to be just two manager (one promoted to exec) and a manager they hired who are explicitly called out.

I don't think this counts as "rocked". There's no mass resignation or moving teams.
Hey, this looks quite interesting, and something I'd take a serious look at to just get my time back when it comes to emails.

First thoughts:

1. How much training does this need to be considered functional? I.e. I see your example GIF of writing two sentences and out comes a formal Cursor email. Looks great, but that goes beyond NLP, there is context in the output I do not see in the input. So what would need to happen to get to the GIF if I start from scratch?

2. Is there any kind of confidence score that indicates the estimated quality of the output? Reason here is that communication is still a pareto system for me: There might be occassions where it's delicate to communicate correctly, and messing up that one time might have disproportionate effects. Granted, I'd reread an email in such a case, but any visual cue as to how likely I should be rereading an output would bring peace of mind.

In any case, congrats on shipping, and best of luck for the next steps!
Alcohol use around the world over the centuries is a vast topic, but coming from a US religious community that prohibited all alcohol, I was duly impressed while serving in the peace corps in rural South Korea with the social utility of drinking to moderate the rigid hierarchies of local culture there and to provide a place for blunt truth telling otherwise impossible.

The costs of alcoholism were readily visible as well, but I do believe drinking culture in South Korea is a hidden partner to its vaulting economic and cultural success from the ruins of the Korean War.

I noticed in reading the reviews/details on many float businesses near me the newer ones emphasized infrared heaters in the pool and above the pool - makes sense - water is pretty hard to change temperature; lots of thermal inertia. Infrared would be a lot more responsive. So I will probably prioritize places that advertise that technology.

Especially since I am not a fan of cold water!
I disagree with almost all of this, but I will say have you checked out Deno? It is in fact Typescript without the NPM ecosystem (amongst many other interesting aspects)

Anyone else interested by the wording here?

"No amount of alcohol is good for the heart" is not exactly the same as saying "Any amount of alcohol is bad for the heart".

The former statement is hardly a surprise, but I think it will be harder to prove the latter statement.
When I first heard about LIBOR in 2002, I was surprised that the number is just based on a survey of bankers. Surely there would be accuracy issues with that?

But at that time I was young and had no finance experience, so though that the adults in the room knew best. Turns out not!

I don't think the base problem is that people shaded their numbers one way or another, it's that the system is designed wrong.
The opposite of Calvinist ideas about salvation, yes, but very much in line with culturally-Calvinist ideas about how to live your life. No branch of Christianity can be reduced to its soteriology without distorting it beyond recognition.
Thanks, Mike! I don't really have a good answer here. It was on our list of diets we considered, but we ended up prioritizing vegan given the plant based phenomena going on at the moment. It's still on the roadmap.
I have the same feelings toward extensions as well. The same applies to mobile apps as well. I see people install extension/apps willy nilly just to try them out or for the lulz. For me to install, there must be a need being served that is worth the risk. Trusted adblockers qualify. That's pretty much all of the browser extensions I'm willing to risk.

>Israel maintains the right to march its military or police inside the West Bank or Gaza or to bomb them without considering this an act of war.

No we don't. These are acts of war. We're at war with Palestine.

>The withdrawal from Gaza was also not some gesture of autonomy towards Palestine as you make it out to be.

I didn't say anything about motives. I said we took our soldiers and settlers out of Gaza. That is a material fact.

>Would you not say that China was occupying Taiwan, or at least doing something very very close to it?

I would say that China was blockading or besieging Taiwan, with which it was at war, and would apply the same terms for Israel's war against Gaza.

>It's also important to note that Israel itself does not recognize Palestine as a state, so it is very hard to see by what measure Israel could claim that it is at war with Palestine.

This is metaphysical special pleading.

> Customers care about the outcome, not the internal process.

This is true though there's only so much technical debt and internal process chaos you can create before it affects the outcome. It's a leading indicator, so by the time customers are feeling that pain you've got a lot of work in front of you before you can turn it around, if at all, and customers are not going to be happy for that duration.

Technical debt is not something to completely defeat or completely ignore, instead it's a tradeoff to manage.

> If i had a account there, i wouldn't allow them to use my money to cover this.

They're...not going to ask your permission?

If you have an account there, they have a large central pile of assets, and a database row saying that you are entitled to X amount of those assets. Someone else has a database row saying that they are entitled to Y amount of those assets.

If someone breaks into the other account, and makes an illicit transfer, then Y goes down and the central pile of assets goes down. If crypto.com makes the other account whole, they simply increase Y back to the original amount. But the central pile of assets hasn't gone up accordingly. They just used "your money" to cover this, and they don't ask you for permission.

When you go to them later and say: "I want to withdraw my X somewhere else", they might say: "I'm sorry, we don't have X right now". That's a run on the bank.

Fortunately, we have protections around specific institutions to prevent these kinds of situations. Capitalization requirements, FDIC, etc. Unfortunately, if you have an account with crypto.com, none of those protections exist for you. You're banking on them having the funds when you ask to withdraw them.
I appreciate this take on note-taking in comparison to other apps, a lot of things are done messily and scrappily, whereas knowledge gardens feel like overkill sometimes.
Banning alcohol didn't work out so well the last time we tried it and I seriously doubt it would go any better if we tried it again now.

This doesn't really answer the question. Even if there isn't a free register the value could be stored on the stack and avoid the syscall overhead. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what that variable is doing. Or at the very least the value could be calculated once via the kernel and then cached in main memory/a general purpose register.
That's what I'm seeing too - can't believe I forgot there was a measurement tool.
Many of these studies purporting to show a benefit from drinking included a sizable sample of people in the non-drinking group who had stopped for health reasons. In other words, they were probably told at some time in the past that they'd destroy their liver if they kept it up, indicating some level of damage to the body. In a society where some level of drinking alcohol is the norm, the non-drinking group has an overrepresentation of these people which skews the results.

> How effective are patents at protecting an under-funded inventor?

Also, how effective is not having a patent at protecting an under-funded inventor?

There are ample cases of smaller inventors getting decent payouts from bigger companies stealing the invention, often after having been shown it be the small guy trying to find a way to bring to market.

And, if the patent is really valuable, small guys can often find bigger guys to fund patent suits for a cut of the return, just like any business.

Not having a patent is not a gain for a small time inventor. When I have done startup style things, I was constantly asked if I have patents. It enables investors to have more leverage to protect the startup from outright copying from bigger, better funded companies.
> You're expected to drink? For religious reasons?

Nah, I won't even say "peer pressure" either, but more of a "fuck it it's New Years" attitude. Not uncommon (at least amongst my friend group) to have a shot of whisky or something at midnight on NYE.

Again though, it's on the order of 1-2 shots, and I'm a pretty tall guy, so it's certainly not enough to get me intoxicated or anything like that.
That is definitely true but I would suggest that it is a societal choice about basic values that makes it so. I'm not saying I personally disagree with that choice but we should see it as one rather than just the obvious.

Schools could be like other institutions which focus their attention and assess themselves based on the best they produce. Even some schools are like this (or American schools anyway) with sports. Is Coach worrying about how good the average student is at basketball, or the lowest quartile? I think not.

We have decided that it is essential that everyone reaches a minimum level, that the average performance should reach a certain level and that these two things are very important and much more so than making sure that the very best students can reach their maximum level.

Again, I'm not saying I think that is wrong. In a democracy, it has a lot going for it, but it isn't the only way to run a society either.
Yes but those extra steps are material in handling the DDOS because of differences in time, effort, and expertise required to get them setup. The work required to handle a UDP flood when your application is TCP only is different than a highly motivated attacker with the resources to do a TCP-based attack that looks like legitimate traffic.

Yep. You don't have to go that far. A decade back it was thought that red meat causes cancer, specifically intestinal cancer. Lots of health guidelines reflected that. It has all fallen apart in the last 2-3 years.
Probably not going to get a chance to RTFA, but yeah, I know there's some stuff. I think it was looking like nicotine could be helpful in regulating some mood problems and similar stuff. Kinda like ADHD meds or anti-depressants. There may be some stress relieving effects, although I wouldn't be surprised if there's more stress in the long term (from constantly managing withdrawl)

Anyway, we're at the point with nicotine where virtually no one is willing to entertain the idea of recommending people consume "just a little". Maybe we should be that way with alcohol, too.
