That is indeed helpful.

A lot of modern languages sacrificed simplicity for features no one (with enough skill) asked. Even with Python, I can only keep some part of built-in functions and methods together with syntax in my head.

For a large part of standard library, I absolutely need IDE features. Especially since Python is an object oriented language where every data instance has a bunch of methods attached.

The Funding Divide 2022: Tracking Bias in Early-Stage Fundraising
> The 30km radius exclusion zone is nothing compared to the surface occupied by deserts, ice floe, or whatever of the many others existing unhinabitable places.

Land location isn't fungible, though. That 30km radius exclusion zone is (was?) much more valuable land than some random patch of desert or ice. Being near other settled land, and having access to infrastructure, food, etc. is important. Taking valuable land like that and making it uninhabitable is much worse than it just being a random patch of sand in the middle of some desert somewhere, or a big piece of ice floating in an arctic region.
Bro, we put sanctions on you for a reason, not to help you after they hurt you.
I'm with you, but first I would want to take my chances before deciding to euthanize myself and my family. The amount and diversity of knowledge in your neighborhood would surprise you, not everyone sits in front of computers. Rebuilding small communities will be feasible in many parts of the world.
I wonder if there is something similar for English. Of course English is half Germanic, half Romance, but ...
I am not going anywhere.

You were the one asserting that it only happens in sweetshops, hence my remark wasn't valid, thus I decided to broaden the scope of people failing to write C.

Is this primarily intended to written/read, or spoken?
There was a Russian blogger who swapped ‘invasion’ for ‘TOTALLY PEACEFUL MISSION’ or something similar.

I don’t think they’ll be able to persuade a Russian judge, but it’s interesting to see how people are trying to get around this.
Yeah its only World Trade Center tower 1 every day. Its not like we'd go to war over those numbers.

Yes, we have different definitions. I meant capitalism in the most layperson's definition: a system where you sell something and I buy something from you, then you take that money and go to the milkman and buy yourself cheese. As opposed to a system where people work for some fixed minority, and then that fixed minority distributes the outcome across everybody. (Of course, keeping the bigger chunk to itself.)
To be clear, I am not defending the action of the police, only the logic of the implication that the police are unjustly conspiring to limit free speech and otherwise peaceful protest.

>>What's being burned down as of late in the last month?>>
I would suggest that that is pretty much the definition of being proactive. There was violence in the past, quite a bit, and maybe now actions are being taken to head it off in the future.

>>Nothing, but these surveillance programs persist.>>
Yes because it happened in the past.

>>Everyone complains about the riots but never the systems that bring them about.>>
"the systems that bring them about"? This is vague. What systems? Assuming we could parse out exactly what you're talking about, are you suggesting that the violence and destruction of private and public property is justified because the "the systems" have a problem?
> It's all there. It's all official.

That's a relief then. Too often these days "it's official it's in the spec" as presented by Chrome is anything but.

> This is certainly not decided by fiat.

There are too many cases when it's decided unilaterally by Chrome.
Some numbers to back up that claim would be nice. Make sure to discern between cases where COVID is the primary reason for dying and where it is not.

As a data point, Denmark have been without restrictions since first of February 2022. There are still 20.000 infections daily, but most with very mild symptoms.

There are 1.600 hospitalized, which is considerable more than December, where there were about 600.

So number wise it doesn't make a lot of sense to remove restrictions, but I'm personally very happy having the old normal back.
Most people "in tech" don't even know Hacker News exists. It's a bubble within a bubble.
I am personally not a fan of ligatures, but since they seem to be entirely optional and controlled by the IDE, I think it would be nice to see them included. For people not like me, because it won't hurt me, and will broaden the appeal.

Volunteer Hackers Converge on Ukraine Conflict with No One in Charge
IMHO almost all organizations have terrible password policies. There are only a few requirements for a good password:

1. The password must be difficult to the point of impossible for a computer to guess.

2. The password must be memorable enough that a person can create it once and then remember it a month later.

If you don't satisfy requirement #1 then it will be hacked with a GPU farm. If you don't satisfy requirement #2 then the users will undermine your security in a multitude of ways. Almost no corporate password policy attempts to address or even facilitate option #2. They don't even mention it! Many corporate password policies are actively hostile to option #2, requiring a bunch of stuff that's hard for people to remember but only reduce the search space for the computer farms attacking your leaked password database.

I like to use phrases made of things that sound like words, but aren't in the dictionary. Make them themed to be memorable. I call them Jabberwocky passwords. Were it not in famous poem a good password would be "mimsy were the Borogroves".

The non-free firmware is a shame. There are basically no modern GPUs that work with linux-libre because of it. This issue doesn't get much attention.
To give a second opinion of a Czech person, it doesn't look anything like Czech text to me. If I had to guess, I would say Serbo-Croatian or Slovenian (probably because of the orthography).
Doctors already have a protocol for this since senior citizens often die of multiple causes. Turns out there is usually one “proximal” cause (the “killing blow”) and multiple “distal” causes. Presumably, they use the same evaluation protocol here to determine primary cause of death.

It could be read that way though. Take this excerpt:

> ALL AIRCRAFT, REGARDLESS OF THE STATE OF REGISTRY ... OPERATED ... FOR THE BENEFIT OF A PERSON WHO IS A CITIZEN OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ARE PROHIBITED...

I think you could make a case that an aircraft with a Russian passenger is operating for the benefit of a citizen of the Russian federation. It's a stretch, but not too much of one.
I recognize that this might be a PITA, but for me there is no easy way out of problems related to major versioning, and the clear answer is sticking with version 0.x.x for a considerate amount of time.

It seems people rush to publish version 1.0 (or 2.0, etc.) of their libraries, when they'd be better off just sticking with version 0.x.

It's not like that a package isn't ready for production because it is < 1.0. It might as well be. If you're an early adopter, I'd say that is even welcome: you're aware that its API might chance, that its quite new, etc. It gives more confidence than a package with version 7.x (at least in informing you that it's prone to changes, and allowing you to make an informed choice), IMHO.

Ask HN: Benefits of Working for a DAO?
Here in New Zealand a gang member was shot to death and was recorded as a covid death because he tested positive posthumously. This is apparently in line with international practices. If you don't see the absurdity in that then I don't know what to say.
Thanks for the question mariankh! For the API version, we have it only as single image for the time being. However, if you are using our Web App, we also have an option for uploading up to 6 images :) For realistic 3D representations, we train with a lot of real-life objects and then we also do a Quality Assurance pass to make sure that all our outputs meet our level of standard.
Ask HN: Why is JSON so pedantic?
Why can't we have a trailing comma in JSON? Why doesn't it support inline comments. Why can't we single quote things? Why do we need to double quote keys?

JavaScript objects are similar to JSON and allow all this and it works just fine. They never misinterpret anything.

So why can't JSON be more forgiving? I remember XML used to be the same back in the day.

Why do creators of schema make them so strict? Isn't the whole thing about making life of users (or devs in the case) easier? What purpose does such fussy specifications achieve?
That was somewhat anti-climatic for its title.
Thanks and good feedback, beta testing was done in a similar way - font cut with a few missing glyphs and was limited to ASCII-basic set. I'll see if I can extend this more generally.

Police work will eventually become akin to farm work. Fewer people will have to work in the field due to automation and mechanization. This will be the norm due to both the resurgence of crime and less new police officers.
I think the current guidance is not below -30 for more than 24 hours because the battery coolant will freeze and then everything blows up.

Based on your weather reporting. I would stick with ICE. As heat isn't free on an electric car in general. So, at the more extreme ends of the spectrum it will be hard to beat ICE
Same here. 5 weeks ago I started to go to the pool 2 - 3daxs a week to do some 25 meter lanes before I start my work day.

I already lost weight (nice side effect) and am more productive on these days. And I have the feeling I may have found a way to move more that I like (I tried a lot but nothing stuck more than 2 or 3 weeks).

Also I tend to sit at the screen too long. And be it watching YouTube videos in the evening.
In this war it is very clear who is the aggressor. Attacking another country just to increase the potential of your own country is wrong.

There will be no benefit from this war. If Russia wins, it will be isolated for a very long time bringing down its economic and human potential. If the war wouldn't be started both countries would have further developed successfully.

Now there will be millions of refugees, hundreds of thousands dead, maybe more millions injured and maimed, destined to poverty and traumatized generation. There is nothing good that this war achieves.
Every wave now is also very likely to be less of a strain on the health care system than the last.

The virulence of the virus isn't changing that much, the biggest effect is that most people have gained immunity.

The fact that 90% of the people in hospitals are unvaccinated though while vaccination rates are at least >60% everywhere is a sign though that the unvaccinated population still has failed to achieve a level of immunity equal to vaccination.

They're going to just accumulate immunity the hard way though with more human casualties and death. There isn't a lot to be done about that though.

Eventually the rates of unvaccinated in the hospital with each wave will start reflecting the population rate of unvaccinated and we'll be at pretty much 100% seroprevalence finally.
> How do you explain excess deaths if they are not covid?

Delayed medical care because of Covid fear. I missed my annual physical two years ago and ended up with a heart attack I barely survived last October. People were delaying routine screenings such as mammograms, physicals, and other preventative care.

There are also increases in suicide, deaths of despair, especially in younger people. Addiction especially.

Nobody wants to talk about vaccine injuries and related deaths. But that is non-zero.
You just Chicken and Egged your email login.
Over Thunderbolt at least. I imagine it might subpar on non supported stuff.
Applying abstract thinking from first principles, what kind of approach could theoretically be better?
It's simple. Killing people and uprooting lives just for the sake of politics from some random Presidential palace is abhorrent.

A few people's political agenda is not good enough for a full scale war.

War has never resolved anything and American war expeditions are the textbook example to learn from. The resentment from war continues for generations. Ukrainian people and Russian people used to view themselves as closely related but after this war, they won't.
> What systems?

Unaccountable police that can get away with murder unless the entire country starts rioting for two months.

Those systems. The systems that let an officer strangle a man to death, while all his peers stand by and watch it happen, and then they all file a police report of 'we responded to a medical emergency, patient died on the scene'.

Nothing about these systems has changed since 2020. The police are above the law, and they act to take full advantage of it. That's what people have been protesting about. Most police departments responded to the protests by... Continuing to do the same things that are being protested.
It looks like it uses "modern" emojis that aren't available on our OS.

I think Flash died 2 years too early, or WebAssembly came 2 years too late. Because it always seemed to me that Flash was a good idea for the web, if it existed as a layer that was not "native" could be linked as a library (on top of Wasm and canvas). Alas, there were plans to emulate Flash using Wasm, but it was on its deathbed by the time we were starting the open design process. Adobe's VM seems to have had some design decisions that made it difficult to just "hit the button" and make it run decent on Wasm.
Facebook Allows Praise of Neo-Nazi Battalion If It Fights Russian Invasion
Yeah, it's really not. That entire segment that Flash games owned doesn't exist any more in the same way that it did.

The closest thing would be the mobile games like Candy Crush and Garden Saga, but even there the tide has passed, and it's too difficult to make anything - King was bought by Activision for 6 billion dollars.

I go to meetings for a living. Its been a huge productivity boost to not have to walk 15 minutes across campus to meet my clients. Plus I never have to worry about not having a projector.

Although you're right, I did go back to the office the other day and spent a good hour talking to a co-worker about their Caribbean vacation. I hadn't had one of those in years. Not sure how that boosted innovation and productivity tho.
As an Italian, I must admit this is easier to understand than most other romance languages for me.
I think one factor is the entry cost & inertia of older mass media formats: it's not like newspapers, radio, or TV were ever 100% reliable sources of unbiased information but the cost of the staffing, equipment, need to print locally, etc. meant that there was a lot of money on the line and that much more local accountability. If you printed a bunch of scurrilous allegations about someone, you had assets which could be seized and employees who might face something like libel charges. Local distribution also meant that you tended to build a reputation over time which people could take into account when deciding whether to trust your reporting.

I don't want to oversell that as a perfect solution but it's pretty different from an era where a teenager in another country can anonymously register dcpatrioteagle.com, pay to pump a bunch of nonsense on Facebook, and disappear without a trace when their reputation catches up with them.
Is the idea here that it's inspired by re_data due to using dbt transformations underneath or because it's reposted looking nearly the same? (or both?)

Looks like much of the lineage code is also largely a wrapper around this library: https://github.com/reata/sqllineage

Would be curious to understand the project's purpose and unique contributions vs. the underlying dependencies powering it as there seems to be some ambiguity. Is this just a wrapper around dbt transformations and a lineage library in one package? Can I just use them directly?
Thanks, very interesting. Wikipedia has a good page on Scots-Irish, with a suggestion lowland Scots were originally Irish gaels. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch-Irish_Americans

The concept of an exec being the landlord of a new grad hire or owning intern housing is truly techno-feudalism.
The far majority of people do grunt work. Only a small group actually does anything both innovative and non-obvious, which is the "use case" presented for these small talks. Most devs who are not part of that small group and find something non-obvious have to fight through many layers of bureaucracy to even get their voice heard, let alone be given time to prove their idea without having to invest their own time. This also doesn't take into account the far majority of those select people have dedicated times where they research potential innovations, and getting into that small group is also difficult.

Even supposing FAANG, fortune 100s or whatever top percentile is likely to desire more innovation, the idea spontaneous talks one supposedly only could have in the office significantly impacting the rates of innovation is pretty far-fetched and mostly just an assumption.
It's not like this isn't the norm literally everywhere.

Not making it acceptable, though.

I guess I'm just trying to point out that politicians and mass media are a global problem.
It means a "factor of 10".

I'll let it slide if it is really a factor of 8 or 9. If it is factor of 2 it does not apply.

Great to hear the perspective of someone who actually went through it rather than a parent. Seems like they can be very hit or miss depending on the particular school/student. Was your poor performance communicated to your parents at all? Seems like you should have been pulled out earlier.
It might depend on the exploitation, but most raft methods (floating styrofoam board) I've seen will reuse the board so it's really not as bad as it seems.

As for the safe part, the concentration of plastics in the nutrient solution might be a tad higher, but the plant will only pick up a small fraction or none of it so there aren't any big health concerns on that front.
Fun game!

I'd suggest adding a link to the shareable clipboard score.
I am cheering for the hydrogen companies, we need them!

Core of the innovation is around the engineering of the microorganism. One way to think of it is that it is similar to chip designs. In the 80s (I think) ARM designed chips that had super low power consumption. They patented that design and those chip designs are why we enjoy better battery life on our devices today. We have a similar approach in terms of where our IP resides.

In terms of chemical reactions, we can in theory produce almost any chemical compound found in nature directly, and all chemicals in multiple steps. Our process is anaerobic so we can't do reactions (yet) that require an oxidation step. For context, there are more than 200,000 organic compounds found in the biosphere.
