With trenches, since the person has their head above ground, they think even less of safety.
The problem comes after a rain or a very dry period where the sides of the trench collapse. If you are unlucky, the dirt buckles your knees, pulling you down and possibly covering your head.

There’s a reason construction teams bring in reinforced barricades for anything much over 3 feet. Yes it saves on rework, but it’s also about safety.

When I was a kid my dad stopped me from digging a cave in a 5ft tall pile of snow that got stacked up by a plow. I was so mad about that for a long time, but he was probably right. Digging it would likely have been fine, but once it started to melt it could collapse at any point (probably during the heat of the day, when I or another child might have been around).

Agreed. As a fellow rock climber, not a whole lot to talk about. After all, I already know the sport.

But tunnel digging. Now that's a subject where my knowledge is limited. Teach me!
> Or are you saying that holding bitcoin for 1-30 days is "regular usage" ?

Holding money for 1-30 days is regular usage. You get paid, you spend it over a month on wages and expenses.

Bitcoin originally promised to be usable for that. Some companies actually paid you in BTC, some stores actually allowed you to pay with BTC. The original goal was to use BTC like a checking account.

Lightning is great at replacing the BTC network itself for transactions, but it doesn’t help much at allowing BTC to accomplish this original task of matching or exceeding fiat money in actual day to day usability.

Agreed, but also sad. In reality, and in our company, Features like this pile up and no one speaks up. Next thing you know, the product becomes a completely deranged version of original intention. People like you don't exist in every org who has a 1) meticulous understanding of the product and what could go wrong 2) Courage to speak up and not offend the people proposing the change 3) Change management's mind who has been sold the feature-full vision of the product.

Features need to be ruthlessly questioned.

The Fundamental Attribution Error: What It Is and How to Avoid It
The national rate of homeownership in the US is 64.8%. That's a hellalotta tech workers.
The article describes the child was already engaging in dangerous behaviour (climbing the roof) and pushing boundaries. By giving errands you are (gradually) setting new boundaries for the child you have at least some control over, instead of them suddenly discovering they can go into the neighbourhood or wherever that you don't know about. At least that is what I understand from it. The alternative would be more/stricter boundaries I think. But that would just lead to more undesired and dangerous behaviour from the child to break those boundaries.

Water shields extremely well. I don't think we'll find living things on the surface, but the oceans are what is exciting, especially possibly hydrothermal vents, which have lots of life on Earth. A surface mission would be looking for signs of life, not life.
On the Merits of Proof of Work
Right, but its effectively a warrant to go back in time and stake out the area. I mean, maybe it's no different than getting someone's phone records, but it feels like overreach to know such a thing is possible (I already knew it was possible). At minimum it's a good reminder that you're carrying a police tracking device in your pocket all the time, and maybe that's a bad idea
I'm fairly certain they're already doing that. Squid Game, Money Heist being two of the most prominent examples. I've come across more and more imported properties dubbed over, which I don't mind at all! Some are quite good, and I probably wouldn't have found them otherwise.
An anecdote. I am 33, married for 10+ years now. Taking care of yourself is not something most people would say I do. Never had any problems attracting mates (although I suppose not taking care of yourself is more socially acceptable in university).

Oh, Super Hans.
A large component here is simply risk tolerance.

Society's risk tolerance, especially for kids, has fallen pretty dramatically. This is probably related to just how many fewer kids US society has in general (births per woman has fallen in half since 1960, and it takes a culture some time to catch up). If you have fewer, then the individual ones become that much more valuable. Your attention and time is divided much less.

A hot metal playground slide was no big deal in the 1970s, nor was a merry-go-round, and kids could get injured relatively easily. But our tolerance of such risk has completely disappeared.
Overrun by a minority is an interesting twist. I suppose it is fine, as long as HN is not overrun by the majority, homogeneous opinion. That would be a dull experience without dissent.
This falsely assumes that labor is the source of all value. It's not.
Not anymore. Not on the M1s. They're far and away faster than anything but the beefiest desktop. A lua parser benchmark I ran in a VM on my M1 beat my 5950X by a factor of two.

The only remaining limitation are missing some ARM docker containers (which is slowly being solved) and the machines not being suitable for ML (in which case you need a desktop or to rent server time on the cloud).
Nah.

First, I don't think any major aesthetic theory claims there's no such thing as beauty. At best, they question the definition of beauty and the classical canons of beauty.

Second, you can put meaning and symbols into atoms buzzing back and forth (atoms buzzing back and forth are more or less a symbol, anyway).

I used to dig a tunnel in our parents backyard. Don’t know how deep it got but as a kid I could go pretty far back. Pretty sure my goal was to reach our neighbor across the street.

It was definitely a death trap. It was a large dirt hole dug deep into a hill.

I was too young to even think of reenforcing it, let alone have a budget to do so. In the end my parents finally decided my tunnel was a death trap and we had to plug it up.

Thinking back I’m amazed it didn’t collapse on me. Oh well… cheating death is just part of growing up.
I like the first comment on that article:

Some people, when trying to explain something, think "I know, I'll use a Jamie Zawinski quote." Now they have two things to explain.
Years ago this YouTuber did some paid voice work for me, narrating dozens of my site's non-fiction articles for an audio book. Fast forward a few years, and he started making his own videos about the exact stories he narrated for me. Dozens of them. It's not technically violating copyright law, but it is parasitic and backstabbing.

A few examples:

Him (2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0pduckpU-A

I recently had someone look through his catalog, and so far he has over 70 videos that seem to be strongly "inspired" by my site's work. I worry he'll shamelessly gobble up everything I have created. Google is already burying me in the regurgitations. Blah.

Apologies for the rant, it just pains me to see these poachers reaping all of the rewards for others' research and leg work.
If you like scary stories about stuff like this, I recommend Michael Crichton:

I agree Google’s quality has declined. But has anyone else noticed the ubiquity of these types of posts? Is this some kind of guerrilla marketing campaign for a stealth startup? If so, can they do iMessage next?
With generics landed, errors are what remains to complain about. Go’s error handling story actually strikes me as a very good fit for daemons, which should generally never crash and have no particularly good place to catch an unhandled exception. On the other hand for RPC and web services - which are indeed major use cases of Go! - the most common error handling strategy is to fail the RPC you’re in. Having to unwind the stack by hand in order to do this (and write all the associated tests) is a level of tedium that I get paid for at work but can’t quite bring myself to do at home.

These aren't alternatives, they're complementary. I appreciate that fuzz testing makes sense over writing unit tests for weird edge cases, but "these parameters can't be zero" isn't an edge case, it's part of the basic design. Here's an example of what X9.62 says:

> If r’ is not an integer in the interval [1, n-1], then reject the signature.

Let's write a unit test to check say, zero here. Can we also use fuzz testing? Sure, why not. But lines like this ought to scream out for a unit test.

The new macs are (for me) a return to the pre-2015 era but on steroids. My M1 Macbook Air is a blazing fast dev machine for what I do (dockerized full-stack web dev). I do sympathize with all the mac hate during the dreaded 2016-2020 era. I'm glad I held out and skipped that era entirely.
Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?

I wish the number of "GopherCoins" put into "Dependency Management" was broken down into more pieces. Seems like dependencies are stupidly easy everywhere as long as you don't care about any kind of quality assurance. It's easy to get unvetted code running on your machines. Seems like I spend all my time trying to figure out if it's safe to depend on something while dependency management is usually purely a function of will it build/run.

And yes, this is an everywhere problem and therefore Go can't be faulted. And yes everyone's pet language has solved it anyway. Thankfully no one uses anything but silver bullets today. /s

Hard problems are still hard, I suppose.

That makes it more concerning, not less. A quirky hobby stops being quirky when it starts filling a psychological need. Fast forward three months and dude might not want to ever leave his tunnel. Why would he? He feels calm and safe there.
This is the sane approach. Nobody uses the bizarre address formats with quoted strings and embedded comments and whatnot. There are included in the RFC because of backwards compatibility with legacy email systems from before SMTP.

Sad this is getting downvoted hard. Probably because it feels gauche to bring this up in context of this article. Sort of every time a child accidentally gets shot, you cannot bring up the fetishization of guns as the underlying condition.

Anyway, you have my upvote. The accidental killing of children with our cars (which forgetting them in the backseat is only a minuscule portion of) is purely 100% because the public realm we've built is unaccessible without cars. Revealing too that the majority of "fixes" to this problem are additional technological layers (cars with cooling mechanisms! occupant alert system! mnemotechnic devices! better code enforcement!), rather than supporting the removal of misapplied technology in the first place.
Awesome! Let me know what you think.
Not sure why you are downvoted since here on HN, a bad egg soils the bunch. The logic with them is as follows with an example of a fallacy with cars and the environment:

'The majority of cars worldwide are not electric. They are all petrol and diesel cars. That means that ALL cars are bad for the environment and that will not change and thus should be all banned.'

Not all cryptocurrency projects are scams, just like not all cars are burning up the planet.

The absolutism towards whether if all cryptocurrency projects will go away due to a 'bUnCH OF Scam PrOjEctS' or 'it's ALl a scAm™' is just as silly as suggesting that all cryptocurrency projects are guaranteed to survive, 'becAuse iT is the FutURE, bRO™' or 'JUst WaiT fOr ThIs PrOJEct ReAL sooN™'.

I'll tell you that both extremes are incorrect. That is even before accounting for regulations getting involved.
> Of all the things we're worried about here it is the tunnel.

Tunnel vision?

Adults generally have better things to do. Except this guy, he's got a tunnel.
> If you don't want to be tracked 24/7, maybe don't bring a device that reports your location to multiple companies 24/7.

Is that the kind of world you want to have? Why should be have to choose between using technology and having privacy? That seems like the sort of reasonable expectation of privacy that the fourth amendment is supposed to secure, even if it's not explicitly covered
All that ice and water is what would protect life, not an atmosphere. Europe has huge warm water oceans, in some estimates more water than Earth. It may have hydrothermal vents from tidal heating, providing everything required for life. Or so the story goes.

Both Europa and Titan are technically ocean worlds, but the likelihood of Titan containing life is much lower I think, given it is so cold that methane is the main surface liquid.
> The interface between church and state in the US is always friction-filled, because the separation of church and state creates an immediate contradiction: we must separate people's faith-based morality from the conduct of the government, yet we recognize that morality is an inextricable part of every individual.

The American notion of "separation of church and state" refers to pluralism, not secularism. It's a nation founded by groups of religious nuts who sought to create a system where we could leave each other alone. We're not a country like France where there's a secular "civic religion" into which everyone must be socialized: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/12/france-...

> In this case, these children are growing up in a society with laws that recognize the dignity and value of every one of those families.

Our laws require equal rights and equal treatment in various contexts: government services, employment, etc. They don't say anything about "value" because in a pluralistic society people have different values.

> Regardless of the lessons children learn at home, it's the responsibility of the school to teach them that the law and the culture they're living in consider those families all equivalently correct. So it's clear for the state (via the school) to have a say in this.

Law, culture, and morality are separate domains. Americans share law. They don't necessarily share culture or morality. Public schools can teach about the law and behavioral expectations. But they aren't permitted to intrude into the domain of what's "correct"--i.e. moral right versus wrong: "The States Parties to the present Covenant undertake to have respect for the liberty of parents and, when applicable, legal guardians to ensure the religious and moral education of their children in conformity with their own convictions."

Asserting that schools get to socialize kids into "culture"--whose culture?--is the off ramp where you lose lots of parents. (Note that this law has strong public support in Florida, from a population that also strongly supports same sex marriage.) What’s the scope of this principle? What other aspects of sexual morality do teachers get to tell kids about? When I got married, my (Bangladeshi American) mom told my (white American) wife: "You know, we don't get divorced." There's lots of things that Muslim Americans accept as legal and part of white American culture over which they maintain distinct moral standards in their own families and communities. I suspect though I can’t be sure that Hispanics in Florida are in a similar boat. Pluralism requires respecting those boundaries.
Thank you! We're very excited to be at this point.

It’s kinda wild to think about how incomplete written language is compared to spoken language. Punctuation does a lot of heavy lifting. If I write “I think well the I mean what album is this the song thats playing from” it takes some work to parse, but that’s what an ASR system has to do. A more human transcription might be “I think-- well the-- I mean, what album is this (the song that’s playing) from?”
Thank you! Hope it helps you and your team.
It's worth noting that if you have the "Messages in iCloud" feature turned on, the local sqlite database can't be relied on any more. Or, rather, you become able to access messages in the client that aren't actually stored on-disk, and querying the local database will only turn up messages received since you set up the particular computer you're using.

I know you said you dont want mac, but I recommend apple only for the hardware. If you want linux, you can use Asahi Linux. Its in the beta stages but it allows your to harness mac’s superior hardware to develop on Linux. Apple is proven to make long lasting products that meet all the requirements you’ve list. Recommend M1 in particular, better than most intel and ARM laptops of its generation.

Ah so this is about twitter culture. I agree, it is strange that people showing some outward interest in crypto are ignored.

These conversations basically go like this

<user with nft monkey avatar>: thats not accurate, the flash loan was used to borrow and acquire a bunch of the governance token and then launch and pass an emergency governance proposal and the primary issue is that the protocol allowed for this to occur in a single block, not the flash loan

<user with predisposition that requires crypto to be bad>: you have an NFT profile picture your opinion is invalid! I just screenshot it!

so the technical person that could improve understanding is surrounded by perpetual ignorance
If it's the same team developing and maintaining all those services, and those services are creating a bigger whole together, then using a single language for all of them will be very beneficial in the long run. Doesn't really matter which language it is.

You can easily reuse libraries, observability tooling, don't have to context switch so often, etc.

It's not "Which language is best for this project in a vacuum where nothing else exists?". It's "Is this language really so much better suited for this project that it's worth all the additional cost and mental overhead it will introduce?".

Not saying it's never the right choice, but it often isn't.

As soon as you can adequately explain why there are people that are vehemently anti-Apple, you will have the answer to this question. You make it sound like it's only pro-Apple people that are fanatics.
I love the idea - One issue I'm seeing however is that places with duplicate names (Try "Santiago" or "San Jose" for examples of city names that are shared by many large places) aren't returning their distinct results when clicked on, immediately making it impossible for me to use.
The majority of programmers are not freelancers/consultants/cross-team-employees, they're for the most part "stuck" on just 1 team except for switching jobs. And so sure, while a new project gets started somewhere in the org more frequently than "once-per-year", for most programmers it's not their team. And so their answer is "no".

And so that "42%" doesn't seem high to me.

If the question had been "did a freelancer/consultant/cross-team-employee involved with your team evaluate Go against another language for a project as part of their involvement with a team other than your own?" then the answer would probably be "yes" for most programmers (well, more likely "not sure, but probably yes").

If the question had been asked only to freelancers/consultants/cross-team-employees, then "42%" would seem high.
Should we then police the caloric intake of people too? Obesity kills way way more people than tunnels. Like where's the line? And while tunneling might damage utilities, obesity is putting a strain on the healthcare system. To be sure, I'm not saying we should treat overweight people any differently. It's just that your reasoning can be used to justify disallowing pretty much everything that isn't risk free. "We live in a society" goes both ways and does not imply individuals need to give up everything for the greater good
