FWIW, comparing a misbehaving react hook with the challenges of being a nurse today feels weirdly entitled. Get closer to the reality of their job and you might start to understand why 90% want to leave (90% is a conservative number IMO).

If you’d cut your pay down to 25% of what you make, work 12h a day with a single 30min lunch break (that gets interrupted regularly), including several weekends and nights every month, without guaranteed vacations for holiday season/new year’s eve, work in a team that’s 50% understaff but still needs to deliver no matter what, without any carrer path forward, you’d leave your current SWE job right away. And in comparison, you’d still not be be even to close to what they do (i.e: cleaning up body fluids).
Ask HN: What is JAMStack? How is it different from SPAs with SSR, if at all?
To clarify the question in the title:

1. This[0] is what I mean by JAMStack.
2. "SPA" refers to single-page-app.
3. "SSR" refers to server-side-rendering.

Allegedly 6 more rate hikes from The Fed this year too, so this could just be the beginning.
Of course we have to assume that there is a majority of content being created of Russian failures and losses, while Ukrainian losses might only receive a fraction of the coverage due to the nature of that war (Ukrainian civilians have smartphones, their network still works). And of course our military is gentle, works with surgical precision and has honor while their military is cunning, evil and violent, despite somehow being incompetent and incapable at the same time. It is propaganda.

Still. Russia has been faring so much worse than any observer would've guessed that some people started to rely on a mix of wild speculations and conspiracy theories to bridge the yawning chasm this has left in their world view. It is clear that many observers overestimated the Russian capabilities by a few magnitudes (or others might argue: they underestimated the Ukrainians).
Makes sense. Nobody needs to refinance at these rates.

they claimed to be 2nd best army in the world

then, having invaded a minor military power in a surprise attack , they had been rolled back almost to their starting point while losing 10% of their TOTAL combat troops and large percentage of their effective armor , their black fleet flagship and 8 generals, and all that before their adversary even had the time to call up reserves

so having achieved nothing,and committed heinous war crimes in the process,they are back to trying to keep DNR/LNR

i would say thats quite a significant rot
thats like if US was beaten by Iraqi army during Desert Storm
One of the properties of entropy H(X) of a random variable X is that if f is a bijective function then H(f(X)) = H(X).

For relative entropy (or "KL divergence" as some people call it), we have that H(X||Y) = H(f(X)||f(Y)). But if you fix Y to have a continuous uniform distribution, then you lose this critical property because f(Y) may no longer have a continuous uniform distribution.
And it is still relatively easy to get ~4-4.25% with a little bit of negotiating.
The question that always remains in cases like this: Would they have handled it this well if their target wasn't as well known as SymPy?

This could just be another case of a problem being solved by hitting the news and making enough waves.

Sure they did the right thing, but it was still their active wrongdoing and I won't attribute their reaction to them being decent people. I'm tired of all the DMCA abuse, and reverting it for once isn't worthy of special praise. It makes HackerRank better than other DMCA abusers, but DMCA abusers they still are.

> Objective history book would be ... decisions and... bias

No, not necessarily. From the events you go to the chains of events, the clusters, the trends, the teachings etc.

Similarly to experimental science, where you go from the protocols ("this happened there then") to the "laws".

The role of «decisions and bias» could be limited, with some similar quantitative, and maybe collaborative (aggregation of multi-agent contribution) approach that ranked the outputs through a computed importance.
I always click the headlines with the best puns. And as a meteorologist, I’m encouraged by the trust in the Weather Channel. When I was a kid everyone would say how bad forecasts were, but we’ve really gotten better at the 5-10 day forecasts in the last couple decades. I’m glad to see the public has noticed!
I did the same in California and graduated with a CS last year from Cal State East Bay. I think the grand total for my degree was about $25,000.

It's totally doable to end up debt free with a part time job while living at home. Or easily payable after graduation.
Strategic reviewing, especially when it comes to funding requests, is not really unknown in academic circles, at least in the social sciences and humanities.
It was much the opposite for me.

I started building websites amaterishly from about 1995, and professionally from about 2001, and always hated how complicated and messy my code became any time I wanted to build rich functionality (i.e., a web-app rather than a website).

That first changed for me when I discovered ExtJS (now Sencha) in 2007, then later Angular and finally React in 2017.

These days I work almost daily on a React web-app I've built for displaying realtime weather/climate data for farmers, and it continues to be a very pleasing codebase to work with, more so than any I've worked on before.
Engineering roles aren't seeing the worst of it (yet).
youve completely lost sight of the forest. there are little granules of subjectivity like the ones you nitpick about and there are huge boulders of subjective nonsense that leave you with a giant bump on your head -- the kind that are caused by dogma like race/gender politics, religion, war etc. the absence of these is what is desperately needed. to wave away the boulders because of the granules is idiotic. ive read books that looked at war objectively, excised moral dogma from religion and omitted race/gender crusading entirely and its very good.

There's no need to be politic about this from the POV of systemd. "We support this feature on merged /usr" does not have to mean "we don't allow to run it on legacy systems because it doesn't make sense". Look, your users have more fantasy than you do how to use your software. Doesn't mean you have to support it. But it also doesn't mean you have to explicitly enable it only in the setup you envisioned this being used.

It's not an _assumed_ limitation. It's an _enforced_ limitation based on a limited world-view that also uses the gravity of the project to enforce the world-view on any user.

I'm not arguing pro or against split /usr. Reality though is that for various reasons there are legitimate use-cases for a non-unified directory tree, e.g. embedded ramdisks that contain only the barest of /bin in a crunchgen'd binary that don't want to duplicate stuff that's later used in /usr/bin. Linux is not only desktop and server.

systemd is being adopted because it solves problems well the distributors have, but THEN the distributor ALSO has to bend their distribution to the single enforced world-view the systemd folks have if they want it to integrate. They, the distributors, software integrators per se, are just forced to hack out limitations that are imposed by systemd folks for no benefit of either; systemd dev or user. No unified-/usr-user will benefit from this enforced restriction. A split-/usr-user will have to patch systemd and maintain their tree to use this feature if they have a good use-case for it because .. "systemd says so" (if you prefer that over the "B"DFL lennart).

Lastly, you are correct in that systemd is a pool of like-minded developers - not only lennart; and this is where I add: - who like to shape the reality out there instead of allowing distributors and users to easily take on their own responsibility easily. Sure, I can fork systemd (it's free software after all), but it's unnecessarily "opinionated" for its broad area of application. And that's where the "politic" dimension of systemd development comes into play ...
Tell HN: Facebook is blocking the publiccode.eu open letter initiative as spam
Just try and share the link on facebook, it's blocked as spam.

AirBNB, like Uber, lives on sucking externalities. They are the modern Oil that sometimes spill and kill some ecosystem, but because the ecosystem is far away nobody cares.

Like a pimp, AirBNB is the helpfull middleman for the desperate or the sociopaths.

So, yes, at it's core AirBNB is horrible.

Actually I found that almost no one mastered fundamentals properly when I was an EE undergrad, at least with respect semiconductor physics (and an antenna theory). The "holes and electrons" stuff fundamentally violates conservation of charge because at first the "holes" are stationary but later, with the Hall Effect, suddenly they're moving, that's a bit of sleight of hand that no one cottoned on to. Not the profs, not the legions of grad students. It really does go to show how much of education is cargo cult learning. It turns out that in fact both the 'holes' and the 'electrons' of semiconductor theory are statistical virtual particles and not the fundamental particles that they are purported to be. (Somewhere in my past comments is the similar bit about antennas if anyone is interested)
I recently had to print some of my notes - already in Org mode - for a meeting. After going through numerous options including reformatting in LibreOffice, pandoc, HTML, etc etc I discovered that org mode can export the documents to PDFs that look better than anything else.

Unfortunately, I don't have the config options that I used any more! I changed some fonts and drastically reduced the margins. And some places in which underscores were used had to be escaped as the PDF export interpreted underscores as being subscript.
Oddpost was such an inspiration as to the kind of UX that was possible via the browser.
High testosterone correlates with aggression, and young people have way higher T than elderly. Should we ban people in the highest T quartile from becoming politicians? Of course not. It's a complex and highly individual problem which can't be solved by filtering via just one variable, like age, gender, level of brain deterioration, or some hormonal level.

Here are some problems that _don't_ prevent people of any age from becoming a congressman or woman:

- Alcohol abuse

- Narcissism and/or sociopathy

- High debt

- Cult membership

- Most importantly: Personal financial interest in specific policy changes

Why not start with these? Banning elderly because they on average tend to be more gullible seems like a weird way of addressing governmental issues.

On a different level, I find the idea of banning people from governmental positions based on a specific trait deeply undemocratic, and a slippery slope. Principiis obsta.

Proper backends are written in compiled languages already long before Go was born, C#, Java, C++, D, Rust, F#, Ocaml, Haskell.

Anyone using scripting languages to write backends is only accumulating technological debt, increasingly writing C extensions to duck tape their lack of performance.

A lesson learned with AOLServer, Zope and mod_perl in early 2000, but it seems everyone has to face their own destiny instead of learning from others.

Naturally in such scenarios Go does a better job.

I'm the opposite of just "do", I research so much ahead of the "do" and the gap gets so big that it just feels incredibly hard to backtrack to where I last actually "did".

> as if you're "doing it right" you don't even know what values it's going to apply until after it's applied them. It can't be idempotent because Terraform

what do you mean by this? 'terraform apply' runs plan first, and tells me the diff from the expected state. Then it asks me if I want to reconcile it.

I agree with the rest tho
Yep, saw this. This video is frustrating (to me) because I want to love this box so much! It shows the unit doing everything but what it proports to do. That is, hide poop sounds. Instead, it demonstrates turning on, playing lounge music, showing the time, a light, and taking longer than expected to turn off when the user leaves.
The traveling nurse phenomenon is exemplary bureaucratic absurdity. To paraphrase a conversation with a nurse friend:

Nurse: It's really hard for us to hold on to our good nurses, we can't afford support staff so they get stressed out and leave for traveling gigs.

Me: Why can't you afford support staff?

Nurse: The traveling nurses cost 3x more. We have to hire traveling nurses to replace the ones that left for traveling gigs.

Me: ...

Nurse: I know...

Me: Can't we just... pretend they are all traveling nurses?

Nurse: I know...

I'm not a big fan of defrauding your employer, but sort of hope that some of these "traveling nurses" are somehow swapping gigs secretly and subletting their temporary housing to college students.

Genuine question, cause I don't live in the US, is starting college at 17 unusual? Over here half of the cohort finishing high school are 17, so I expect a similar proportion starting college here are 17.

Personally I had a 2 year gap between high school and university, so I went from being one of the youngest in my year to one of the oldest,which was kinda nice. Plus the time away taught me some self reliance so college was pretty easy to adjust to.
> Terraform is for specifying deterministic, idempotent results given a set of conditions and inputs.

It’s not as reductive as that. Terraform can give you a consistent configuration experience. What exactly that configuration does is heavily context and provider dependent. As commenters elsewhere have pointed out there’s an especially common use case with pinning to an AWS AMI that meets a certain criteria. New AMI gets published and next time you apply it’ll get the new AMI. That’s not idempotent.

Similarly, this Spotify flow would let implement something like a playlist that was dynamic, but refreshed only on your terms. The plan phase of a run would let you assess any playlist changes, if they’re an improvement you can apply. If you don’t like the change you abandon it and leave things as they are. A provider for a different stream service starts to unlock the potential for playlist portability. It doesn’t magically happen. But if you were managing all your playlists this way it would significantly reduce the effort to switch platforms.

As far as Google is concerned, they have solved the problem of making boatloads of money through advertising. I don't see how they can give that up by changing what's working for them.
pretty much the same experience I had arriving in Hong Kong last year. Zero covid is actually (and only) possible if you actually stop it from coming in at the borders. Near 100% chaperoning from airplane to quarantine hotel by hazmat attired public health workers. Unnerving and impressive, at the same time.

Maybe the OP meant something else, but for me writing less is about getting rid of the fluff in non-fiction books. It feels like large portions of those are marketing materials for themselves, telling me how great this book is going to be. Is buyer's remorse this strong that the authors need to alleviate it?

Getting Things Done is the most notorious example from my recent reading list.

I noticed other readers also dislike different anecdotes talking about the same idea. I see how repetition is helpful in learning, so it doesn't bother me as much. But I guess you could trim some fat here too.

It may be theoretically possible to write history books tending towards objectivity through impersonal, collaborative, quantitative, semi-automated methods. See my other post nearby.

But also note what the goals can be: a "computed" summary vs clever, intelligent, wise insights. Note that some texts are built so as to include both: a flow of core analysis with quality commentaries as asides.
My tuition at a prominent UC in the late 90s (per quarter)... was $1200. Books probably added another $600 to that.
Probably the main difference from operating bolted to a test stand is vibration both from its own operation and from all the other engines operating at the same time, and instabilities in fuel flow caused by the same. The bottom end of a launching rocket is a really hostile environment. Just the noise would kill you. Top is marginally better, depending on what happens at the bottom.

It is hard to imagine how you would determine, after the fact, whether a rocket blew up because of material failure or something else, but they seem to do it, anyway during development when they have a zillion sensors attached logging everything in real time: "hmm, a millisecond before the explosion, this reading went out of tolerance, and then this one, then this one, and then the data ends."
And recommendations for something that will run on a Debian system? This looks like something that I'd like to try, but it doesn't have to necessarily be the Kia implementation.
As far as valid Unicode is concerned, you care about the distinction between code points and scalar values, and surrogates are the only difference.

Noncharacters can be represented in any Unicode encoding. Surrogates code points cannot, but can be found in unvalidated UTF-16 (which is most UTF-16).

Dealing with Unicode text semantically requires that you be aware of a great many factors such as those you name, but you don’t need to be aware of those for just storing and transferring Unicode text. But with surrogates, UTF-16 managed to break it for everyone: any part of the system that uses unvalidated UTF-16 can introduce errors that you must care about. Hence surrogates are a special kind of atrocity.
>> You aren't built different.

> Yes they are built different: one person has no struggles writing and actively loves it, cannot stop doing it; the other finds it effortful and painful.

GP probably worded it poorly; yes, we're all built different, but all the successful authors who spoke about their experience all expressed similar struggles.

Terry Pratchett said once (can't be bothered to look for the exact quote) that he literally had to force himself to sit in front of the keyboard for a minimum time each night and type anything, just to get the groove started.

Stephen King said a similar thing in Danse Macabre.

When it comes to software, Joel Spolsky in his JoelOnSoftware blog said the same thing - Fire and Motion is your friend (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/).

When it comes to achieving something[1], you need to "not break the chain". You need to force yourself to start on it each day. After maybe 30m of doing it you'll get into the groove and continue with less effort for the day.

[1] The actual "Something" is not important.

Spend 30m each day practising guitar and eventually you'll be good enough to be in a band.

Mark off a time slot on your calendar every day to spend working on your side-project, and ensure that you have nothing booked after that time-slot, and eventually you'll release your product.

Force yourself to start typing into your book-in-progress for not less than[2] 30m after dinner every single day and I assure you, you will have a completed book in two years.

[2] My experience is that if I force myself to spend not less than 30m on something, by the time the 30m expires, I get into the groove and can run in that rut all day if necessary.

Getting into that groove is the hard part, and is probably why work productivity for most devs is about 10% less than side-project productivity - at work you are constantly yanked out of the rut.
Equifax leaked your social security number and some financial info. Facebook has much more valuable data about your deepest interests, browsing histories, intent, network, future goals and plans. In aggregate they know more about you than your family, parents, maybe even yourself. Sure it may never be leaked. But bits and pieces can leak out in the form of ads.
