Someone killing their baby with their drug habit is a bit different than the El Salvador case where an abortion was needed to save the mothers life.

I don't know. Birth control fails and not everyone has a regular monthly cycle. Heck, if you are on the right birth control, you won't have one at all.

You could easily be looking at being 2-3 months into the pregnancy without realizing it, depending on the body changes you experience. You might just think you've been sick. If you aren't expecting to get pregnant and don't have the "normal" symptoms, you are likely to continue doing drugs as you would otherwise.

Heck, if you were addicted and tried to get treatment, you might not find anything better than something non-medical (AA and the lot) even if you need it.

In other words, despite your best effort, it might not be avoided. Add to that the fact that a lot of the studies on "crack babies" have been debunked: Not all drugs actually harm the fetus as much as was advertised, and might not have harmed the baby at all. I'm not an expert, but I have corrected that propaganda in my head.

And I*ll mention: Had she gotten an abortion, she wouldn't have charges.
not so mind boggling, if you regard it as any other company.

Say you ordered a pair of jeans from Sears, via the catalog. And unfortunately your cash transfer cleared on the day they went bankrupt.

They owe you a pair of pants, or your money back if they cannot deliver the product you ordered.

They also owe their employees money, if they have not issued payroll yet for that month.

They also owe their bondholders money.

They may have also taken out bank loans.

You, as the client, are in line behind the employees and bondholders and other creditors.

probably last in line.

In which case you've lost your pants.
I think that’s because you don’t denounce actual extremists within the transgender movement.

I think you’re conflating both groups denouncing those extremists as denouncing you, because those extremists are who represents your group on the mainstream narrative.
With the mileage (and attention) those new products are getting out of using SQLite, I think Richard Hipp deserves a lot more acknowledgement for creating such an amazing piece of software.

"D1 will create read-only clones of your data, close to where your users are, and constantly keep them up-to-date with changes."

Sounds like there will be no synchronous replication and instead there will be a background process to "constantly keep [read-only clones] up-to-date". This means that a stale read from an older read replica can occur even after a write transaction has successfully committed on the "primary" used for writes.

So, while the consistency is not "thrown away", it's no longer a strong consistency? Anyway, Kyle from Jepsen will figure it out soon, I guess :)
It's funny but if crypto really does crash you can bet that all of us will be paying for it one way or another.

As an interview question, "What's your favourite language?" is only interesting if you don't ask it having a "correct answer" in mind.

Depending on when you learn that you have to leave, you can either say "Sorry, I won't be able to stay for the whole duration of the interview" or "Sorry, I'm needed elsewhere, my colleague will handle the rest of the interview". Leaving without saying a thing (even if it's just a nod and a smile) is more disruptive for the candidate than saying nothing.

Or of a winner-take-all electoral system? I can’t say that the systems I’ve seen which have you vote for an amorphous entity instead of a tangible and somewhat accessible person are better in every sense, exactly, but I think of the sort of environment which would develop the word bipartisan to mean universally supported and can’t shake off an overwhelming feeling of stupid.

Programming languages are platforms, not products
The tools that root needs are more often served by being statically linked than dynamically for the situations where the volume with the shared libraries fails to mount.

Having mnt be statically linked makes it much easier to recover that system.

The ideal of "/sbin for system tooling" isn't so much one of static vs dynamic but rather users accidentally finding system tools that don't work and sending email to the admin saying "mnt gives me a permission denied error" when they have no business running it.
This is the entire point of the bill though - the discrimination against companies over 150Bn market cap is there for one reason. There are 72 companies with a market cap over 150Bn. Of those companies there is 1 company that has the Industry Classification System code of 5121 or 71. That 1 company is Disney.

That entire clause is just "Let's find a way to specify Disney without saying Disney". If there were a company in the entertainment business with a market cap of over 150Bn and it's name was Entertainment United then this bill would've been ammended to "Over 150Bn, ICS code of 5121 and name starts with D".

This bill is nothing to do with a serious conversation about copyright. It's interrupting any conversation about Copyright to punish Disney.

"Olson and her coauthors could have designed their study with controls—for instance, by comparing a group of kids who had undergone early social transition with a group with similar psychological profiles that did not undergo social transition. If it turned out that the first group was much more likely to proceed to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone injections, then this would suggest that social transition is not a treatment for but rather a cause of persisting gender dysphoria. “Affirming” these kids would therefore be locking in an “identity” that might otherwise have proved temporary."
Ah, good catch. So the situation in the US is pretty similar to Europe: there are plenty of fast chargers along the long-distance routes.

Honestly I don't think the law industry is in a good shape to answer these questions. The text contains misinformation or maybe even propaganda itself. The election interference in the US 2016 is a joke. Especially in the background of established media trying to pin anything they could find on Trump. But that is secondary as people just seemed to be fed up with the usual suspects. No deeper political analysis necessary. Nobody can tell any of the alleged messages the Russian have allegedly spun. No, any larger influence on the election is probably fantasy or a nice story to save face. Propaganda that worked a bit too well in my opinion.

I think the real issue is that established media will lose and the average voter has much more possibilities to get heard because before wide communication networks there was almost no possibility. Or media could just refuse to publish certain information. As I said, the problem of misinformation comes from established interests for the most part. So the problem of misinformation certainly won't be solved with further censorship. Technically difficult to implement anyway. And that is truly a blessing, even if there is abuse of such channels.

One of my regrets interviewing is not walking out on a all day 10+ hour in-person interview.

I was asked to show up at 8am, but I was not told I would not be leaving the office until 6pm.

Also, I was told it was a direct hire - when I got the offer for something like $35/hr in a major city as a mid level programmer, I sorta lost it on the recruiter. No vacation, purely contract work through the recruiter.

More or less lied to during the entire process. I guess some candidates are happy to get a job and just put up with it? It has to work sometimes...

You're saying you want people to be discriminated by nationality. Correct?
Replace an inefficient organization with a slightly less inefficient organization and you generate billions in value if it was large enough. Doesn't sound like an impossible outlier to me, there are plenty of huge inefficient organizations out there.

And you can't do that with politics. The huge entrenched organization will always have way more political power than your new efficient startup, so without capitalism they will never get replaced. With capitalism it is still hard to replace then, but it is possible since you have the power of capital investors to rely on and not just politics, and that can give you enough leverage to grow your organization until it can compete with the huge old one.

So the lesson is that basing all decisions in society using politics is bad. But also basing all decisions in society based on capital is also bad. You need a mix since they are good for different things.
I totally assumed the examples to be cherry picked but it's still fun to look at. Not every past border is visible on modern maps, but still some are clearly the consequence of those, for example the german maps where the old GDR is the reason for the high rate of atheism or popularity of more extreme parties.

I think that often past borders are the consequence of different demographics, which clearly translate into modern differences.
Show HN: Reporting on Elasticsearch data filtered by metadata stored in Postgres
I took this advice on my last project and ended up re-writing the whole thing to use Prisma later. I launched and had a successful event with raw sql but it quickly became unwieldy. Prisma gives me type safety throughout my app (written in Typescript) and would have prevented a number of bugs/pain points as my app grew. And I'm only 1 developer, this gets worse if you have multiple people working on it. I still write raw sql for reporting/aggregation (Prisma's features here only work for basic examples in my experience) and I'm not "scared of raw sql" but I can move much faster when I have the guardrails of types.
Nothing mentioned in this post is proprietary. Everything here works cross browser.
If you want to try a literate programming take on forward-mode automatic differentiation in Lisp (Clojure), check out the Differential implementation in my sicmutils library: https://github.com/sicmutils/sicmutils/blob/main/src/sicmuti...

Here's the org-mode export of the file, with all TeX rendered: https://samritchie.io/dual-numbers-and-automatic-differentia...

I worked on this with Gerald Sussman, and it has the somewhat unique feature of being able to take derivatives of higher-order functions. The system is also extensible, so this feature could have been installed outside of the core library, and in fact would need to be to support, say, functions that returns JS futures, scala functions etc.

Enjoy!

> where I got marked as getting it wrong for skipping explicit description of SYN/ACK step of the TCP connection

that's pretty crazy because if you're going to talk about that then you're going to have to talk about congestion control, windowing, every other protocol besides IP that TCP can run on top of and how they work, and all the other things that come into play based on the current state of the various networks between you and the server hosting the website. Answering that one question could take an hour itself. It reminds me of that saying that goes like "How to make an Apple Pie. Step 1, create the universe..."

I'm very fortunate because my last three interviews have been basically calling up an old colleague and asking what they've been up to and if they want some help.
Coinbase limits withdrawals in times when crypto crashes by removing the 'financial services' header in the settings where your connected bank accounts are listed. I don't know if they still do that, but I saw this as recently as a few months ago. You can still empty your account by going through the account deletion process. It will give you the option to sell all your crypto (and maybe to send it to a wallet, I don't know) and do a full withdrawal. Afterwards you can still stop the deletion process if you think you want to keep the account anyway (e.g. I was worried the transaction would somehow not complete and then not have access to the account).
Totally agree. There aren't even completed pilot plants for SSBs. There is nearly 0% chance they will be a majority of the market by 2030. LFP batteries are being made today and even small yearly improvements to energy density will be enough nearly all cars by 2030. Sodium Ion is just coming to market and they look great for grid storage. For transportation CATL is proposing hybrid lithium ion and sodium ion packs to solve some energy density and voltage problems with sodium ion alone.

I don't think there's a need to terminate the interview at the moment of the incident, especially as they're a precious window into the culture of a company. You may learn a lot from watching the reaction of the remaining interviewers over the remainder of the interview.

Assuming that the interviewee chooses not to pursue employment at the company, it seems optional but appropriate to leave constructive feedback with the recruiter/hiring manager on the way out.
Just roll with it. You really don't have much context on the laughter or the leaving. Both could have valid reasons. And maybe they don't and the person is an idiot - just roll with that too.
IMO it's not that the simplest solutions are the best but that the "better" complex solutions are not actually available upfront. They can only be made with hard-won domain knowledge. The design policy for lld v1 per this article encoded many assumptions that turned out to be untrue in practice (like the importance of platform independence). If they had been true then the extra complexity might have been worth it. Over time the simpler lld v2 might accrue its own complexity that better reflects learned experience.

Code is a tool for exploring and understanding problems as much as it is about solving them. Sophisticated solutions can't be designed before they are validated.
Totally agree.

Principles are not absolutes, principles can evolve. Principles are not mandatory, people can operate without principles.

I am arguing that Jack (and Elon) profess to be principled people (in this case, free speech) yet Jack is clearly demonstrating a radical shift in perspective without an accompanying radical shift in principles, which must only be the sign of someone who doesn’t follow principles.

How can Jack hold the same principled view today that he held 2 years ago but disavow the choices he made 2 years ago? If you compress radically different virtues you don’t get the same principles.
Sorry, I shouldn't have used absolutist language. You're right, there are likely a small minority that agrees with everything that at least their faction of the party says.
So you’re saying this wanna be dictator failed with his coup attempt, so ultimately he had to "peacefully" transfer power. So there was no danger and we should move along, nothing to see here, just partisanship.

Do I need to explain what’s wrong with your reasoning?
Which group is that? Can you name them? Who is their leader? Trump told the Proud Boys specifically to "stand back and stand by". They are an armed group.

You are equating the Proud Boys with the amorphous "LGBTQ+ friends" community, and then saying that the latter "regularly riot". That's not tenable.

I think you are deliberately engaging in bad-faith arguments. You are literally saying "gay people are the same as organized armed militias." In fact, you said it's "worse."
> Same with banning the Trump reddit forums, what this achieved was to shift them to their own platform where they, no longer hear opposing views or being challenged. And to me it seems worse than ever in their views and speech, shockingly though sometimes.

There is another aspect to this - the benefit to the rest of the world from not being derailed by memetic diarrhea. Trumpism absolutely paralyzed the mainstream discourse by swamping it with nonsense. Even if you were against the nonsense, you ended up having to deal with it, by addressing it or distancing yourself from it. It took much more empathy to read nuance in others' points and not simply write them off as more Trumpist nonsense. Also, see all the times that Trump had a position that had some merit, but yet the opposition Party still staked out a position contrary to it.

The concern isn't whether the Trumpists' dialog grows ever more extreme, but rather whether their numbers grow or diminish. Trumpism is made attractive by real problems, to which it promises simplistic not-even-wrong answers. The fundamental way to make it less attractive is to address those problems, making for a more compelling constructive alternative. This requires being able to debate workable solutions in good faith, without being derailed by the trolling attractor.

Twitter itself may or may not be a platform for constructive debate (their format is horrible and they mostly lucked into the position), but this is the overarching societal dynamic as I see it.
> depredation of one’s own history

Ah yes, we should all instead celebrate mass murder, slavery, mass incarceration, torture, etc. Hooray for the Battle of Wounded Knee!

While we are at it we should be cheering for children to be shot at school mass shootings, women to die in dangerous pregnancies they were forced to carry to term, innocents to rot in prison after crooked cops planted drugs on them, transgender teenagers to be lynched, and elderly homeless people to die on the street after being defrauded of their life savings.

Because caring about what happens to other people would be “self flagellation”, a deep waste if we could instead spend that attention on working for a big suburban McMansion packed with servants where we can train our own children to be entitled little shits, to prepare them to come out at the top of the coming social turmoil when global warming starts to really wreak havoc. Just don’t let those kids get near public school teachers, Tucker told me they are all pedophiles.
> Management and executives are DEFINITELY underpaying us relative to what we bring to the table for them.

This is true of every industry going on decades of increasing productivity and stagnating pay. What's new here besides greater awareness and labor churn? Will there be an actual change going forward? Of course the demographics favor workers now, but the laws and politics often don't. Immigration and outsourcing and automation can change that power dynamic very quickly. What're you going to do? Form a union? Start a company? Vote? Quit and work elsewhere? Interesting times we live in.

> Maybe that is one of the reason headcounts have ballooned and complexity has increased so much -- an attempt to minimize individual impact.

All of my friends and aquaintinces in nursing, tax, retail, and trucking have a few people who are trying to break into programming because of the benefits and pay. Outsourcing, scope creep, and automation exist and are expanding in my industry as well. How long until this drags down programmers as well?
