Of course, it's useful to keep in mind here that overall crime rates are still around only half what they were in the 70s-90s. Combine that with the obvious aftereffects of a lasting pandemic and lockdown (and pandemic-related stimulus evaporating while outbreaks continue) and it doesn't seem very prudent to adopt a sky-is-falling attitude.

What happened to everyone is innocent until proven guilty?
The war in Ukraine was not some neigborly dispute. It is a logical continuation of Russian imperialism which for centuries has used genocide and terror to suppress the masses.

That's how Russia gained it's land area. Pure fucking violence. I have no idea while western colonialism has been judged harshly no-one in the west has spent much effort lamenting the fates of the people subjugated by Russia.

This is not you neighbour blasting music. This is a narcist psycho terrorizing the neighbourhood by wanton burglary and murder. For years. The war in Ukraine is this psycho once again breaking in, shooting your grandmother, raping your son, stealing your washing machine and then telling everyone proudly how rightfull he was to do so.

They went in with the full intent to end Ukrainian identity once and for all. Pure genocide. The last time they tried this was by manufacturing a famine https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

What's the best analogue to think about this?
While Germany was effectively de-nazified after ww2 Russia never de-stalinized or made amends for it's imperial stance. You really have to think of the Russian state you would think about Germany if it was run by third reich institutions.
I am very interested in this project as a "better awk" is something I have often fantasized about.

I read all of the documentation that's available on https://tokay.dev/tokay-docs/, but unfortunately it never really... describes itself? Many sections, including the section on "parselets" are just unwritten. "Consumable" values are mentioned but never described (there is a "stub" section that doesn't really explain what the term means).

It begins with a pretty detailed description of value "severity" but doesn't really motivate why the concept exists. (I think that it's (basically) a way to very concisely discard certain matches? When there are "more important" matches around them?)

There are no examples of how I could use Tokay to "parse" something -- there are lots of examples dotted through the docs, but none of them demonstrate working with structured file formats, and they feel a little bit contrived.

I'm not complaining here: this project is not making any false claims about its status, the docs are clearly and explicitly unfinished, it is very clear that Tokay is still under active development.

But I want to learn more about it! I came away from this with a sense that it has the potential to be really useful to me, but without any concrete evidence to support that. I guess the next step is to download the source and start reading through the tests.

All this to say: please highlight some examples showcasing situations where Tokay shines! (Parsing CSVs containing quoted strings was making the rounds recently, right? What does that look like in Tokay?)

Oh, actually, the GitHub readme has an example that is more involved than any in the documentation: https://github.com/tokay-lang/tokay

I got the dang dongle. Now, I want to listen to a podcast while doing to bed. Of course, because cellphone batteries only last like 24 hours, I have to charge overnight.

So now I've got some big fancy inductive charger, so I can leave my charging port open, to attach a dongle. But hey at least Apple saved $1 and got to remove the only non-proprietary port on the thing.
You haven't thought about the possibility that it's not the suburbs but instead 24/7 news media combined with social media that might be a tad bit more to blame? Cars didn't make parents afraid for their kids. Lots didn't either.
I have only seen this effect with artistic products and true communities(As in, places where you know most of the people, and your relationships with others there are at least as important as the official goal of the group).

Technology does not have that effect, because machines aren't people. There's essentially nothing about Linux that I don't like way better now than when I started.

Lightweight tech may lose it's lightweight status, but it still runs extremely fast because of the optimization that "bloatware" usually has.

If people think it's gone downhill, then it was probably always as much of an artistic work as a technical one.

Hacker News isn't a specific tech project, and is closer to a real community, so in this case I would expect that it would go directly toiletwards if it got big.

I think the main factors are content overload and a small group of users that quickly ruin anything.

That group often isn't there at the beginning, because they don't start stuff(Making an effort is uncool), but they do like to show up and shitpost.

It doesn't take many people who really don't care, to turn a place into 4chan. Moderation can't even fix it, you just get kidz bop 4chan lite.

Money. That's what Americans are good for. Bringing in money they earned elsewhere.

And that money (while it raises prices) ends up in the hands of local companies, landlords and governments.

Airliners are much safer than other modes of transportation per mile traveled. The difference vanishes (mostly, or reverses) when interpreted per mile on the vehicle or per trip.

If airliners were only as safe as walking, nobody would use them, because you'd expect to have at least a minor accident (like a sprained ankle) when walking 2000 miles. A similar argument can be made for cars and trains (just a magnitude less distance per trip and consequently a smaller chance of injury).

It's a novel idea in terms of emissions avoidance, though: couple the externalities to personal risk.
I haven't had this experience at all. We have my number registered everywhere because my wife works at a lab and often can't pick up. I've never had anyone calling about the kids seem surprised or ask to talk to the mother.

Edit: actually, those places usually ask for a list of name and number of the parents/guardians. Maybe the number you pick up on was registered as being that of the mother?
i do that as well, i look at it as investment. Recently i wanted to add pub/sub in my app so i looked at multiple libs and i found most of the libs are doing it synchronously and leave async to user however the reason i want to add pub/sub was to continue with the main thread while leaving async to the libs also most of them are taking the lock for the entire time they are publishing which kind of kills the performance. If i had not investigated this i would have taken the latest lib and than would have to do lot of work later so i can see it as time wasted or time saved.
I love how you had to use wireless to solve your wireless problems.
> I feel like antisemitism is making a comeback

I feel that particular political/economic/governmental groups want to bring the idea of antisemitism being alive and well for own gain like the ability to push certain agendas.

Israeli government invading Palestine and shushing everyone around as "antisemites" doesn't really work anymore - the main opinion I'm aware of is that Israeli government is "the new Nazis" by doing what the Nazis did to Jews.

So no - there isn't more antisemitism but there are political groups trying to make it appear so. It's easier to play a victim and to control victimized society.

> I attended a Bar Mitzvah recently, and they hired an off-duty cop to keep an eye on the doors.

There are also more off-duty cops guarding night clubs, more mall cops, stricter flight rules, anti-truck blocks in pedestarian zones and non-white racism. So many agendas and viewpoints you can assign world changes to...
I think a lot of countries that went through eras of ethnic strife or balkanization have positive associations with bigness. Yugoslavia being a prominent example. The US itself may be a pretty good example of a place that benefits from its bigness, openness and ease of movement and sheer scale. A lot of large scale industry which underpins much of the modern world is really located in places that have the capacity and population to pursue big projects.

Within online communities that are dying there is often new life injected if they consolidate. I think the success of Linux is largely owed to big organizations that made it commercially viable. In decentralized form in something like Debian, which aims to reach as broad a base as possible, or corporate in the form of Redhat, but in each case with a growing population, real resources and unified goals.

A company like Amazon during the pandemic is I think also a good example. The logistics that their size enables and the ability to absorb sudden shocks just does not exist at any small company, and it was the big companies that kept the lights on and the goods going around. I was strongly persuaded by Tyler Cowen's book on the topic a few years ago[1].

As a kid, I used to visit my cousins in San Diego, and two summers in a row we had heat waves.

Even though I loved my cousins, the humidity/heat was enough for me to beg to go home.

I remember feeling the fog on the Golden Gate bridge going north, and I was just relieved.

I helped a friend move from Joplin, MO. ten years ago. I actually brought my bicycle because daily exercise helped with my anxiety/depression.

I got off the plane, and that thick moist hot air hit me. I knew there will be no exercise.

My best buddy had a big 7-11 Big Gulp drink in his hand for me. I asked if it's always this hot.

He said this is actually mild.

We were both very broke, and figured I'd get used to the heat. My job was to move him from Joblin to San Rafael. We were beyond co-dependants, and best friends for years.

He took me to his house. It was a small home his father had build in the 40's. He didn't have money to air condition the entire house, but he put up sheets on the kitchen in place of doors. He had one window air conditioner, and that is where we lived for two weeks.

He was getting over his mother's passing.

In the morning he said, "Just trust me on how to survive the heat.".

We would basically just hydrate all day, and look for air conditioning. He smoked heavily, and was just better with the heat than me. He was much older than me, but I was a fat boy.

(I noticed the successful, productive Missourian's went from air conditioned homes, to air conditioned cars, to air conditioned offices. The poor just sweltered.)

I miss you Robert. You were a good friend.
I live here in South Bay and while I do love the weather, it is a bit colder than ideal.

I think SoCal especially San Diego definitely has better and more consistent weather. San Diego is an amazing city apart from weather as well!

Meanwhile my childhood hometown is not dipping below 30C this week, and the highs every day are above 43C…

That implies other runtime will execute them.
Fake news, if Roe is banned it is up to the states to decide if abortion is legal or not. It does not automatically ban abortions everywhere.
Thanks for the kind words. We’ve moved to a more rural city where it doesn’t happen nearly as much anymore (eg less people at the parks in general), and we have a larger property now so the kids play in the yard mostly.

I live in Tel Aviv and the weather there is ideal (for me). Sunny about 300 days a year and doesn’t get too hot because of the sea.

Coming from the NE US the winters were brutal and the summers were so humid you could cut the air with a knife.

Wonder if this is one of the reasons TA is one of the most expensive (and successful) cities in the world.
I'm in the southwest at 5000', and if anything you're understating it. To choose convenient arbitrary samples: Tomorrow 40°F low / 82°F high (42°F delta); Saturday 45°F low / 90°F high (45°F delta). Even 60°F swing isn't unheard of.
> Most users have no idea what any of this means.

OK, but users who do know what it means should be allowed to configure it differently. The computer software should be designed for advanced users, who do know what it means (and includes documentation in case you do not know).

> I want to use https:// if it's available, and http:// otherwise. Should every time I want to click a link, I instead right click to copy the link location, then paste it into the URL bar and modify it to https:// to try that, and then if it fails to load, change it back to http:// ?

No; it should be configurable to do it automatically how you want to do.

> I want it to just work without all that hassle and having to keep a info in my mind of which websites support https:// and which don't.

There are also other ways to do that even without HSTS, though. Still, it should be configurable by the end user.

> Should we also block the website from doing a redirect to https:// ?

No, that it isn't up to the client side to block. (I think that most web sites should not automatically redirect in this way, but that is not related to the client software.)

> HSTS is basically just a redirect cache.

Then it is deficient since it is not the only kind of redirect. Furthermore, it is bad because it does so without the user's specifying if they want this cache or if the user wishes to override it for any reason, making some things difficult to do. It should not try to think they know better than the end user what the end user is wanting to do.
The water is indeed cold most places here. But once you get down to Santa Barbara or better yet Long Beach you can find the occasional beach with warm water.

It's some combination of the very deep water being rather near shore and beaches that get directly blasted with the cold water streaming down the coast from Alaska. Remove/minimize those 2 factors and you can start finding warm water.
Graal is a runtime, what would that help?

HN, might be too broad a community so there are not enough people that are interested in your product. Look for an audience that needs your product and focus your energy there.

Marketing a new product is hard. I would even say that it's harder than making the product. You'll just have to work hard at marketing your product. Identify all the places where it's relevant and point out your advantages over other similar products to your intendent audience.

The developers are the only ones who actually know how to do the actual work needed to teach machines what businesses do, which is why we see all the bull shit happening. Execs and managers are neigh useless in the modern world because they can't fake it anymore. Cut the middle men out!
From comments by other dads I know, and online (some here when I’ve brought it up, and elsewhere) it does seem to be an Australia-plus-a-few-US-states thing. Mostly in places where people are comfortably middle class and/or live in major cities.
Musk has published his margin loans backed by tesla stock. Those come with a clear margin requirement iirc.

It is then easy to calculate 'at this price, the loan will face a margin call'. Options pricing implies a probability of a certain price being hit by a certain time. So they imply a probability of the margin loans Musk has getting a margin call.

Ofcourse, getting a margin call wouldn't mean the loan falls through. Guessing that would require deep insight into Musks personal financials.
My point is that all their eggs are in one basket, in an industry that is particularly prone to disruption. Additionally, as others have since commented, they are also at risk of regulation. So if they want to protect themselves they need to diversify, find other revenue streams.
> We’ll ignore any other weather characteristics like humidity, rain, wind, diurnal temperature difference, etc.

I chuckled at this. Ignoring factors like humidity, rain, wind, and number of sunny days gives you a very distorted vision of the weather in a given place.
Meetings force us to context switch, kill our flow, and sap our job satisfaction long term.

That's what developers say, but I suspect that it's not actually true. Something that leads to a far worse reduction in job satisfaction is not knowing what's going on, being surprised with complex features that the product people have assumed will be simple, and not having opportunities to be seen as an expert. Those things generally require developers to be in meetings. If devs don't have those things they get grumpy and quit.

The problem with most meetings is organisational. If your day is fragmented by lots of one hour meetings with one hour gaps between them then you can't get much else done. That's the frustrating part - you have lots of meetings and lots of 'dead space' between them. If you change things so meetings are 50 minutes long, and only have ten minutes between them, and that 'defrags' all the 'dead space' to a single block where you can focus, then meetings suddenly stop being so much of a problem.

If you hate meetings because they require too much context switching away from code, and they stop you focusing, reorganise them so they don't do that. If your first reaction to this suggestion is "But I can't because I don't control when meetings are", then the problem isn't meetings, it's your colleagues not giving a shit about your working environment. That's a very bad sign.
Only for simple modules, if they get complex enough, one will quickly use the "old" approach with multiple files.
It's true for countries so I would guess it's true for all organizations.

Maybe absolute number of cases but I highly doubt crime per capita is higher in denser locations. If anything, dense population should deter crime. I suspect it's harder to break into a home or kidnap someone when there are more people around to see or hear.
