My employer made me use an SOE Macbook that had the 'butterfly keyboard'. Many of its keys would only work haphazardly. Once I made the mistake of setting my password using the laptop's keyboard instead of the external one I normally used. It had me going for ages before I realised there was one letter in the password missing!
“What it could discover is entirely speculative.”

This has been said, in one form or another, about almost any invention and experiment, shortly before actual discoveries were made. Scientific conservatism at its worst.
I love Dhall, but I think Optionals might not be a good fit for a configuration language, especially one that has to deal with Kubernetes

A Dhall joke (those that write a lot of it will get it):

Some foo walks into Some bar and asks the bartender, do you have Some beer?
The bartender answers: We have None.
Practically the only think I like about Scrum is that there's a person who is slightly at arm's length to referee these sorts of things. But it's a sort of broken clock scenario.
Modern Ferraris are amazing driver's cars. To this day, the single best driving experience I've ever had was in a 458 Speciale. There are better engineered cars, there are faster cars, there are more comfortable cars, but this to me is the embodiment of what a car can do. It is just an amazing feeling to drive it. It's like using a precision instrument that somehow immediately becomes an extension of your body. It's really uncanny.

None of the Lamborghini's I was fortunate enough to drive came close to this.
> India is not helping.

Oh, please - stop with the exaggeration! We have been helping Ukraine by sending a lot of humanitarian aid:

... India on Thursday handed over 7,725 kg of humanitarian aid comprising essential medicines and medical equipment to Ukraine ... India sent the first tranche of humanitarian assistance to Ukraine on March 1 ... the consignment comprised two tonnes of humanitarian aid including tents, blankets, surgical gloves, protective eye gear, water storage tanks, sleeping mats, tarpaulin and medicines and other relief material ... Later, on March 9, India's second tranche of humanitarian aid to Ukraine was sent to Romania by an IAF flight ... India provided 90 tons of relief material to Ukraine and India focuses on supplying more medicines to Ukraine ...

Do you think Russia likes that? No. But it understands the limits of its influence on us and also our stand on the war. (And that is because Indian politicians have worked to build a good relationship with many, including both Ukraine and Russia, on terms of equal respect).

Ok... mention a hard idiom? Even if you don't want to go into detail. We'll look it up.

I'm wondering if that's because they used a ton of operators like (.)(.)(.) or :=-=: (just made that up, i hope), or was it because of some deeper reason like too much magic hidden in the monad transformers. Anything concrete you're willing to say will clear some of this haze of non-understanding.

Her claim is that there isn't enough secondary validation to truly conclude they detected gravity waves. the community disagrees and is building more detectors.

I was once angrily told off by a professor from the other side of the ocean for referring to “less data” instead of “fewer data”. He absolutely would have marked off an applicant for making that comment on their resume.

I still defend that a single datapoint whose uncertainty is a real number is an inherently uncountable value and that “less data” was the appropriate phrasing.
In the middle of building a self-hosting setup at home so I went ahead and installed this to give it a trial run. I generally like the interface and think it is a nice take on making self-hosting easier, but I have some pure stream of conscious criticism:

1. There sure are a lot of crypto apps. I'm not vehemently anti-crypto, but it is missing some "obvious" applications and full of those, so I'm curious what the play was there. They're all spread all over the place isntead of in a single category too. There are non-crypto finance apps that are self-hosted (Actual, BudgE, etc.), please don't mix them.

2. Plex and/or jellyfin stand out as huge misses right out of the gate.

3. I am surprised that it doesn't use nginx proxy manager with preset configs to make this all available from a single domain. Needs letsencrypt + a DDNS provider too while you're at it.

4. Why no blog/cms?

5. Can I give it the docker-compose config for an application not on the app store somewhere in GUI?

6. Wait, why is this accessible from Tor? And I can't turn it off? Nope nope nope.

As a user, I liked USB-C. Until I had to implement this ridiculously overcomplicated garbage.

To be spec-conform, you need at least 1 IC. You can theoretically hack a solution together with some resistors, but it's not spec conform. If you need the high-speed lanes, add a mux/redriver to un-flip it.

If you want power delivery (>15W), you need a PD controller and port protection (or a user will fry your data lines when they unplug the connector and put 20V on the data pins). 2 ICs right there, and one of them is basically a microcontroller, so you need to deal with more programming.

If you want alternate mode, you need to implement the entire PD stack and a redriver/mux. That's 2-3 ICs right there that have to work together (so usually a single vendor). And not all of them support alt mode.

Which, ok, fine. I'm not building a cost optimized product, I just want it to work well. Except literally none of the ICs are available. Because USB-C requires ICs for everything, it's all sold out (or total garbage that's not worth designing into a product, or requires vendor support to design the firmware, or or or).

There are some questions for which there is no rational "how" answer -- only some form of courage. For these, the answer you're looking for is to be found either in a community or a spiritual practice.

So: find a community of people who can encourage you to persist and find a prayer or mantra you can say to encourage yourself.
> I wonder if this was imagined to be used so that when you got a sample of a song in MP3 format it could come pre-loaded with ratings from a site or something.

My first thought was shared file systems, e.g. a file server on a home network where each user would play MP3s from their client computer and could store their individual ratings in the files without overwriting any other user’s rating.

Would BPCA[0] be a good compromise? If you pick color combinations that pass both the APCA defined level and the WCAG2 level then it should be "compliant on paper" with WCAG2, and actually readable in practice thanks to also being compliant with the new APCA levels.

One nice thing that can be done with pure functional programming (not sure what - if any - languages or runtimes implement it) is the caching of the results of expensive calls.

If there's any escape hatch to a method/function there's no guarantee that the result of f(q) will be a constant.
The perk also includes: 10 years of salary to your spouse, and monies also for your children. Googlers typically aren't going to microptimize expenses this small.
The better question is, if this an obvious improvement over the current solutions, then what is it specifically that prevents this governing body from allowing the change? And, wouldn't that same issue be a worse problem for a smaller and less well funded governing body?
Not sure what the big deal is with working a 4 day week. I've done it for years, but at 40 hours. It not hard at all to work 40 hours in 4 days, and I am very productive.

Advocating for working 32 hours a week as if 40 is hard? I don't really get that at all. I know lots of people in other areas who easily work 60+ hours a week for years on end.

I suppose if all you want to do is coast along at a company that will likely get wiped out by the competition when TSHTF, it would be nice to work 32 hours, but if you want to get ahead, don't set your sights so low.
The "economic freedom" you describe is not freedom. A better description is "bread and circuses", after the way Roman emperors supposedly kept people happy. The West is familiar with societies like that, because it also describes most of our history. When the elites try to keep the people they depend on prosperous and happy, it's not freedom. It's just common sense for them.

Freedom is not about the freedom of the well-off and the majority. It's always about the freedom of the minorities, the oppressed, and the different. Only their opinions matter. You can only determine the degree of freedom in the society by asking those who don't fit in.

I know many people who come from small towns and rural areas. Places where everyone knows everyone, everyone is part of the community, and everyone helps those in need. Places that are toxic to people who are different. For many of those people, freedom started when they moved to a big city. A city where nobody cares what you are and what you do, where you can safely be yourself, and where you can find other people like you.
On escape hatches: being able to do imperative style processing is great. A loop-and-mutation is often a much more readable way to write what could be written as a fold or (worse) some tail recursive method. F# does this very well I think, with imperative code sitting quite naturally inside an ML dialect.

More importantly, it allows describing the how (or at least something more closer resembling the how) of the computation rather than just describing what is being calculated.

Ask HN: How do you deal with slight memory impairment?
I'm in my 20s, and have been noticing that I have a bad memory. I don't forget anything major or concerning, but its obvious my memory is below average. It is starting to cause a bit of a problem at work.

I started to write a lot of things down, but the problem is that I can't always anticipate what I to need to remember later on. So what tools/methods do you use to help you overcome this?
I’m kind of in a similar boat in terms of tech stack. A few things you could do:

Try to get into https://www.codeable.io/. Haven’t tried personally yet, but might in the future.

Have a look at low-code/nocode tools and become an expert in one of them (Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Zapier, etc.)

Concentrate on landing pages and reach out to marketing agencies to ask if you can contract with them. Might be the easiest way to get a fulltime job as well.

Ignore the requirements and simply apply for some of the job ads. Especially for older big companies, many of them are likely to run on your stack and simply put things like cloud in because the hiring manager has heard that’s what they need to do.

Just some ideas, hope this helps.
Yep. If there's no port protection IC (and even then it might not catch it), if you unplug the USB-C connector you can potentially get 20V+ on the data lines. Goodbye data lines.
wife is an iOS dev for a large company, none of her stuff for her current app would compile properly when they did a pilot test to swap to M1 macbooks. I currently work for a govt contractor and was piloting the M1 macbooks for our project. It would compile fine locally but the images won't not run properly on rancher / k8s if we pushed our images up from our laptops. Would still work if we built it from our CI/CD servers, but that didn't exactly inspire confidence for us to switch over when what we test locally will be different from whats in test.

I have never used JXL honestly - no job I have had it was ever even considered. Given the Jpeg in the name I doubt any pro studio would consider it given the other options do everything needed. DPX is basically the older standard for film and EXR is the newer one.

edit: Just looked at the specs and JpegXL is definitely marketed at least more as a web end viewing file type. It does higher color depths (up to 16 bit) which is pretty good but will not do 32 bit like EXR. Given that EXR is so widely used I would likely not consider anything else.
Good luck! At best you create something very cool. At the worst you learn something new.

> we write an encrypted private key to the note and don't keep a copy

If the private key ever existed in your custody, there is no way to prove that it was not copied. Sorry. No amount of "trust us" is good enough here. Hell, you may not even know if it was copied if your process was compromised. The only way for a private key to be private is for it to never leave a secure device that generates it. (And even then, there are numerous caveats)
It depends on the culture perhaps. "not invented here syndrome" often practiced by many tech companies.

Granted, as an aside, my understanding is the 250 GTO line of models were meant as an afterthought to fund the racing side of things, but to my eye, they are the most beautiful Ferrari models. The supercar/racing inspired models often look ugly to me.

I first programmed using basica on an IBM dual 5.25 diskette PC but have not been able to find it or an emulator. I did graphics programming with it using commands like line (0,0)-(100,200). I've never been able to find a version if basic that had that graphics capability. I loaded it from Dos typing 'basica'. Anyways, great language to learn on.
Cool idea! But how do you make sure that I didn't just pretend to cut the note? If I could fool you into believing I've cut it then I could pay someone with a worthless note.

We already have several technological "cats out of the bag".

One can go buy a CRISPR kit for $1,000 and perform gain of function studies in their garage.

One could build an accelerator or neutron source to amass radiological materials.

One could make dangerous drones that use basic pattern recognition to target specific people or groups

There are plenty of dangerous technologies available to rogue actors these days. Embodied AIs are the absolute least of my concerns when it comes to dangerous technologies. I'm more worried about the guy in the Tesla robot leotard going crazy than I am about AI.
The 3.5mm jack is not that good in my opinion. It fails too quickly. Less than a year for a portable device that bumps around in your pocket and reconnect a couple times a day. Now I still prefer it in many situations to bluetooth with its latency and packet drop issues, but I do think that a better jack could be made and is worth making.

As for suggestions for improvements: it should not be able to spin, because spinning wears it down. Second, maybe some kind of latch to lock it into place.

If you are organized you can call their bluff. But if more than a couple of people defect and keep insisting they can make the unreasonable deadlines, then those people get attention because they are saying what management wants to hear.

One of my goals in life is to get better at identifying (read, admitting/accepting) when the team has defectors and finding someplace else to apply my skills. But the few times it has actually worked are a mighty incentive to try again, even when I should know better.

So what happens if you takeoff in state A with fuel requirement X and land in state B with fuel requirement Y?
Yes 100%. If you, OP, are already outside of a major tech metro (so not SF, NYC, Seattle, Boston) then even better. Small companies outside of major tech metros are desperate for developers who can code because these companies cannot compete on stock or salary the same way major tech metro companies do. These small companies often even train up smart-looking people who don't know code already just to fill their needs.

Judging solely from your "resume", OP, you are in a very good position.

Try looking around Craigslist too for local companies hiring developers. That's how I got my start ~10 years ago making $70k or so. If you have any code you can share, try emailing the CEO/CTO directly explaining your interest and sharing your resume and code.

And always ignore the exact qualifications listed and apply anyway. You don't know what the candidate pool looks like for a company and listings tend to inflate what they need or can get.

Happy to chat more in email (see my HN profile) since I was in a somewhat similar place as you, OP, years ago.

Anyone, not just OP welcome to message me.
California funded stem cell research with Proposition 71 at 3 billion, and the follow-up funding for Proposition 14 at an additional 5.5 billion.

This might not count as it's not a single 'official scientific experiment or tool', but I think that biosci is clearly getting heavily funded.

> Although to be fair using regional slang makes some sense as the Countach dates to around the time that Italy was transitioning to Standard Italian.

? Tuscan was the written standard for Italian since Petrarch and the Piedmontese conquest of Southern Italy was done by 1871. Admittedly colonization took a long time but it’s a very long time since anything but Tuscan has been used in official or prestige circumstances in Italian.
However, just two weeks ago Microsoft announced their "Project Volterra" Mac mini clone for Windows on ARM development, which makes it seem mighty certain that Windows on ARM for Mac is not coming anytime soon because otherwise why on earth would anyone buy that thing…

Reading the tea leaves, if Windows were to come to Apple silicon Macs in an Apple-Microsoft mutually supported form, it would almost certainly be as a guest VM under the macOS hypervisor rather than as Boot Camp 2.0.

That would still leave room for Project Volterra.
I agree that gradual type systems are great, but man, I feel like the expressiveness of e.g. Typescript is fantastic even for 'normal' programming.

Something like fully typed forms (so that e.g. <Input type='text' path='address.street' /> only works if your form data has a { address : {street : string} } + branded types for more custom data fields) is absolutely magical and makes working with lots of highly complex forms a breeze. Tests just don't compare.

The U.S. pulled out because it doesn't want to "create two large 'anti-China' trade bodies". For better or worse (worse, IMO) U.S. preference for the past couple of decades has been a multitude of bilateral agreements, which by their nature would be neither pro- nor anti-China.

And the TPP was ratified (as the TPP11) without the U.S. Should we now consider all of Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam anti-China? I don't think China gets any warm fuzzies from Australia and Japan, but what about all the rest? In any event, what does China expect when its official industrial policy is to milk trade agreements for all their worth without relinquishing any markets to outsiders.

OTOH, conflating (as this Register article does) the proposals of some Chinese economist, no matter how domestically renowned, with official Chinese policy definitely smacks of alarmism and, perhaps, anti-China bias.

Sorry to hear that.

Even in batshit-crazy-expensive California, you can still find state park campsites for as little as $15/night - but a reservation is required. Most average $25-$35/night. I just found a campsite in the stunning Emerald Bay on the shores of Lake Tahoe for $30/night.
