The problem is that the new season includes current events. I don’t care that the villain is a Nazi, but making a caricature of a present day political opponent and then beating them up on screen goes too far. I’m so sick of hearing about BLM.
We use recutils for the GNUnet and GNU Taler names and numbers registry: https://gana.gnunet.org
Using the recsel and recfmt tools that come with it you can autogenerate header/source files of constants from such a format into whatever language you need.
For example, we do that for the GNU Name System record types:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schanzen-gns/
https://git.gnunet.org/gana.git/tree/gnu-name-system-record-...

So, quite useful if you have a protocol specification with constants from which you want to generate code.
As developers we like to think we are super smart because we learned to code but it's really not that much of an accomplishment.

I learned to code from a book that cost £60, most professionals spend a fortune and years learning their craft.

I constantly find lay people who find out im a developer and then want to show me the code they copy pasted together to get something done. Sure its not pretty but it works and looks as good as any code spat out by a drag and drop no code tool.

The people that like no code don't create software and thats why they like it, they like the idea they don't have to learn anything and can just click a button on a program to make a new program. It never works out like that, its always just code but with an awkward drag and drop ui instead of text.

The real no code solution is a paragraph description of what the software should do and a big green button that gets an AI to create the new software. Until no code can provide a real solution it's just marketing a fantasy to people who don't know any better.
Anything published by a corporation of Target's size is, at some level, marketing.
For the perfect candidate, it is probably an hour's work. [1]

For a suitable candidate, it is three hours or less.

If it isn't three hours or less, then it is reasonable to assume that you are not what they are looking for.

That is useful information even if potentially disappointing.

It doesn't mean you aren't a good developer.

It just means your experience doesn't fit with their expectations.

There are benefits to working at the pace where the task takes two days...like thinking the problem through.

In some shops that matters a lot.

In others it doesn't matter as much.

Good luck.

[1] I mean two things. I can read the description and imagine a person having the knowledge and experience that makes the problem trivial. The other thing I mean is that I am not such a person. I figure it would take me about a month - if I was getting paid.
Composite namespaces. Like "mcdonje/fourtytwo" or "com.acme/http".
Weed helps me get to sleep, but it does not help me get restful sleep. Quite the opposite, in fact: if I smoke weed before bed, I wake up tired the next day.
I was told that the age of multimedia would deliver radical transparency, where rumors would be dispelled before they had a chance to propagate, and superstitious beliefs would become untenable.
It has the same concept:

To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
I can sympathize with that, but BT devices and software stacks are already out there in huge numbers. It's not even clear to me what BLE is good for, if it can't communicate with existing BT devices. USB3 at least didn't make you throw out your USB2 stuff. Is it even possible to buy a BLE keyboard, headphones, etc.? I guess some newer phones support BLE. My old one doesn't, I'm pretty sure.
`while`? That's just sugar on top of `loop` that automatically inserts an `if` and a `break` for you. Don't be lazy, spell it out.

(Although, in Rust, `if` is also actually just sugar over `match`, so, uh...)
There is a general concept that many people believe in, that you have a responsibility to contribute back to society. This responsibility is usually assumed to be higher if you have reaped oversized rewards from society, such a becoming wealthy
Well, the problem is with that characterization is that it's shown to be false already.

Copilot has reproduced entire functions from existing codebases, which invalidates the idea it doesn't have access to source code.
It's not a matter of bothering, the ones that don't do general solicitation or are less than $150mm AUM don't have to actually verify. Which is good because LPs get mad when you ask them for tax returns.
Also why don't FDA just pull cigarettes off the market if they can do something like this?
Yes now teens are just smoking weed.

https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/teens.html
I quit smoking cigarettes ten years ago and only because I switched to vaping. If they banned it I'd go back to tobacco. In an ideal world I'd do neither, but I've been doing it for so long and I just get a lot of satisfaction out of it that's hard to replace.
If we want to discuss banning things that are unhealthy, destructive, or unsightly; there's a very long list of things we should tackle first. There's a nickel plant next to my house that's been fined about 8 times in the past few years for excessive emissions and that's just an example within a mile of where I live. Don't even get me started on phthalates or plastics.
personal experience X a bit of personal research on the matter:

- deep sleep is restorative (AIUI the brain needs deep sleep otherwise it poisons itself, whereas e.g muscles don't, they need rest)

- light sleep is important too but I feel that was not the question

- I noticed I had a hard time falling asleep early/at "normal" hours

- even if I did, waking up before 9am made me feel terrible through the day until 4pm, even though I had 8-12h of sleep

- I got a fitness device (back then fitbit charge HR, now garmin forerunner 735xt) for unrelated reasons but figured out any data could be helpful as long as I'm aware of the limitations and error margins. Either device I had/have cannot record REM sleep, only deep+light+movement (via HR monitor+accelerometers)

- over five years, data shows that either I sleep no earlier than 1am, or when I sleep before, it's only light sleep and a lot of movement, deep sleep starting between 1-3am

- also, attempts at imposing myself an earlier sleep schedule (in order to get 8h of sleep given I started work at 9am) resulted in worse sleep/later deep sleep

- sometimes on a given night, cumulative deep sleep as reported may look to be enough (e.g 3-4h) but looking at that night timeline graph showed that it was extremely segmented instead of a couple or three chunks

- even if I'm extremely tired I cannot sleep before 1am. it's that or I sleep at 7-9pm and wake up within an hour after 23pm, theb can't get back to sleep until 3-4am

- exercise helps (1h a day), circadian lighting helps (via home assistant + ikea tradfri), reading before sleep helps, time outside helps, sex helps, but any of that does not offset my schedule, it only makes it so I get more/better deep sleep

- food doesn't seem to have much of an effect on me, except sugary stuff which makes me twitchy, and pasta which makes me sleepy but sleep quality is no better (and actually worse because it screws up my schedule)

- caffeine has a measurable effect when taken after 2pm, non measurable before that

- alcohol ruins my deep sleep with some linear-ish correlation

- I also tracked weight, with bad sleep I could eat very little and not lose extra weight, but as soon as I get good sleep over a long enough duration, I can shed extra weight quickly, irrespective of food or exercise

Overall, the device helped a lot in clearing some biases and understanding myself better, even though its data is imperfect and imprecise (e.g sometimes data is obviously messed up, sometimes it can't account for odd sleeping events) but being cognizant of that allowed me to interpret said data, understand specific events and long term trends, and manage my sleep schedule.

EDIT: scratch the 5 years, I just checked and it's actually 8 years, with some gaps. goddammit time flies.
Sure. I saw a tweet that was commenting on the normalization of weed (I know vaping isnt really talking about weed but it feels relevant) and how quickly we went from I'll take a hit of this shitty weed I got from a stranger behind this building to I guess I can rip my vape in this Target at 2pm on a Tuesday.

This is a common phenomena where the fake is more believable than the real thing due to over exposure of the imitation.

Famously the bald eagle sounds nothing like it does in tv and the movies and explosions are rarely massive fireballs. For human interaction it’s much harder to pin down cause and effect but if it happens in other cases it would be very surprising to not happen there.
I find the question of possible influences of Buddhism and perhaps other Indian traditions on Classical Greek, Hellenistic and maybe even early Christian thought to be a fascinating subject, but as far as I know only the sparsest documented evidence of such influences exists.
It's because driving seems to lead many to a special kind of individualistic entitlement.
The Book of Job (c. 500BC) in the Old Testament discusses this at great length.

The "accuser" (Satan) says people only worship God because they get good rewards. If God doesn't reward them, they'd stop worshipping. God disagrees, and allows Satan to test his theory by inflicting great suffering on a righteous, blameless person (Job). Job's friends say "obviously you've sinned, and this is punishment from God", which Job denies. Job eventually demands God justify his suffering, and God takes him on a walk through all creation, effectively saying "you'll never understand divine justice, because it's way too complicated".

So this is not just a recent Christian question, but one that dates back to early Judaism.

If you spend marketing money on the PC version and then it gets pirated a lot, that's a bad roi for the game developer. Also, supporting PC well is expensive because the hardware varies so much. As a result, Steam reviews suffer.

If Nintendo spends money to promote your game because they know piracy isn't an issue on their platform, that's always a huge win for the developer. And support is much easier because everyone has the same standardized hardware. So the developer even gets a better profit margin out of each sale.

That's the gist of why many games start out as a time limited console-only release and then later expand to PC when the engine matures.
I’m disappointed, the actual book link gives a 404
Is this a troll account?

Between the username and the blatant false statement about the UK being libertarian this seems like a downvote account from Reddit.
> If you make it pleasant to ride a bike - people will do it.

Just to put this context < 100 more people "did it". 138 -> 211 isn't significant at all. Also 138 was on day with 55 deg weather and 211 was on 75 deg weather. more people ride bikes on a perfect 75deg day.
Yeah, the though experiment I play out always has a bunch of libertarians living together in a community in the frontier lands somewhere.
One of the new settlers is an industrialist who brings their enterprising attitude and chemical plant with them during the move to this new exciting city. They graciously bring bootstrappy job opportunities for the locals around the new city to much applause.
Anyway fast forward a few years and because disposing of PFAS chemicals is hard, they've just been dumping them in a local wetland to keep costs down and profits up. Lots of kids and many adults start finding it tough with all that cancer they need to pay for, but the local coffin maker is doing a great trade.

After a while the regular libertarians look to confront the plant owner about the waste and dumping asking for a cleanup and compensation for the damage to people and property.

Well hearing that people are upset, the plant owner has a town hall with the folk, they get rowdy and emotional. The plant owner get's defensive and thinks about the possibility of a down quarter for his victimized chemical plant. Everyone leaves a bit upset. Some more than others.

Later that night the plant owner sits in his home and reads about a new libertarian utopia that's started. They go to bed that night with a plan to pack up leave this ungrateful town.

A month later the plant over leaves with most of the towns job, the PFAS stays and everyone else is too sick or poor paying for someones sickness to be able to be a libertarian anymore.

Ta-da, the aristocrats.

Their system was basically designed the way you're saying, with a fallback to grab the data from the central location if it's missing locally. What you're asking for is the same system without a fallback, which doesn't make any sense.
I may just be dense but is there a method for enabling it on your account if you do want to send mail?

I see:

> As a part of this new policy, we have launched partnerships within the DigitalOcean Marketplace for routing mail from DigitalOcean Infrastructure. Our partners have a dedicated focus on email delivery so as a DigitalOcean customer you can be assured that your emails will be delivered.

But it's not clear to me if that means there will certain marketplace applications that will be "blessed" to send mail or if I'm just misinterpreting that line.
I've only used Minikube, kind, and k0s as sandboxes for production kubernetes deployments in the cloud (i.e. EKS). Given I'm already using Docker Desktop on my mac laptop though, the easiest thing to do is just use its built-in kubernetes. It works pretty well, and obviates the need for any of these micro-kubernetes distros.
> Juul didn’t lobby hard enough to achieve the same political clout.

Eh, probably not. The real situation is probably that they were late, and tobacco cigarettes were established before society got hostile to nicotine products.

Another benefit of gym/exercise after work: Makes a great barrier between work life and home life. Ensures you don’t bring work home.

And if you work from an office “I have gym at X hour” is a super socially acceptable reason to leave on time. Nobody questions a gym schedule. Especially if you have a class.
Yes because people don’t smoke weed and drink alcohol if they are underage. There is also no means to get weed cheaper illegally in states where it is legal
Normally having one strong alternative would be enough, but in this case we have two - Gecko and WebKit.

The problem is not in the lack of browser rendering engines, but the lacking innovation and product features of the browsers running these rendering engines.
Definitely. We have plans to allow clone to be a shallow operation, so that the original data stays remote and only your changes are local. Will make queries slower obviously, but that's the right trade-off for some people.
>> While many attempts to build a socialist utopias have failed, it looks like building a libertarian one is even harder, and they disintegrate extremely quickly

Given that attempts to build socialist utopias have resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people, I'm pretty sure "fail fast" is a feature rather than a bug.
The SyncThing FAQ states that due to iOS design decisions, a fully functional client is not possible. Last time I checked it, that answer didn't mention Mobius Sync, even if limited it's great to have an iOS client!

Rust actually works fine with distros. See for example https://github.com/kornelski/cargo-deb and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Rust_package_guidelines

I use Arch Linux and Most Rust programs I use are installed from the Arch repositories or AUR. Rust packages are very well integrated with the distro, they depend on distro packages and have other packages depend on it. As far as the user is concerned, the Rust build system is just a developer-only stuff like CMake or autotools or ninja or whatever.

Anyway I would like to point out that C++ also do something similar to what Rust libraries typically do, which is to use header-only libraries that don't appear as separate distro packages. It's as if every Rust library meant to be used by Rust programs (as opposed to libraries that expose a C API that can be called by other languages) were a header-only library. And this is actually great because Rust (like C++) monomorphizes generics, that is, if you call a generic function defined on another crate, the compiler actually generates a new function just with the type parameters you supplied, and there's no way the library can know upfront which generic instantiations will happen over all programs that use it.

On the reproducibility front, I think it would be great if C program actually did what Rust does and pinned the exact damn versions of all libraries they use (like Cargo.toml does)

This brings back memories of playing Bioshock...
just food for thought, there is quite a bit of research showing that hard exercise right before bed is not optimal. i think its fair to say any is better than none, and if it works for you, it works for you. but the argument is that hard exercise raises you metabolism and body temperature, which is in direct opposition of what your body needs to do to enter deep sleep (lower body temperature)
Nicotine doesn't kill you. It doesn't make everything you own smell like burnt asshole. It doesn't make you cough up black goo when you lay on an inversion table or gasp for breath after a flight of stairs. Vaping is the greatest weapon ever created in the fight against smoking-related health damage.
Not everyone who questions US foreign policy is a paid Russian agent.
Obviously, but if they're adults they're free to make that choice. 140,000 people die of excessive alcohol use in the US every year. This doesn't include violence, drunk driving deaths, or other deaths or crimes committed from alcohol use. I don't drink, but I don't think banning it is the solution, although it wouldn't affect me personally.
It's a case of the relatively spread out development pattern and associated wide rights of way being advantageous. Minneapolis can tack on fairly substantial bike infrastructure without totally screwing over cars, which would be just as politically difficult in Minneapolis as any other American city.

The Grand Rounds help a lot too. It's a great basis to have inherited from the past.

Not giving out real estate on a "first come-first serve basis" but actively moderating the allotment of real estate.
I think I see what you're saying. Usually though, a lot of that stuff is single-setup. E.g., all OS's that we have deployed have the agent installed and running by default.

Additionally, the instance roles are already pre-configured.

There's almost zero overhead in ensuring SSM gets installed on new instances.

One small benefit over TailScale here, I would think, is that I don't have to rely on another tool to gain shell access. Probably a minor win, if you're running a TailScale deployment. In either case, I'd probably want to go with a single tool just to minimize the attack surface area.

The "white collar, grew up in a good school district" class that most of HN is from has a massive blind spot for what "starting a business" looks like at the low end.

There all sorts of "cash only side gig" type activities you can do that provide enough income to pay for a shitty apartment, food, basic transportation, etc if you do them 40+hr/wk. The first few months are hard but you get better, build your network, get regular customers, etc and things stabilize. If you're starting with some marketable skill or specialized knowledge it's even faster.

Your username is apt and seems to indicate that your comment is not in good faith.

Neither the US nor the UK are libertarian societies. Both have substantial safety nets and large governments that work (mostly) for the common weal.

Yes, during the 20th century, western economies did vastly better than, say, North Korea or the Soviet Union, but China in the 21st century is the odd data point. They are neither fish nor fowl, not communist, not really capitalist, certainly centrally controlled in some aspects and bizarrely wild west in others.
Probably about same as share as of USSR's. They just were open about it. Also, crucial word here is "former". Like, there is a big difference between being of a former fascist state, and carrying on ongoing genocide.
