You don't have to apologize for the word picky, I can easily say words like that with friends without them being triggered, similarly to the word ,,taken'' in another thread.

It's an expression that has been used for a long time, and I don't even see that much difference between the word picky and selective (maybe because I'm not native English speaker, but in my language they are translated the same).
"Most" and "everybody" on HN often means "we at the few megacorps around".

Let me assume instead that most software projects happen in the long tail of small companies, low LOC numbers, low developer head counts (even one or zero - consultants working only when needed.) In that world I saw deployments run when tests pass on one PC, deployed from that PC. In the case of scripting languages even with a git pull on the server and a restart. That works surprisingly well until the team gets larger. Then customers often resist the extra costs and burden of CI. Then some of them cave in after something bad happens.
if you accept the premise behind this question (which I wouldn't dispute) then theoretically any information at all would be self aware given the right computer
Even if there is little upside reward, they might just want to decrease downside risk. It's inexpensive for them to limit data gathering. But letting data gathering fester outside their control and they are 1 PR disaster away from damaging their brand. Which is extremely valuable.
I like CI tools that run locally on a developer machine and run end to end tests with all Microservices locally. The secret is integrating early and often.

That's why I wrote mazzle and platform-up.

Mazzle is a run server that is configured as a Graphviz file (.dot) and defines an end to end environment. Here's an example graph file of a pipeline:

https://github.com/samsquire/mazzle/blob/master/docs/archite...

It's largely a prototype of an idea. It's infrastructure and pipelines as code but incorporates every tool you use from terraform, chef, ansible, puppet, Kubernetes, packer and shell scripts. My example code spins up a Consul and Kubernetes cluster with hashicorp vault and a Debian repository server, configured SSH keys on every worker, bastion and Java application. And Prometheus exporter and grafana. I haven't got around to adding ELK yet. But it didn't take long to do all these things due to Mazzle meaning it's very easy to test complicated changes together.

https://devops-pipeline.com - Mazzle

Platform up is a pattern for local development that tests your Microservices locally all together. You use vagrant-lxc and ansible together to deploy everything locally. So you can test your secret management locally and deployment process. If your ELK stack is ansible driven you can even run your ELK stack locally as I did on a client project.

Bold claim in terms of IT (there exists currently no self-aware system in IT) but of course it contains all the info needed to build a human.

I'd rather say it contains the code to generate itself which should be much easier (= earlier) to find.
Personally, I find meditation as presented by Mingyur Rinpoche (from Tibetan Buddhist tradition) very useful and practically applicable to every day life. It goes beyond just mindfulness. Here is a quote from [0]:

"...practicing meditation is a process of exploring the heart and mind, of fully experiencing the richness of awareness itself. This implies that meditation is not meant to eliminate the things we don’t like about ourselves, or even to become “better” people. Meditation helps us to see that we are already whole and complete. It is a practical tool that enables us to get in touch with our true nature.

The path of meditation unfolds in two stages: We begin by recognizing that the nature of awareness is fundamentally good and pure, and that it is the source of true and lasting happiness. Once we have directly experienced the basic goodness of awareness, the path of meditation then consists of nurturing this recognition and allowing the qualities of awareness to manifest fully."

I love my kids without bounds, they are best served by two parents right now. The logistics of separated parent childcare, for now, outweigh the daily dredge of being a washing machine.

As for later, who knows. Somewhere between the age of 0 and 30, you don't need your parents to hold your hand when you have a nightmare, when that time comes I'll think again.
> On the other hand: are humans really able to explain their inner workings of the brain, or aren’t we as well describing what kind of input features motivated our decisions?

That's really an interesting question. Even mathematical proofs are not really 100% rigorous. They are really about convincing others and it's really dependent on the others knowledge. As an engineer I would require much more detailed steps than a mathematician to accept a proof (if we engineers cared about that, of course).

So, to summarize, an explanation is really an ill defined concept.
Minting is probably the least energy intensive part of maintaining a fiat currency since paper is cheap. There is an enormous enforcement apparatus that goes into going after counterfeiting, keeping the mints incredibly secure, armored trucks to carry bills to destinations, etc.
I don't think you read Marx, because what you're saying about his work ain't true: he absolutely had a systemic thinking and within it for sure perfection could be achieved, by means of superceding the division of classes. Nevertheless, most people who cite Marx didn't actually read Marx, but a rehashed version from someone else. Or perhaps only a small, incomplete, subset of his work, from a very specific perspective. Marx's writings in particular have been falsified many times, for a multitude of reasons.

>just a glue for the user.

This is fairly contradictory. The reason gluing APIs together can be easy is because APIs are (usually) documented, mostly deterministic, have a limited set of operations, are designed to be glued to, and various other complexity-mitigating characteristics that don't apply to humans. "Gluing" with a human is intrinsically complex, so the way we use the word "glue" doesn't really apply.
The article makes vague references to scary sounding incidents such as:

> In one incident in December 2021, a United Airlines pilot declared a mayday after the system controlling the pitch and altitude of the plane started malfunctioning.

And yet, after searching multiple online databases looking for more info, I can't find any evidence of this ever having happened. One exception is this incident from December 2021 in the NASA database which references a non-MAX 737-800:

> B737-800 Captain reported stabilizer trim became inoperative and elected to divert and make a precautionary landing.

Surely the authors of this hit piece would not have confused the MAX with a completely different aircraft?
Yes, it doesn't necessarily follow, but it is indeed conjectured that pi is a normal number, meaning all digits appear with the same frequency, but it is not known yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number

If this is how we decided it is, they will not. Sadly an awful lot of people already decided that this is an unchangable law of nature — and by doing so they are complicit.
IMHO the software engineering community has Stockholm’s syndrome around compensation (cue the doofy but not inaccurate jock/nerd dichotomy stereotype of not even 10 or 20 years ago).

This shit is hard. Even relatively intermediate SWE jobs demand a level of fluid intelligence and capacity for detail within 1-2 sigma of the hardest jobs on Earth, and the more elite software jobs are among the most demanding jobs on Earth.

This trend is accelerating as software “eats the world” or whatever we’re calling it now.

Why shouldn’t we make a fuckload of money?
To be aware of the present moment: the sounds, the slight movement of air against your skin, how the floor feels against your feet and so on.

If consciousness is a stream of "nows" the idea is to be aware of the stream instead of being a passenger, if it makes sense.

When we focus we do not really focus.

For example, while we eat, we get all kinds of thoughts, and we can easily get lost in them. Planning about the future, thinking about the past. We can get lost in our mind and our thoughts carry us around.

This is our default mode.

With meditation, we can learn to focus on what we are doing much more precisely than "typical" focus that we think is focusing, but the typical one we consider mainly "what we think our body is actively doing". We do not typically consider what's going on in the mind.

With meditation, we can learn to let go of the thoughts in our mind, so that we do not get dragged around this way or that way easily.

Training the mind is a skill that one learns over months and years.

When I meditate, I deliberately let the thoughts pass, and every session of meditation trains me to automatically be able to do it during my daily activities.

So when I am eating, I am only eating, with my body, but also my mind. When I am relaxing, I am truly relaxing. When I am thinking about something, I am truly thinking about only that thing.
An important lesson to learn in life is that most people couldn't care less what kind of car you drive and those who do are not worth worrying about.

I've heard (2nd-level -- ie, people that talked to people in Apple, in confidence) rumors that they want to use the data themselves to sell more stuff. All under the guise of "privacy," it's the best marketing ploy ever... if true.

I like what Apple is doing, but I've heard that rumor enough times from former employees who worked on this stuff, and people who've come out of meetings with the Safari guys, that I continue to be wary of Apple.

chessprogramming.org is a treasure trove of knowledge on building chess engines. With its help, I wrote one in C++ a few years ago that got quite good (2100+ rating on FICS but that's nowhere close to the likes of Stockfish). In fact, writing a reasonably strong chess engine is straightforward (and incredibly fun) but at the top end of strength, there's immense depth, and after a point making improvements gets increasingly resource intensive (tuning params, running experiments to verify strength gain all takes a lot of compute).

Chess programming is also extremely addictive. On forums like talkchess.com, you see folks hanging out who have been doing it for decades (most of them are also super helpful to newbies).
I love how they've said "constrained to C space".

Many people say speed of light is the absolute speed limit of anything or information can travel. Sure it is, which is easily proven by physics. But the physics we know of applies to what we know. There might be something completely different to what we're seeing/observing/theoritising with our smartest people and best equipment.

I'm not saying we can just go faster than C by advancing technology: I know it's limited by relativity and is not a matter of advancing tech.

What I'm saying is that there will probably be advancements in physics and technology so that C limit will of course stay the same, but it will be the physics inside the box whereas a complete new understanding of reality outside the box would be discovered, where things can travel "faster" than C using other dimensions or something that we even haven't thought of yet "outside the box", while still being perfectly compatible with the "regular" "inside the box" physics we love and use today, without violating and relativity rules of our classical physics.

Then they'll probably look back and just laugh at the people who thought C was the absolute limit to everything.

Honestly? I stay home and might check email when I'm bored but don't do any real work, but I don't usually file sick days either because the bureaucracy is a pain (seriously, I'm already sick, I can't deal with that added stress and I'm not going to the doctor just to spread my viruses and be told to go back home and rest). And as long as we're talking about 2 or 3 days, nobody really seems to care.
The iPhone App Store terms still conflicts with the GPL, right?

If so, isn't that also "over the top ideological"? After all, we know Apple's opposition to the GPL dates back to the early 1990s when NeXT used gcc for Objective C, and their rejection of GPLv3 caused them to ship ancient versions of bash, recently replaced with zsh, so it's not like they weren't aware of the GPL.

Some people use Linux (the moral equivalent to "self-host") to avoid Apple's ideological stance.

Which, from a business standpoint, makes for a marketing opportunity for a FOSS-aligned source code hosting company. Which takes us from an ideological position to an economics one.

(To quote Bill Hicks: “Oh, you know what Bill’s doing? He’s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That’s a good market. He’s very smart.”)
The difference might be:

For your example there is an algorithm to describe the sequence of digits and for Pi there isn't.

EDIT + Clarification: There is an algorithm to calculate the digits of your number without calculating all previous digits. But for pi there isn't.

When you create a new company, you write down an arbitrary number of shares that it is made of, and give yourself 100% of them at $0.00.

From then on, the goal is to sell shares at > $0.00

But instead of selling any of those shares, when an investor comes you create a bunch more shares at $0.00 and sell them, dropping your percent of ownership to < 100% while not incurring a capital gains tax event.
I don't write C++ much anymore, but to take an example where we want to union two sets (I'm sure the C++ one could be better? I've adapted from multiple examples)

C++:

int first[] = {1,2,3,4};
int second[] = {5,6,3,4};
std::vector<int> v(8);
std::vector<int>::iterator it;

std::sort (first,first + 4); // 1 2 3 4
std::sort (second,second + 4); // 3 4 5 6

it = std::set_union (first, first + 4, second, second + 4, v.begin());

v.resize(it - v.begin());

for(it = v.begin(); it != v.end(); ++it)
std::cout << ' ' << *it;
std::cout << '\n';

Swift:

let a = Set([1,2,3,4])
let b = Set([5,6,3,4])
let c = a.union(b)
print(c) //prints "[1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 4]"
Hmm I'm unconvinced. It's already possible to have developers run tests locally and not run tests in CI, which is what this sounds like.

Nobody does it because developers can't be trusted to actually run tests.

Perhaps if there was some way to cryptographically prove that you've run tests? That doesn't sound possible though.

Sure, except that enforcing property rights hinges on the ability to confiscate the stolen or misappropriated assets. The harder the assets are to confiscate, the harder it is to enforce ownership of those assets.
Interesting UX field, not many designers work with TV as an platform.

It sounds like the acquirer was at much fault as the company. Launching a musical instrument at CES is dumb - you go to NAMM (winter and summer), AES, or even NAB - somewhere where early adopters are, and press that will showcase the product to them.

Requiring theory and practice to use an instrument isn't bad design. Compromising creative potential for potential market size just turns it into a toy, not something with staying power.

Killing the android version would have been fine. Music apps and tools have been great on iOS since well before Oboe dropped on Android to fix the latency issues. The poster seems to be as wrong a fit for this product as it was for the market.

All that said if you make a music tool and find an acquirer for any dollar amount you've succeeded. The market is teeny and people don't want to pay for new things.

It seems like a core argument is the pre-commit tests that runs as commit hooks on the developers computer.

I have worked in a place where they did that, and I think the cons heavily outweighed the pros. I can not push incomplete work to a remote, I can not separate feature development and chores (eg. linting) because I _need_ to fix stuff in order to commit an push, etc.

> Continuous Integration is a model thats tightly tied to how we run version control.

I would say that a pre-commit testing world is much tighter. CI, as many know it, as a passive observer. When stuff fails, it will let you know. You can still merge.

One thing that would be nice, however, would be the ability to run the entire pipeline locally. For GitHub actions, it indeed seems like there are viable options to do that.
For those who do cryptic crosswords, CrosswordGenius [1] on iOS (Android coming apparently) will solve clues for you - and explain the logic it used!

This is extremely helpful when you aren’t familiar with a particular setter’s style. If you’ve guessed an answer (and if you’re on a mobile app you might have already been able to verify that it’s correct) you may not be sure how the clue maps to it.

Example:

Digital projection tempered elation (7)

I believe the answer is:

TOENAIL
'digital projection' is the definition.
(protection on a digit of the foot)

'tempered elation' is the wordplay.
'tempered' indicates an anagram (temper can mean to adjust or modify).
'elation' is an anagram of 'TOENAIL'.

It's about training your mind's executive control/function. You learn to focus on one thing and allow others to pass through your awareness without them being overly distracting/disturbing.

Think of your focus like a spotlight. Most people have very little control over their spotlight and it gets aimed at whatever is the latest thing to enter their awareness: a thought, a sound, another thought, a visual, etc. It's bouncing all around, all the time. A proficient meditator can more effectively control where the spotlight points. Over time, as the mind slowly learns to do this better, the stuff outside the spotlight fades and become less intrusive. This leads to increasing states of calm and peacefulness which extend even after the meditation session ends.
There is no such thing as "objectively ugly". Aesthetics are, by their very nature, subjective.

And not sure what axe you have to grind with Patek Phillipe (or their wearers), but I also did an image search for those, and I don't really get your rage here. Most of the watches that came up seem pretty toned-down, and don't scream "look at me I'm so rich" or whatever.

It's disappointing that each database can only talk one SQL dialect.

That means every application that accessed the database will have to use the same, and any migration will be a lot of work.
From what I've understood and practiced it's just being present in the moment, litarally not (explicitly) creating any thoughts, just observing and being aware of any input present outside.

Think of yourself like a wireless radio and think of the meditation like putting yourself into monitor mode.

It's definitely not a scam and it has been practiced a lot in the Eastern culture for long periods of time with observable true benefits.

However, like everything that gets popular in the west, there are many charlatans out there who are scammers.
> You can probably train a language model to lead mathematicians on a wild goose chase for quite a while, by just proposing some definitions, proving a few trivial things about it, proposing another based on that and doing the same etc. Then you can see how long it takes for them to catch on that it's not actually going anywhere.
